can do it. I'd be only too glad to get
rid Of the nuisance Of 1t. let alone get

your contract and bring it in here, III

rollways"
mo" said Orde I'VE 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?"
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
afloat in the river"
81 see" said Newmark. "Well. but
why shouldn't we undertake that part
of itY'
at 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.
Orde separated from Newmark to
spend the rest Of the morning with
Heinzman, very rotund. cautious per-
son of German extraction and accent

questions of all sorts about the new
enterprise. AT l. he had not i'm any

together. after which Orde succeeded
in getting two more promises of con-

"and ve like your scheme. II you can

"I'll guarantee. to get them here all

But what is your guarantee good

"Seventy-hve thousand dollars"

Orde's mind was struck chaotic by
the request.
How much OF bond;" he asked
'Twenty-tife thousand would satisfy

Orde hunted up Newmark.
"Heinzman has SENSE" said New
