; arated them he could make out
the giant figure of st. Pierre
Bou1ain getting into a canoe. The
hun1ped-up form already in that
canoe he knew was the Broken
Man. He could not see Marie
Anne.
Very lightly Bateese touched
his arm. "M'sieu will go into

too many eyes do not see it.
You understand. m'sieu agent
de police?"
Carrigan nodded. "I under
stand" he said.
Cool As Ice
In the cabin David waited.
He did not look through the
window to watch st. Pierre's au-
preach. He sat down and picked
up a magazine from the table
upon which Marie-Anne's work
basket lay. He was cool as ice
now. His blood flowed evenly
and his pulse beat unhurriedly.
Never had he felt himself more
his own master, more like grap-
ping with a situation. st.
Pierre was coming to fight. He
had no doubt of that. Perhaps
not physically, at first. But,
one way or another, something
dynamic was bound to happen
next half-hour.
Now that the impending drama
was close at hand, Carrigan's
scheme of Turing ST. Pierre into
the making of a stupendous wager
seemed to him rather ridiculous.
With calculating GOODNESS he was
forced to concede that st. Pierre
would be somewhat of a fool to
accept the wager he had in mind,
when he was so completely in
st. Pierre's power. For Marie
Anne and the chief of the Bou-
lains, the bottom of the river
would undoubtedly be the best
and easiest solution, and the half
breeds suggestion might be acted
upon after all.
AS his mind charged itself for
the approaching struggle, David
found himself staring at a double
page in the magazine, given up
entirely to impossibly slim young
creatures exhibiting certain bits
Of Elusive and mysterious femi-
nine apparel. Marie-Anne had
expressed her appreciation in the
form of pencil notes under several
Of them. Under a cobwebby af-
fair that wreathed one of the slim
figures he read, est. Pierre will

ing, unexcited, sure Of himself,
impressive as a thing of steel. He
was ready to fight. He expected
to fight. It only remained for
st. Pierre to show what sort of
a fight 1t was to be. And he was
amazed at st. Pierre, without be-
traying that amazement.
In the vivid light that shot
through the western windows the
chief of the Boulains stood look
ing at David. He wore a gray
flannel shirt open at the throat,
and it was a splendid throat
David saw, and a splendid head
above it, with its reddish beard
and hair. But what he saw chief
ly were st. Pierre's eyes. They
were the sort Of eyes he disliked
to find in an enemy--a grayish,
steely blue that reflected sunlight
like polished flint. But there was
no flash Of battle-glow in them
now.
st. Pierre was neither excited
nor in a bad humor. Nor did
Carrigan's attitude appear to dis
turb him in the least. He was
smiling; his eyes glowed with al
most boyish curiosity as he stared

MOSCOW, U. S. s. R.-(By Mail)--
The people always have their favorite
heroes who stir their imaginations by
their life and deeds. In the past, tales
were told OF Gear Peter, of Stenka
Rain, OF Pugatchev-these tales ex-
press great fear and amazementa at the
cruelty of czars and of robbers au-
dacity.
In our days the creative power of
the people (of which there are many
examples) has itself chosen its own
favorite-Lenin--"with head as clear
as the SUM-" and have made him the
hero Of all their tales. 'ia

LUMBER JACKS
OF WISCONSIN
GROvEL IN Dirt
Deadly Booze Keeps
Them In Stupor
BY a Worker Correspondent.

ANTEGO, Wis, Jan. "a. - am
moved to describe the living condi-
tions which exists for the workers
in the lumber camps of Wisconsin
and Michigan. These conditions OBJ
tain in general, tho l speak of one
case in particular at Pearson, Wis,
where seventy men are employed.
There are two bunk houses with
thirty-fve men to a shack, beds are
two story high, and in some cases
four men to bed.
Filthy, coarse blankets, which reek
with vermin furnish the scant cover
ing.
1t is winter, the weather is cold, so
all windows are closed, no ventilation
with 35 men to a room.
Picture yourself, IL you can, going
to rest after IL hours of hard toll in
place like this to be annoyed by
vermin, smoking, swearing, card
playing, singing, drinking and what
not. Men come and go, but the bed
ding is never changed, all sorts of
diseases are herded together and
spread.
There are no bath houses, no wash
or dry room so how can men keep
clean?
Several families live in camp some
have children; there are no toilets
provided, so the grounds around the
cook and bunk houses are used
to satisfy this need. The well which
is located near the cook house is very
shallow and throws up only surface
seepage water.
Because of the unsanitary condi-
lions the water has been contamina-
ted and several typhoid patients re-
moved from camp.
The cook house crew numbers
three. This is not nearly enough to
care for the food properly. Con-
sequently filth abounds.
Here are few tit-bits found in the
meat house, which has no floor. Great
chunks of meat lying about the dirt
and being walked on. A barrel of
tainted liver sausage, spoiled pork
sausage, and a rabbit so rotten the
skin dropped off in pieces.
There is no organization on the
part of the workers. No labor paper,
no literature of any kind, nothing but
seething filth and moonshine.

didn't take any back talk from the
mayor and promised to be back soon
to test her free speech rights. The
mayor than set out to deliberately
break the strike, actually standing on
the platform and telling the workers
that if they dared to hinder in any
way those that wanted to scab he
would put them in jail. The French
workers were intimated and fiocked
into the mills the next day. The Polish
were the last to return. Those who
took the lead in the strike were fred.
The strike was lost at the start be-
cause the workers had no organiza-
ton.
