Wine of Cardui
Cured Her.
213 Sooth Prior Street,
Aruiirrx, G,, March 21, 1903. .
' I suffered for four months with
extreme nervousness and lassitude.
I had a finking feeling in my
Stomach which no medicine seemed
to relieve, and losing my appetite
I became weak and lost my vital
ity. In three weeks I lort fourteen
ponnds of flesh and felt that I must
find speedy relief to regain my
health. . . Having heard Wine of
Cardui praised by several of my
friends, I sent for a bottle and was
certainly very" pleased with the
results. Within three days my
appetite returned and my stomach
troubled me no more. ; I could
digest my food without difficulty
and the nervousness gradually
diminished. . Mature . performed
her functions without difficulty
and I am once more a happy and
well woman.

Thorpe could hardly bellsv. his good
fortune In having gained ao, Important
a recruit With a practical man aa
foreman, his mind would be relieved
of a great deal of worry over unfamil
iar details. 4 He saw at one that he
would himself be able to perform all
the duties of scaler, keep in touch with
the needs of the camp and aupervlae
the campaign. Nevertheless be answer
ed the older man's glance with one aa
keen and said: r
"Look here. Shearer, If yon take this
job we may aa well understand each
other at tbe start ..This Is going to be
my camp, and I'm going, to be boss. 1
don't know much about logging, and I
shall want you to take charge of all
that but I shall wont to know Just
why you do each thing, and If my Judg
ment advises otherwise, my Judgment
goes. If I want to discbarge a man, he
walks without any question. I know
about what I shall expect of each man,
and I Intend to get It out of him. And
In questions of policy mine la the say
so every trip. Now. I know you're; a
good man one of the best there la
and I presume I shall find your , Judg
ment the best, but. I don't want any
mistakes to start with. If you want
to be my foreman on those terms Just
say so, and I'll be tickled to death to
have you."
For the first time the lumbering man's
face lost during a single Instant Its
mask of Immobility. His steel , blue
eyes flashed; bis mouth twitched with
some strong emotion. For the, first
time, too, he spoke without contempla
tive pause of preparation. ,i
"That's the way to talkl" he cried.
"Go with you J Well, I should rise to
remark! You're the boss, and I always
aald it I'll get you a gang of bully,
boys that will roll logs till there's skat
'lng in Topbet" , s
Thorpe left, after making an ap
pointment at his own hotel for tbe fol
lowing day, more, than pleased with
his luck. None tbe less, he anticipated
his next step with shaky confidence.
He would now be called upon to buy
four or five teams of norsesand enough
feed to last tbem the entire winter, and
be would have to arrange for pro
visions In, abundance and variety for
his men; be would have to figure on
blankets, harness, cook camp utensils,
stoves, blacksmith's, tools, Iron, axes.
chains, cant hooks,, van gooas, paus,
lamps, oil, matches, all aorta of bard
warein short aU the thousand .and
one things, from needles to court plas
ter, of which a self aufflclng commu
nity might come in need. And he
would have to figure out his require
ments for the entire winter' After
navigation closed he could Import noth
ing more. " rr
Deep in these thoughts ho wandered
on at random. Ha suddenly earn to
himself in tbe toughest quarter of Bay
City. . i
Through .the. summer night thrllld
the sound, of jachlnnatlons pointed to
tbe colors ;)f, mirth. A cheap piano
rattled and thumped through an open
window. Men's and women'a voices
mingled In rising and falling gradua
tions of harjhncis. - Lights streamed
Irregularly across tbe dark. i h
Thorpe became .aware of a figure
crouched In the doorway almost at bit
feet The flickering ray of distant
Street lamp threw. Into relief the high
lights of a violin and a bead. The face
upturned to him was thin and whit,
and wolflab under a broad white brow;
Dai eyea gleamed at him with ,tb
expression of a fierce anlmaL Across
tbe forehead ran a long but shallow
cut from, which blood dripped. Tbe
creature clasped both arms around a
violin. ' He crouched there and etared
up at Thorp, who stared down at him.
"What's the matterr asked the lat

-The. creature made no reply, tut
drew his arms closer about his instro
mont, .Thorpe made a sign to the un
known M rise.
"Come with me," said be, "and HI
have your forehead attended to."
(.Tbe cyea gleamed Into his with a
sudden aavago concentration.' Then
their owner obediently arose.
Thorpe now saw that the body bo
fore him was of a cripple, abort legged,
hunchbacked, long armed, pigeon
breasted. The large head sat stranger

