Thorpe, tn common with the other
men, had thought Badway's vacation
it Christmas time a mistake. He could
not bnt admire the feverish animation
that now characterised the Jobber. Et
ery mischance waa aa quickly repaired
aa aroused expedient could do the
work. v -
, Esprit 6 corps awoke. The men
prang to their tanks with alacrity,
gave more than an bom's exertion to
each of the twenty-four, took a pride
In repulsing assaults of the great en
emy whom they personified under the
generic "She."
. One morning In February Thorpe
was helping load a big butt log. He
waa one of the two men wbo stand at
either end of the skids to help the as
cending log keep straight and true to
Its bed on the pile. His assistant's
end caught on a sliver, ground for a
second, and slipped back. Then the
log ran slanting across the skids In
stead, of perpendicular to them. To
rectify the fault Thorpe dag his cant
book into the timber and threw his
weight on the stock. He hoped In this) I
manner to cneca corresponainKiv u
scent of his end. In other words, he
took the place on bis side of the pre
venting silver, so equalizing the pres
sure and forcing the timber to Its prop
er position. Instead of rolling the log
slid. The stock of the cant hook was
Jerked from bis hands. He fell back,
and the cant book, after clinging for
a moment to the rough bark, snapped
down and hit him a crushing blow on
the top of the bead.
They took Thorpe up and carried him
to. Just as they had carried Hank Paul
before. Uen who had not spoken a
dozen words to him In as many days
gathered his few belongings and stuff
ed them awkwardly Into his satchel
Jackson HInea prepared the bed of
straw and warm blankets in the bot
tom of the sleigh that was to take him
out1' "
"He wonld have made a good boss,"
said the old fellow. "He's a hard man
to nick."
.CHAPTER YHJL
HEN Thorpe finally came to
himself -he was In a long,
bright, clean room, and the
maet was throwa- splashes
of light on the celling over hia bead.
He watched them idly for a time,
then turned on his pillow. At ones he
perceived a long, double row of dean
white painted Iron beds, on which lay
or sat figures of men. Other figures of
women glided here and there noiseless
ly.' They wore long, spreading dove
gray clothes, with a etarched white
kerchief drawn over their shoulders
and across the breast Their heads
were quaintly white-garbed in stilt
winglike coifs, fitting dose about the
oval of the face. Then Thorpe sighed
comfortably and closed his eyes and
blessed the chance that be had bought
a hospital tjeket of the agent who bad
visited camp the month before. For
these were sisters, and the yonng man

"Isn't it early for the thawr
"Listen to Mmr exclaimed the sister
delightedly. "Early, ia It! Sure th'
freshet eo't them all. Look, darllnt;
ye can see the drive from here."
"I see," said Thorpe wearily. .."When
can I get out?"
"Not for wan week," replied the sis
ter decidedly.
At the end of the week Thorpe said
goodby to his attendant. He took two
daya of tramping the little town to re
gain the use of his legs and boarded
the morning train for Beeson Lake. He
did not pause In the village, but bent
bis steps to the river trail.
He followed the trail by the river.
Butterballs and scoters paddled up at
hla approach. Bits of rotten Ice occa
sionally swirled down the diminishing
stream. Around every bend Thorpe
looked for some of Radway's crew
"driving" the togs down the current
He knew from chance encounters with
several of the men In Bay City that
Radway was atill In camp, wblch
meant, of course, that the seasod's oper
ations were not finished. - Five milea
farther Thorpe began to wonder wheth
er this last conclusion might not be er
roneous. The Cass branch had shrunk
en almost to Its original limits. The
drive must have been finished even this

Thorpe, puzzled, walked on. At the
banking ground he found emptyklds.
Evidently the drive was overHCnd yet
jm i i. a i m . .. -
even to Thorpe's Ignorance it seemed
incredible that the remaining million
and a half of logs -had been hauled,
banked and driven during the short i
time be bad lain In the Bay City hos
pital. More to solve the. problem than
In any hope of work be aet out for the
logging road.
Another three miles brought him to
camp. It looked strangely wet and
sodden and deserted. In fact, Thorpe
found a bare half dozen people in It
Bad way, the cook and four men who
were helping to pack up the movables.
The Jobber showed strong traces of
the strain he bad undergone, but greet
ed Thorpe almost Jovially.
"Hello, young man!" be shouted at'
Thorpe's mud splnnhed figure. "Come
back to view the remanix? All well
again, heigh ? That's toed!"
"I didn't know you were through."
explained Thorpe, "and t enm to see
If I could get a Job."
"Well, now, I am sorry!" cried Uad
way. ? "Tou can turn In and help,
though. If you want to."
Thorpe greeted the cook and old Jack
son Hines, the only two whom he
knew, and set to work to tie up bun
dles of blankets and to collect axes,
pea vies and tools of aU descriptions.
That evening the seven dined together
at ana end of the long table. The big
room exhaled already tbs atmosphere
of dsosrtfo'ii
"Not much Hka eld times, is sher
laughed Badway. "Can't you Just shut
your eyes and bear Baptists say, Mak
beem ds soup ana tarn mora for me7
She's pretty empty now."
: Jackson Hines looked whimsically
down th. bare board. "More room
thaa God mad. for geese in Ireland,"
was his comment '
, After supper they sat outside for a
UtUa time to amok, their pipes, chair
tilted agalnsUtbe logs of the cabins,
but soon the chin of melting snow
drove them Indoors. -The four team
sters played seven up In the cook camp
by the light of a barn lantern, while
Thorpe and the cook wrote letters.
Thorpe's wss to his sister. -
"I have 'been In the hospital for
about a month,'1 be wrote.' "Nothing
serious a crack on the bead, which is
all right now. But I cannot get borne
this summer, nor, I sm afraid, can ws
arrange about the school this year. I
am about 70 ahead of where I was
last fall, so you see it Is slow btiaweas.
This summer I am going Into a mill,
but the wages for green labor are not
very high there either.", and so on.
When Miss Helen Thorpe, sged sev
enteen, received this document she
stamped her foot almost angrily.
"You'd think be was s dny laborer r
she cried. "Why doesn't be try for a

