well. jack" said he, 81 believe you
can do 1t. I'd be only too glad to get
rid of the nuisance Of ii. let alone get
it done cheaper. If you'll draw up
your contract and bring it in here, I'll
signsit. suppose you'll break out the
rollways?"
No. said Orde. 1--WE hadn't thought
of doing more than the driving and
distributing. You'll have to deliver
the logs in the river. Maybe another
year. after we get better organized,
We'll be able to break rollways"
THAT was smooth enough sailing"
exulted Orde to Newmark.
"Yes," pondered Newmark "What
was that about rollways? What does
that mean exactly? 2"
why explained Orde. with slight
stare of surprise. when the logs are
cut and hauled during the winter they
are banked on the river banks and
even in the river channel itself. Then.
when the thaws come in the spring,
these piles are broken down and set
afoat in the river"
II see." said Newmark. "Well. but
why shouldn't we undertake that part
sof it?"
lit would hold back our drive too
much to stop and break rollways.''
The next morning they took the
early train for Monrovia. where were
situated the offices of the nine other
Lumber companies. a8.5p. n

Hefnzman occupied the time in asking
questions of all sorts about the new
enterprise. At IL he had not in any
way committed himself nor expressed
an opinion.
81 will see Proctor" said he.
Orde. rather exhausted, returned to
find Newmark. The two had lunch
together. after which Orde succeeded
In getting two more promises Of con-
tracts and two more deferred inter-
views.
The following morning also he was
much encouraged by the reception of
his plan.
That's four contracts already" said
he. land three more practically q sure
thing. Proctor and Heinzman, are
slower than molasses about everything
and mean as pusley. and Johnson's up
In the air. the way he always is, for
fear some ones going to do him"
But Heinzman offered new prob
lem for Orde's consideration.
~ hat talked with Proctor" said he.
''and We like your scheme. IL you can
delifter our logs here for 1925. why.
that is better as We can do 1t. but how
do We know you will do it?"
III guarantee to get them here all
right" laughed Orde.
But what is your guarantee good
for?" persisted Heinzman blandly.
Suppose the logs are not deliffered-
what then? How responsible are you
6nancially?"
:.Seventy-five thousand dollars.
s III you will give bond for the per-
formance Of your contract" pursued
Heinzman. that would be satisfac-
tory"
Orde's mind was struck chaotic by
the request.
How much Of a bond:" he asked.
twenty-five thousand would satisfy
u.s." said Heinzman.
Orde hunted up Newmark.
"Hemzman has sense" said New
mark dryly after hearing Orde's story.
II was wondering II ordinary business
caution was unknown out here"
Nobody would go on my bond for
that amount"
Mine either" said Newmark. Wen
Just have to let them go and drive
ahead without them. only hope they
won't spread the idea. Better get
those other contracts signed up as soon
as we can"
Orde started out early the next morn
ing. carrying with him duplicate con-
tracts.
About II o'clock clerk Of the Wei
ton Lumber company entered Mr.. We'll
toms private Office to deliver to Orde a
note.
This just came by special messen-
ger" he explained.
| 1t was from Heinzman and request
ed an immediate interview. Orde de-
layed only long enough to get Mr.. We'll
toms signature. then fastened away.
| Heinzman he found awaiting him.
