land, the timber, the mill. Have you
got that?"
Jean-Marie gaped again, and then
automatically disengaged himself.
II guess you want to see MI. Con-
nell, the foreman" he said. "It amt
my job. You'll find MI. Cornell in the
store"
Bring him here" said Hilary. "Tell
him I'm waiting for him."
The little man departed at a trot,
quite evidently startled and scared,
and casting back comical looks from
time to time over his shoulder as he
went.
His statement in the store must have
created a good deal of sensation, for
presently two clerks, as we'll as the
two loungers, who had gone inside,
came to the door and stared. Olsen

heart instantly. He knew the type,
knew it as only n with the New Eng

'Im LATE Cornell, at your service,
Mr.. Askew," said the foreman, coming
up to Hilary and standing respectfully
before him.
II suppose I should have let you peo-
pie know that I was coming" said
Hilary.
He wondered why LATE Cornell
whistled; he knew nothing about
Brousseau's telephoned warning.
II guess you'll find things upset a
little" said Cornell. "Mr. Morris has
been away for a couple of weeks, see
ing to his other interests, and I can't
exactly do much for you till he comes
back. It's u slack month, you know,
Mr.. Askew. The men don't go into
the woods until September, and we
don't keep a large force employed on
the mill work"
"Tomorrow's soon enough to start
in" said Hilary. I'm pleased to have
met you, MIR. Connell."
"Wait a minute" said the foreman.
'If you don't mind having me, I'll go
up to the hotel with you. Maybe
theren be some things that you'll
want to ask me-"
"All right said Hilary.
They went together silently across
the shaking bridge and assembled the
hill, each quietly taking stock Of the
other. At the top, where a branch

spruce and a little pine. The mass in
the river, If it consisted of wood of
the same quality, hardly substantiated
Lamartine'S statements.
"You seem to have some good spruce

The little man leaped to his feet,
waving his arms. "What you want

Gle sank half his fortune in it. He
was-excuse me-eccentric. This is
the case: the timber cannot be cut

Askew, I cannot advise you to consid-

I'm sorry to hears that" answered
Hilary. "But I suppose something can
be done with the wood. There are
uses besides pulp-wood to which the
timber can be put?"
Monsieur Lamartine drummed his
fingers for quite a while before an
swering.

upon my uncle's legacy. I'm not con-

past five years.
I'm tired of hunting a job here and
a job there to tend somebody else's

I want my own trees. I want to see
them grow up, and thin them out, and
have a real forest in bearing.

mar who loved trees apart from their
commercial value was a dreamer and
impractical.
"They would pay forty-five thousand
