THE first season of the Boom
company was most successful.
Its prospects for the future
were bright. The drive had
been delivered to it's various owners
at price below what it had cost them
severally and without the necessary
attendant bother Therefore the log
gers were only too willing to renew
their contracts for another year. This
did not satisfy Newmark, however.
"What we want" he told Orde, sis a
charter giving US exclusive rights on
the river and authorizing us to ask
toll. I'm going to try and get one out
of the legislature"
He departed for Lansing as soon as
the assembly opened and almost i'm.

For second time the chains were
snapped. The severed ends of the
booms swung back toward either shore.
Between them floated a rowboat. In
the rowboat gesticulated pudgy man.
The river was well sprinkled with logs.
Evidently the sorting was going on
well.

A stableman picked his way out over
the booms with u message for Orde.
"Mr. Heinzman's ashore and wants
to see you,' said he.
Orde found the mill man pacing rest
lessly up and down before a steaming
pair of horses. Newmark, perched on
stump, was surveying him sardonic-
ally.
Here you poth arew burst out
Heinzman. II must not lose my logsl
Vat is your probosition?'
Newmark broke in quickly.
1--WE told Mr.. Heinzman," said he,
shat we would sort and deliver the
rest Of his logs for So thousand
'That will be about it," agreed Orde
"But," exploded Heinzman, ''that is
rs much as you agreet to drive and
deliffer my whole cut!"
Precisely" said Newmark.
"Put hat all the eggspence Of driv-
ing the logs myself, Why shout pay
you for doing what hat alretty paid
to hat done?'
Orde chuckled.
"Heinzman,' said he, 1--WE aren't
forced to bother with your logs, and
you're lucky to get out so easy. If Il
turn your whole drive into the river
you'll lose more than half of it out
right, and it'll cost you a heap to
salvage the rest. And, what's more,
Ill turn 'em in before you can get
hold Of a pile driver. I'll sort night

row morning you won't have stick
Of timber above my booms." He
laughed again. "You want to get
down to business almighty sudden
When finally Heinzman had driven
sadly away and the whole drive, III"
logs included, was pouring into the
main boom Orde stretched his arms
over his head in luxury of satisfac-
ton.
"That just about settles that cam.
paign," he said to Newlnark
ooh, no, it doesn'tn' replied the lat
ter decidedly.
"Why?" asked Orde, surprised. you
don't imagine he'll do anything moreY
mo, but WILL" said Newmark.
Early in the fall the baby was born.
| 1t proved to be a boy. Orde, nervous
as cat after the ordeal of doing
nothing, tiptoed into the darkened
room. He found his wife weak and
pale, her dark hair framing her face,
new look Of rapt inner contempla-
ton rendering even more mysterious
her always fathomless eyes. She held
her lips to him. He kissed them.
Grandma Orde brought the new
conner in for Orde's inspection. He
looked gravely down on the puckered,
discolored bit of humanity with a
faint uneasiness.
| "Is-do you think-that is"-- He
hesitated. Does the doctor say he's
going to be all right?"
Cali rightw cried Grandma Orde in
dignantly. I'D like to know If he isn't
all right now! What in the world do
you expect Of newborn baby?"
But Carroll was laughing softly to
herself on the bed. She held out her
arms for the baby and cuddled 1t close
to her breast.
"He's little darling" she crooned,
"and he's going to grow up big and
strong, just like his daddy" She put
her cheek against the sleeping babes
and looked up sidewise at the two
I standing above her. "Rut know how
| you feel" she said to her husband.

thought he looked like a peanut a

mediately became lost in one of those
fierce struggles Of politics not less bit
ter because concealed. Heinzman was
already on the ground. Newmark had
the shadow Of right on his side, for he
applied for the charter on the basis Of
the river improvements already put in
by his firm. Heinzman wanted the
improvements already existing con-
demned and sold as public utility to
the highest bidder. He offered further
guarantees as to future improvements.
In addition were other and more po-
tent arguments proffered behind closed
doors. Many cases resolved themselves
into bald question Of cash. Others
demanded diplomacy. Jobs, fat con-
tracts, business favors, influence, were
all flung out freely, bri.es as absolute
