coming first," said he quietly, "but he
i is fiolng to get It good and plenty."

men would never have recoiled before
the mere danger of a stick of hard
wood. But this was a good natured bit
of foolery, a test of nerve, aud there
was no object in getting a broken head
for that. The reptilian gentleman alone
grumbled something profane.
"If you hanker for trouble so much,"
drawled the unexpected voice of old
Jackson from the corner, "raebbe you
could put on the gloves."
The rest was farce. Thorpe was built
on true athletic lines broad, straight
shoulders, narrow flanks, long, clean,
smooth muscles. He possessed, besides,
that hereditary toughness and bulk
which no gymnasium will ever quite
aupply. The other man, while power
ful and ugly in his rushes, was clumsy
and did not use bis head. Thorpe
planted his hard, straight blows at will.
Finally he saw his opening and let out
With a swinging pivot blow. The other
picked himself out of a corner and
drew off the gloves. Thorpe's status
was assured.
"The young feller's all right," ob
served Heath. "He cuffed Ben up to a
peak all right."
"Went down like a peck of wet fish
nets," replied Jackson tranquilly.
CHAPTEH V.
mN the office shanty one evening
about a week later Radway and
his scaler happened to be talk
ing over the situation. The
scaler, whose name was Dyer, slouched
back in the shadow watching his
great honest superior as a crafty,
dainty cat might watch the blunder
lngs of a St Bernard. Dyer had a pre
cise little black mustache, whose ends
he was constantly twisting Into points;
black eyebrows, and long, effeminate,
black lashes. The two men conversed
in short, elliptical sentences, using
many technical terms.
"That 'seventeen' white pine is going
to onderrun," said Dyer. "It won't
skid over 3,000."
"It's small stuff," agreed Radway, t
"and ao much the worse for us. But
the company '11 stand in on It because
mall stuff like that always overruns
en the mill cut"
The scaler nodded comprehension.
"When are you going to dry haul
that Norway across Pike laker'
"Tomorrow. Bhe springs, but the
book says five Inches of ice will hold
a team, and there s more than tnat
How much are we putting in day
nowY"
"About 40,000."
Radway fell silent
"Thafa mlehty little for such
crew," he observed at last doubtfully.
"I always said you were too easy
with them. You got to drive them
more."
"Well, it's a rough country," apolo
gized Kadway, trying, as was bis cus
tom, to find excuses for the other par-
ty as soon as be was agreed wiin in
his blame. "There's any amount of
not holea. and then we've had so mucn
snow the ground ain't really froze un
derneath. It gets pretty soft in some
of them swamps. Can't figure on put
ting np much In this country aa we
used to down on tbe Muskegon."
The scaler smiled a thin smue au to
hlmielf behind tbe stove. Dyer knew
Derfectly well that the work was be-
hin .nt ha knew the reason. For
some time the men bad been relaxing
their efforts. They had worked hon
estly enough, but a certain anap and
vim bad lacked. This was because
Radway had been too easy with them.

temperature." Under the warm white
blanket the actual freezing bud been
slight. However, there seemed to be
at least eight Inches of clear Ice, which
would suffice.
Four logs had been safely hauled.
The fifth was on Its Journey across the
lake. Suddenly without warning and
with scarcely a sound both horses sank
through the Ice, which bubbled up
around them and over their backs in
Irregular rotted pieces. Little Fublan
Laveque shouted and jumped down
from hia log. Tat McGuIre and young
Henrys came running.
The horses had broken through an
air bole about which the Ice was
strong. Fabian had already seized
Molly by the bit and was holding hex
head easily above water.
"Kltch Jenny by dut he't!" be cried to
Pat
Thus the two men without exertion''
sustained the noses of the team above
the surface. The position demanded
absolutely no haste, for It could have
been maintained for a good hnlf hour.
Molly and Jenny, their soft eyes full of
the Intelligence of the situation, rested
easily in full confidence. But rat and
Henrys, new to this sort of emergency,
were badly frightened and excited,
"Oh, Lord," cried Tat, clinging des
perately to Jenny's headpiece, "what
will wea be doln'? We can't nlver haul
them two horses on the Ice."
"Tak' de log chain," said Fabian to
Henrys, "an' tie him around de neck of
Jenny."
Henrys after much difficulty and
nervous fumbling managed to loosen
tbe swamp hook and after much more
difficulty succeeded In making It fust
about the gray mare's neck. Fabian
intended with this to choke the animal
to that peculiar state when she would
float like a balloon on the water and
two men could with ease draw her over
the edge of the ice. Then the unexpect
ed happened.
The instant Henrys had passed the
end of the chaiu Uirong'j the knot Pat
possessed by some I-Iioei-nlnn notion
that uow all was fast, let ko of tbe bit.
Jenny's head at once went under, and
the end -of the logins t-lialti glided
over and fell plump i:t the hole.
Immediately all was coiil'u.'ion.

