PERFECTION OF MODERN ART
Small Wonder Young Lady Artist Ex-
ulted as She Gazed on Her
Completed Painting.

The young lady looked before her
with entranced gaze. She looked low
lngly on the purple sun as it arose in
the west.
Her eyes fingered approximately on
the bright green sky, with splotches Of
red and orange stretched across its
spacious breadth.
Clasping her hands with joy, she
gazed at the fiimsy, odd-looking clouds
Of yellow, splashed across the heavens.
Several fishes We're flying in the sky,
while birds could be seen in the waters
below, swimming and drinking.
Then her eyes turned toward where
a few ocean liners sped across the
horizon, with sails unfurled; fisher
mans castle, and the lowiy fisher out
side cleaning some fish, seated on a
one-legged stool in a patch of red
grass.
wonderful Z" cried the young lady.
This is really the prettiest picture

MOO" He threw up his hamliks
hands despairingIy.
Three days later a cloud-burst filed
che river to the bl$m 1t came at night
and swept the river clean Of Car1li-
gan's clear logs. An army Of Jug
gernauts. they swept down on the
boiling torrent to tidewater, reaching
the bay shortly after the tide had
commenced to e6b.
Now, a chain is only as strong as
its weakest link, and log-boom Is
chaplet OF small logs, linked end to
end by means OF short chains; hence
when the vanguard of logs on the
lip Of that food reached the log
boom, the impetus Of the charge was
too great to be resisted. Straight
through the weakest link In this boom
the huge saw-logs crashed and out
over Humboldt bar to the broad Pa
clfic. With the ebb tide some Of them
came back, while others, caught In
cross-currents, bobbed about the bay
all night and finally beached at widely
scattered points. Out Of the fifteen
million feet OF logs less than three
million were salvaged, and this task
In itself was an expensive operation.
John Cardigan received the news
calmly. He turned from the manager
and walked away through his logged
over lands, across the little divide
and down into the quarter-section OF
green timber he had told McTavish
not to cut. Once in the Valley Of the
Giants, he followed a well-worn foot
path to the little amphitheater, and
where the sunlight filtered through
ike a halo and fell on a plain little
white marble monument, he paused
and sat down on the now almost de-
cayed sugar-pine windfall.

slept beneath the stone. Then he
leaned back against a redwood tree,
removed his hat, and closed his eyes.

ed him immensely. And ct parting
she kissed him goodbye, reiterating
her opinion that he was the incest,
kindest boy she had ever met or hoped
to meet.
When Shirley and her uncle and
aunt boarded the steamer for San
Francisco, Bryce stood disconsolate
on the dock and waved to Shirley
until he could no longer discern her
on the deck. He thought Of his elm

and he lost his appetite, very much to
Mrs. Tully's concern. Then the

CHAPTER ~.

1t was on the day that John Cardi-
gan received the telegram from Bryce
saying that, following four years at
Princeton and two years Of travel
abroad, he was returning to Sequoia to
take over his redwood heritage-that
he discovered that q stranger and not
the flesh of his flesh and the blood Of
his blood was to reap the reward Of
his fifty years Of endeavor.
For long time he sat there lethar-
gic with misery. Eventually he
reused himself, reached for the desk
telephone, and pressed a button on
the office exchange-statiOn. His man
ager, one Thomas Sinclair, answered.
Thomas" he said calmly, you
know, Of course, that Bryce is com
ing home. Tell George to take the
big car and go over to Red Bluff for
him."
George Sea Otter, son of Bryce
Cardigan's old half-breed nurse, was
a person in whose nature struggled
the whites prediction for advertise
ment and civic pride and the red
mans instinct for adornment. For
three years he had been old man
Cardigan's chauffeur and man-of-all-
work about the latter's old-fashioned
home, and in the former capacity he
drove John Cardigan's single evidence
Of extravaganza Napier car. which
was very justly regarded by George
Sea Otter as the king of automobiles.
since it was the only imported car in
the county. Upon receipt Of orders,
therefore, from Sinclair, to drive the
Napier over to Red Bluff and meet
his future boss and one-time play
fellow, George Sea Otter arrayed him
self in a pair Of new black corduroy
trousers, yellow button shoes, blue
wooden shirt with a large scarlet silk
handkerchief tied around the neck, a
pair of beaded buckskin gloves with
fringe dependent from the gauntlet,
and a broad white beaver hat with
rattlesnake-skin band. Across the
windshield Of the Napier he fastened
an orange-colored pennant bearing
in bright green letters the legend:
MY CITY-SEQUOIA. AS a safety
first precaution against man and
beast en- route, he buckled a gun
scabbard to the spare tires on the
running-board and slipped a rifle into
the scabbard within quick and easy
reach Of his hand; and arrayed thus,
George descended upon Red BLUM at
the helm Of the king Of automobiles.
When the overland train coasted
into Red Bluff and slid to q grinding
halt. Bryce Cardigan saw that the
Highest Living Authority had de-
scended from the train also. He had
elected to designate her thus In the
absence of any information anent her
Christian and family names, and for
the further reason that quite obvious
ly she was very superior person.

