CHAPTER VI. One Way Out,
THAT was a winter of big snow.
 November opened with rain. Day

THAT was winter of big snow
 November opened with rain. Day
 after day the sun hid his face behind massed, splitting clouds. Morn ing, noon and night the caves of the shacks dripped steadily, the gaunt limbs of hardwoods were a line of coursing drops, and through all the vast reaches of fir and cedar the batter of rain kept up dreary monotone. When ever the mist that blew like rolling smoke along the mountains lifted for a brief hour there, creeping steadily downward, lay the banked white.
 Before the snow put stop to log ging, Jack Fyfe dropped in once week or so. When work shut down he came oftener, but he never singled Stella out for any particular attention. Once he surprised her sitting with her el- bows on the kitchen table, her face bur fed in her palms. She looked up at his quiet entrance, and her face must have given him his cue. He leaned a little toward her.
 How long do you think you can stand it2" he asked gently.
 God knows" she answered, surprised into speaking the thought that lay up- permost i'll her mind, surprised beyond measure that he should read that thought.
 He stood looking down at her for a second or two. His lips parted, but he closed them again over whatever rose to his tongue and passed silently through the dining room and into the bunkhouse, where Benton had preceded him a matter of ten minutes.
 It lacked a week of Christmas That day three of Benton's men had gone in the Chickamin to Roaring Springs for supplies They had returned in mid afternoon, and Stella guessed by the new note of hilarity in the bunkhouse that part of the supplies had been liquid. This had happened more than once since the big snow closed in. She remembered Charities fury at the log ger who started Matt the cook on his spree, and she wondered at this re- taxation. but it was not in her province, and she made no comment.
 Jack Fyfe stayed to supper tia. even ing Neither he nor Charlie came back to Bentons quarters when the meal was finished. While she stacked up the dishes Katy John observed:
 Goodness sakes, Miss Benton, them fellers was fresh at supper. They was half drunk, some of them. I bet they'll be half dozen fights before mornin'."
 Later there rose a brief clamor. In the dead silence that followed she heard a thud and the clinking smash of break ing glass a panted oath, sounds of struggle

MANY FINE HOGS
 TO BE DISPLAYED

With Prof E. L. Jordan of Baton Rouge In charge as superintendent, many head of fine hogs will be ex hibited at the Louisiana State Fair, October 31-November g. Prof. Jordon. who is connected with the department of animal industry, Louisiana State University, has been superintendent of the swine division several years and has performed the duties with general satisfaction. Exhibitors and other swine owners are assured the best of consideration at his hands.
 Judging by numerous inquiries re- eeived from breeders, q number of the finest herds of the United States will be represented. The exhibit is expected to be record-breaking Many Louisiana specimens, showing the i'm proyement in the swine industry in this state, will be among the entries. The general competition is open to the world, and liberal awards are to be made. There is keen rivalry among the swine breeders and visitors to the fair this year and are promised an unusual sight in the swine barns.
 Under Supt. Jordan's direction all the exhibits will receive proper atten- tion in unloading and loading, ana in the matter of pens, shelter and other accommodations. Every necessary convenience, including running water. will be provided, for both hogs and exhibitors. A new accommodation this year for the visitors is modern sewerage, which has been installed throughout the grounds and buildings.
 The exhibits will be displayed in large, new buildings, one of which was erected last year at a cost of about S10.000. There will be plenty of eX- hibit space. and also plenty of room for the judging which will be done by W. T Harris, president of the American Duroc Jersey Breeders As sociation.

famously with Mrs. Howe. finding that woman full of virtues unsuspected in her type.
 Altogether she spent a tolerably pleas ant three weeks. Autumns gorgeous paintbrush laid wonderful coloring upon the maple and alder and birch that lined the lake shore. The fall run or the salmon was on, and every stream was packed with the silver horde. threshing through shoal and rapid to reach the spawning ground before they died. or every creek mouth and all along the lake the seal followed to prey on the salmon, and sea trout and lakers alike swarmed to the spawning beds to feed upon the roe. The days shortened. Sometimes a fine rain would drizzle for hours on end, and when if would clear the saw toothed ranges hanking the lake would stand out all freshly robed in white-a man. He that crept lower on the fir clad Tt5pes after each storm.
 harly in October Charlie Benton nau squared his neighborly account with Jack Fyfe. With crew and equipment he moved home, to begin work anew on his own limit.
 Katy John and her people came back from the salmon fishing. Then Charlie wheedled Stella into taking up the cook. house burden again. Stella consented. In truth she could do nothing else Charlie spent a little of his contract profits in piping water to the kitchen, in a few things to brighten up and make more comfortable their own quar. ters.
 Just as soon as I can put another boom over the rapids, Stell," he prom. ised, ''I'll put cook on the job I've got to sail a little close for awhile With this crew I ought to put a million feet in the water in six weeks. Then I'll be over the hump, and you can take 1t easy But till them
 "Till then may as well make my. self useful" Stella interrupted caustic. ally.
 "Well, why not?" Benton demanded impatiently. Nobody around hero works any harder than I do"
 And there the matter rested.