water, throwing it kicUiu out
in every direction. Unci a lio.-e'
head dips strongly the t.iiaj 13 over.
No animal drotvuj i:i.;tv ;i;!ckly. The
two young boys Bcruiublrd mv(iy, and
French oaths could not in.lucc them to
approach. Molly, still upheld by Fa
bian, looked at biui piteously with her
strange, intelligent eyes, holding her
self motionless and rigid with com
plete confidence in this master who bad
never failed her before. Fabian dug
his heels into the ice, but could not
hang on. The drowning horse was
more than a dead weight Presently it
became a question of letting go or be
ing dragged Into the lake on top of the
animals. With a sob the little French
man relinquished bis hold. The water
seemed slowly to rise end overfllm tbe
troubled look of pleading in Molly's
eyes.
"Assassins!" hissed Laveque at the
two unfortunate youths; that was alL
"I suppose it was a good deal my
fault" commented Radway, doubtfully
shaking bla head after Laveque bad
left the office. "I ought to bare been
surer about the ice."
Radway waa so confirmed In bis be
lief as to bis own culpability that he
quite overlooked Fabian's Just conten
tion that tbe mere thinness of tbe ice
was in reality no excuse for tbe losing
of the horses. So Put and Henrys were
not discharged; were not instructed to
get tbeir time. Fauian iveque
promptly demanded bis.
"I no work wld aa( icoi oat no via
wif bees bald!" !
This deprived the camp at once or a
teamster and a. team. When you re
flect that one pair of horses takes care
of the exertions of a crew of aawyera,
several swampers and three or four
eant book men yon win renauy
what a serious derangement their loss
would cause.
Radwsr did his best. He took three ,
daya to search out a big team of farm
nones. Then It Ixt-nnie necessary iv

be decided to adrmce Bob Stratum to
tbe post that "decker" having had

ttand fans of bla own. After a lew '
days he told Thorpe that he was mar
ried, and after a few days more be
showed his bunk mate the photograph
of a sweet faced young woman who
looked trustingly out of tho picture.
"She's waiting down there for me,
and it ain't so very long till spring,"
said Paul wistfully. "She's the best lit
tle woman a man ever had, and there
ain't nothing too good for her, chum
my." Thorpe, soul sick after his recent ex
periences with the charity of the world.
j discovered a real pleasure In this fresh,
: c!-r passion.

I started iu at tbe swamping Paul, dur

"Got another letter, chummy." aald
he. "Come in yesterday. Bhe tells
me," bo hesitated, with a blush, and
tlien a happy laugh, "that they ain't
golug to be only two of ua at the farm
next year." . '
"Tou mean?" queried Thorpe.
"Yes," laughed Paul, "and if it's a
girl she gets named after her mother,
rm bet"
Molly, $tlll upheld bi t'nhlan, looked at
luM pitcoiwly.
Tbe "men separated. In a moment
Thorpe found himself waist deep in
the pitchy aromatic top of an old bull
sap, clipping away at the projecting
branches. After a time he beard Paul's
gay halloo. , .
"Timber!? came the cry. and then
the awish-ah-sh crash of the tree's
fall.
Thorpe knew that now either Hank
or Tom must be climbing with the long
measuring pole along tbe prostrate
trunk, marking by means or snaiiow
ax clips where the saw was to divide
the logs. Then Tom shouted some
thing unintelligible. Tbe other men
seemed to understand, however, for
they dropped tbeir work and ran hasti
ly in tbe direction of the voice. Thorpe
after a moment's indecision did tbe
same. He arrived to find a group
about a prostrate man. The man was
Paul.
Two of the older woodsmen, kneel
ing, were conducting coolly a nasty
examination. At the front every man
Is more or less of a surgeon.
"Is be hurt badly r aaked Thorpe.
"What is Itr
"He's dead," answered one of tbe
i other men soberly. - '
With tbe skill of ghastly practice
some of them wove a Utter, on which
tbe body . was placed. Tbe pathetic
little procession moved in the solemn,
Inscrutable forest

crashed through the top of another,
leaving suspended in tbe branches of

Impaled as by a Javelin. Tbls is tbe
chief of the many perils of the woods.
- That evening the camp was unusual- j

