"If tlie liodlei can lie recoveieu, iney

on the fieshot water."
"Your men won't work. I'd refuse
Just as they will!" cried Carpenter, bin
sensibilities still millcrlnc.
Thoipe smiled proudly. "You do not
know them."
"Ity Jove!" cried the Journalist In
sudden enthusiasm. "My Jove. Hint Is
miiKiilllccnt!"
The men on the river crew had
eiouched on their narrow footholds
while the Jam went out. Knell had the river, his head erect, his eyes Hash
clung to his penvey, as Is the habit of iIIBl hia nostrils distended.

their feet swept the debris of Hood

rollways which the river had niUonint
leally broken. In n little time the eddy
eaiight up some of these logs, and Im
mediately another Jam threatened. The
river men, without hesitation, ns calm
ly as though catastrophe had not
thrown the weight of Its moral terror
against their stoicism, sprang, penvey
In hand, to the Insistent work.
Thorpe's face lit with gratification
He turned to the young man.
"You seo," he said In proud simplicity.
With the added danger of freshet wa
tor, the woik went on.
At this moment Tim Shearer ap
proached from Inland, his clothe drip
ping wet, hut his face retaining Its ha
bitual expiessloti of Iron calmness.
"Anyltody caught?" wns his llrst ques
tion ns he drew near.
"Five men under the face," replied
Thorpe brlclly.
Shearer cast a glance nt the river.
He needed to be told no more.
"I was afraid of It." said he. "The
rollways must be all broken out. It's
saved us that much, but the freshet
water won't last long. It's going to lie
n close squeak to get 'em out now.
Don't exactly figure oh what struck the
dam. Thought first I'd go right up
Mint way, but then I came down to see
about the boys."
"Where were you 7" asked Thorpe.
"On the pole trail. I got in 11 little,
ns you see."
In reality the foremnn had had
close call for his life.
"We'd better go up nnd tnke n look,"
be suggested. "The boys has things
going here nil right."
The two men turned toward the
brush.
"HI, Tim!" called n voice behind
them.
lied Jacket appeared, clambering up
the cliff.
"Jack told me to give this to you,"
he panted, holding out a chunk of
stiangely twisted wood.
"Where'd he get this?" Inquired
Thoipe quickly. "It's n piece of the
dam." he explained to Wallace, who
had drawn near.
"Picked it out of the current." re
plied the man.
The foi email and his boss bent ea
gerly over the morsel. Then they
staled with solemnity into each other's
eyes.
"Dynamite!" exclaimed Shearer.

OTt n inomtnt the three
men '
stnred at each other without
speaking.
"What does it mean?" almost
whispered Caipenter.
".Mean? Koul play!" snarled Thorpe
"Come on, Tim."
The twp struck Into the finish, thread
lug the paths with the ease of woods
men. It was necessary to keep to the
high Inland ridges. The pole t-all had
by now become Impassable. Thorpe
and his foicman talked brlclly.
"It's Morrison & Daly," surmised
Shearer. "I left them 'count of a trick
like that. I been suspecting some
thing. They've been laying too low."
Thorpe answered nothing. Through
the site of the old dam they found 11
torrent pouring fiom the 11111 rowed
pond, at the end of which th dilap
idated wings Happing in the current at
tested the former structure. Davis
stood staring nt the cm rent.
Thoipe strode forward nnd shook him
violently by the shoulder.
"How did this happen?" he demand
id hoarsely.
The iiiuu turned to him In n daze. "I
lon't know." he answered.
"You ought to know. How was that

aeie without your seeing them? An

"I don't know," repented the mun,
I Jest went over In th' bresli to kill 11

I found her this way."
niii: you uireu iu waicu mm uuni, 1
or weren't you?" demanded the tenso
voice of Thorpe,
"Answer me, youl
fool."
"Yes, I was," returned the man, r
shade of aggression creeping Into hit i
voice.
"Well, you've done It well. You've
cost me my dam, and you've killed live
men. If the crew finds out about you,1
you'll go over the fulls sure. You gel

