Thorpe's intelligence leaped promptly
to the practical question.
''Injun Charley - where'd he come
from? l sent him up to Sadler tS
Smiths. It's twenty miles. even
through the woods"
As though by way of colossal answer
the whole surface Of the jam moved
inward and upward, thrusting the logs
bristling against the horizon.
''She's going to breakw shouted
Thorpe, starting on run toward the
river. "a chain, quickw
The men followed, strung high with
excitement. Hamilton, the Journalist,
paused long enough to glance up

screaming that the river above was full
Of logs. BY that they all knew that
Injun Charley's mission had failed and
that something under 100000 feet of
logs were racing down the river like so
many battering rams.
At the boom the great jam was al
ready a-tremble with eagerness to
spring. Indeed a miracle alone seemed
to hold the t.nbers in their place.
"It's death, certain death, to go out
on that BOOM" muttered Billy Mason.
Tim Shearer stepped forward coolly,
ready as always to assume the perilous
duty. He was thrust back by Thorpe,
who seized the chain, cold-shut and
hammer which Scotty Parsons brought
and ran lightly out over the booms,
shouting:

weakened link and prepared to close it
with his hammer. He intended further
to strengthen the connection with the
other chain.
"Lemme hold her for you. You can't
close her alone" said an unexpected
voice next his elbow.
Thorpe looked up in surprise and an
ger. Over him leaned Big JunlSo. The
men had been unable to prevent his
following. Animated by the blind de-
votion of the animal for its master and
further stung to action by that mas

he was standing near the outermost

he stepped quietly to the boom log.

Like a fash, Wallace wheeled and
dropped into the river, swimming as
fast as possible below water before
his breath should give ont. The swift
current tuvied him away. When at
hast he rose for air the spit OF Dyer's
pistol caused him no uneasiness. A
moment later he struck out boldly for
shore
What Dyer's ultimate plan might be
he could not guess. He had stated con-
fidently that the jam would break Gin

breathlessly to run toward the board

Dyer had already reached shore.
Wallace raised what was left Of his
voice in a despairlng shout. The scaler
mockingly waved his hat, then turned
and ran swiftly and easily toward the
shelter of the woods. At their border
he paused again to bow in derision.
Carpenters cry brought men to the
boarding house door. From the shad-
ows of the forest two vivid flashes cut
the dusk. Dyer staggered, turned COM
pletely about, seemed partially to re-
cover and disappeared. An instant
later, across the open space where the
scaler had stood, with rifle ATRIAL, the
Indian leaped in pursuit.