"You in. chummy T he asked In
autet voice. "It's a Ave apiece for
Hank's woman."
"Yea," said Thorpe.
- The men were earning from $20 to
$30 a month. Tbey bad moat of them
never seen Hank Paul before this au
tumn. He bad not mainly because of
bis modest disposition, enjoyed any ex
traordinary degree of popularity, yet
these strangers cheerfully, as a matter
of course, gave np the proceeds of a
week s naru wont, anu mat wiuwbi
expecting the align teat personal credit.
Tbe money was sent "from the boys.
Thorpe later read a heartbroken letter
to the unknown benefactors. It touched
him deeply, sod be suspected the other
men of the name emotions, but by that
time tbey bad regained tbe Independ
ent self contained poise of the froo

In this rawp be was beginning to learn
the condition, of aucce-.
n.r-Ttrn wt
HET finUbed rutting on section
17 during TbfrpVs second
week. It became necewry to
begin on section It, which lay
LU
two miles to tbe east In that direction
the character of the country changed
somewhat.
The pine there grew thick on Isolated
"islands" of not more than an acre or
ao in extent little knolls rising from
tbe level of a marsh. In ordinary con
ditions nothing would have been easier
than to have plowed roads across the
frozen surface of this marsh. Tbe pe
culiar state of tbe weather Interposed
tremendous difficulties.
The early part of autumn had been
characterized by a heavy anowfall Im
mediately after a series of mild days.
A warm blanket of some thickness
thus overlaid tbe earth, effectually pre
venting tbe freezing which subsequent
cold weather would have caused. AU
the season Radway bad contended with
this condition. Even In the woods,
muddy swamp and spring boles caused
endless difficulty and necessitated a
great deal of "corduroying," or the lay
ing of poles side by side to form an
artificial bottom. Here in tbe open
some six Inches of water and unlimit
ed mud awaited the first horse that
should break through tbe layer of snow
and thin ice. Between each pair of is
lands a road bad to be "tramped."
. Thorpe and tbe rest were put at this
Slsagreeable job. AU day long they
bad to walk mechanically back 'and
forth on diagonals between tbe marks
set by Radway with his snowsboes.
Early in tbe morning their feet were
wet by icy water, for even the light
weight of a man sometimes broke the
frozen skin Of the marsh. . By night
a road of trampled snow of greater or
less strength waa marked out across
the expanse. Thus the blanket was
thrown back ' from tbe warm earth,
and thus the cold was given a chance
at tbe water beneath. In a day or so
tbe road would bear a horse. A bridge
f ice bad been artificially constructed,
en either side of which lay unsounded
depths. Tbls road was indicated by
a row of firs stuck in the snow on
either side.
It was very cold. All day long the'
restless wind swept across the shiver
ing surface of tbe plains and tore
around the corners of the islands. The
big woods are as good as an overcoat
Tbe overcoat had been taken away.
When the lunch sleigh arrived the
men huddled shivering in the lee of
one of tbe knolls and tried to eat with
benumbed fingers before a fire that
was but a mockery. Often it waa near
ly dark before tbeir work warmed
them again. All of the skldwaya had
to be placed on the edges of the is
lands themselves, and tbe logs had to
be travoyed over the steep little knolls.
A single misstep out on to tbe plain
meant a mired horse. Three times
heavy snows obliterated the roads, so
that they had to be plowed out before
tbe men could go to work again. It
was a struggle. '
Radway was evidently worried. .He
often paused before a gang to inquire
bow tbey were "making it" He seem
ed afraid tbey might wish to quit
which was Indeed the case, but be
should never bare taken before them
any attitude but that of absolute con
fidence in tbeir Intentions. His anx
iety was natural, however. " He - re
alized tbe absolute necessity of skid
ding and hauling this Job before tbe
heavy choking snows of the latter part
of January should make it impossible
to keep the roads open. Bo insistent
was this necessity tbst be bad seized
the first respite in tbe phenomenal
snowfall of the early autumn to begin
work. 'The cutting in tbe woods could
wait
to bb CONTINUES. J
HE WANTED ENVELOPES.
Why His Request For Them Caueed a
Postoffloe Holdup. -
The pronunciation of a word
caused a holdup in the line at a
tamp window of the general post
office the other day. A man vent up
to the window and asked for two
stamped "en-Tel-opar" putting the
accent on the last syllable. The
clerk took tbe money and held' it
without making any attempt to
hand out the required articles.
"Well," said the purchaser, "when
do I get them?"
'Get whatr asked the clerk.
' . "I asked for two envelopes,'' again
accenting the last syllable.
"Oh, you mean two en-Tel-ops,"
replied the clerk patronizingly, giv
ing a vicious accent to the second
syllable.
"No, I didn't mean anything of
the kind!" snapped the purchaser.
"Well, that's what yoa ought to
hare said, all right," the clerk ob
served. "Say, what do yon deal in here,
stamps or pronunciation? I didn't
come here to bay instruction from
you." -
"Why not call it ong-Tel-ope and
let it go at that?" said studious
looking man as he poked a penny
under the glass ana asked for a
postal card. : :'
"I bear that word pronounced in
so many different ways in one day
that it gives me the rickets," said
the clerk later. "There ought to be
an official postofflce order on it, as
ia Arkansas the legislature told the
people how to pronounce tho same
of the state,' I can stand for most
any way but ong-Tel-ope. That is