. "Were yen playing your fiddle In one

. The cripple nodded slowly.
. "Are yon , hungry V asked Thorpe,
with a sudden though tfulness.
"Tea," replied tbe cripple, with a
lightning gleam in his wolf eyes.
Thorpe rang tbe bell. To the boy
Who answered It he said:
"Bring mo half a dosen beef sand
wiches and a glass of milk, and be
quick about It"
"Do yon play tbe fiddle mucbT" con
tinued Thorpe.
The cripple nodded again.
.."Let's near what you can do."
' "They cut my strings!" cried Pbll,
with a passionate wail.
.. : The cry came from tbe heart and
Thorpe was touched by it. The price
of strings waa evidently a big sum.
'Til get you more in the morning,"
said he. "Would you like to leave Bay
Cltyr ' ,
i.Tee!" cried the boy, with passion.
4; "Ton would have to work. Ton
would nave to be chore boy in a lum
ber camp and play fiddle for tbe men
when they wanted you to."
"I'll do It" aald the cripple.
"AH right; then I'll take yon." re
plied Thorpe.
; Tbe cripple said nothing nor moved
muscle of his face, but tbe gleam of
the wolf faded to give place to tbe soft
affectionate glow seen In the eyes of a
setter dog. Thorpe waa startled at tbe
ehange. , , -.
A knock announced the sandwiches
and milk. Tbe cripple fell upon tbem
with both hands in a sudden ecstasy
ef hunger. When he had finished, he
looked again at Thorpe, and this time
there were tears in bis eyes.
, A little later Thorpe interviewed the
proprietor of the hotel. ;
"I wish yon'd give this boy a good
cheap, room and cburge his keep to
me." said he. "He's going north with
me."
Thorpe lay awake for some iliun aft
er retiring. Phil clahiu'd a share, of bit
thought In an honr or so he dwd.
He dreamed-that tbecrlpplo bad crown

shadowing his life. A s::lit nolw out

Tbe truth Is Shearer bad mmiaged
to Inspire lu the minds of bis cronies
nn Idea that they were about to par
ticipate in a fight Ho retold Thorpe's
story artistically. Tbe men oarerd that
the "young fellow bad sand enough
for a lake front." After that there
needed but a little skillful maneuver
ing to inspire tbem with tbe idea that
It would be a great thing to take a
band, to "muke a camp" In spite of the
big concern up river.
Shearer knew that this attitude was
tentative. Everything depended on
bow well Thorpe lived up to bis repu
tation at the outset But Tim himself
believed in Tborpe blindly. So be bad
no fears.
A little Incident at the beginning of
the voyage did much to reassure him.
Thorpe bad given orders that no
whisky was to be brought aboard.
Boon after leaving dock be saw one of
the teamsters drinking from a pint
flask. Without a word he stepped
briskly forward, snatched tbe bottle
from the man's lips and threw It over
board. Then he turned sharp on nil
heel and walked away without trou
bling himself as to how tbe fellow
was going to take It.
The occurrence pleased the men. for
It showed them they had made no mis
take. But it meant little else. The
chief danger really was lest they be
come too settled In the protective atti
tude. As they took it, they were about,
good nnturedly, to help along a worthy
greenhorn. This they considered ex
ceedingly generous on their part and
in their own mlnda they were inclined
to look on Tborpe mucb as a grown
man would look on a child.
Fine weather followed them up tbe
long blue reach of Lake Huron, Into
tbe noble breadth of the Detour pas
sage, past the opening through the
Thousand Islands of the Georgian bay,
into tbe St Mary's river. They were
Vocked through after some delay on ac
rount of the grain barges from Duluth
and at last turned their prow west

which lay Hiawatha's Po-ne-mab, the
Land of tbe Hereafter.
Next morning by daybreak every
man was at work. The hatches were

opened, and soon between-decks was
cambered with boxes, packing eases,
barrels and crates. In their Impro
vised stalls the patient horses seemed
to catch a hint of shore going and
whinnied. By 10 o'clock there loomed
against tbe strange coast lino of the
Pictured rocks a shallow bay and what
looked to be a dock distorted by tbe
northern mirage.
"That's bcr," aald the captain.
Two hours later tbe steamboat elld
between the yellow waters of two oat
lying reefs snd with slackened apeed
moved slowly toward the wharf of log
erlba filled witb stone.
Tborpe knew very well that the
structure bad been erected by and be
longed to Morrison se Daly, but tbe
young man bad bad tbe foresight to
purr base the land lying on the deep
water side of the bay. no therefore
anticipated no trouble In unloading, for,
while Morrison Daly owned tbe pier
Itself, the land on which It abutted be
longed to him.
From the arms of tbe bsy be eonld
make ont a dosen figures standing Bear
tbo end of tbe wharf. When, with pro
peller reversed, the Pole Star bore
slowly down toward bar moorings,
Thorpe recognised Dyer at the bead of
eigbt or tea woodsmen. It looked sus
picious. "Catcb this Uner song eat the mate,

