Chapter 3

A the spotted hound following
the Larsons also disappeared
behind the screen of alders. Doug
picked up his gear and started
across the clearing.
Apparently the clearing had
once been a stand of fine Douglas
fir for many of the stumps around
him had diameters of six or eight
feet. Doug had heard of them
reaching a breadth of fifteen feet
but those were exceptions and a
large group of the size of those
in the clearing meant a virgin
grove that must have brought in
a neat sum when cut up into lum-
Der. Now the remainder were be-
ing burnt out or bulldoZed to
make clean pasture.
In the distance he saw smoke
spiralling from a massive CHM
ney; beneath it he caught the red
dish CLEAN of pealed madrona
logs, evidently the Larson house.
He turned away from it and took
the road the old man had indi-
Gated.
He plodded on, his ears tuned
to the familiar noises of the log
ging industry - the thunderous
rumble from the waterfront
where logs were being rolled
from fiat cars into the Sound, the
chug of tractor somewhere up
the mountain side ahead and the
steady muted scream from the
mill where whining saws bit into
hard wood.
Being hired by the boss himself
was not going to be an advantage
he realized; it Smacked of favor
itism and put him on a different
footing from the other men. He
decided to keep it quiet if posi-
BILE.
The clubhouse was empty.
Even though the windows were
open a faint stale odor of whiskey
and tobacco hung suspended in
the air. Doug dropped his boots
and gear in a corner and walked
over to another house where a
clanking of pots limited that sup
per was being prepared. He
thrust his head in the door and
for a long minute stared at the
figure of the man bent over the
long stove. When he spoke his

what sort of accidents?"
Logging ones. Seems like
they're because of carelesSness
yet all the boys is bein' damned
careful. Around the Peninsula
they're beginnin' to call our
camp Larson's Luck, meaning the
bad kind"
He went out and beat the iron
triangle hanging besiGe the door.
Soon men were piling out of
trucks before the clubhouse.
Some of them paused to wash
up, others sat down at the long
tables. Doug caught one by the
arm asking which was Hardin.
The logger shot him cursory
inquisitive glance and gestured
to tall man just entering. Doug
walked over to him. Are you
Hardin?"
Thick dark brows went up
questioningly. That's right"
'I'm Doug Andrews, new here.
They told me to report to you"
Hardin eyed him almost inso-
lently and in turn Doug studied
the man before him. He saw
broad shouldered heavy-set log
ger of about thirty, with lustre-
less black eyes that matched his
wavy hair, a man whom women
would probably consider good
looking His jaws were blue with
stubble and now muscle
twitched at the corner of his thin
mouth.
"Who told you," he said slow
ly.
Doug couldn't avoid saying it
now. "Mr. Larson"
Hardin's eyes narrowed. ooh,
the big boss man himself, Ell?
Well what can you do around
logging camp, Andrews?"
Doug told him and Hardin
nodded then strobe to the end of
the table and hit his water glass
with his fork.
"Gentlemen," he said sarcastic
cally, 1--WE have an optimist in
our midst! Andrews here is join
ing up"
Most of them stared at Doug.
some with curiosity, others with
complete disinterest, a few with
a welcome smile, but at least half
of them had an expression in
their eyes that said "You must
be a fool. Andrews, or don't you
know that the Larson outfit is
operating under a cloud?"

will include two motion pictures
Holland Blooms Again" and They
Said 1t With Tulips"
The title Of Mime. Loudon's adj
dress will be 1.-THE Women and the
Homes of Holland" It Is subject
on which she speaks with enthusi-
asm, for the Dutch have no more
sincere admirer than the attractive
blond wife of the Netherlands Am
bassador.
Since her marriage to DR.. Loudon
she has learned to speak Dutch
fluently. Although the war and its
aftermath have made it impossible
for her to spend much time in Hol-
land, she has kept up with condi-
tions there, not only through her
husband, but through the Dutch Wis
itors who have come to this country.
She always accompanies the AM
bassador on his speaking tours and
during the war she was in close
touch with the war work done by
the women of the Netherlands In
other cities.
Her OWL efforts in behalf of
Netherlands war relief are well
known and she is honorary chair
man Of United Relief for Holland,
Inc, which is still collecting clothing
and money.
Clothing" she said, els the urgent
need-especially underclothing. You
can cut down dresses and suits and
make them over, but underclothing
must be replaced"
Funds raised during the bazaar
last Christmas were used to provide
raincoats and sweaters for the dis
trict nurses who care for the sick in
the villages of Holland.
Numerous other efforts in behalf
of Holland have Nine. Loudon's
whole hearted support. Only this
week she was the guest of honor at
a banquet at which the local chap
ter Of Alpha XII Delta turned over
its share Of a 5000 pledge to the
town of Noorwyk, recently adopted
by the national organization. She
also has taken an active part in
events launching the book drive for
Holland being conducted by the
Netherlands American Foundation.
She has deep interest In the
coming meeting of the Associated
Country Women of the World, which
has members in 10 countries. Organ
lied long before the war for the pur-
pose of giving information on such
matters as health and housing, 1t is
now concerned with the problems
of providing immediate assistance to
the war-stricken countries.