'I lie man blanched 11s be thus learueil
of his comrades' death. Thoipe thrr.sl
his face at him, lashed by elreuin .
Hlances beyond his habitual self con I
tml. ,
"It's men like you who make the I
trouble." he stormed. "Stupid fooH
who say they didn't mean to! It Isn't
cuoiikIi not to menu to; they hIiouIiI
mean nut to! I don't ask you to think.
I Just want you to do what I tell you.
nnd you can't even do that."
He threw his shoulder Into a heavy
blow that reached the dam wntchcr'i
face, and followed It Ininiedlatelv b
another. Then Shearer caught his
arm, itiotloii'liiK the dazed and bloody
victim of the attack to get out of sight.
Thoipe shook his foreman off with one
Impatient motion nnd strode nway up
"I reckon you'd better mosey," Shear
er dryly advised thu dam watcher, nud
followed.
l.n to In the afternoon the two men
reached Dam Three, or, rnther, the spot
011 which Dam Three had stood. The
same spectacle repeated Itself here, ox-
, cept Mint Dills, the dam watcher, was
nowhere to be seen.
I "The dirty whelps!" cried Thoip"
' "They did n good Job!"
, He thrashed nboiit here nnd there
nud so came across Dills blindfolded
nnd Med. When relented the dam
watcher was unable to give any ie-
1 count of his assailants.
"They emtio up behind me while I
was cooking." he said. "One or 'eui
grabbed me. and the other one klvered
my eyes. Then 1 hears the 'shot' and
knows there's tiouble."
Thorpe listened In silence. Shearer
asked n few questions. After the low
voiced conversation Thorpe nioso -lb-ruptly.
"Where you going?" risked Shenrer.
Ilut the young liinn did not reply. He
swung, with the snine long, nervous
stride. Into the down river trail.
Until late that night the three men
for Dills Insisted on accompanying them
hurried through the foiest. Thoipe
wnlked tirelessly, upheld by his violent
but repressed excitement. Shearer
noted the flic In his eyes nnd. from tlio
coolness of his grenter ag". counseled
moderation.
"I wouldn't stir the boys 110," he
panted, for the pace was very swift.
"They'll kill some one over there; It 'II
be murder on both sides."
He received no answer. About mid
night they enme to the enmp.
Two great tires leaped among the
trees, and the men were giouped be
tween them, talking. livening had
brought Its accumulation of slow linger
against the perpetrators of the outrage
Even as the woodsmen Joined their
group they had reached the Intensity
of execution. Across their put pose
Thorpe threw violently his personality
"You must not go!" he commanded,
Through their anger they looked u
htm askance.
"1 forbid It!" Thorpe cried.
They shrugged their Indifference nnd
nrose. This was an affair nf eato
brotherhood, and the blood of their
mutes cried out to them.
"The work!" Thorpe shouted hoarse
ly. "The work! We must get those
logs out! We haven't Mine'"
Then swiftly between the white,
strained face of the madman trying to
convince his heart that his mind bad
been right and the fanatically exalted
river men Interposed the sanity of ISad
way. Tim old Jobber faced th" men
calmly, almost humoioiisly, and some
how the very bigness of the inaii com
mnuded attention.
"You fellows make me sick." said he.
"You haven't got the sense God gave m
rooster. Don't you see you're playing
riirht In those fellows' hands? What
do you suppose they dynamited them
dams for? To kill our boys? They
never di earned we was dry plckln' that
dam. They sent some low lived whelp
T6wii"tfie'ro to fiang our drive, and It
looks like they was going to succeed,
thanks to you mutton heads.
"S'pose you go over and take 'em
apart. What then? Then have n scrap,
rrobably you lick 'em. You whale day
lights out of u lor of men who probnbly
don't know uny more nbout this hero
shooting of our dnms than 11 hog does
about a milled shirt. Meanwhile your
drive hangs. Well? Well, do you sup

shooting do you suppose Morrison ,V:
Daly give u tinker's dam how many
men of theirs you lick? What they
want Is to hang our drive. If they
hang our dilvc, lt'a cheap nt the pi Ice
of a few black eyes."
The speaker paused and grinned
good htunorcdly at the men's ntt"iitlvo
faces. Then suddenly his own becamu
grave.
"Do you want to know how to get
even?" he asked. "Do you want to
know how to make those fellows slug
so small you can't hear them? Well,
I'll tell you. Take out this drive! Do
it in splto of them. Show them they'io
no good when they buck up against