Ko one moved, and tbe little rope aft

Tbe captain, with a curse, signaled

He alighted squarely apoa bis feet.
WKteot sa Instant's best tattoo be
raahed oa Dyer snd with oae fall, clean
la-blow stretched hlai staBssd oa tbe
dock. For a aMfneat there was a pease
of astonishment Tboa the woodsmen
Darlag that Jaetaat Tborpe bad be-
esme aoaseaaed of a weapon. It eaate

ealealatloa of the pioneer, naa eeeo
that H weald be Impoaalblo to follow
ate chief and ao bad done tbe aext beet
thlag. throwa bla a heavy trow belay-
Tborpe bit witb all bla strength and
quickness. He was conscious once of
being on the point of defeat Then be
had cleared a little space for himself.
Then tbe men were on blm again more
aavagely than ever. One fellow even
succeeded in hitting blm a glancing
blow on tbe shoulder.
Then came a sudden craah. Tborpe
was nearly thrown from his feet. The
aext Instant a score of yelling men
leaped behind and all around him.
There ensued a moment'a scuffle, the
sound of dull blows, and the dock was
clear of all but Dyer and three others
who were, like himself, unconscious.
Tbe caotaln. yielding to the excitement
bad run his prow piump against tno
wharf.
Some of the crew received the moor
ing lines. All was ready for disem
barkation. Bryan Uolouey, a strapping Irish
American of tbe big boned, red cheek
ed type, threw some water over the
four stunned combatant. Slowly they
came to life. They were promptly
yanked to their feet by tbe Irate river
men, who commenced at once to be
stow sundry vigorous kicks and shak
ings by way of punishment Thorpe
interposed.
"Quit if be commanded. "Let tbem
go."
The men grumbled. One or two were
Inclined to be openly rebellious.
"If I bear another peep out of you,"
said Thorpe to these latter, "you can
climb right aboard and take the re
turn trip." He looked tbem In tbe eye
until they muttered and then went on:
"Now, we've got to get unloaded and
our goods ashore before those fellows
report to camp. Get right moving and
bustler'
So Dyer and his men picked them
selves out of tbe trouble sullenly and
departed. Tbe ex-scaler bad nothing
to Bay aa long as he waa wltbtn reach,
but when he bad gained tbe shore be
turned.
"You won't think this Is so funny
when you get in the law courts I" be
shouted.
Thorpe made no reply.
With thirty men at tbe Job it does
not take a great while to move a small
cargo thirty or forty feet By 8 o'clock
the Pole Star waa ready to continue
her Journey. Thorpe climbed aboard,
leaving Shearer in charge.
"Keep tbe men at it Tim." said he.
"Put up the walls of the warehouse
good and strong and move tbe atnlf in.
If you get through before I return you
might take a scout up the river and fix
on a camp alte. I'll bring back the
lumber for roofs, floors ana trimmings
witb me and will try to pick up a few
axmen for swamping. Tbose fellows
won't bother us any more for the pres
ent I think. But it pays to be on deck.
So long."
When Tborpe returned to tbe bay be
found tbe warehouse complete. Shearer
and Andrews, the surveyor, were
scouting up tbe river.
"No trouble from above, boysT ask
ed Tborpe.
"Nary trouble," they replied.
Tbo warehouse waa secured by pad
locks, tbe wagon loaded with tbe tent
and the necessaries of life snd work.
Early In the morning the processlon
laugbing, Joking, skylarklng-took Its
way up tbe river trail Late that even
ing, tired, bnt still inclined to mis
chief, they came to tbe first dam,
where Shearer snd Andrews met them.
"How do yoa like It TlmT asked
Tborpe that evening.
"She's all right" replied the river
man, with emphasis, which for blm
was putting It strong.
At noon the following dsy the party
arrived at the second dam. Hers
Shearer bad decided to build tbe per
manent camp. Injun Charley was con
structing one of bis endless series of
birch bark canoes. Later be would
paddle tbe whole string to Marquette,
where be would sell tbem to a bard
ware dealer for f ZfiO apiece.
Injun Charley looked ap and grunted
as Tborpe approached.
"How are yoa, Chsrlesr greeted
Tborpe reticently.
"Toa gettom plnef Good!" replied
Charley in tbe same tone.
CHAPTER XYIL
WO months passed away. Win
ter set In, Tbe camp was
built and Inhabited. Routine
bad established Itself, snd all
was going welL
The first move or tno at- at u. com
hai Imh an. of conciliation.
Thorpe wsa approached by tbe walking
boss of tbe camps, up river. Tbe man
did not pretend any bypocrltlcaUrlend
sblp for tbe younger firm. His propo
sition was entirely one or muraai au
vanUr. Tb. company bad gone to
considerable expense ia constructing
tbe pier of stone cribs. It would do
bnnnaaihte far the steamer to land at
any other point Tborpe bad undisput
ed possession or too snore, out m com
pany could as inaispataDiy remove um
dock. Let It stay where It wsa. Both
companies eoold then use It for their
mutual convenience. To this Tborpe
agreed.
Tbe actual logging wss opening ap
welL Both Shearer and Tboiperaed
that It would not do to be too annoloos
tbe first year. They set about clearing
tbelr banking ground a boot half a mile
KiMT tha flrat dam. and dnrlna the Six
weeks before snowfall eat three abort
roads of half a mile encn. Approx-
tatel ".MMMO fast WOBld be DUt la
from tbose roads, which eoold be ex

