Aa long as the work wi done for some one else be was ca pable and efficient. Only when be wis called npon to demand on his own ac count did the paralyzing ahypess affect him, . . , . But the one feature that did more to attract the very best element among Woodsmen was Camp One. Old woods men will still tell you about It, with a longing reminiscent glimmer in the corners of their eyes as they recall Its glories and the men who worked In It To bare "put In" a winter In Camp One was the mark of a master and the ambition of every raw recruit to the forest . , But Camp One was a privilege. A man entered - It only ' after ' having proved himself; be remained In It only as long aa his efficiency deserved the honor. Its members ' were Invariably recruited from one -of the other four camps, never from applicants who had not been In Thorpe's employ. So Bheareriwas foreman of a picked crew. 'Probably no liner body of men was ever gathered at one camp. Borne of them had the reputation of being the hardest citizens in three states; others were mild as turtledoves. They were all pioneers. , They had the inde pendence,' the unabashed eye, the In subordination even, of the man who has drawn bis Intellectual and moral nourishment at the breast of a wild nature. ' -They were afraid of nothing alive. From no one, were he chore boy or president, would tbey take a single word, with the exception always of Tim Shearer and Thorpe. K v: . ; And they were loyal. It was a point of honor with them to stay "until the last dog was bang."

' financially 'the company was rated high and yet waa heavily in debt This condition of affairs by no mean con stitute an anomaly in the lumbering business. : . . . The profits of the first five years bad been Immediately reinvested In the business. Thorpe intended to establish In a few years more a big plant which would be returning benefice In pro portion not only to the capital original ly invested, but also In ratio to the en ergy. -time and genlua he bad himself expended. , - Every autumn the company found It self suddenly in easy circumstances. At any moment that Thorpe had cho sen to be content with the progress made be could have, so to speak, de clared dividends with his partner. ' In stead of undertaking more Improve ments, for part of which he borrowed some money, he could have divided the profit of the season' cut But this be wa not yet ready to do. " - He bad established five more camp; he bad acquired over 150,000,000 more of timber lying contiguous to bis own; he bad built and equipped a modern high efficiency mill; be had constructed a harbor breakwater and the neces sary booms; he bad bought a tug; built a boarding bouse. ; AH this cost mon ey.' He wished now to construct a log ging railroad. Then be promised" him self and Wallace that they would be ready to commence paying operations. He had made all the estlmatea and even the preliminary survey. .He waa therefore the more grievously disap pointed when Wallace Carpenter made It Impossible for him to do so. It was about the middle of July. He was sitting back Idly In the clean painted mill office with the big square desk and the three cbn Irs. Through the door he could see Collins perched on a high, stool before the shelf-like desk. From the open window came the clear, musical note of the circular saw. the fresh, aromatic smell of new lum ber, the bracing air from Superior spar kling In the offing. ' He felt tired. In rare momenta such a these, when the muscles of his striving relaxed, bis mind turned to the past Old sorrows rose before lit in and looked atbtm with their sad eyes. He wondered where hie sister was. . She wor.ld In- -twenty-two year old now. A tenderness, haunting, tearful. Invaded hl lienrt At such momenta the, bard shell of his rough woods life seemVd to rend apart. He longed with a great longing for sympathy, for lore. 1 - The outer door, beyond the cage be hind which Collin and his shelf desk were placed, flew opeu; Thorpe heard a brief greeting, and Wallace- Carpen ter stood befqre blm. -Why.

