"Thank you." Thorpe followed and found himself on the frozen platform of a little dark railway station. Directly across the track from the railway station a sin-; gle building wag pricked from the dark ' by a solitary lamp In a lower story j room. The four who had descended before Thorpe made over toward this, ; light, stumbling and laughing uncer- ;' tainly, so he knew it was probably the ' boarding bouse and prepared to follow j them. j The five were met at the steps by the ' proprietor of the boarding house. This 1 man was short and stout, with a bare- ; lip and cleft palate, which at once gave i him the well known slurring speed) ' of persons so afflicted and imparted also to the timbre of bis voice a pecul- ! larly hollow, resonant, trumpetllke '. note. He stumped about energetically on a wooden leg of home manufacture, j It was a cumbersome instrument, heavy, with deep pine socket for the stump and a projecting brace wbicli passed under a leather belt around the man's waist. This instrument he used with the dexterity of a third hand. As Thorpe watched him he drove in a pro jecting nail, kicked two "turkeys" In side the open door and stuck the armed end of his peg leg through the top and bottom of the whisky jug that one of the new arrivals had set down near the door. The whisky promptly ran out. At this the cripple flirted the im paled Jug from the wooden leg far out over the rail of the veranda Into the snow. A growl went up. "What 'n thunder's that for?" snarl ed one of the owners of the whisky threnlPnhiKly. "Don't allow no whisky here," snuff ed the harelip. The men were very angry. They ad vanced toward the cripple, who re treated with astonishing agility to the lighted room. There he bent the wood en leg behind him, slipped the end of the brace from beneath the leather belt, seized the other peg end In his right band and so became possessed of a murderous bludgeon. This he brand ished, hopping at the same time back and forth in such perfect poise and yet with bo ludicrous an effect of popping corn that the men. were surprised Into laughing. "Bully for yon, pegleg!" they cried. "Eules an' regerlatlons, boys," replied the latter, without, however, a shade ot compromising In his tones. "Had aupper?" CHAPTER III. rLJTlHOEPB was awakened a long rT time before daylight by the III ringing of a noisy bell. He I J dressed, shivering, and stum bled downstairs to the round stove, big as a boiler. Into which the cripple dumped huge logs of wood from time to time. After breakfast Thorpe re turned to this stove and sat half dozing for what seemed to him untold ages. The cold of the northern country was Initiating him. Men came In, smoked a brief pipe and went out After a time he himself put on hie overcoat and ventured out Into the town. It seemed to Thorpe a meager affair, built of lumber, mostly unpalnted, with always the dark, men acing fringe of the forest behind. The great sawmill, with its tall stacks and Its rows of water trels-protectlon against flre-on top, was the dominant note. Near the mill coughed a little red painted structure from whose stove pipe a column of white smoke a row, attesting the cold, a clear hundred feet straight upward, and to whose door a number of men were directing their steps through the snow. Over the door Thorpe could distinguish the word or flce." He followed and entered. In a narrow aisle railed off from the main part of the room waited Thorpe s companions of the night before. The remainder of the office gave accommo daUon to three clerks. One of these glanced up Inquiringly as Thorpe came ' am looking for work," said Thorpe. "Wait there," briefly commanded the clerk. , . . Ia a few moment the door of the inner room opened and Shearer came ont. A man's bead peered from within. -Come on. boys," said be.

Cold withdrew. After a little while they arrived by way of a bill, oyer which they plunged Into the middle of the camp. Thorpe saw three large buildings, backed end , to end, and two smaller onee, all built ; of heavy logs, roofed with plauk and i lighted sparsely through one or two ; window apiece. The driver pulled up opposite the space between two larger , buildings and began to nnload bis pro ; visions. Thorpe set about aiding him i and so found himself for the first time f In "cook camp.'V- ' It was a commodious building. One 1 end furnished space for two cooking ' ranges and two bunk placed one over ' the other.

The horse were unhitched and stabled In the . third of the big log buildings. The , driver indicated the second. "Better go into the men' camp and 1 alt down till tb' bos gets In," he ad j vised. ! Thorpe entered a dim, overheated i structure lined on two side by a don- ble tier of large bunks partitioned v from one another like cabins of a boat ; and centered by a huge stove over I which hung slender poles. The latter ! were to dry clothes on. Just outside ' the bunks ran a straight, hard bench, j Thorpe stood at the entrance trying to ! accustom bis eyes to the dimness. "Set down," said a voice, "on th' floor ; If you want to, but I'd prefer tb' dea ' con seat" Thorpe obediently took position on the bench, or "deacon seat" HI eye, ; more used to the light, could make ont ; a thin, tallv beiit old man, with bare : cranium, two visible teeth and a three j days' stubble of white beard over hi 1 meager, twisted face, j He caught, perhaps, Thorpe' surprl j td expression. ; "You think tb' old man's ho good, do you?" he cackled without the slightest , malice. "Look is decelvln'." - He , sprang np swiftly, seized the toe of hi right foot in hi left hand and Jumped bis left foot through the loop thu j formed. Then be sat down again and I laughed at Thorpe's astonishment f "Old Jackson' still purty mart," said he. "I'm barn boas. They ain't a ' man In th' country know a much about bosses as I do. We ain't had but two sick this fall, an' between yon an' me they'a a skate lot Xou're a greenhorn, ain't you?" j "Yes," confessed Thorpe. ; "Well,." said Jackson reflectively, bnt rapidly, "Le Fabian, he' quiet, bnt , ban; and O'Qrady, be talk loud, bnt yon can bluff him; and Perry, he' only : bad when he get full of red Ukker; and Norton, he' bad when be get ; mad like, and will use axe." !