"They do, my son. When old Italy's
hand gets near anything It cramps. I
don't know bow the old man come to

The exceptional! t'.irly break up of
the spring, combined with the fact
that owing to the series of incidents
' and accidents already sketched ths sc-
tnal emtio and skiddlna had fallen so
far behind, caught Badway unawares.
He saw the railways breaking out
while his teams were atill hauling In
the woods. In order to deliver to the
mouth of the Casa branch the 8.000X100
already banked be waa forced to drop
everything else and attend strictly to
Ihe drive. This left still, ss bss been
stated, a million and a half on skid
ways, which Radway knew he would
be unable to get out that year.
In spite of. the Jobber's certainty that
hla claim waa thus annulled and that
be mlgiit aa well abandon the enter
prise entirely for all he would ever get
out of it, he finished the "drive" con
scientiously and saved to the company
the logs already banked. Th"0 be had

The next day Radwny and Thorps
walked the ten miles of tb river trail
together, while the teamsters and the
cook drove down the live ten ins. Un
der the Influence of the solitude and a
certalu sympathy which Thorpe mani
fested Kadway talked-a very little.
"I got behind; that's all there is to
It" be said. "I- bit off more than I
could chew."
Thorpe noticed a break In the man's
voice and. glancing suddenly toward
him, waa astounded to catch his eyes
brimming , with tears. Badway per
ceived the surprise.
"Ton know when I left CbristmasT
he asked.
"Yea."
"The boys thought It wss a mighty
poor rig my leaving that way."
He paused again to evident expecta
tion of a reply. Again Thorpe was si
lent
"Didn't theyr Radway Insisted.
"Tea, they did," answered Thorpe.
The older man alghed. "I thought
so," he went on. "Well, I didn't go to
spend Christmas. I went because Jim
my brought me a telegram that Llda
was sick with diphtheria. 1 sat up
nights with ber for eleven daya"
"No bad after effects, 1 hope?" in
quired Thorpe.
"She died," said Badway simply.
CHAPTER IX.

"I need money, snd I need it

"Boxer agSe4thV Jobber readily,

"Good enough!" cried Thorpe. "Now,
when we get to town I wsnt your pow
er of attorney and a few figures, after
which I will not bother you again."
The next day the young man called
for the second time at the little red
painted office under the shadow af the
mill and for the second time stood be
fore the bulky power of the Junior
member of the firm.
"Well, young man, what can I do for

"I hare been informed," said Thorps

briefly.
"I see." said Daly slowly. Thaa sud

startled Thorpe, be cried: "Now, you

The young man recognised tna com
pelling and autocratic boas addrnsslng
a member of the crew.
"I shall do nothing of the kind!" be
replied, with a flash of flra.
The mill owner leaped to Ids fast
Thorpe did not wish to bring about aa
actual scene of violence. Ha bad at

"I have Badways power af attor

"Now. I would Bke to know your po

though convinced that a detailing af

"Ton could not have dona It for one

"Why did we giro it to Badway at

"We could have dons It for four,' in
sisted Daly stubbornly. "But get on.

Thorpe. "That makes your aaw toga

HALF A SECOND'S SLEEP.
Forty Noontime Winks a Day Cured a
Nervous Wrook,
A well known man in England
had among bis ancestors a number
of men and women who committed
suicide. Ue himself becarne melan
choly, and bis children, who knew
the hereditary taint, were much
worried about him. A physician told
him that mental fatigue was his
trouble and persuaded him to try
an experiment The man was s
very busy man and scoffed at the
idea of taking a nap in the middle
of the day. He finally agreed to
tho following: He would sit up in
his easy chair every afternoon with
his bands over his knees, holding a
dinner bell in both bis hands. If
he lost consciousness and went to
sleep he would be willing to sleep
for so long a time as it would take
for the dinner bell to fall to the
floor and wake him up.
The doctor who suggested this
arrangement declared that the real
nmntnl relaxation of going to sleep,
if only for a few seconds, would
suffice to pave him. He invited his
patient to study activity of the brain
by noticing how many, things he
would drenm while the dinner bell
waa falling to the floor. :
Every day for several months the
man with the suicidal heredity sat
down after luncheon with the din
ner bell in his hands. Every day he
went to sleep, slept for half a sec
ond, while the bell fell to the floor,
and his mental condition improved
steadily, partly because of the rest
which his mind got by losing con
sciousness for a second and partly
because of his interest in the ex
traordinary dreams which pasted
through his brain while the bell was
falling. These dreams carried him
all over the world and seemed to
lat indefinitely. A doxen or more
human beings were mixed up in
them. A long succession of events,
which were perfectly clear, passed
before his eyes, gradually interrnnt
ed by a sound from a distance, which
at first would mix in with the
dream and ultimately would prove
to be the dinner bell striking the
floor. The ordinary person who isti
ho has been dreaming all night prob
ably does not realize that he actual
ly dreamed about a second and s
half while he waa waking up