Then are happiness and misery beside which the mere struggle to dominate men De come trivial, the petty striving with the forces of nature a little thing, and the woman be at that time meets 1 more than a woman; she I the best of that man made visible. Thorpe found himself for the first time filled with the spirit of restless ness. His customary Iron evenness of temper waa gone, so that be wandered quickly from one detail of his work to another without seeming to penetrate below the surface need of any one task. But a week before be bad felt himself absorbed In the component parts of his enterprise. Now be was outside of it Thorpe took this state of mind much to heart and combated It Invariably be held himself to his task. By an effort, a tremendous effort, be succeeded In doing so. The effort left blm limp. He found himself often standing or mov ing gently, bis eyes staring sightless, his will chained so softly and yet so firmly that he felt no' Strength and hardly the desire to break from the dream that lulled blm. Then be wa conscious of tb physical warmth of the sun, the faint aweet wood smells, the soothing cares of the brees, the sleepy cicada-like not of 'the pine creeper. He wanted nothing so much as to sit on the pine needles there la the golden flood of radiance and dream dream oa vaguely, comfortably. sweetly. -Lord. Lord!" he cried impatiently. -What s coming to me? I must be a tit' tleoffmyfeedr ' And be hurried rapidly to bis duties. After an hour of the hardest concentra tion he had ever been required to be- a An m trivial snbleet he acain un consciously sank by degrees Into the old apathy. "fil.il It Isn't the busv season!" be commented to himself. "Here, I must aulttbia! Guess Irs tne warm weauer. I'll get down to the mm for a aay or two." There he found himself incapable of even the most petty routine work. He sat at hi desk at 8 o'clock and began the perusal of sheaf ef tters. The first three be read carefully, the follow ing two rather hurriedly, of the aext one be seised only tne salient and es sential points, tb seventh and eighth be skimmed, the remainder of the bun dle be thrust aside ia uncontrollable Impatience.

' nna mnre hla mental nroca became clear and Incisive, his command direct and to the point To an eutwara sp pearance Thorpe wa as before.

Things were going light It would be pitiful to fail merely on account of this Idiotic lassitude, this unmanly weak ness, this boyish Impatience and desire for play. He a woodsman! He a fellow with these big strong men! A slngl voice, clear and htgb, struck Into a quick measure: "I am a lolly shanty boy. As yon will soon discover; To all the dodgee I am fly, A bustling pin wood rover. ' A paavey hook It la my pride; An as I well ean handle; To tell a tree or punoh a bull Gat rattling Danny RandalL" And then, with a rattle and crash, the whole Fighting Forty shrieked out tb chorus: -Bung yer eye! Bung yer eysl" Active, alert, prepared for any emer gency that might arise; hearty, ready for everything, from punching bulls to felling trees that waa something like! Thorpe despised himself. The song went on: V "I love a girt In Baslnaw: 0h Uvea with bar mother. I defy all Michigan To And such another. ; he's tall and slim; her hair Is red; Her taee Is plump and pretty. She's my daisy Sunday bast-day 1rl, And her front name stands for Kitty." And again, as before, the Fighting Forty howled truculently: "Bung yer eyel Bung yr,eye!" The word were vulgar, the air a mere minor chant Tet Thorpe' mind waa stilled. His aroused subconscious ness bad been engaged In reconstruct ing these men entire as their songs voiced rudely the Inner characteristics of their beluga. Now his spirit halted. Their bravery,' pride of caste, resource, bravado, boastfulness all these b bad checked off approvingly. Here now waa the idea of the mate. Somewhere for acb of them was a -Kitty," a -daisy Sunday beat-day girl." At tb present or la the paat these woods roisterers, this Fighting Forty, bad known lov. Thorp rose abruptly and turned at random Into the forest Tb ong punned him as he went 1 took bar to a danee one night A mossbaek save tb bidding; ; Stiver Jaak bossed the shebang. And Big Daa played tb Addle. We daaeod and draak the Uvatoss sight - With Bants botwaaa the danalne, Till Silver Jaok cleaned out tb ranch And aent the moasbaek eTaneiag." And with tb Increasing war and turmoil of the quick water the last bout of tbs Fighting Forty mingled faintly and was lost -Bung yer eyel Bung yor eye!" Thorpe found himself at the edge of the woods facing a little glade Into which streamed tb radiance of a full moon. There be stood and looked silently, not understanding, not caring to In quire. Across the wsy a white-throat was singing, clear, beautiful. Ilk the shadow of a dream. The girl stood listening. - Her smslL fair head was inclined vr so llttl sideways, and bet finger wss on ber lips ss though she wished to still the very bush of night to which impression the inclination of ber sup ple body lent Its trace. The .moon light bon full upon ber countenance. A Htm white face It waa, With wide. clear eye and a tnsltlv, proud mouth that: Bow; bait parted Ilk a child's.

