"Wait until you leave it," said she.
"Then all these things will come back
to YOU TO make your heart ache for

After the company had gone Orde
stood long by the front gate looking
up into the inAnite spaces. Somehow,
and vaguely. he felt the night to be
akin to her elusive spirit. Farther and
farther his soul penetrated into its
depths, and yet other depths lay be-
| yond, other mysteries, other unguessed
realms. And yet its beauty was the
simplicity of space and dark and the
stars.
The next time he saw her was at
the house Of the friend she visited.
Orde was lucky enough to find the
girls home and alone. Jane made an
excuse and went out. They talked
with considerable approach toward
intimacy. Not until nearly time to go
did Orde stumble upon the vital point
Of the evening. He had said some
thing about a plan for the week fol-
lowing.

THEY PRAISE THE POULTRY

A proper appreciation on the part Of

article of merchandise sold by a mer-
chant is always a source of qualification
to him. not only because of the pleasure
there is in knowing that he is able to
furnish what the people want, but be-
cause it ensures large and increasing
trade in that line. The Seaver store at
North Troy. VT, are evidently fortunate
enough to have anticipated the wants
Of the poultry keepers in their vicinity.

down heavily to keep their charges in
place Other men laid heavy planks
side by side perpendicular to and or
the upstream side Of the horses. The
weight of the water clamped them in
place. Big rocks and gravel shoveled
on in quantity prevented the lower
ends from rising. The wide slant of
the legs directed the pressure so far
downward that the horses were pre-
vented from floating away, and slowly

poured out to inundate the black ash
swamp beyond.
A good Volume still poured down to
the fall, but it was so far reduced that
work became possible
Now, boys" cried Orde. Lively
while we've got the CHANGER
The tWenty-six foot logs were placed
side by side, slanting from a point two
feet below the rim of the fall to the
ledge below. They were boted to-
gether top and bottom through the
four holes bored for that purpose. The
task finished, they pried the flash
boards from the improvised dam,
piled them neatly beyond reach of
high water, rescued the sawhorses and
piled them also for a possible future
use and blocked the temporary chan
mel. The river, restored to its imme-
mortal channel by these men who had
so nonchalantly turned it aside. roared
on. Orde and his crew tramped back
to the falls and gazed on their handi-
work with satisfaction. Instead of
plunging over an edge into a turmoil
of foam and eddies, now the water
flowed smoothly. almost without a
break, over an incline of thirty de-
grees.
Logs III slip over that slick as a
gun BARREL" said Tom North.
Quite cheerfully they took I'D their
long, painstaking journey back down
the river.
The trail led the crew through many
minor labors. all of which consumed
time. At Reeds mill Orde entered into
diplomatic negotiations with old man
Reed, whom he found singularly
amenable. The skirmish in the spring
seemed to have taken all the fight out
of him. or perhaps, more simply, Orde's
attitude toward him at that time had
won him over 10 the young mans side.
Orde's crew built a new sluiceway
and gate far enough down to assure
good head in the pond above.
In September the crew had worked
down as far as Redding, leaving be-
hind them a river harnessed for their
uses. Remained still the forty miles
between Redding and the lake. Orde
here paid off his men. A few days
work with n pile driver would fence
the principal shoals from the channel.
He stayed overnight with his par
ents and took the train for Monrovia
to meet Newmark.

In food time the water roared

! The logs plunged end on into the
scoop hollow, hit with Il crash and
were spewed out below more or less
battered. Sometimes, when the drive
brought down hundred logs together
they failed to shoot over the barrier
of the ledge Then followed a jam, a
bad jam, difficult and dangerous to
break.
This condition Of affairs Orde bad
determined, If possible, to obviate,
"If," said he to North. 1--WE could
carry an apron on a slant from Just
under the crest and over the pothoIes
it would shoot both the water and the
logs off n better angle"
Sure" agreed North but you'll
have fun placing your apron with all
that water running through. Why, it

"I've got notion on that" said
Orde.
Into the forest went the axmen.
The straightest tr2PS they feIled,
trimmed and dragged down travoy
trails they constructed, on sleds they
built for the purpose to the banks of
the river. Here they bored the two
holes through either end to receive the
bolts when later they should be locked
together side by side in their places.

where he commanded the construction

with very widespread slanting legs.
When the sawhorses were completed
Orde directed the picks and shovel5
to be brought up.
Orde set his men to digging a chan
mel through the bank. 1t was no slight
Job, as the slope down into a swamp
began only at a point forty or fifty feet
inland; but, on the other hand, the
earth was soft and free from rocks.
