"f don't want to see you around here
agalq!" abouted Thorpe after blm.
Then In a moment he returned to the
office and sot down, overcome with con
trition. . V :..
"It might have been murder," be told
himself, awe stricken.
But. as It happened, nothing could
have turned out better. ;
Tborpe bad Instinctively seised the
only method by which these strong
men could be Impressed. Now the en
tire crew looked with vast admiration
on their boss as a man who Intended to
have his own way no matter what dif
ficulties, or consequences might tend to
deter him. And that ia the kind of man
they liked. ;
Injun Charley, silent and enigmatical
aa ever, bad constructed a log aback
near a little creek In the hard wood
There be attended diligently to the
business of trapping. . Thorpe rarely
fonnd time' to visit him, but be often
glided Into the office, amoked a pipeful
of the white man's tobacco In friendly
fashion by the stove and glided out
again without having spoken a doaen
words. -
Wallace made one visit before the
big snows came, and was charmed. He
ate with gusto of the "salt horse,'
baked beans, stewed prunes, mince pie
and cakes. He tramped around gayly
In his moccasins or on the fancy snow
shoes he promptly purchased of Injun
Charley. There was nothing new to
report in regard to financial matters.
The loan bad been negotiated easily on
the basis of a mortgage guaranteed- by
Carpenter's personal signature. -Nothing
bad been beard from Morrison ft
Daly.
By the end of the winter some 4,000,
000 feet of log were piled In the bed or
upon the banks of the stream., To un
derstand what that means you , must

, On the Ossawinamakee, aa haa been
stated, three dams bad been erected to
simplify the process of drivings When
the logs were In right distribution tha
gates were raised, and the proper bead
sf water floated them down, ;:
Now. the river being, navigable,'
Thorpe was possessed of certain right
on it Technically be was entitled to a:
normal bead of water; whenever he
needed It or a special head, according
to agreement with tha paIs owning
the dam. Early In the drive; be found,
that Morrison ft Daly Intended to cause
blm trouble. It began In a narrows of
the river between- high, rocky banks.
Thorpe's ! drive was floating though,
"Close packed. The situation was tle-j

- Then It was a question of breaking
the Jam. This bad to be dona by pull

beer will of bristling logs, behind
which pressed the weight of the rising
waters and backed and tugged calmly
until the maaa begaa to stir. Then
they escaped. A moment later, with a
roar, the Jam vomited down on the
pot where they bad stood. It waa
dangerous work. Just on half day
later It bad to be done again and for
the same reason.
This tune Tborpe went back wttb

In a moment the man entered the of

"You betr answered Scotty. with
enthusiasm.
"All right," concluded Thorpe,
Next day Scotty established himself,
ta had been agreed. ..He did not need

down to investigate the state of af
fairs. He attempted . to parley, but
Scotty would have none of it,
"Get out!" waa. bis first and last
word. . ' : - : .
At the mouth of the river booms of
logs chained together, at the end. bd
been prepared. Into the Inclosnre the
drive Waa floated and stopped. Then a
raft was formed by passing new ma
ul la ropes over the logs, to each one
of which the line waa fastened by a
hardwood forked pin driven astride ef

Now Thorpe w.s summoned legally J
on two counts. - First Judge enerman
cited blm for contempt of court; sec
ond, Morrison ft Daly sued blm for al
leged damages In obstructing their
drive for holding open the dam sluice
beyond the legal bead of water.
V CHAPTEQ XVHL
ENDING the call of trial Tborpe
took a three weeks' vacation to
visit bis sister.- Time, filled
with excitement and. responsi
bility, bad erased from bis mind the
bitterness of their parting. ." Now be
found himself so Impatient that be
could hardly wait to get there.
He learned on his arrival that she
waa aot at borne, lira. Ren wick proved
not. nearly so cordial as the year be
fore, but Tborpe. absorbed in bis aa
gerneea. did not notice It Mrs. Ben
wlck thought Helen bad gone over to
the Hnghesee. ' '.-
Tborpe found the Hugbee residence
without difficulty and turned up the
straight. walk to the reranda. On the
steps of the Utter a rug bad been
spread. A doaen youths and. maidens
lounged on Its eoft aurface. Tborpe,
aa be approached the light from a tall

vainly trying to make out the figures
before blm.