the leading from Its Immediate vicinity.
"Hext year,- bbm ho, -weu pi
ofljoOAOO. That railroad H get along
ways by thee, aad asea n ae aro
plenty."
Through tbe lengthening evenings
tbey sat erooebed oa wooden boxes
either side of the stove, coaveramg
...to mHm at aa ana with a stead?
peraWency which was only aa outward
todJcatJoa or tno p-rsisinT
which tbelr minds held to tbe work la
aaad. Tim, tbe older at tbe baslnssa,
shewed this trait more strengty thaa
Tfciaiia TKa aLl Ui thOBCht Of BOrb-
tsg bat logging. Nothing was too small
teeeeapebfeenbmttscronny. now
rog waste so perfect a state that It did
not boar one more inapecooa. am
played tbe logging as a caeas player
ate game.
Ia the awe's camp tbe crew loanged,
taoked. danced or played cards. Ia
Umm. days ao oae thought ef forbkV
dlag gambling. Ooe evening Thorpe
who bad beoa too bony to remember
PhtTa vtalla. strolled ever aad looked
through the window. A daace was to
progress. The men were wnlt7.lnr.
whirling solemnly round and round,
gripping Hrmly . onch other's loose
sleeves Jimt above tlie elbow. At every
third step of l lie wnlt they stumped
oue foot.
1'erched on a wicker box snt Phil.
HIh bead m-hh tiinist forward utmost
aggressively over tiltt lustrum ent. mid
his eyea gin red ul the duncing men
with the old wolfllke gleam. Ah he
pluyert he drew tlie bow across with a
swift Jerk, thrust It bark with another,
threw IiIh shoulder from one side to
tbe other In abrupt time to tbe munlc.
And the mimic! Thorpe unconsciously.
shuddered, then sighed In pity. It was
atrocious! It waa nut even In tune.
Tbe performer seemed to grind it out
with a fierce delight. In wblch appear
ed little of tbe R'dtlietlc pleasure of
the artist Thorpe was at a loss to de
fine It
'Toor rbll!" he said to himself. "He
hss tbe musical soul without even the
musical ear."
Next day. while passing out of the
cook camp, be addressed one of the
men.
"Well, Billy," he inquired, "how do
you like your fiddler?"
"All right." replied Billy, with em
phasis. "She's got some go to 'her."
Tbe work proceeded finely, and yet
tbe young lumberman bad sense
enough to know that while n crew
such as this Is supremely effective it
requires careful handling to keep It
good humored and willing. He knew
every niun by his first name and each
day made It a point to talk with htm
for a moment or so. Tbe subject was
Invariably some phase of tbe work.
Thorpe never permitted himself the fa
miliarity of Introducing any other topic.
He uever replied directly to an objec
tion or a request, but listened to It uon
conimlttiilly and later, without expla
nation or reasoning, acted as bis Judg
ment dictated. Even Bhearerf with
whom he was In most Intimate contact,
respected this trait In blm. Gradually
he came to feel that he was making a
way with his men. It was a status not
assured as yet nor ever very firm, but a
status for all tlint.
Then one day one of tbe best men, a
teamster, came In to make some objec
tion to the cooking. As a matter of
fact, the cooking waa perfectly good,
but tbe lumber Jack Is a great band to
growl, and be usually begins with bis
food.
Thorpe listened to bis vague objec
tions In silence.
"All right." be remarked simply.
Next day be touched tbe man on the
shoulder Just as he was starting to
work.
"Step Into tbe office and get your
time," aald be.
"Wbat'e the matterf asked the man.
"I don't need you any longer."
The two entered tbe little office.
Tborpe looked through the ledger and
van book and finally banded tbe man
bla slip. ...... ,
"I'll bave no growlers In this camp,"
sold Tborpe, with decision.
"By thunder," cried tbe man, "you"-
"Tou got out of here!" cried Thorpe,
with a concentrated blase 'of energetic
passion that made tbe fellow step back.
"I ain't goln' to get on the wrong
aide of the law by foolln' with tills
office" cried the other at the door, "but
If I hsd yon outside for a minute"
"Leave this otllcer shouted Thorpe.

suspended by ribbons In the same
