"Who is she?" he asked abruptly.
"She used TO wash at Camp Four"
Thorpe dimly remembered the wom-
an now-an overweighted creature with
certain attraction OF el6shly blowing
hair, with certain pleasing, full
checked, full bosomed health.
The two walked on In re-estnblished
silence. Finally the giant, unable to
contain himself longer, broke out again.
Il do like that woman" said he with
quantity deliberate seriousness
That's the finest woman in this dis
trict"
Thorpe felt the quick moisture rush
TO his eyes. There was something In
expressibly touching In those simple
words as Big Junko uttered them.

Thorpe looked at his companion FIX

Here IL was again-the opposing
creed. And from such a sourcel
Thorpe's iron will contracted again.
"A woman liz no excuse for mans
neglecting his work." he snapped.
"Shorely not" agreed Junko serene

Hamilton's papers began to tell OF
washouts and cloudbursts in the south
and west The men wished they had
some OF that water here.
So finally the drive approached it's
end and all concerned began in antici-
patton to taste the WEAKNESS that
awaited them. The few remaining
tasks still confronting them all at once
seemed more formidable than what
they had accomplished. The work for
the first time became logged distaste-
full. Even Thorpe was infected. He,
too, wanted more than anything else
TO drop on the bed I'm Mrs. Hathaway's
boarding house. There remained but
n few things TO do. A mile OF sacking
would carry the drive beyond the in
fluence OF freshet water. After that
there would be no hurry.

he suddenly felt great rush OF affec-

IL was noon. The sackers looked up
in surprise. Behind them, 10 their very
feet, rushed the soft smooth slope OF
Hemlock rapids. Below them flowed
broad, peaceful river. The drive had
passed its last obstruction. To all in
tents and purposes II was over.
Calmly, with matter OF fact direct

men consumed belated dinner They
had no comments 10 make. II was

The two on the versnda smoked. To

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 grumblcd, as
they had done every afternoon for
days.

Excepting always for the mill. the

Impossibilitles were pulled aside like

After the camp had fallen asleep he
would often lie awake half OF the few
hours OF their night every muscle

saw definitely every detail Of the sit
