LOGGING OUTLOOK.
Hard to Secure Cars Enough to Carry
the Logs to the Various Mills.

Z. o. Croker, who is looking after
Che logging enterests of the Falls
Manufacturing Co., of Oconto Falls,
Wis, in the eastern part of Forest
county, came down Saturday and
spent Sunday with his family. He
reports very little snow in the woods
but that logging conditions could
not be better. There is cold weather
enough for ice roads and what little
snow there is does not interfere get
ting out small products. If man
cannot make money this year it is
ON account of mismanagement. One
bad condition, he says, is reported
from the stations along the railroad
lines, and that is the loggers and
jobbers are having a hard time to get
enough cars to ship out their logs,
and that at every landing logs are
being decked up at cost at. an extra
expense of from so cents to Is cents
per 1000 feet extra. Everybody is com.
planning. It is hard to get these logs
insured against fire and the rates are
very high. There is great danger of
ffrein the spring of the year when
logs are stacked up near the tracks.
One reason why there is such scare
iGy OF cars is on account of the large
output of logs this wear. Since 1907
up to the last year al have been cur
falling in their logging business, on
account of the low price of lumber,
but this year lumber is bringing
very high price, and it is different,
and the railroads are being swamped.
Mr.. Croker returned to the camps,
which. are about 100 miles from Wau-
sau on Monday morning.

CHAPTER XIV.
Echoes From the city.


Sallie Kingsbury, unused to psyche
logical analysis, could not have ex
planned why Mr.. Hand was so OBJ
jectionable to her He was no relative
of the family, she had discovered that;
and, accustomed as she was to the old
fashioned gentility of a thrifty New
England town, instinct told her that
he could not possibly be one of its
varied products. He might have come
from anywhere; he talked so little that
he was suspicious on that ground
alone; and when he did speak, there
was no accent at all that Sallie could
lay hold of. Useful as he was lust
now in taking care of that poor young
man upstairs. he nevertheless in
spired in that breast most unholy
irritation. Her attitude was that of a
housemaid pursuing the cat with the
broom.
Mr.. Hand was not greatly troubled
by Sallie's tendency to sweep him out
of the way, but whenever he took any
notice of her he was more than q
match for her. On the afternoon fol
lowing Agatha's visit to Mrs. Stoddard
he appeared to show some slight OBJ
lection to being treated like the cat
He ate his luncheon In the kitchen
a large, delightful room-while Aleck
Van Camp stayed with James. Hand
was stirring broth over the store, now
and then giving a sharp eye to Salliea
preparation of her new mistress
luncheon.
you haven't put any salt or pepper
on mademoiselle's tray, Sallie. said
he, as the maid was about to start up
stairs.

Hand she requested in mournfuI
tone of resignation And Miss Red

Well, she may want soma today
Just the same" insisted Mr. Hand in a
lordly manner, putting a thin silver
boat. filled with salt, and a cheap pink
glass pepper-shaker side by side on
the tray. Sallie brushed Hand away
in disgust.
That doesn't go with the best sill