atowly beneath the breed leaved s

-How have yon done. Harry T" aha

hip
"Pretty well," he replied. "If things
go right I hope some day to have a
better pluce for you than this."
Her heart contracted suddenly. It
was all she could do to keep from
bursting Into tears. The Indeflnlteneiw
of bis answer exasperated ber and till
ed ber with sullen despair. 8 be said
nothing for twenty steps. Then:
"Harry." she said quietly, "can you
take me away from Mrs. Benwlck's?"
"I don't know, Helen. I can't tell
yet Not Just now, at any rate."
"Harry," she cried, "you don't know
what you're doing. I tell you I can't
stand Mrs. Renwlck any longer. 1
know you've worked bard and that
you'd give me more if you could. Hut
so have I worked bard. Now we ought
to change this In some way. I can get a
position as teacher or some other work
somewhere. Won't you let me do that)"
Thorpe was thinking that it would be
easy enough to obtain Wallace Carpen
ter's consent to bis taking 11,000 from
the profits of the year. But be knew
also that the struggle . in the courts
might need every cent the new com
pany could spare. It would look much
better were be to wait until after the
verdict. If favorable, there would be no
difficulty about sparing the money. If
adverse, there would be no money to
spare. And so until the thing was ab
solutely certain be hesitated to explain
the situation to Helen for fear of dis
appointing her.
"I think you'd better wait Helen,"
aid be. "There 'II be time enough for
all that later when it becomes neces
sary." . "And in the meantime stay with Mrs.
Ben wick?" flashed Helen.
"Yes. I hope it will not have to be for
very long."
. "How long do you think, Harry T'
pleaded the girl.
. "That depends on circumstances," re
plied Tborpe.
"Oh!" she cried Indignantly.
"Harry," she ventured after a time,
"why not write to Uncle Amos? His
wanting ua to come to him seems to me
very generous."
"You will do nothing of the kind."
commanded Thorpe sternly. "Amos
Tborpe la an unscrupulous man wbo
became unscrupulously rich. He delib
erately used our father as a tool and
then destroyed blm. I consider that
any one of oar family wbo would have
anything to do with blm Is a traitor!"
The girl did not reply.
Next morning Tborpe felt uneasily
repentant for bis strong language. Aft
er all, the girl did lead a monotonous
life, and be could not blame ber for re
belling against it from time to time.
Her remarks bad been born of tbe re
bellion; they bad meant nothing In
themselves. He could not doubt for a
moment ber loyalty to tbe family. .
That night be wrote Wallace Carpen
ter for f 1.000.
Wallace Carpenter was not in town.
Before tbe letter bad followed him to
his new address and the answer bsd
returned a week bad passed. Of course
tbe money waa gladly put at Thorpe's
disposal. Tbe. latter at once Inter
viewed bis sister.
"Helen," he said, "I have made ar
rangements for some money. What
would you like to do thia yearr
She raised her bead and looked at
blm with clear, bright gate. If he
could so easily raise tbe money, why
bad be not done so before? He knew
how much she wanted It Her happi
ness did not count Only when bis
quixotic Ideas of family honor were at
tacked did be bestir himself.
. "I am going to Uncle Amos'," she re
plied distinctly.
"What?" aaked Tborpe Incredulously.
for answer she pointed to a letter ly
ing on tbe table. Tborpe took It and
read: ; .

