bench of Mrs. Hathaway's
boarding house. commented on the
band as II stumbled into the wash
room. Their conversation was inter
rupted by the approach of Thorpe and
Big Junko. The former looked twenty
years older after his winter. His eye
was dull, his shoulders dropped, his
gait was inelastic. The whole bearing
of the man was that of one weary to
the bone.
"Ive got something here to show
you, Harry cried Wallace Carpenter
waving a newspaper. 1T was great
drive, and here's something to remem-
Der it by"
"All right, Wallace. by and by re-

sleep more than anything else"
He passed through the little passage
into the ''parlOr bedroom" which Mrs.
Hathaway always kept in readiness
for members Of the firm. There he fell
heavily asleep almost before his body
had met the bed.
In the long dining room the river
men consumed belated dinner. They
had no comments to make. 1t was
over.
The two on the veranda smoked To
the right, mt the end of the sawdust
street. the mill sang its varying and
| lulling keys. The odOr OF fresh sawed
pine perfumed the air. Not hundred
yards away the river slipped silently
to the distant blue Superior, escaping
between the slanting stone filed cribs
which held back the logs. Down the
south and west the huge thunder heads
gathered and flashed and grumbled, as
they had done every afternoon for
days.
Queer thing" commented Hamilton
finally, "these cold streaks IN the air.
They are just as distinct as though
they had partitions around them"
Queer climate anyway" agreed Car
penter
Excepting always for the mill, the
| little settlement appeared asleep. The
main booms were quite deserted. Aft
er awhile Hamilton noticed something.
Look here, Carpenter said he.
"What's happening out there? Have
some of your cOnfounded logs sunk, or
what? There don't seem to be near so
many of them somehow"
'No; 1t isn't that" proffered Carpen.

Nonsense! We haven't had any

''She's rising just the same. You see

sharply.
II amt quittln." replied Big Junko.
"Where are you going. then"
Junko was partially and stammering
ly unresponsive.
Looks bad commented Thorpe.
You'd better get back to your job
Yes" agreed Junko helplessly. In
the momentary slack tide of work the
giant had conceived the idea of search
ing out the driver crew for purposes of
pugilistic vengeance. Thorpe's suspi-
cions stung him. but his simple mind
could see no direct way to explanation.
All night long In the chill of a spring
rain and wind storm the Fighting Forty

selves to the labor OF connecting the
,lanting stone cribs so strongly by
means of heavy timbers chained end to

jam might not sweep aside the de-
fenses. Wallace Carpenter. Shorty. the
chore boy. and Anderson, the barn boss
picked dangerous passage back and
forth carrying pals Of rcdhot coffee
which Mrs. Hathaway constantly pre-
pared. The cold water numbed the
mems hands. With difficulty could
they manipulate the heavy chains
twisted knots. bored holes. They did
not complain. Behind them the jam
quivered perilously near the bursting
point. From IL shrieked aloud the de-
mons of pressure. Steadily the river
rose an inch an hour. The key might
snap at any given moment. they could
not tell, and with the rush they knew
very well that themselves. the tug and
the disabled pile driver would be swept
.
from existence. The worst of it was
that the blackness shrouded their ex-
perience into uselessness. They were
utterly unable TO tell by the ordinary
visual symptoms how near the jam
might be to collapse.
However, they persisted, as the old
time river man always does, so that
when dawn appeared the barrier was
continuous and assured Although the
pressure Of the river had already forced
the logs against the defenses. the latter
held the strain well.
The storm had settled into its gait.
Overhead the sky was filed with gray.
beneath which darker scuds few across
the zenith before bowling southwest
wind. Out in the clear river one could
hardly stand upright against the gusts.
In the fan Of many directions furious
squalls swept over the open water be-
low the booms, and an eager boiling
current rushed to the lake..
Thorpe now gave orders that the tug
and driver should take shelter. A few
moments later he expressed himself al
satisfied. The dripping crew, their
harsh faces gray In the half light,
picked their way to the shore. sN

Dayton's, is attracting much atten-
ton to-day. 1t is. novelty in the
window decorating art, and is well
worth visit on the part Of any one
interested in 'curios" that were
practical household articles In the
days of the forefathers. There is. a
huge American flag in the back
picture in the center, Of the man
who was first in war, first in peace
and first in the hearts of his coun-

In the collection are many articles
that saw service in revolutionary
times, one In particular, a big flint
lock" musket that was used In bat
tie against the Britishers. There are
several 1ndrawn rugs, one Of them
made by Mrs. Raby at Warner, N. H.
This rug was secured from the home
where Governor John 8. Pillsbury was
born. Then there is warming pan
of beautifully wrought brass, with a
long handle attached, y that has
warmed up many a cold sheet a. hun

spinning wheel, with the flax attached,
that was owned by Rhoda Everett,
grandmother Of Mrs. Huntoon, an
employee of the Dayton company.
Among other interesting pieces are
| several short brass candlesticks more
than century old, and used in later
days as pig scrapers'' by some
thrifty New England farmers; two
colonial mirrors that are, at least, 1926
years old; a pair Of rugged little
boots that were worn by a Yankee
boy, and a chain whitfield out Of wood
by the same boy.

BARTENDER ACQUITTED
Jury Accepted Defense as to Effort!
to Collect Debt.

Louis Bartender, indicted with Abe
Fisher and Joseph Moore for the al
legged robbery Of Morris Simon, was
acquitted last night. The defendant is
now a free man. He was confined in
the county Jail several weeks because
he could not get $4,000 bail. Gar
tenders defense was that Simon owed
him 81 and that he. and his friends
were simply trying to collect the debt,
tho in a rather forceful manner.
