T%HE time was the year 1872
n and the place bend in the
river above a long pond. ter
mlnating in a dam. Beyond
this dam and on a fiat lower than it
stood two story mill structure. A
crew of lumbermen lounged about two
a1res at the upper end of the pond
idle because Of the strong adverse
wind and the unexpected weakness of
the current, which had arrested the
progress Of their thousands Of logs.
Suddenly a solitary figure appeared
around river bend. His progress was
serky and on an uneven zigzag, accord
ing as the logs lay, by leaps. short
runs, brief pauses, as riverman goes.
Finally he stepped ashore just below
the camp, stamped his feet vigorously
free Of water and approached the
group around the cooking fire.
+ The newcomer was a man some
where about thirty years of age,
squarely built, big Of bone, compact in
bulk. His face was burly, jolly and
Redeemed rather than tanned by long
exposure. A pair Of twinkling blue
eyes and a humorously quirked mouth
redeemed his countenance from COM
monplaceness. "Wel, boys" he re-
marked at last in a rollicking big
voice, '1'm glad to see the situation
hasn't spoiled your appetites.''
j Tom North, in charge of the lumber
men, rose. He and the newcomer, who

Tom North. "Old DAILY will be red

at the mill, and expect Johnson's
drive will be down on our rear most
any time"
sIt's there already. Let's go take a
look" suggested Orde.
They picked their way around the
edge Of the pond to the site Of the
new mill.
"Sluice open all right" commented
Orde.
Orde walked out on the structure
and looked down on the smooth water
rushing through.

@THE next morning dawned clear
and GREATNESS. AS soon as the
u wind died the logs had begun
to drift slowly out into the open
water. The surface of the pond was
covered with the scattered timbers
floating idly. After a few moments
the clank Of the bars and ratchet was
heard as two Of the men raised the
heavy sluice gate on the dam. ST.
-Four more had by this time Joined
the two men who had raised the gate,
and all together, armed with long pike
poles, walked out on the funnel shaped
booms that should concentrate the logs
into the chute. Here they prodded
forward the few timbers within reach
and waited patiently for more.
Jack Orde wandered back and forth
over the work, his hands clasped be-
hind his back, short pipe clinched
between his teeth. To the edge of the
drive he rode the logs, then took to the
bank and strolled down to the dam
Meeting Tom North's troubled glance,
he grinned broadly.

up river toward rapidly approaching
figure.