Besides the' beans were fried salt pork, boiled potatoes, canned corn, mince pie, a - variety of cookies and doughnuts, and strong green tea. Thorpe found himself eating ravenous ly of the crude fare. That evening he underwent a cate chism, a few practical jokes, wblcb he took good naturedly, and a vast, deal of chaffing. At 9 O'clock the lights were all out. By daylight be and a dozen other men wejeat work hewing a road that 'had to be a smooth and level as a New York boulevard. Thorpe and four others were set to work on this road, which was to be cut through a creek bottom leading, he was told, to "seventeen." He learned to nse a double bitted ax. K From shortly after daylight be work ed. Four other men bore blm compa ny, and twice Radway himself came by, watched their operation for a mo ment and moved on without comment After Thorpe bad caught hi second wind he enjoyed hi task, finding a certain pleasure In the ease with which he handled hi tool. At the end of an interminable pe riod a faint, musical hallo swelled, echoed and died through the forest, beautiful a a spirit It was taken np by another voice and repeated. Then by another. Now near at band, now far away, it rang a hollow a a belL The sawyer, the swampers, the skld der and the team men turned and pnt on their heavy blanket coat. Down on the road Thorpe beard it, too, and wondered what it itht be. "Come on, bub. 8he mean chew," explained old man Heath kindly. Thorpe resumed his coat and fell In behind the little procession. After a short time be came upon a horse and ledge. Beyond it the cookee bad built a little camp Ore, around and over which be bad grouped big fifty pound lard tin half full of hot thing to eat Each itipn a be approached picked up a tin plate and cup from a pile near at band. The cookee was plainly master of the situation. He Issued peremptory or der. When Erickson, the blond Swede, attempted surreptitiously to appropri ate a doughnut the youth turned on him savagely and shouted: "Get out of that, you big towbead!" The men ate, perched In various at titudes and places. Thorpe found It difficult to keep warm. The violent ex- "I don't know which of yo boy If comlnfl Artt," a(d M quiedy. rdse bad heated blm through, and now the north country cold penetrated to hi bone. He bnddled close to th fire and drank hot .tea, but it did not do blm very much good. In his secret mind be resolved to buy one of the blanket macklnaw that very evening.

Now that the snsou of cold and tonus has arrived, it is neceHsury to keep the fowl and chick from tuklng cold. . If the roup should get in your flock It will mean n great loss, says 0. P. Greer In Commercial Poultry. Noth ing 1 more discouraging thnn to find half a dozen or more of your bext chicks or fowls with symptoms of roup. : It means If. your flock has roup that every bird, nu difference how valuable, must be .killed and burled. Roup I a very bad disease, and any breeder that will keep roupy fowlH ' nd either breed or sellrlain Is mak ing a mistake. The fowls and chick:: (hould be kept comfortable, and their roosting place abould be proof against rain or rata and arranged to prevent draft of air. If the chickens are roosting in coops, wooden bottoms should be placed nnder the coops, at) the ground will get damp and cold. A little extra precaution may save you the Iom of many chicks. , Cockerel abould be penned to them- 1 selves. Pullet do not have any peace when running, In the aame Inclosure with cockerels. If you want your pullets to do well, do not keep them with the cockerels. When cockerels are put by themselvee they will fight and spar around for awhile, but always quiet down In a short time and will be con tented together. Plae Tar la the Ponltrr HoM.

He carried a huge bamboo pole in one I hand and a utile tin pau in the oth er, tor a little while he stood, watching me land one or two good fish, then a peculiarly polite ex pression came over his face, and he begged to know if it would incon venience me if he fished. "No, indeed," I said quickly. "Where are vou going to begin?" "There," lie replied, pointing to an incline over which the water rushed like lightning. "You can't catoh fish there," I said, for I did not believe it possi ble that a fish could maintain itself ia such an avalanche of water or that he could keep his bait from be ing swept to the bottom of r the chute.. .