Then followed a legal argtnnent
of about half an hour on the objec

comes from the hands of our Creator
is not a finished product. It Is only a

Life Is utterly meaningless if spent

Those who succeed Iu the great bat
tle of life are not ordinarily the ones
who st the outfit have hud everything
quite smooth and easy Ix-fore tbetn,
but It Is they who are conscious of an
Inward power, are aware that tbey
must meet with dilHeiiities wblcb at
times will seem to baffle them, but
who atruggle on with a brave and de
termined spirit and at last acquire a
success well earned and on that ac
count more likely to be tasting. Fa

Education Is not a certain amount
of- raw knowledge which you have
been able to stow away. There are
many men full of facts wbo In a mo
ment's conversation show tbey are
without an education. True education
Is tbe awakening of the mind to see
and enjoy; It la giving It wings by
which to mount higher, see more clear
ly snd enjoy more fully. And culture
Is tbe graceful wsy Iu which yoa place
all these st tbe service of others. Rev.

ICE STORAGE.
a Serviceable and Darabl.
That Largely )r.T.ata Waste.
Looking forward to winter work, T.
L. Hlles gives a seasonable article in
Orange Judd Farmer on "Securing a
farm supply of ice. He says:
Select a alte convenient to the point
where the ice will he used. A alight
elevation on dry, sandy or gravelly soil
Is best for drainage. A house 80 by ISO
by VI feet Inside will bold 1,000 tons of
Ice, each foot in length of the bouse
representing seven tons storage capac
ity. A bouse 10 by 80 by 12 feet will
store 100 tons, each foot in length rep
resenting a little more then three tons
storage capacity. The construction of
either size or an Intermediate one will
follow the same general lines of con
struction. .
For a 1,000 ton house level off the
site and lay down mud sills 4 by
Inches (2 by 8 Inch planka spiked to
gether to break Joints). Drive in stakes
on both sides, about ten feet apart, to
hold tbe sills to place. The atuddlng
are 2 by 8 incbea by 12 feet set with
thirty Inch centers; plate, 2 by 8 Inches.
Board up inside sod out with 1 by 10
inch boards, surfaced on one side fnd
two edges to make close Joints. It Will
cost a little more for lumber all one
width, but the ssvlng In labor in han
dling It wilt largely offset this.
Iu tbe latitude of Chicago two ply
waterproof paper between the studding
and tbe Inside sheathing is necessary
to keep dampness out of the walls and
preveut air circulation. South of Chi
cago to central Illinois two ply. paper
qulred to Increase the insulation, j If
paper lining la omitted tbe walla be
come damp and rot out rapidly. Pill
in tbe walla with dry sawdust, packed
anug, or with chopped straw or slouch
boy If sawdust Is not readily secured.
The rsfters sre 2 by S inches by 24
feet with thirty Inch centers snd 2 by
8 inch tie stringers fifteen feet apart
on the plate. Finish tbe roof with
shingles and place two slat ventilatora
thirty Inches square on the ridge. Coat
the bouse all over, shingles and aJL
with waterproof whitewash or cold
water white paint Thla will reflect
the aun'a rsya and leesea waste by
meltage and reduce danger from lire,
the lime wsab preventing tbe wood
from readily Igniting.
Such a house kept In good repair will
be serviceable for twenty, years and
will preserve Ice with little waste If
ssonox or ica SToaaan Booem,
well managed. Built of hemlock lum
ber, a 1,000 ton bouse ean be erected
for about I2.2C0 In northern ullaoia.
Tbls quantity of Ice will supply the or
dinary needs of 200 families for Ice
boxes, refrigerators, ice cream, etc al
lowing delivery of a hundred pounds
twice weekly to eacb family, with a
surplus for waste and extra require
ments, during thirty-one weeks. Tbe
Ice Itself stored In tbe bouse may cost
from 80 cents a ton np, according to
local conditions. A cash capital of
$3,000 would be needed to carry oa
such so enterprise.
One hundred tons of Ice will serve a
large dairy farm or milk shipper, sup
plying ice for family nee as well.
lowing tbe consumption of BOO pounds
of Ice dally for 240 days. Tbe cost of
tbe 100 too boose will approximate
$300 and the Ice from 80 cento a ton op
when stored In the ice bouse. Always
keep the top of the Ice In tbe boose
covered with two feet of straw or bay.
