f~0OR several days this impression
satisfied him completely. He
jle did not attempt TO nnalyzc IT;
IL he did not even make an effort
to contemplate it, Curiosity, specu'a
ton. longihg-all the more active emo
tions remained in allegiance, while out
wardly for three days Harry Thorpe
occupied himself only with the needs
Of the Fighting Forty nt Camp One.
He was vaguely conscious OF II great
peace within him. great stiffness of
the spirit.
Little by little the condition changed.
The man felt vague STRINGS Of curios-
ity. He speculated aithlessly as to
whether or not the glade. the moon
hight, the girl. had been real or merely
the figments OF Imagination. Almost
Immediately the answer leaped at him
from his heart. Since she was so GER
tainly flesh and blood, whence did she
come? What was she doing there in
the wilderness? His mind pushed the
query aside as unimportant, rushing
eagerly to the essential point. When
could he see her again? His placidity
had gone That morning he made some
vague excuse to Shearer and set out
blindly down the river. And so. with
out thought. without clear intentions
even, he saw her again. IT was near
the "pole trai," which was less like a
trail than q rail fence.
When the snows are deep and snow
shoes not the property of every man
who cares to journey, the old fashioned

across which thick Norway logs are
laid about four feet from the ground

summer it resembles nothing so much
as a thick one rail fence Of considera-
BILE height, around which u fringe Of

Thorpe reached the fringe OF bushes
| and was about to dodge under the
| fence when he saw her. SO he stopped

For the third time the song shivered
across the night: then Thorpe. with a
soft sob, dropped his face in his hands
and looked no more.

tightened their leather belts and stood
ready for command. After much dis
cussion with SEearcr the young man
decided to take out the logs from
"eleven" by driving them down French
creek.
To this end gang was put to clear
ing the creek bed. 1t was tremen-

| Each night the men returned in the
beautiful drcamlike twilight to the
camp. There they sat after eating,
smoking their pipes in the open air.
Much of the time they sang, while Phil,
crouching wolf-likc over his violin.
rasped out an accompaniment of disso-
nances. The mems voices lent them
selves well to the weird minor strains
of the chanteys. These times. when the
men sang and the night wind rose and
died in the hemlock tops. were Thorpe's
worst moments His soul, tired with
the days iron struggle. fell to brooding.
He wanted something, he knew not
what.
The men were singing in mighty
chorus. Swaying their heads in unison
and bringing out with a roar the en-
phatic words of the crude dittics writ
ten by some genius from their own
ranks
Come all We sons of freedom throughout
old Michigan.
| Come all ye gallant lumbermen, list to q

That was what he was here for.
Things were going right. 1t would be
pitiful to fail merely on account of this
idiotic lassitude, this unmanly weak
ness. this boyish impatience and desire
for play. He woodsman! He fellow

A single voice, clear and high, struck

|fIIE moment had struck for the
woman. Thorpe did not know
it. but it was true. a solitary.
brooding life in the midst Of
grand surroundings; an active, siren
uous life among great responsibilities;
n starved, hungry life of the affections
whence even the sister had withdrawn
her love-all these had worked un-
obtrusively toward the formation of a
single psychological condition. Such Il
moment comes to every man. Then are
happiness and misery beside which the
mere struggle to dominate men be-
comes trivial. the petty striving with
the forces Of nature little thing. and
the woman he at that time meets Is
more than Il woman; she Is the best OF
that man made visible.
Thorpe found himself for the first
time filed with the spirit of restless
ness. His customary iron evenness of
temper was gone. so that he wandered
quickly from one detail of his work to
another without seeming to penetrate
below the surface need of any one task.
But a week before he had felt himself
absorbed in the component parts of his
enterprise. Now he was outside of it.
Thorpe took this state of mind much to
heart and combated 1t. Invariably he
held himself to his task. BY an effort,
a tremendous effort. he succeeded in
doing so. The effort left him limp. He
found himself often standing or mov-
ing gently. his eyes staring slghtess,
his will chained so softly and yet so
firmly that he felt no strength and
hardly the desire to break from the
dream that lulled him. Then he was
conscious OF the physical warmth o.
the sun, the faint sweet wood smells.
the soothing cares of the breeze, the
sleepy cicada-like note Of the pine
creeper. He wanted nothing SO much
as to sit on the pine needles there in
the golden flood Of radiance and dream
- dream on - vaguely. comfortably,
sweetly.
Lord, Lord" he cried impatiently.
"Whats coming TO me? must be lit'
tie off my feed!'
And he hurried rapidly to his duties.
After an hour of the hardest concentra-
ton he had ever been required to be-
stow on a trivial subject he again I'M
consciously sank by degrees into the
old apathy.
"Glad it isn't the busy season! he
commented to himself Here. | must

III get down to the mill for a day or
two"
There he found himself incapable Of
even the most petty routine work. He
sat at his desk at o'clock and began
the perusal of a sheaf of letters. The
first three he read carefully, the follow
ing two rather hurriedly. of the next
one he seized only the salient and es-
sential points, the seventh and eighth
he skinned. the remainder of the bun
Ole he thrust aside in uncontrollable
impatience. Next day he returned to
the woods.
The. tsncident of the letters had
aroused to the full his old fighting spir-
a. before which no mere instincts
could stand,
Once more his mental process became
clear and incisive, his commands direct
and to the point. To all outward APP
pearance Thorpe was as before:

Nor in the Richards and Comstock case
did l receive any such instruction.
The court, In announcing his sentence,
took occasion to state that in his judg-
ment the object and purpose of the act
against the fencing of public lands was to
compel the removal of fences and not to
punish the offenders; that no moral tur-
pitude attached to the offense; that 1t was
fact that counsel for Richards and Com
stock had stated they had already re-
moved some of their fences and would take
them all down; that In his judgment the
end which the government sought to
achieve in the prosecution had been OBJ
tanned; that IL was not a case calling for
a severe sentenees that the imprisonment
would be nominal and he only asked the
views of counsel upon the question as to