"You may take your choice, Helen,"
be aald formally. "If yon go into tbe
household of Amos Tborpe, If you de
liberately prefer your comfort to your
honor, we will have nothing more In
common."
They faced each other with the cool,
deadly glance of tbe race, so similar In
appearance, but so unlike in nature.
"I, too, offer you a borne, auch aa it
Is," repeated the man. "Cboose."-
At tbe mention of the home for which
means were so quickly, forthcoming
when Tborpe, not she, considered It
needful, the girl's eyes flashed. She
stooped and dragged violently from be
neath tbe bed a flat steamer trunk, tbe
lid of which she threw open. A dress
lay on tbe bed. With a One gesture she
folded tbe garment and laid it In tbe
bottom of tbe trunk. Then she knelt
and without another glance at ber

gan feverishly to arrange the folds.
Tbe choice waa made. He turned and
went out.
CHAPTER XIX.
ITU Thorpe there could be no
halfway measure. He saw that
the rupture with bis sister was
final, and tbe throat attacked
him In one of bis few unprotected
points. At first the spring of bis life
seemed broken. He did not care for
money, and at present disappointment
bod numbed bis Interest In tbe game.
It seemed hardly worth tbe candle.
Then In a few days be began to look
about blm mentally. Unconsciously tbe
combative Instinct was aroused. In
lack of otber object on which to expend
Itself Thorpe's fighting spirit turned
with energy to tbe subject of tbe law
suit After bis sister left tbe Benwicks
Tborpe himself went to Detroit, where
be interviewed -at once Northrop, tbe
brilliant young lawyer whom the firm
bad engaged to defend Its case,
"I'm afraid we bare no abow," be re
plied to Thorpe's question. "You see,
you fellows were on tbe wrong side of
the fence In trying to enforce the law
yourselves. Of course you may well
say that Justice was all on your side.
That does not count Tbe only recourse
recognized for Injustice Ilea In the law
courts. I'm afraid yon are duo to lose
yonr case."
"Well," said Tborpe. "they can't
prove much damage.'! .
"I don't expect that they will be able
to procure a very heavy Judgment" re
plied Northrop. "The facta I Shalt be
able to adduce will cut down damages.
But tbe costs will be very heavy."
"Yes," agreed Thorpe.
"And," then pursued Northrop, with
a dry smile, "they practically own
Sherman. Yon may be In for contempt
of court at their Instigation. As I un
derstand It they are trying rather to
Injure you than to get anything out of
It themselves."
"That a It," nodded Tborpe.
"In otber words. If a a ease for com
promise." "Just what r wanted to get at" sold
Tborpe, with satisfaction. "Now an
swer me a question. Suppose a man
Injures government or state land by
trespass. Tbe land Is afterward bought
by another party. Has tbe Utter any
claim for damage against tbe trespass
er? Understand me, tbe purchaser
bought after tbe trespese waa commit
ted." "Certainly," answered Northrop with
out hesitation, "provided eult Is brought
within six years of the time tbe tres
pass wa. committed." .
"Good! Now, eee here. These M. ft
D. people stole about a section of gov
ernment nine tip on that river, and I
don't believe they've over bought In
tbe Mad it stood ee. In fact I don't

