TER
no man I knew tried ever to cope
with him. BY the middle of May we
began rolling in for the raft. AS soon
as they were floating, the logs were
withed together and moored in Sec

quaking, redolent plain of timber.
When We started the raft, early in
June, that summer of 1910, and worked
it into the broad river with sweeps

and spend year in the College de St..

on big platform, back of the middle
section of the raft, with hunks In it,
where We ate and slept and told
stories. Lying on the platform there
was large fiat stone that held our
fires for both cooking and comfort.

morning, the first night out, and said

rubbed my eyes, and felt a mighty
thrill as heard the roar Of the great
rapids and the creaking withes, and
felt the lit of the speeding waters.
D'ri said they had broken the raft
into three parts, ours being hindmost.
The roaring grew louder, until my
shout was as whisper in hurricane.
The logs began to heave and fall, and
waves came rushing through them.
Sheets OF spray shot skyward, coming
down like shower. We were shaken
as by an earthquake in the rough wa
ter. Then the roar fell back of us, and
the raft grew steady.

shouting down at me-"kind Nv a twis-

laughing as he spoke. Never see

D'rps sober face showed dimly now
in the dawn His hands were on his
hips; his faded felt hat was tipped
sideways. His boots and trousers
were quarreling over that disputed ter
ritory between his knees and ankles.
His boots had checked the invasion.

thoughtfully. Seems terribly still.

He stepped aside quickly as some
bits OF bark and small bough of hem

of pine needles came slowly down,
scattering over us and hitting the tim

AS the light came clearer, We saw
clouds heaped black and blue over the
tree-tops in the southwest. We stood
q moment looking. The clouds were
heaping higher, pu1sing with light,
roaring with thunder. What seemed to
be a flock Of pigeons rose suddenly
above the far forest, and then fell as