Thore held bis breath and waited. Again the white-throat lifted hla clear, spiritual note across the brightness, slow, trembling with ecstasy. The girl never moved. She stood In the moon light llko a beautiful emblem of si lence, half real, half fancy, part wo man, wholly divine, listening to tb little bird's message. For tbe third time the song shivered across tbe ulght; then Thorpe, with a soft sob, dropped his face In his hands and looked no more. CHAPTER XXII. m several daya this Impression satisfied trim completely. H did not attempt to analyse It; he did not even make on effort to contemplate It. Curiosity, specula tion, longiug all the more active emo tions remained In abeyance, while out wardly for three days Harry Thorpe occupied himself only with the needs of the Fighting Forty' at Camp One. He was vaguely conscious of a great peace within him. a great stillness of tbe spirit Little by little the condition changed. The man felt vague stirrings of curios ity. He speculated aimlessly aa to whether or not tbe glade, the moon light, tbe girl, had beeu real or merely the figment of Imagination. Almost Immediately the answer leaped at blm from bl heart. 'Since she was so cer tainly flesh and blood, whence did ahe 6uie? What waa she doing there tn the wilderness? His mind pushed the query aside aa unimportant, rushing eagerly to the essential point When could be see ber again! Hi placidity had gone. That morulng be made some vague excuse to Shearer and act out blindly down the river. And so, with out thought without clear intention even, be saw ber again. It waa near the "pole trail," which waa leaa Ilk a trail than a rail fence. When tbe anowa are deep and snow shoes not tb property of every mail who care to Journey, the old fashioned "pole trail" comes Into use. It 1 mere ly a series of horse built of timber, across w bleb thick Norway logs are laid about four feet from tbe ground to form a continuous pathway. In summer It resembles nothing so much aa a thick om rail fence of considera ble height, around which a fringe of Itffhr hniari haa rmwn. Thorpe reached tbe fringe of bushes and was about to aoag unaer me fannr when he saw her. So he stopped short, concealed by tb leave and the timber horse, ahe stood on a knoll to tbe middle of a grove of monster pines. There wa ometblng of tbe cathedral in tne spot The girl stood tall and straight among the tall, atralgbt pine Ilk a figure on an ancient tapestry. Sb was doing nothing-Just standing there but tbe awe of tbe forest was In ber wide, clear eyes. In a momant ab stirred slightly and turned. Drawing herself to ber full height she extended ber band over bar bead, palm outward, and with an Indescribably graceful gesture bowed a ceremonious sdleu to the solemn trees. Then, with a little laugh, ahe moved way In tbe direction of tb river. At one Thorp proved s great need of seeing her again. In bis present mood there was nothing of tbe awe stricken peace be bad experienced aft er the monnllirht adventure. He want ed tbe alght of her as be bad never wanted anything before. The strong ,iairl it And findlns It Impos sible be raged Inwardly and tore tbe tranquillities of bis heart So it happened that be ste hardly at all that day and slept III and dlsoov- mA tha emateat dilHcUllV In DISS!'- log the outward semblance of ease which tbe presence of Tim Sheerer and tbe Fighting Forty demanded. And next day be aaw ber again, and h. nt. haranoa the need of his heart demanded It and because, simply enough, sb cam every stiernoon 10 tb clump of pine by tb old pol trail. But now curiosity swok and a desire for something more, tie must a her. touch her band, look In to ber eye. He resolved to approach her, and tb mere thought cnosea mu and sent blm weak.
