When the sawhorses were completed
Orde directed the picks and shovels
to be brought up.
Orde set his men to digging a chan­
nel through the bank. It was no slight
job, as »he slope down Into a swamp
began only at a point forty or fifty feet
inland; but. on the other hand, the
earth was soft aud free from rocks
When completed the channel gave pas­
sage to a rather feeble streamlet from
the outer fringe of the river.
Nest Orde assigned two men to ea< b
of the queer shaped sawhorses and In­
structed them to place the horses in
a row across the shallowest part of the
river and broadside to the stream
This was done. The men. halfway to
their knees in the swift water, bore
“IT.'.y, it would droirn u»'“
down heavily to keep their charges in
place. Other men laid heavy plauks
side by side perpendicular to and on
the upstream side of the horses. The
weight of the water clamped them in
place. Big rocks and gravel shoveled
on in quantity prevented the lower
ends from rising. The wide slant of
the legs directed the pressure so far
downward that the horses were pre­
vented from floating away, and slowly
the bulk of the water, thus raised a
good three feet above Its former level,
turned aside Into the new channel and
poured out to Inundate the black ash
■wamp beyond.
A good volume still poured down to
the fall, but it was so far reduced that
work became possible.
K“N ow , boys!" cried Orde. "Lively
while we've got the chance!"
The twenty-six foot logs were placed
Bide by side, slanting from a point two
feet below the rim of the fall to the
ledge below. They were bolted to­
gether top and bottom through the
four boles bored for that purpose. The
task finished, they pried the flash
boards from the improvised dam.
piled them neatly beyond reach of
high water, rescued the sawhorses and
piled them also for a possible future
use and blocked the temporary chan­
nel. The river, restored to its imtne
mortal channel by these men who had
so nonchalantly turned it aside, roared
on. Orde and his crew tramped back
to the falls aud gazed on their handi­
work with satisfaction. Instead of
plunging over an edge into a turmoil
of foam and eddies, now the water
flowed smoothly, almost without a
break, over an incline of thirty de­
grees.
‘‘Logs ’ll slip over that slick as a
gun barrel,” said Tom North.
Quite cheerfully they took up their
long, painstaking journey back down
the river.
The trail led the crew through many
minor labors, all of which consumed
time. At Heed's mill Orde entered into
diplomatic negotiations with old naan
Reed, whom he found singularly
amenable. The skirmish in the spring
seemed to have taken all the fight out
of him, or perhaps, more simply, Orde's
attitude toward him at that time had
won him over to the young man's side
Orde’s crew built a new sluiceway
and gate far enough down to assure a
good head In the pond above.
In September the crew had worked
down as far as Redding, leaving be­
hind them a river harnessed for their
uses. Remained still the forty miles
between Redding and the lake. Orde
here paid off his men. A few days'
work with a pile driver would fence
the principal shoals from the channel.
He stayed overnight with his par­
ents and took the train for Monrovia
to meet Newmark.
“Hello, Joe!" greeted Orde. his teeth
flashing in contrast to the tan of bls
face. "I'm done. Anythiug new since
you wrote lust?”
Newmark had acquired Lis articles
of ineorporati tn at <1 sold his stock.

buildings and real «State. Thae was
the financing determined. It left the
company with obligations of JI.300 a
year In interest, expenses which would
run heavily into the thousands and an
obligation to make good outside stock
worth at par exactly $49,000. In addi­
tion Orde had charged agaiust his ac­
count a burden of $2,000 a year inter­
est on his personal debt To offset
these liabilities, outside the river im­
provements and equipments, which
would hold little or no value In case of
failure, the firm held contracts to de­
liver about 100.000.000 feet of logs.
After some discussion the partners de­
cided to allow themselves $2,500 apiece
by way of salary.
•The only point that la at all risky
to me," said Newmark. "Is that we
have only one season contracts. If for
any reason we hang up the drive or
fall to deliver promptly we're going
to get left the year following, and then
It's b-u-s-t—bust."
RDE'S bauk account, in spite u.
| his laughing assertiou to New­
mark. contained some $1,100.
After a brief but comprehensive
tour of inspection over ail the works
then forward he drew a hundred of
this and announced to Newmark tbai
business would take him away for
about two weeks.
At Redding, whither he went to
pack his little sole leather trunk, be
told Grandma Orde the same thing.
She came and stood by the man lean­
ing over the trunk.
“Speak to her. Jack.” said abe quiet­
ly. “She cares for you."
Orde looked up in astonishment, but
he did not pretend to deny the implied
accusation as to his destination.
“Why. mother.” be cried, "she’s only
seen me three or four times! It's ab­
surd—yet."
“I know." nodded Grandma Orde
wisely; “I know. But you mark my
words—she cares for you.”
She placed her hand for an instant
on his shoulder and went away. The
Ordes were not a demonstrative people
The journey to New York was at
that time very long and disagreeable,
but Orde bore it with his accustomed
stoicism. He had visited the metrop­
olis before, so it was not unfamiliar to
him. He made his way to a small ho­
tel just off Broadway.
Orde ate. dressed and set out afoot
In search of Miss Bishop's address. He
arrived in front of the house a little
past 8 o'clock and after a moment's
hesitation mounted the steps and rang
the bell.
The door swung silently back to
frame an impressive manservant dress­
ed in livery. To Orde's Inquiry be
stated that Miss Bishop had gone out
to the theater. The young man left
his name and a message of regret. At
this the footman, with an irony so sub­
tle as to be quite lost on Orde, demand­
ed a card. Orde scribbled a line in
his notebook, tore it out, folded it and
left it
He retired early and arose early, as
had become bis habit. At the office
the clerk banded him a note:
My Dear Mr. Orde—I was so sorry to
miss you that evening because of a stu­
pid play. Come around as early as you
can tomorrow morning. I shall expect
you. Sincerely yours.
CARROLL BISHOP.
Orde glanced at the clock, which
pointed to 7. He breakfasted and start­
ed leisurely in the direction of West
Ninth street. He walked slowly. At
University place be was seized with a
panic and hurried rapidly to his desti­
nation. The door was answered by
the same man who had opened ft the

