The men worked by the light of torches, which were ofteu merely catchup Jugs with wlcklng In the necks. Nothing could be more picturesque than n teamster conducting one of bis great pyramid leal loads over the little liiciiuulltlcs of ' the road, In tho ticklish places stand ing atop with the bent knee of the Ho man cbnrlotecr, spying and forestall ing the chances of the way with a fixed eye and an Intense concentration thnt relaxed not one inch In the miles of the haul. Thorpe had become n full ' Hedged cant book man. Ho liked the work. There Is about It a skill that fascinates. A man grips suddenly with the book of his Ntroiig Instrument, stopping one end that the other may slide. He thrusts the short, strong stock between the log and the skid, allowing It to be overrun. lie stops the roll with a sudden sure grasp applied nt Just the right moment to be effective. Sometimes he allows himself to be carried up bodily, clinging to the cant hook like an acrobat to a bar, un til the log has rolled once, when, his weapon loosened, he drops lightly, eas ily to tho ground. And It Is excltlug to pile the logs on the 'sleigh, first n layer' of Ave, say; then one of four smaller, of but three, of two, until nt the very apex the last Is dragged slowly up the skids, poised and Just as It Is about to plunge down the other side Is gripped and held Inexorably by the little men j In blue flannel shirts. Clinlns bind the loads. And If ever during the loading or afterward when tho sleigh 1a. In motion the weight of the logs causes the pyramid to break down and S(unsli out, then woe to the driver or whoever happens to be near. For this reason the loaders are picked and careful men. At tho banking grounds, which lie In and about the bed of the river, the logs arc piled Into a gigantic skldwoy to nwalt the spring freshets, which will carry them down stream to the "boom." In that lnclosure they remain until sawed In the mill. Thorpe, In common with the other men, had thought Hallway's vacation at Christmas time a mistake. He could not but admire the feverish anlmntlon that now characterized the Jobber. Ev ery mischance wns ns quickly repaljed as aroused expedient could do the work. Esprit de corps awoke. The men sprang to their tasks with nlacrity. gave more than an hour'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." Ono morning In February Thorpe was helping load n big butt log. He was one of the two men who stand nt either end of the skids to help the as cendlng log keep straight and true to Us bed on the pile. His assistant's end caught on a silver, 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 dug' his cant hook Into the timber and threw his weight on the stock. He hoped in-tuis manner to check correspondingly the ascent of his end. In other words, he took tho place on his side of the pre venting sliver, so equalizing the pres sure nnd forcing tho timber to Its prop er position. Instead of rolling the log slid. The stock of the cnut hook was Jerked from his hands. He fell back, nnd the cant hook, nftcr clinging fot a moment to the rough hark, snapped down nnd hit him a crushing blow on the top of the head. They took Thorpe up and carried him In, Just ns they had carried Hank Paul before. Men who had not hpoken 0 dozen words to him in as many days gathered his few belongings nnd stuff ed them nwkwnrdly Into his satchel. Jackson HInes prepared tho bed of straw and warm blunkets In the bot tom of the sleigh thnt was to tako him out. "Ho would have made a good boss," said the old fellow. "He's a hard man to nick." CHAPTER VIII. ?llIEX Thorpo finally enmo to IW himself he was In a long, bright, clean room, nnd the sunset tvas throwing splashes of light on the celling over his head. Ho watched them Idly for n time, then turned on his pillow. At once he perceived a long, double row of clean white pnlntcd Irpn beds, on which lay or sat figures of men. Other figures of women glided here nnd there noiseless ly. They wore long, spreading dove gray clothes, with a starched white kerchief drown oyer their shoulders and across tho 'breast. Their heads were quaintly white-garbed In stiff winglike coifs, fitting close ubout the ovul of tho fitce. Then Thorpo sighed comfortably and closed his eyes and blessed the chnnce that ho had bought u hospital ticket of tho agent wbo had visited cump the month before.