CHAPTER il-Continued.

OF an their adventures together,
however, those which occurred on their
frequent excursions up to the Valley
OF the Giants impressed themselves
tmperishably upon Bryce's memory.
How well he remembered their first
trip, when, seated astride his fathers
shoulders with his sturdy little legs
around Cardigans neck and his chubby
little hands clasping the old mans
ears, they had gone up the abandon
ed skid-road and into the semi-dark-
ness of the forest, terminating sud
denly In a shower of sunshine that
fell in an open space where boy
could roll and play and never get
dirty. Bryce looked forward with
eagerness to those frequent trips with
his father ito the place where Mother
dear went to heaven"
When Bryce was six years old. his
father sent him to the public school
in Sequoia with the children Of his
loggers and mill-hands, thus laying
the foundation for a democratic edu-
cation all too infrequent with the sons
of men rated as millionalres. Bryce's
boyhood was much the same as that
of other lads in Sequoia, save that in
the matter of toys and later guns,
fishing-rods, dogs and ponies he was a
source of envy to his fellows. After
his tenth year his father placed him
on the mill payroll, and on payday
ne was wont to line up with the mill
crew to receive his modest stipend of
ten dollars for carrying in kindling to
the cook in the mill kitchen each day
after school
This otherwise needless arrangement
was old Cardigan's way Of teaching
his boy financial responsibility.
When Bryce Cardigan was about
fourteen years old there occurred an
important event In his life. In COM
mendable effort to increase his income
he had laid out a small vegetable
garden In the rear Of his fathers
house, and here on a Saturday morn
ing, while down on his knees wedding
carrots, he CHANGED to look up and
discovered a young lady gazing at him
through the picket fence. She was

some day understanding will come TO
you. You mustn't fail the people who
work for you-who are dependent upon
your strength and brains and enter
prise to furnish them with an oppor-
tunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. When you are the boss
of Cardigan's mill, you must keep the
wheels turning; you must never shut
down the mill or the logging-camps
in dull times just to avoid a loss you
can stand better than your employees"
His hard, trembling old hand closed
over the boys. Il want you to be
brave and honorable man." he con-
cluded.
True to his word, when John Cardi-
gan finished his logging in his old,
original holdings adjacent to Sequoia
and Bill Henderson's Squaw creek
timber, he quietly moved south with
his Squaw creek woods-gang and join
ed the crew already getting out logs
in the San Hedrin watershed. Not
until then did Bill Henderson realize
that John Cardigan had called his
bluff-whereat he cursed himself for
a fool and poor judge Of human ma
ture. He had tried a hOld-up game
and had failed; a dollar a thousand
feet stumpage was a fair price; for
years he had needed the money; and
now, when it was too late, he realized
his error. Luck was with Henderson,
however, for shortly thereafter there
came again to Sequoia one Colonel
Pennington, a millionaire white-pine
operator from Michigan. From
chair-war1ner on the porch Of the
Hotel Sequoia, the Colonel had heard
the tale of how stiff-necked old John
Cardigan had called the bluff of equal
Iy stiff-neclSed Bill Henderson; so for
the next few weeks the Colonel, under
pretense Of going hunting or fishing
on Squaw creek, managed to make a
fairly accurate cursory cruise of the
Henderson timber-following which
he purchased it from the delighted
Bill for a dollar and a quarter per
thousand feet stumpage.
No man is infallible, and in plan
ming his logging operations in the San
Hedrin watershed John Cardigan
presently made the discovery that he
had erred In judgment. That season,
from May to November his woods
crew put thirty million feet of logs
into the San Hedrin river, while the
mill sawed on a reserve supply Of logs
taken from the last of the old chop
pings adjacent to Squaw creek. That
year, however. the rainfall in the San
Hedrin country was fifty per cent.

May of the following year Cardigan's