ngalii straightened hit hack after rath
er a prolonged Interval the group hud
already disintegrated. A few minutes
later the eookee scattered tlio brands
of the lire from before n sleeping
I camp.
Ilefore daylight Injun Charley drift
ed Into camp to Hud Thorpe nlrendy
out. With n curt iiimI the Indian seat
ed himself by the lire and, producing
11 square plug of tobacco and n knife,
began leisurely to fill his pipe. Finally
I tij it 11 Chut ley spoke In the red man's
clear cut, Imitative lhigllsh, n pause
between each sentence.
"I llnd trail three men," said he.
"I'oth dam, three men. One mun go
down river. Those men have cork
boot. One innn no hnve cork boot He
boss."
The Indian suddenly threw his chin
out, his head back, and hnlf closed his
eyes In a cynical squint. As by n flash
Dyer, the sealer, leeied Insolently from
behind the Indian's stolid musk.
"How do you know?" snld Thorpe.
For jinswer the Indian threw his
shoulders forward In Dyer's nervous
fashion.
"He mnke trail Mg by the toe. light
by the heel. He make trull big 011 In
side." Charley nrose nml wnlked after Dy
er's springy fashion, Illustrating his
point In the soft wood ashes of the
Immediate' llieslde.
Thoipe looked doubtful. "I believe
) on are right. Charley," said he. "Hut
It Is mighty little to go on. You can't
be sine."
"I sure." replied Charley.
He puffed stiougly at the heel nf his
smoke, then arose nud without fnrewell
disappeared In the forest.
Then began the wonderful struggle
against circumstances which has be
come n bywoul among river men every
where. A forty day drive had to go
out In ten. A freshet had to float out
sn.000.ono feet of logs. It wns tremen
dous. Fourteen, sixteen, sometimes
"Ighlcen hours a day the men of the
driving ciew worked like demons.
Jams had no chance to form. Of
course under the pressure the lower
dam had gone out. Nothing was to be
depended on but sheer dogged grit.
F-ir up river Sadler St Smith had hung
their dilve for the season, nnd so hnd
resigned themselves to n definite but
not extrnordlnnry loss. Thorpe hnd nt
least a clear liver.
Wallace Carpenter could not undr
stnud how human flesh and blood en
dured. The men themselves bad long
since reached the point of practical
exhaustion, but wcie cnrrled through
by the lire of their leader. 'Work was
dogged until he stormed Into sight;
then It became frenzied. When he
looked at n mnn from his cavernous,
burning eyes, that mnn Jumped.
Impossibilities were puffed aside like
thistles. The men went at them head
long. T.hey gave wuy before the rush.
Thorpe always led. Not for n single
Instant of the day nor for many nt
night wns he nt rest. Instinctively he
seemed to renlize that a let down
would menn collapse.
After the camp had fallen nsleep he
would often Ho nwnko hnlf of the few
hours of their night, every muscle
tense, staring at the sky. His mind
saw definitely every detail of the sit
nation ns he had viewed It. In ndvnnee
his Imagination stooped and sweated
to the woik which his body wns to ac
complish the next morning. Thus he
did everything twice. Then nt lust the
tension would relax. He would fall
Into uneasy sleep. Hut twice that did
not follow. Through the dissolving
iron mist of Ids striving a sharp
thought cleaved like an ariow. It wns
that, after all, he dfd not care. Sub
consciousness, the other Influence, was
growing like a weed. I'erhaps theie
were greater things than to succeed,
greater things than success. And then
the Keen, poignant memory of the
(beam ghl stole Into the young man's
mind and In agony was immediately
thrust forth. Ho would not think of
her. He had given her up. He refus
ed to believe that ho hnd been wrong.
In the still darkness of the night he
would rise and steal to the edge of the
I'ully roaring stream. There, his eyes
blinded and his throat choked with n
longing more manly than tears, he
would reach out and smooth .the round
lough coats of the great logs.
"We'll do It," he whispered to them
1 nd to himself. "We'll do it. We can't
so WlOlljf."

1 To the Kditor ofTinj Tkihunk:
j t note that in your editorial of a
past week you advocate on general
I grounds the destruction of mosqui
I toes. This mntler derives added
I urgency from the fact that Dr.
iS:hwallic tells me that lie has had
1 thirty or forty cases of dengue in
I Kau during the last three mouths.
I Fortunately the human memory
I is not very retentive for past suffer
ing, but surely the people of Hilo
can recall the financial loss due to
dengue iu the town last year. There
is, I believe, an ample fund now
available for sanitary purposes iu
Hilo, and it cannot, in my opinion,
be expended better than in the de
struction of mosquitoes. The proof
of the spreading of dengue by their
agency, while not cjuiti complete
scientifically, is sufficiently certain
for all practical purposes, nnd we
have the satisfaction of knowing
that if we kill our day mosquitoes
now we shall not be liable to the
dangerof yellow fever in the future.
Respectfully, John J. GuACit.
