"Surew

handing him paper. land bring it in

Orde glanced over the slip. 1t re-
cited two and quarter as the agreed
price; specified the date Of delivery at
HeinZman and Proctors booms; named
$4,000 as the amount of the bond, to
be secured by $4,000 worth of stock
in the new company. This looked sat

"By the vay"-the little German
beamed up at him, swinging his fat
legs as the Office chair tipped back

/ "Yes," agreed Orde.
How much will you capitalize for?"
"A hundred thousand" replied Orde.
"Vell." said Heinzman, wen you put
it on the market come and see me-"
That evening. well after 6. Orde re-
turned to Newmark to take dinner.
"Well. I've got 'em ALL" said Orde
as soon as the waitress had gone with
the order. But the best stroke Of
business you'd never guess. l roped

"Yes," pondered Newmark. what

that mean exactly%'
"Why," explained Orde. with slight

why shouldn't we undertake that part
of it,"
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.
HeinZman 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

together. after which Orde succeeded
in getting two more promises of con-
tracts and two more deferred inter.

The following morning also he was
much encouraged by the reception Of
his plan.

he. land three more practically a sure

"I'll guarantee to get them here all

But what is your guarantee good
for?" persisted Heinzman blandly.
Suppose the logs are not deliffered-
what then? How responsible are you
financially?"
"Seventy-five thousand dollars"

Heinzman. "that would be satisfac.

Ordes mind was struck chaotic by
the request.
How much of bond?" he asked.
"Twenty-fife thousand would satisfy

Orde hunted up Newmark.
"HeinZman has sense" said New
mark dryly after hearing Orde's story.

Orde had released himself from

working out schedule Of tolls.
Orde drew on his intimate knowledge
of the river and the locations of the
railways to estimate closely the time
it would take to drive them.
At last Newmark expressed himself
as satisfied.
"Now, Orde," said he, "here is where

They found the little German await
ing them. Newmark Immediately took
charge of the interview.
Il have executed here the contract
and the bonds secured by Mr.. Orde's
and my shares of stock in the new
company" he explained.
Heinzman reached his hands for the
papers, beaming over his glasses att
the two young men. AS he read, howl
ever, his smile vanished.
"Vat is this?" he inquired. crispness
in his voice. "You tolt me-" he ac-
cused Orde, "dot you were not bre-
pared to break out the rollways. You
tolt me you would egspect me to do
that for myself. Well. why do you
put in this?" reading from the paper
in his hand:
I'm case said rollways belonging to said
parties of the second part are not broken
out by the time the drive has reached
| them, and in case on demand said par
ties of the second part do refuse or do
not exercise due diligence in breaking out
said rollways, the said parties Of the first
part shall themselves break out said roll
ways, and the said parties Of the second
part do hereby agree to reimburse said
parties of the first part at the rate Of
dollar per thousand board feet"
THAT is merely to protect ourselves"
struck in Newmark.
But" exploded Heinzman, his face
purpling, "a dollar a tousand Is alb
surd!"
"Of course" agreed Newmark. 1--WE
expect it to be. 1t is intended as a
penalty in case you don't break out
your own rollways in time"
Il will not stand for such foolish
ness" pounded Heinzman.
VERY well,". said Newmark crisply,
reaching for the contract.
But Heinzman chung to it.
ut is absurd" he repeated in a mild
er tone. See, will strike it out" He
did 50 with few dashes Of the pen.
1--WE have no intention" stated New
mark. with decision, "of giving you
the chance to hang up our drive"
Heinzman caught his breath.
$50 that is what you thinkw he
shouted. He tore the contract in pieces
and threw it in the wastebasket. "Get
oudt of here.' he cried.
Orde's hands twitched nervously.
You to refuse our offerw
"Refuse. Yes-you and your whole
capoodle!' yelled Heinzman.
Once in the open street Orde drew a
deep breath of relief.
"Whew!" said he. "That was ter
ror! We've gone off the wrong foot
that time
Newmark was amused.

you" he marveled.

The place isn't of so much Importance,
1t seems to me. It's the life one is
called to. It's whether one finds her
souls realm or not that place is Iva
BILE or not"
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.
Il came down with Jane and Mrs.
Hubbard to see Mr.. Hubbard off on
the boat for Milwaukee last night"
she told him. "Of course we had to
wait over Sunday. Mrs. Hubbard and
Jane had to see some relative or other,
but preferred to take walk"
Where are you staying?" asked
Orde.
'At the BENEFITS"
They said little more until the Ben
netts' gate was reached. Orde de-
clined to so in.
81 want to thank you" she said.
Aou uil uol OuCe ACT us though you
thought l was silly or crazy. And you
didn't try, as all the rest of them
would, to act silly too. You couldn't

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 a
lot. Good night"
Orde, however, walked back to the,
hotel in black rage with himself over
what he termed his imbecility. As he|
remembered it he had made just onel
consecutive speech that afternoon.
"Joe," said he to Newmark, what's
the plural form Of Incubus? Isn't it,
'busses""
"Incubi," answered Newmark.
'"Thanks," said Orde gloomily.

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 extending for
miles, and still above them the marshes
and the flats where the river widened
below the Big Bend. That would be
the location for the booms Of the new
company-a cheap property on which
the partners had already secured

the long Michigan coast. with hills

A fresh breeze darkened the blue

Orde at last the refreshment Of the
wide spaces. A woman. walking slow

himself admiring the grace Of her deft
and sudden movements and the sway
Of her willowy figure.

rollways?"
NO" said Orde. 1--WE hadn't thought
of doing more than the driving and
distributing. You'll have to deliver

Orde laughed and seated himself to
face her. Without further talk and
quite gravely they commenced to scoop
out an excavation between them, pill

either side as was most convenient.
AS the hole grew deeper they had to
lean over more and more. Their heads

direction proved that he was not for

the beech woods.
