June 30, at IL.
Dearest--You will never believe what
has happened. can hardly believe 1t
myself.
First. the wedding came off with
great eclat-that's what they call it in
the papers, isn't it?-and Della was a
dream In her little white dress we had
made her. had on my dress you gave
me and looked pretty fair considering.
We had beautiful flowers. and the
twins were magnificent.
You couldn't tell which was which,
as usual. until Dick stood with Della
at the altar, then walked out with her
to the tune of the wedding march. And
that left Tom with me.
We drove, all four of us, to the home
of the bride. and Tom and I concluded
to walk back again through the hedges
and byways listening to the whippoor-
wills and those other birds that fill the
country night with SO much melody.
We were quiet awhile. thinking over
the wedding, for weddings are solemn
things, dearest. They are so uncertain.
You never know whether they are to
blossom into happiness or divorce. But
by and by Tom began to talk.
I had been listening to a bird that
was singing somewhere in the wood.
but at the first few words forgot the
bird and listened to him.
II am not Tom." was what he said.
Il am Dick"
How would you have taken that.

something of jar?

him have Della.

da with my arm around her and she
thought l was you? Well, she shall
think it is you till the end of time. She

Morrison | told you the pine Is not

Tor, them cried Mr.. Morrison, with
evidences of a growing excitement
1--WE intend to manufacture it."
Mr.. Morrisen's tishy eyes nearly pop
ped out of his head. He controlled
himself with an effort.
Mr. Thorpe" said he, "let us try to
be reasonable. Our case stands this
way: We have gone to a great deal Of
expense on tie Ossawinamakee in ex-
pectation Of undertaking very extern
sive operations there. To that end we
have cleared the stream. built three
dams and have laid the foundations of
q harbor and boom. This has been
very expensive. Now, your purchase
includes most of what we had meant to
log. You have. roughly speaking. about
300, 0oo.000 in your holding, in addition
to which there are several millions
scattered near it which would pay no
body but yourself to get in. Our hold
iDgs are farther up stream and COM
prise only about the equal of yours
Three hundred millions are not to
be sneezed att replied Thorpe.
Certainly not" agreed Morrison
suavely. gaining confidence in the
sound of his own voice mot In this
country. But You must remember that
a man goes into the northern peninsula
only because he can get something bet
ter there than here. When the firm of
Morrison & Daily establishes itself now
it must be for the last time. We want
enough timber to do us for the rest of
the time we are in business"
in that case you will have to hunt
up another locality" replied Thorpe
calmly.
NIorrison's eyes flashed, but he re-
tanned his appearance of geniality and
appealed TO Wallace Carpenter.
Then you will retain the advantage
of our dams and improvements? said
he. "Is that fair?'
mo, not on the face of It." admitted
Thorpe. "But you did your work in
navigable stream for private pur-
poses without the consent of the board
of control. Your presence on the river
is Illegal. You should have taken out
charter as an Improvement company.
Then as long us you attended to busi-
ness and kept the concern in repair
we'd have paid you toll per thousand
feet. AS soon as you let it slide, how
ever, the works would revert to the
state. l won't hinder your doing that
yet, although / might. Take out your
charter and fix your rate of toll"
"In other words, you force us to stay
there and run little two by four i'm
provement company for your benefit
or else lose the value of our improve
ments?''
"Suit Yourself" answered Thorpe
carelessly. You can always log your
present holdings"
