When you spring seven or eight million feet on n man all at once and unexpected and he with no crew to handle them, he's going to keep njr mighty busy. And if ho don't stop them this sldo his mill he'll have to raft and tow them back, and If bo doesn't stop 'em this side tho Inke be may as well kiss them all good by." The boomerang worked like a charm. Orde, In personal charge, watched that through the different openings In his boomerang the "II" logs were shunt ed Into the river. Shortly tho channel was full of logs floating merrily nwny. "I've got to go down nnd see how tho Dutchman Is making it," announced Orde. Ho drovo to Ilelnzman's mill. Thcro noted with satisfaction that many of the logs had found lodgment among the reeds and In the bayou and Inlets One at a time, and painfully,, thesn would have to tie salvaged.

"Look nt that gang working j from bgats!" "What do you want me to do?" asked Captain Marsh. j "Thh Is a unviable river. Isn't It?" replied Onle. "Run through!" j Tho tug headed straight for ths , slender lino of booms stretching quite across the river. Orde looked at his watch. "We'll be late for the mall unless we hurry," said he. Marsh rang the engine room bell. The water churned white behind. Vnt you-do? Stop!" cried Ilelnzmau from a boat. "You're obstructing navigation!" yelled Orde. "I've got to go to town to buy a postage stamp." The prow of the tug. accurately aimed by Marsh, hit sipiare In the Junction of two of the booms.

Evidently tho combined efforts of the i rowboats were counted on to hold the half boom across the current while the tug brought out the other half. When the tug dropped the cable Onle laughed. "Nobody but a Dutchman would have thought of that!" he cried. "Now for the fun!" Immediately the weight fell on tho small boats they were dragged lrro Istlbly backwanl. Marsh lowered his ' telescope, tho tears of laughter stream- ' lng down his face. "They'll have to have two tugs be fore they can close tho break that way." commented Ordo Onle found the mill man pacing rest lessly up and down before a steaming pair of horses.

"I've 'told Mr. llolimiuiu." said he, "rtmt we would sort and deliver tho rest of his togs for ?- n thousand." "That will be about It." agreed Onle. "Hut." exploded lloluzmau, "that Is as much ns you agnet to drlvo ami dullffer my wholo cut!" "I'lvolsely," said Newmark. "Put 1 haf all the eggspenco of drlv- lng the logs myself. Why shoult 1 pay you for doing what 1 haf nlretty paid to haf done?" Onle chuckled. "Helnzuian." said he, "wo aren't forced to bother with your logs, nnd you're lucky to get out so easy. If 1 , turu your whole drive Into the river 1 you'll lose more than liulf of It out right, and It'll cost you a heap to salvage tho rest. And. what's more, I'll turn 'cm In before you can get hold of n pile driver. I'll sort night and day," ho bluffed, "and by tomor "That Junt about settles that cam iwlgn." he wild to Newmark. "Oh. no.
