Chapter 34 ffl HUE now took steps to detlect Into the channel recently dredged to Stcnrn's bayou the moss of the logs racing dowa stream from nodding. He estimated that be bad stilt two hours or so In which to do tho work. This nt lint u uuccceded in doing, and vory successfully as affecting tho pressure on the Jam below. To tho crew working In tho channel dredged through to Steam's bayou tho affair was that of driving a rather narrow and swift stream, only exaggerated. A. large proportion of tho timbers found their way Into the bayou. Thoso that continued on down tho riv er could hardly have much effect on tho Jam. As yet only tho advance of tho big Jam had arrived at the dredged channel. "We can't keep this up when tho main body hits uar Orde panted to Jim Denning. "Wo'll havo to do more pllo driver work. He made a rapid excursion to the Boom camp, whence ho returned with thirty or forty men. "Here, boys," cald be, "you can keep these logs moving In this channel for a couple of hours." Ordo now returned to tho Jam. where, on the pile driver, the tugs and tho Dooms ho set methodically to strength ening the defenses. But shortly the water began to rise again, this time fairly by leaps. For the hundredth time the frnll wooden defenses opposed CHRISTMAS FOOTBALL . RESULTS IN NO SCORE Ashland's All-School football team played tho Central Point eleven Christmas Day and tho resulting score was 0 to 0. Although the Ash landers had the lighter team, they overmatched the Central Pointers in j-'-M and speed- eCntral Point's goal was in immediate danger three times, and each time only threo feet remained to be covered, when wo lost the ball. Tho clever playing of Be beo and Lovelndy was a feature of the game. Their playing will be watched with expectation of good work in the return game to be played in Ashland New Year's day. OH; DEAR, A DEAR LITTLE DEER CALLS IN TOWN A number of people witnessed the interesting and nnsual sight of n wild deer from the big woods dashing through the vory heart of Ashland, The deer, a good sized doe, wearing a handsome winter fur coat, camo down Third street past tho East Side Inn, and after crossing Main street turned cast into an alloy, crossed the railroad track near the section house, cut across to Mountain avenue, jump ed into the Carter orchard and dis appeared from tho sight of those watching the fleet of the nnimnl, which hit up a pretty lively pace, but was unharmed by either man or wo man, numerous of both of which, surprised at tho sight, watched her go by. Tho deer camo down from tho direction of Chnutnqun Butte whith er it had probably descended from its rango in tho higher mountains, fright ened or pursued perhaps by some savngo prowler of tho winter woods. CARDINAL SAT0LLI VERY ILL AT HIS ROME HOME ROME, Dec. 28. The condition of Cardinal Satolli, who is suffering from nephritis complicated by an at tack of blood poisoning is unchanged today. WOMAN. SUDDENLY INSANE, TRIES TO CREMATE CHILDREN CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 28. Be coming suddenly insane, Mrs. Mary Lipp, aged 38, today attempted to cremnto four of her children. The lives of tho four Jittlo ones woro saved by neighbors. to millions of pounds were test ed to the very ex treme of their en durance. The net work of chains and cables tight en ed. drawing ever nearer tho snapping point Suddenly, almost without warning, tho situation had become desper ate. And for the first time Orde cam. Be thook hi jut palely lost his aoatiut the mcnac Md fluently profane. He shook his fist against the menacing logs; he apostropbled the river, the high water, the Jam. the deserters, Newmark and his Illness, ending In a general anatbemu against any and all streams, logs and floods. "Well." said Tom North, "he's good and mad this time." At tho dredged channel Ordo saw the rlvermcn standing idle. and. hnlf blind with anger, he burst upon them. Then ho stopped short and stared. Square across the dredged channel and completely blocking It lay a sin gle span of an Iron bridge. Behind It the logs bad, of course, plied np In a Jam, which dammed back the water, "Where In h did that drop fromr cried Ordo. "Come down on top the Jam," ex plained a riverman. Ordo, suddenly fallen into a cold rage, stored at tho obstruction, both fists clinched at bis side. "That about settles It," said Wclton. "Settlor' cried Orde. "I should think not!" Welton smiled quaintly. "Don't you know when you're lick ed'7. "Licked, h-!" said Orde. "We've Just begun to fight" "What can you do'" "I'll blow her up with powder." "Ever try to to blow up Iron?" "There must be some way." "Ob, there is," replied Welton, "of course take hef apart bolt by bolt and nut by uut" "Send for the wrenches, then!" snap ped Orde. "But it would take days. It would be too iate. Jt would do no good." "Perhaps not," interrupted Orde, "but It will be doing something, nny- way. i.ook upre. welton, nre you game? If you'll get that bridge out in two days I'll hold the Jam." "You can't hold that Jam two hours." "That's my business. Will vou send Ar lanterns and wrenches and keep this crew working?' "i will." said Welton. During the next two days the old scenes were all relived, with back of them the weight of the struggle that had gone before. Pines belonging to divers nnd protesting owners were fell ed and sharpened. Even the invlolato government supply was commandeer ed. Then all at once, as though n faucet had been turned off, tho floods slack ened. "They'vo opened the channel," said Ordo dully. His voice sounded to him self very far away. He felt himself moving in strange and distorted sur roundings, no heard himself repeat Ing to each of a number of wavering, gigantic figures the tallsmanio words that had accomplished the dissolution of tho earth for UltUsolf, "They've opened the channel." At lust he felt hard planks beneath til feet. and. shaking his head with an effort, lie made out the pilothouse of the Sprltu and a hollow eyed mnn leaning agijlust It "They've opened the channel. Marsh." he repeated. "I kxums that'll bo all." Then quite Slowly be Riiuk to tho deck, sound uslcep, When Newtnark left. In the early stages of the. Jam. he gave scant thought to the errand on which be had ostensibly departed. Whether or not Orde got n xupply of pllr was to him a mutter of Indifference. Ills hope, or. ruthrr. preference, wnn that th (nm nil ! l lit trn nut tint hf mivr clearly that Orde. blinded by the swlfc i action of the struggle, was hh yet un able to perceive. Kven should the riv erman succeed In ntopplug the Jain tho extraordinary expenses Incidental to the defense and to the subsequent salvaging, untangling and sorting would more than cat up the profits of tho drive. Orde would then be forced ' to ask for an extension of time on his 1 notes. I On arriving in Monrovia be drove to his own houso. To Mallock ho is sued orders, i "Go to tho office and tell them 1 am t 111." said bo, "and then bunt up Mr. T7rtln?min T panf tr r aa htm lmmn ' dlatcly."