ETVF. year, imsxnl. In tlmt t me
ThorTM hml .neeeetled in cMtliiR
100.(100.000 f.'Pt of pint-. . The
money received for till, had all
been turned back into (he eoiupnny's
funds. From a .Inj-'h' -Miiit of twenty
five men the concern Inid Increased to
six large, well equipped communities
of 80 to 100 men apiece, using nearly
300 horses and hauling as far as eight
or nine miles.
Near the port stood a mammoth saw
mill capable of taking care-of 22,000,;
000 feet a year, alxmt which a lumber
town had sprung up. Besides Its orig
inal holding the company bad acquired
about 150,000,000 more back near tbe
headwater, of the Otwawlnamakee.
During tbe four years In which the
Morrison ft Daly company shared the
stream with Thon the two firms
lived in complete amity and under
standing. Northrop had played bis
card, skillfully. The older capitalist,
had withdrawn suit Afterward they
kept .crupulou.ly within their rights
and saw to It that no more careless
openlnjr were left for Thorpe's
shrewdness.
And a. the younger man on Ills side
nover attempted to overstep bis own
rights the interests of the rival firms
rarely clashed. As to the few disputes
that did arise Tborpe found Mr. Daly
singularly anxious to please. In the
desire was no friendliness, however.
Thorpe was watchful for treachery
and could hardly believe the affair
finished when at the end of tbe fourth
year tbe M. ft D. transferred Its op
erations to another .tream a few miles
east.
"They're altogether too confounded
anxlou. to help us on that freight,
Wallace." aald Thorpe, wrinkling bis
brow uneasily. "1 don't like It. It
Isn't natural."
Thorpe's Camp One was celebrated
In three states. Tborpe had set out to
gather around him a band of good
woodsmen. Except on a pinch be
would employ no others.
"I don't care If I get In only 2,000
feet this winter, and if a boy does
that," be answered Shearer's expostu
lations, "If. got to be a good boy."
Tbe result of bis policy began to show
even in tbe second year. Men were a
little proud to say that they bad put In
A winter at "Thorps' One." Those who
bad worked there during the lint year
were loyally enthusiastic As they'were
authorities others perforce bad to ac
cept tbe dictum. There grew a desire
among the better class to see what,
"Thorpe's One" might be like. In the
autumn Harry had more applicants
than be knew what to do with. Eight
een of the old nien returned, lie took
them all, but when It einne to distribu
tion three found theiiiHelve4rlned
to one or the other of the new camp.
And quietly the rumor gained that
these three had shown the least willing
spirit daring the previous winter.

ONE WAY TO MOVE.
,
P"" Bstter In ths End ThanJoina
From Hous. to Houte.
The C'odmar.s were planning to
move. They were going to occupy
a new house in a somewhat select
neighborhood and frere anxious to
make a good beginning, a favorable
impression. JSew furniture would
have helped, but there wag not much
money to spare, so they must make
the most of what they had.
"I can improve the looks of that
old sofa for one thing, - said Mr.
L'odnmn meditatively. "I've been
meaning for a long lime to cobble
that back, but it h ciisv to neglect
euch chores, you know, unless some
thing like this coined up to kind of
give you a start.
"I know," .M.ris. C'odman answer
ed. "Then there's that sideboard
drawer without a handle and those
loose brackets on the hall stand and
screws lacking, as you might say,
here and there all over the- house.
You patch, and the girls and I will
poliHii, and we shan t be ashamed
lo sec the furniture on the wagons."
That win the beginning. The end
seemed far oil", when .Mr. Codmnn,
having successfully tinkered the fur
niture that was in sight and use,
dived into the attic and, with fre
quent repetitions, raised the ques
tion, "Wnat are we going to do with
this?"
"Thia" was as often as not some
piece that had been nut away to
await small repairs Hint might save
it to usefulness, air. todman made
the repairs now, and the rest of the
family played thpir parts at uphol
stering and varnishing and polish
ing. They quito fell in love with the
results.
Toward the lust of this period of
reconstruction generous Mrs. Cod
man cleaned house in order that, as
she expressed it, the next tenant
might "start fuir." When every
thing was spick and span and shin
ing the family gathered their new
old possessions and disposed them
in the most effective places, "just
to see how it would look." There
were many chances for rearrange
ment becanse there was so much
material. The Codmnns wondered
that they had never realized their
riches.
Then the blow fell. Yet, strange
ly enough, Mr. Codman almost smil
ed as he told the news.-
"Guess we won't move yet awhile,"
he said. "Jerris has sold the new
house sold it right out from under
us. lie glanced around tho circle
to note the elrcct or his communica
tion. "I don't care," said Mrs, Codman
placidly.
"Well, to tell thu truth, I'm
elad." Mr. Codman confessed. "I
don't believe wo could find a placel
that would seem so much like home
to us. Then, again," ho added
proudly, "we'vo got a lot of nice
furniture, and we wouldn't want to
have it smashed up."
"I'vo been thinking, John," said
Mrs. Codman, 'Hhat I don't know
as I shall ever want to movo unless
we get burned out. I've been learn
ing how to gain all tho advantages
of moving without any of tho dis
advantages. It's just to fix up tho
furniture and change it around."
