That was smooth enough sailing, exulted Onle to Newmark.
 "Ycs," pCndercd Newmark. 'Wha was that akout rollwayS2 What doe that mean eMactly%"
 Why" explained Orde, with ;asligh stare of surpsise, when the los,s ar' csIt and hauleS during the winter the! ate banked oN the river 6auks Ant evsn in the river channel itself! Tken when the thaws come in tSe sprKg these piles are broken down and Sc alloat in the river"
 "I see" said Newmark. "Wail. hW why sbouldn't we undertake that par of it:"
 Tt would hold back our drive toC much toGtop and break rollways,"
 The nest morning they took tbf early traiB for MonroEiS. where were situated the offices of the nine other lumber companies.
 0Tde separated from Newmark to spend the resi of the mOrRing with Heihzman, a veTy rotund. cautious per. son Of German extraction and accent HeinZman occupied the time in ssking questions of all scyts about the new enterprise. At 12 ke had not in any way committed himself nor expressed an opinion.
 'I 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, "and three more practically q sure thing. Proctor and Heinzman are slower than molasses about everything and mean as pus!ey. and Johnson's up in the air. the way he always is. for fear some ones going to do him"
 But Heinzman offered a new prob lem for Orde's consideration.
 ''I haf talked with Proctor" said he. "and ve like your scheme. If you can deliffer our logs here for S2.25. why, that is better as ve can do it. but how do ve know you will do it?'
 "lll guarantee to get them here all right" laughed Orde. "But what is your guarantee good fOr?" persisted Heinzman blaudly. Suppose the logs are not deliffered-- what then? How responsible are you fnancially?"
 'Seventy-fve thousand dollars"
 If you will give bond for tho per. formance of your contract" pursued pcn,.-nan. that you'd be satisfpc, tory"
 Orde's mind was struck chaotic by the request.
 How much of bond?" he asked. Twenty fife thousand would satisfy us," said Heinzman.
 Or,!!2 hunted up Newmark.
 !neinzman mas sense,d said New. mark dryly after hearing OrdeIs story "I was wondering it ordinary business caution was unknown out here"
 "Nobcdy would go on my bond for that amount"
 "Mine either" said Newmark. "We'l just have to let them go and drive ahead without them. l only hope they won't spread the idea. Better gel those other contracts signed up as soor as we can"
 Orde started out early the next morn ing. carrying with him duplicate con tracts.
 About II o'clock a clerk of the Vel ton Lumber company entered Mir. Wei tons private office to deliver to Orde note.
 This just came by special messen ger" he explained.
 It was from Heinzman and request cd an immediate interview. Orde de layod only long enough to get NIT. Wa tons signature. then hastened away.
 Heinzman he found awaiting him, Il suppose you would not be pre- pared to gif bond"
 Il hardly think SO"
 "Nell suppose ve fix him this way, went on HeinZman, clasping his hand over his rotund stomach and beamini | through his spectacles: Proctor and haf talked it ofer. and ve are agree 1 that the probositlon is | good one i also ve think 1t is yell to help tn young fel!ers along" He laughed s lently in such a manner as to shaE himself all over. We do not wish { be too severe. and yet ve must get ou logs on time. So if you gif us a bon secured with stock in the new con pany that would be satisfactory to us
 Orde's face cleared.
 Do you mean that, Mfr. Heinzmanr
 "Surew
 "Now, call that a mighty good wa outp cried Orde.
 "Make your contract out accordln to these terms, then" said Heinzmal handing him a paper, "and bring 1t Monday"
 Orde glanced over the slip. It r cited two and quarter as the agree price: specified the date of delivery Heinzman and Proctors booms; name S25,OOO as the amount of the bond,
