a boarding house. All this cost mon

self and Wallace that they would be
ready to commence paying operations.
| He had made all the estimates and
even the preliminary survey. He was
| therefore the more grievously disap-
pointed when Wallace Carpenter made
| 1t impossible for him to do so.
| 1t was about the middle of July He
was sitting back idly in the clean
painted mill office with the big square
desk and the three chairs. Through
the door he could see Collins perched
on high stool before the shelf-like
desk. From the open window came the
| clear. musical note of the circular saw,
the fresh, aromatic smell OF new lum-
beri the bracing air from Superior spar
king in the ofting. He felt tired. In
rare moments such as these, when the
muscles of his striving relaxed, his
mind turned to the past. Old sorrows
rose before him and looked at him with
their sad eyes. He wondered where
his sister was. She would be twenty
two years old now. A tenderness,
haunting, fearful, invaded his heart
AT such moments the hard shell of his
rough woods life seemed to rend apart.
He longed with great longing for
sympathy, for love.
The outer door, beyond the cage be-
hind which Collins and his shelf desk
were placed, flew open. Thorpe heard
brief greeting, and Wallace Carpen-
ter stood before him.
'Why, Wallace, l didn't know you
were coming" began Thorpe, and stop
ped. The boy. usually 80 fresh and
happily buoyant, looked ten years old

his eyes. why. what's the matter2"
cried Thorpe
He rose and swiftly slut the door IN
to the outer Office. Wallace seated
himself mechanically.
Everything! Everythingy' he said
in despair. i've been q fool I've

So bitter was his tone that Thorpe
was startled. The lumberman sat
down on the other side of the desk.

the boy.

the unhappy boy. And my sister,

penniless isn't the worst thing that can

thirty thousand more? It's credit is
good, and that amount would save my
margins"
"You are partner" replied Thorpe.
"Your signature is as good as mine in
this firm"
But you know wouldn't do it with
out your consent" replied Wallace re-
proachfully. "Oh, Harry" cried the
boy. When yon needed the amount

Thorpe smiled.
You know you can have it II It's to

on that account. l was merely trying
to figure out where we can raise such

sured Wallace eagerly. IF can save

II knew you'd help me out. Now It's

lieved air.
Thorpe shook his head. He was al
ready trying to figure how to increase
his cut to 100000 feet.

neadwaters of the Ossawinamakee.
During the four years in which the
Morrison s. Daily company shared the
stream with Thorpe the two firms
lived in complete amity and under
standing. Northrop had played his
cards skillfully. The older capitalists
had withdrawn suit Afterward they
kept scrupulously within their rights
and saw to it that no more careless
openings were left for Thorpes
shrewdness
And as the younger man on his side
never attempted to overstep his own
rights the interests of the rival firms
rarely FLASHED. As TO the few disputes
that did arise Thorpe found Mr.. DAILY
singularly anxious to please. In the
desire was 10 frieudiiness, however
Thorpe was watchfnl for treachery
and could hardly believe the affair
finished when at the end Of the fourth
year the NJ. & D. transferred it's OPP
erations to another stream few miles
east.
They're altogether too COMPOUNDED

brow uneasily. Il don't like it. 1t
isn't natural"
Thorpe's Camp One was celebrated
in three states Thorpe had set out to
gather around him band of good
woodsmen. Except on pinch he
would employ no others.
Il don't care If | get in only 1000
feet this winter, and if q boy does
that" he answered Shearers expostu
lations. Its got to be good boy"
The result of his policy began to show
even in the second year. Men were a
little proud to say that they had put in
a winter at ''Thorpes One" Those who
had worked there during the first year
were Loyalty enthusiastic. As they were
authorities others perforce had to nc
cept the dictum. There grew desire
among the better class to see what
"Thorpe's One" might be like In the
autumn Harry had more applicants
than he knew what to do with. Eight
cen Of the old men returned. He took
them all. but when it came to distribu-
ton three found themselves assigned
to one or the other Of the new camps.
And quietly the rumor gained that
these three had shown the least willing
spirit during the previous winter.
Tim Shearer was foreman of Camp
One. Scotty Parsons was drafted from
the veterans to take charge Of Two,
Thorpe engaged two men known to
Tim to boss Three and Four, but in Sc
lecting the push" for Five he sought
out John Railway and induced him to
accept the commission.
You can do 1t, John" said he, "and
know 1t. want you to try, and II you
don't make her go I'll call it nobody's
fault but my own"
The result proved his sagacity. Rad
way was one Of the best foremen in the
outfit. He got more out OF his men, he
rose better to emergencies. and he ac-
more with the same re-
sources than any Of the others except
Ing Tim Shearer. AS long as the work |
was done for some one else he was ca
pable and efficient. Only when he was
called upon to demand on his own ac- |
count did the paralyzing shyness affect I
him.
