It was al ways id anzloua spo', for river driver. The plunging of the log head-on over the fall had so gouged put the soft rock below that an eddy of great power had formed In the baaln. , Here, in spite of an efforts, the Jam had formed. The bed was completely filled, far above the level of the falls, by a tangle that defied the Jam crew's best efforts. The rear at once took the trail down the river. Thorpe and Shearer and Scotty Parsons looked over the ground. : . Without delay the entire crew was set to work. Nearly a hundred men can pick a great many logs in the course of a day. Several times the Jam started, but always "plugged" before the motion bad become Irresistible TV' "We'll have to shoot," Shearer re luctantly decided. The men were withdrawn. '' Scotty Parsons cut a sapling twelve feet long and trimmed it Big Junko thawed his dynamite at a little fire, opening the ends of the packages In order that the steam generated might escape. ; When the powder was warm, Scotty bonad twenty of the cartridges around the end of the sapling, adjusted a fuse in one of them and soaped the opening to exclude water. Then Big Junko thrust the long Javelin down into the depths of the Jam, leaving a thin stream of moke behind him as be turned away, zigzagging awkwardly over the Jam, the long, ridiculous tails of bis brown cutaway coat flopping behind bun as he leaped. A scant moment later the hoarse dynamite shouted. ' Great Chunks of timber shot to an In conceivable height- Entire logs lifted bodily into the air with the motion of a fish Jumping. A fountain of water gleamed against the sun and showered down In fine rain. ': The Jam shrugged and settled. That was all. The "shot" had .failed.: rh-- .-yr- J-,:. The men ran forward, examining cu riously the great bole In the log forma. tioit M - "Well have to flood her," said Thorpe. So all the gates of the dam were raised, and the torrent tried Its hand. It bad no effect Evidently the affair waa not one of violence, but of pa tience. The crew went doggedly, to work. f ' - Day after day the clank, clank, clink of the peaveys sounded with the regu larity of machinery. It waa cruel, hard work. A man who baa lifted his utmost strength Into a peavey, knows that Any but the Fightlngi JTorty would have grumbled. .. ";. . Collins, the bookkeeper, came up to view the tangle.. Later a photographer from Marquette took some views, and by the end of the week a number of curiosity seekers were driving over er. ery day to see the big Jam.

" .Five men were at the moment tug ging futilely at a reluctant timber. They were attempting to roil one end of it over the side of another projecting log, but were continually foiled, because the other end Was Jammed fast Each bent his knees, Inserting his shoulders under, the projecting peavey stocky to straighten ina mighty effort .' . lit was fine spring day,' dear eyed and crisp, with a hint of new foliage in the thick bods of the trees. .

Down the bed of the stream faom the upper bend rushed a solid wall of wa ter several feet high. - It flung Itself forward with the headlong impetus of s cascade. Even in the short interval between the visitor's exclamation and Carpenter's rapid gesture It had loomed in eight twisted a docen trees from the river bank and foamed into the en trance of the gorge. An Instant later it collided with the tail of the Jam. Even in the railroad rush of those few moments several things happened. Thorpe leaped for a rope. The crew working on top of the dam ducked Instinctively to right and left and be gan to scramble toward safety. The men below, at first bewildered and not comprehending, finally understood and ran toward the face of the Jam with the intention of cluuibei lng up It .There could be no escape In the narrow can yon below, the walls of which abeer. Then the flood bit square. A great sheet of water rose ' like surf from the tall of the Jam; a mighty cuUract pour ed -down over Its surface, lifting the free; togs; from either wing timbers crunched, split rose . suddenly into Wracked prominence, twisted beyond the- semblance of themselves. Here and. there-single logs" were even pro jected bodily upward, as an apple seed Is shot from between the thumb and forefinger. " Then the Jam moved. : Scotty 2 Parsons, Jack Hyland, Bed Jacket and the forty or fifty men had reached the shore. .- By the wriggling activity which is n river man's alone they, succeeded In pulling themselves beyond the snap of death's Jaws. It Was a harrow thing for most of them and a miracle for some. - ; " , jimmy Powers, Archie Harris, Long Pine Jim, : Big Nolan and M&e Mo loney, the brother of Bryan, were in worse case They were, as has been said, engaged In "flattening" part of the Jam about eight or ten rods below the face of It When 'they Anally un derstood that the affair waa one of escape, they ran toward the Jam, hop ing to climb out Then the csjasb came.