So valuable are these Institutions and so excellent ly are they maintained by the sisters that a hospital agent Is nhvays wel come even in those camps from which ordinary peddlers and Insurance men nre rigidly excluded. In one of these hospitals Thorpe lay for six weeks suffering from 11 'severe concussion of, the brain. At the end of the fourth his fever had broken, but he was pronounced ns yet too weak to be moved. The roofs were covered with snow. One day Thorpe saw It sink Into Itself and gradually run away. The tinkle tinkle tank tank of drops sounded from his own eaves. Down the furofT liver sluggish reaches of lee drifted. Then In a night the blue disappeared from the stream. It became a menacing gray, and even from his distance Thorpo could catch the swirl of Its- ris ing waters. A day or two later dork mosses drifted or shot across the Held of his vision, and twice he thought he distinguished men standing upright nnd bold on single logs ns they rushed down tho current. "What Is the dute?" he asked of the sister. "The elcvent of March." "Isn't it early for the thaw?" "Listen to Mini" exclaimed tho sister delightedly. "Early, Is It! Sure tli' freshet co't them nil. Look, dniilut: yo con see tho drive from here." "I see," said Thorpe wearily. "When con I get out?" "Not for wan week," replied the sla ter decidedly. At the end of the week Thorpe said goodby to his ntteudant. H,o took two iloys of tramping tho little town to re train tho use of his legs and boarded ho morning train for Reeson Lake. He lid not pause In the village, but bent his steps to the river trail. Ho followed the trail by the river. Duttcrbalts nnd scoters paddled up at his approach. lilts of rotten Ice occa sionally swirled down the diminishing stream. Around every bend Thorpe looked for Fome of Railway's crew "driving" tho logs down the current. lie knew from chance encounters with several of the men In Ray City that Radway was still Id camp, which meant, of course, that the season's oper ations wore not finished. Five miles farther Thorpe began to wonder wheth er this last conclusion might not be or oneou3. The Cass branch had shrunk 111 almost to ItH original limits. The irive must have been finished even, this early, for the stream lu Its present con dition would hardly float saw logs. Thorpe, puzzled, walked on. At the banking ground he found empty skids. Evidently the drive was over. And yet even to Thorpe's Ignorance It seemed Incredible Uiat the remaining million and n half of logs hod been hauled, banked and driven during the short time he had loin In the Ray City hos pital. More to solve the problem than In any hope of work he set out for the logging road. Another three miles Jirought him to camp. It looked strangely wet and sodden nnd deserted. In faCt, Thorpe found a bare half dozen people In It Railway, the cook and four men who were helping to pack up the movables. The Jobber showed strong traces of the st ruin he had undergone, but grest ed Thorpe almost Jovially. "Hello, young man!" he shouted ut, Thorpe's 111 nt 1 splashed figure, "('onie buck to view the remains? AH well again, heigh V That's good!" "I didn't know you were through," explained Thorpe, "nnd I came lo see If I could get a Jo'i." "Well, now. I am sorry!" cried Rad way. "You can turn In and help, though, if you want In." Thorpe greeted the cook and old .lack son Illnes, the only two whom ho knew, and set to work to tie up bun .lies of blankets and to collet c axes, pernios and tools of all ilesci 'pttons. riiut evening the seven dined together it one end of th" long table. The big nioiii exhaled already the atmosphere if d'sertlon. "Not much like old times, Is she?" laughed Railway. "Can't you Just shut .our eyes .mil hear Il.iptlstu Kay. '.Mnk' 'leem de mup one tain more for me?' 'lie's pretty empty now." .lacUsou lllnes looked whimsically low n the hare board. "More room han Cod made for geese In Ireland," vus his comment. After supper they sal outside for 11 tittle time to smoke tluir pipes, chair tilted agalii.Ht Hie logs of the cabins, but soon the chill of melting snow drove them Indoors. The four team sters played seven up hi the cook camp by the light of a barn lantern, while Thorpe and the cook wrote letters. Thorpe's was to his sister. "I have been In the hospital for about a ,111011th," ho wrote. "Nothing serious n crack 011 the head, which Is all right now. Rut I cannot get home this summer, nor, 1 am afraid, can we arrange about the school this year. I uni about $70 ahead of where I was last full, so you see It Is slow busluesii. This summer I 11111 going Into a mill, but the wages for given labor are not very high there either," and so on.

In a lecture delivered here today Dr. Isadore Dyer, the physicians of the lepers' home of Louisiana nnd one of the most distinguished experts on tliis disease in this country, after saying there were 3,000,000 lepers in existence, or one to every 500 living persons, announced that in the last two years the problem of curing this dread disease had been solved. In ten years, Dr. Dyer said, he! and his assistants had succeeded in 1 iemoviiig every trace of the disease I in twelve lepers. In the past two years, since the latter part of 1902, 1 every case .at the Louisiana leper home, except those in the very Inst stages of the disease, have been im proved materially, and in three cases the lepers arc almost well, and it will be possible to discharge thim within a comparatively short time, HeforetuerecentUerlinconference on leprosy, which Dr. Dyer attend ed, there had been, he said, a few cases of the disease cured. That there were not more cures was due to the fact that the disease was not treated. Treatment means perseve rance for years, not for weeks or months. Dr. Dyer expressed con fidence that if the treatment of lep rosy was begun early enough and maintained long enough, thedisea.se could be cured ns easily as any other. In another decade, he said, it will j be universally recognized that lep losy is ns curable as typhoid or yellow (ever Shanglint, China, May 11.- The United States cruiser New Orleans, in command of Admiral Stirling, has been ordered to Chefoo.

Cla rence V. Abliford, Meheuln's coun sel, was present, having returned froih his Kauai trip, and entered motion for a new trial. Matter 1 was taken under advisement and sentence deferred until Monday next. New trial motion was based on the record; conviction wts contraiy to law and evidence; Melieula should not hnve been hailed before the Grand Jury against himself; it had not been proven' that defendant hnd destroyed any vouchers, or existed such .that they had ever j vouchers as were alleged to have j been destroyed; that but one member jof the Grand Jury, Andrew Adams, had testified as to what Melieula had said before the inquisition; that it was presuming greatly to take such unsupported statement as accurate and as absolutely so. - Subscribe for the Tkihunr Island subscription $2.50 a year. ,5" m o 1 fesap 1 3d CD o n hS2 X 5' I10 a J- OsoSJ)' x m 4 " rt n 3 r;mG0 rn O n ' rri " .
