place. Other men laid heavy planks
side by side perpendicular to and on
the upstream side of the horses. The
weight of the water clamped them in
place Big rocks and gravel shoveled
on in quantity prevented the lower
ends from rising. The wide slant of
the legs directed the pressure so far
downward that the horses were pre-
vented from floating away, and slowly
the bulk of the water, thus raised a
good three feet above its former level
turned aside into the new channel and
poured out to inundate the black ash
swamp beyond.
A good volume still poured down to
the fall, but 1t was so far reduced that
work became possible
Now, boys!' cried Orde. Lively
while we've got the CHANGER
The twenty-six foot logs were placed
side by side, slanting from a point two
feet below the rim of the fall to the
ledge below. They were bolted to-
gether top and bottom through the
four holes bored for that purpose. The
task finished, they pried the flash
piled them neatly beyond reach of
high water. rescued the sawhorses and
piled them also for a possible future
use and blocked the temporary chan
mel. The river, restored to its imme-
mortal channel by these men who had
so nonchalantly turned it aside, roared
on. Or1e and his crew tramped back
to the falls and gazed on their handi-
work with satisfaction. Instead of
plunging over an edge into a turmoil
of foam and eddies, now the water
flowed smoothly, almost without a
break, over an incline of thirty de-
grees.
Logs IL slip over that slick as a
gun barrel" said Tom North.
, Quite cheerfully they took up their
long. painstaking journey back down
the river.
The trail led the crew through many
minor labors, all of which consumed
time. At Reeds mill Orie entered into
diplomatic negotiations with old man
Reed, whom he found singularly
amenable. The skirmish in the spring
seemed to have taken all the fight out
Of him. or perhaps, more simply, Orde's
attitude toward him at that time had
won him over TO the young mans side.
Orde's crew built new sluiceway
and gate far enough down to assure a
good head in the pond above.
In September the crew had worked
down as far as Redding. leaving be-

uses. Remained still the forty miles

After the company had gone Orde
stood long by the front gate looking
up into the infinite spaces. Somehow,
and vaguely. he felt the night to be
akin TO her elusive spirit Farther and
arther his soul penetrated into its
depths. and yet other depths lay be-
yond, other mysteries, other unguesSed
realms. And yet its beauty was the
simplicity of space and dark and the
stars.
The next time he saw her was at
the house of the friend she visited.
Orde was lucky enough to find the
girls home and alone. Jane made an
excuse and went out They talked
with considerable approach toward
intimacy Not until nearly time to go
did Orde stumble upon the vital point
of the evening. He had said some
thing about a plan for the week fol-
lowing.

She began gently to laugh, quite to
herself, as though enjoying a joke en-
tirely within her own personal privi-

She sank into chair near by with
pretty uplifred gesture OF despair. !

she laughed until the tears started
from her eyes. ooh, you are. deli |

full glistening sand hill. Orde seated
himself on the smooth, clean sand and
removed his hat. He saw these things
and in imagination the far upper
stretches of the river, with the mills
and yards and booms extelGng for
miles, and still above them the marshes
and the fats where the river widened
below the Big Bend. That would be
the location for the booms of the new

"Your crowd-the Smiths. Collinses,

early hour after supper. Orde stepped
into the hall TO help them with their

Yes" replied Orde. 'Srhe lumber
jacks say that the woods are the poor

Orde followed her in silence She
seemed to be quite without RESPONSE
bility in regard to him, and yet an &C.
casional random remark thrown in his
direction proved that he was not for
gotten. Finally they emerged from
the beech woods.
She turned and waved her hat at the
beech woods falling somber against
the lowering sun.
'Goodby," she said gravely, land

she.
They made their way TO the edge of
the sand hill. The low slanting sun
cast across the vista a sleepy light OF
evening.

Orde.

He stayed overnight with his par

to meet Newmark
Hello, joe" greeted Orde. his teeth
flashing In contrast to the tan of his
face. I'm done. Anything new since
you wrote last?"
Newmark had acquired his articles
of incorporation and sold his stock.
Perhaps his task had in it as much of
difficulty as Orde's tanning Of the river.
Certainly he carried it to as successful
a conclusion. The bulk of the stock
he sold to log owners. Some blocks
even went to Chicago. His own little
fortune Of twenty thousand he paid in
for the shares that represented his half
Of the majority retained by himself
and Orde. The latter gave a note at
10 per cent for his proportion of the
stock. Newmark then borrowed if

a mortgage on the company's newly

After some discussion the partners de

''The only point that is at all risky
to me-" said Newmark, 'is that we
have only one season contracts. If for
any reason we hang up the drive or
fail to deliver promptly we're going
to get left the year following, and then
it's b-u-s-t-bust.'

Orde looked out over the raw little
village with new interest.
Her whole aspect seemed to have
changed with the descent into the con-
ventionality Of the village street. The
old. gentle. though self contained re-
serve had returned.

They said little more until the Ben

clined to go in.

You did not once act as though you
thought l was silly or crazy. And you
didn't try as all the rest OF them

quaint and quiZzical smiles. But men
aren't built for foolishness. They have
to leave that to US. You've been very
nice this afternoon. and it's helped

Orde, however, walked back to the
hotel in a black rage with himself over
what he termed his imbecility. AS he
remembered it he had made just one
consecutive speech that afternoon.

"Incubi," answered Newmark.

quite gravely they commenced to scoop

what is the Interior motive from their

Stripped of technicalities, good

reciprocity is based on an excuse for

is, the standpatters are willing to have
maximum and minimum tariff, TO be

call the minimum"
Most modern countries have adopt
ed the maximum and minimum tariff
for reciprocity purposes. We may
even admit that tariff retaliation is a
well-establshcd custom, and brings
substantial results. But the countries
that employ this dual tariff scale most
effectively, especially in Europe, are
those that model their minimum"

home consumers.

American consumers. The victims OF
