EXT day the articles of partner ship were drawn, and Carpen ter gave his note for the neces sary expenses. Then. In an swer to a penciled card which Mr. Morrison had evidently left at Thorpe’s hotel in person, both young men called at the lumberman’s place of business. They were ushered immediately into the private office. Mr. Morrison was a smart little man. with an ingratiating manner and a fishy eye. He greeted Thorpe with marked geniality. "My opponent of yesterday," b■■ cried Jocularly. "Sit down, Mr. Thorpe. Al though you did me out of some land 1 bad made every preparation to pur chase. 1 can’t but admire your grit and resourcefulness. How did you get here ahead of us?” “I walked across the upper peninsu la and caught a boat.” replied Thorpe briefly. “Indeed, indeed!” replied Mr. Morri son. placing the tips of his fingers to gether. "Extraordinary! Well. Mr. Thorpe, you overreached us nicely, and I suppose we must pay for our care lessness. We must have that pine even though we pay stumpage on it. Now. what would you consider a fair price for it?” “It Is not for sale.” answered Thorpe. “We’ll waive all that. Of course it Is to your Interest to make difficulties and run the price up as high as yon can. But my time is somewhat occu pied just at present, so I would be very glad to hear your top price, We will come to an agreement afterward.” “You do not understand me, Mr Morrison. I told you the pine Is not for sale, and I mean It" N I echoed Wallace. "I know a little of such things, and I have business con- nections who know more. You Just get the camp running.” “I’ll start for Buy City tonight;" 811b rnltted Thorpe. "There ought to be a good lot of lumber Jacks lying around Idle at this time of year, and It's a good place to outfit from, because we can probably get freight rates direct by boat. We’ll be a little late Lu starting but we’ll get Ln some logs tbJs winter anyway." CHAPTER XV. AV, in August, however, the first turmoil bad died. The "Jam" had boiled into town, "taken it apart" and left the Inhabitants to piece it together again as they could. The "rear” had not yet arrived. As a consequence Thorite found the city comparatively quiet. Although his Ideas were not as yet formulated, be hoped to be able to pick up a crew of first class men from those who bad come down with the advance, or "Jam.” of the spring’s drive. They should have finished their orgies by now and, empty of pocket, should be found banging about the boarding houses and the quieter saloons. Thorpe intended to offer good wages for good men. He would not need more than twenty at first, for during the ap proaching winter he intended to log on a very small scale indeed. The time for expansion would come later. With this object in view be set out from his hotel about half past 7 on the f y of his arrival to cruise about to the lumber Jack district. The hotel clerk had obligingly given him the names of a number of the quieter sa loons where the boys “hung out” be tween bursts of prosperity. in the first of these Thorpe was helped ma terially In his vague and uncertain quest by encountering an old acquaint ance. Jackson Hines. The old man peered at Thorpe, “Don’t you know me?" Inquired Thorpe. "Know you? You bet I do. How are you, Harry? Where have you been keepin’ yourself? You look about ns fat as a stall fed knittin’ needle.” "I’ve been land looking In the upper peninsula.” explained Thorpe, "on th" Ossawlnamakee, up in the Marquette country.” "Sbo!” commented Jackson In won Ei' ”15ut surely— What aid you buy It for. then?” cried Mr. Morrison, with evidences of a growing excitement "We intend to manufacture it” Mr. Morrison’s fishy eyes uearly pop ped out of his head. He controlled himself with an effort. 1 “Mr. Thorpe,” said be, "let us try to I be reuao liable, Our case stands this way: We have gone to a great deal of expense on the Ossawlnamakee in ex pectation of undertaking very exten | sive operations there.

It occurred to me that you might be willing to help me.” The river man frowned steadily at bls interlocutor from under bls busby brows. “How much pine you got?" be asked finally. “About 30000X000.” sepfied Thorpe quietly. Tba old man’s blue eyes fixed them selves with unwavering steadiness on Thorpe s face.

Then, after another interval: "Have you found out who wns the men stealin' the pine?” "Yes,” replied Thorpe quietly. “It was Morrison & Daly.” The old man flickered not au eye lid. He slowly tilled bis pipe and lit it. “I’ll get you a crew of men." said he, “if you'll take me as foreman.” "But It’s a little Job at first” protest ed Thorpe. "I only want a camp of twenty. It wouldn’t be worth your while.” “That’s my lookout. 1'11 take the Job,” replied the logger grimly, "You got 300.000,000 there, ain’t you? And you're goln’ to cut It? It ain’t such a small Job.” Thorpe could liurdly believe bis good fortune in having gained so Important a recruit. With a practical man as foreman, bls mind would be relieved of a great deal of worry over unfamil iar details. He saw at once that he would himself be able to perform all the duties of scaler, keep in touch with the needs of the camp and supervise the campaign. Nevertheless beauswer ed the older man's glance with one as keen and said: “Look here. Shearer. If you take this Job we may as well understand each other at the start.