AH bnt Jimmy Powers. Ho stopped short In his tracks and throw his bat tend old felt bat defiantly fsU Into the face of the destruction banging over him. Then, hla bright hair blowing In the wind of death, be turned to the spectator standing helpless and para lysed forty feet above him. Jt waa an Instant's Impression the arrested motion seen to the flaen of lightning a Dd yet to the onlookers It bad somehow the aoallty of time, for perceptible duration It seemed to tkess they stared at the contrast between the raging hell above and the yet poses sbie river below. i.fec-aftorwsrd, when tbey attorsptos to recall definitely the Impression, tbey knew It could have lasted bnt a frac tion of a second. "So long, boys!" tbey beard Jimmy Powers' voice.

"There to something criminal about tt to mei I'd rather lose every log in the rlvcrl" . Thorpe looked at him curiously.

"Tour men won't work. Td refuse Just ss they will!" cried Carpenter, bis sensibilities still suffering. Thorpe smiled proudly. "Ton do not know them.'' "By, Jove!" cried the Journalist In sodden enthusiasm "By Jove, that Is magnlflcentr " .The men on the river crew had crouched on their narrow footholds while tbJ Jam went ont Each had clung to his peavey, as Is the habit of river men. Down the current past their feet swept the debris of flood. Soon togs began to swirl byt first few, then many from the remaining railways which th river had automat ically broken. In a little time the eddy caught np some of these logs, snd Im mediately another jam threatened. The river men. without hesitation, aa calm ly as though catastrophe bad not thrown the weight of its moral terror against their stoicism, sprang, peavey in hand, to the Insistent work. Thorpe's face lit with gratification. He turned to the young man. -"Ton see," be said to proud simplicity, With the added danger of freshet wa ter, the work went on. At this moment Tun Shearer ap proached from Inland, hla clothe drip. ping wet bat his face retaining Its ha bitual expression of Iron calmness.

"I reckon you'd better mosey," Shear er dryly advised the dam watcber, and followed. Late In the afternoon the two men reached Dam Three, or, rather, the spot on which Dam Three had stood. The asms spectacle repeated Itself here, ex cept that Ellis, the dam watcber, was nowhere to be seen. "Tb dirty whelpsr cried Thorps, "They did a good Job I" He thrashed about her and there and so came across Ellis blindfolded snd tied.

A few minute later the cookee scattered the brand of the fire from before a sleeping camp. Before daylight Injun Charley drift ed Into camp to find Thorpe already out. With a curt nod the Indian seat ed himself by the fire and, producing a aquare plug of tobacco and a knife, began leisurely to fill 111 pipe. Finally Injun Charley spoke tn the red man' clear cut, imitative English, a pause between each sentence. "I find trail three men," said he. "Both dam. three men. On man go down river. Those men have cork boot One man no have cork boot He bora." The Indian suddenly threw bis chin out bis bead back, and half closed hi eye In a cynical squint. As by a flash Dyer, the scaler, leered Insolently from behind tbe Indian's stolid mask. "How do you know?" said Thorpe. For answer the Indian threw bis shoulders forward In Dyer's nervous fashion. "He make troll big by tbe toe, light by the heel. He make trail blg-on In side." Charley arose and walked after Dy er springy faabion, illustrating bis point in the soft wood tube of the immediate fireside. . Thorpe looked doubtful. "I believe you are right Charley," aald he. "But it la mighty little to go on. Tou can't be sure." ; "I sure." replied Charley. He puffed atrongly at tbe heel of his smoke, then arose and without farewell disappeared In the forest. Then began the wonderful struggle against circumstance which ha be come a byword among river men every where. A forty day drive had to go out in ten. A freshet bad to float out 30.000.0no feet of logs. It was tremen dous. Fourteen, sixteen, sometimes eighteen hours a day tbe men of the driving crew worked like demons. Jams bad no chance to form. Of course under the pressure the lower dam bad gone out.. Nothing was to be depended on but sheer dogged grit Far np river Sadler & Smith bad hung their drive for the season, and so bad resigned themselves to a definite bat hWwxtraordlnary loss. Thorpe bad al least a clear river. Wallace Carpenter could not under stand bow human flesh and blood en dared. Tbe men themselves bad long sine reached tbe point of practical exhaustion, but were carried through bv the fir of their leader. Work was dogged until- be stormed Into tight; then it became frenzied. When be looked at a man from bis cavernous, burning eye, that man Jumped. Impossibilities were puffed aside Ilk thistles. The men went at them heart long. Tbey gave way before tbe rush.