stated, with great brevity, that Miss
Bishop was not yet visible and pre­
pared to close the door.
“You are mistaken,” said Orde. “1
have an engagement with Miss Bishop.
Teli her Mr. Orde is here.”
The man departed, leaving Orde
standing In the gloomy hall. That
young man. however, parted the cur­
tains leading into a parlor and sat
down in a spindle legged chair.
For quite three quarters of an hour
he waited without hearing any other
indications of life than muffled sounds.
Occasionally he shifted his position,
but cautiously, as though he feared to
awaken some one. Three oil portraits
stared at him with all the reserved
aloofness of their painted eyes. He
began to doubt whether the man had
announced him at all.
Then, breaking the stillness with al­
most startling abruptness, be beard a
clear, high voice saying something at
th* top ofjbe stairs outside. A rbytb-

mlcal swish of skirts, punctuated by
the light pat-i»at of a girl tripplug
downstairs, brought him to his feet-

Orde sprang to hts feet

just up?“ she mocked him. "* assure
you It doesn't matter. The family has

“But.” cried Orde. “I wasn't here un­
til 9 o’clock. I thought, of course,
you'd be around. I'm mighty sorry"—
“Oh. la, la!" she cried, cutting him
short.
Orde was for taking his leave, but
this she would not have.
“You must meet my family." she
negatived, "for if you're here for so
short a time we want to see some*Ling
of you. Come right out now.”
Orde thereupon followed her down
a narrow, dark ball to a door that
opened slantwise into the dining room.
With her back to the bow window sat
a woman well beyond middle age. but
with evidently some pretensions to
youth. She was tall, quick io mot»-
ment. Dark rings below her eyes at­
tested either a dctvous disease, a hys­
terical temperament or both. Immedi­
ately at her left sat a boy of about
fourteen years at age. his face a curi­

Bishop performed the necessary intro­
ductions. General Bisbop arose and
grasped bis hand.
Gerald Bishop cast an ironically
amused glance across at Orde, and the
mother would barely notice the sun­
burned. ungainly looking riverman.
Carroll Bisbop appeared quite un­
conscious of an atmosphere which
seemed to Orde strained, but sank
Into her place at the table and un­
folded her napkin. The silent butler
drew forward a chair for Orde and
stood looking impassively in Mrs. Bish­
op's direction.
“You wfll have some breakfast with
ns?" she Inquired. ‘“No? A cup of
coffee at least?”
She began to manipulate the coffee­
pot without paying the slightest atten­
tion to Orde’s disclaimer. The general
puffed out bls cheeks and coughed a
bit in embarrassment.
"A good cup of coffee Is never amiss
to an old carqpalgner,” he said to Orde.
"It’s as good as a full meal in a pinch.
I remember when I was a major la the

his face lighting up. bis fingers reach­
ing for the fork with which, after the
custom of old soldlees, to trace the
chart of his reminiscences.
Mrs. Bishop rattled her cup and
saucer with an uncontrollably ner
ous jerk of her slender body. "Spa
us. father.” she said brusquely. “W
you have another cup of coffee?”
The old gentleman looked a trifle be­
wilder»»!, but subsided meekly.
Orde, overwhelmed by embarrass­
ment, discovered that none of the oth­
ers bad paid the Incident the slightest
attention. Only on the lips of Gerald
Bishop he surprised a fine, detached
smile The butler brought a letter for
Mrs. Bishop. The contents seemed to
vex her.

pointing to a building on a side street.
"Won't you come in with me? I am
due now for my practice."
T became difficult for Orde to un­
derstand the home life of ttia-
Bishops.
Everybody seemed a
victim to the caprice of the meth-
er. who became hysterical at thesllgiit-
est : provocation and was fond of con-
tractlng imaginary ills in order to gain
added attention.
The day after hha walk with Gerald
Bishop, Orde and Carroll had arrang­
ed for a walk. Bat Mrs. Bishop met i
them at the door and demanded that
her daughter stay at home to attend,
to several trivial matters. But ths
evening turned ost very well fortu­
nately. Orde could not have atood
much more. They had the parlor quite
to themselves. Csrsoll took the cover
from the tall harp, and. leaning her
cheek agalnat It. she played dreamily
for a half hour. Her arms were bare.
Her soft bosom pressed against the
broad sounding board. There Is about
the tones of a harp well played some­
thing luminous, like the rich, warm
sunlight. When the girl muted the
strings at last It saemed to Orde ns
though all at otice the room had per-
ceptlbly darkened. He took hls leave
finally, his spirit soothed and restored.
Tranquillity was not for long, how­
ever. Orde's visits were naturally ns
frequent as possible. To them almost
Instantly Mrs. Bisbop opposed the
strong and Intuitive jealousy of ego­
tism. She had as yet no fears as to
the young man's Intentions, but In­
stinctively she felt an Influence that
opposed her own supreme dominance.
The week passed. Orde saw as much
as he could of Miss Bishop. Gerald
himself seemed to lie much occupied.
Precisely at 11 every morning, how­
ever, he appeared at the gymnasium
for his practice, and tn tills Orde drop­
ped into the habit of joining him.
When the young men first stripped In
each other's presence they eyed each
other with a secret surprise, Gerald’s
slender body was gracefully mnsejed.
His bones were small, but his flesh
was hard. Orde had earned from the
river the torso of an ancient athlete.
The round, full arch of his chest was
topped by a mass of clean cut muscles.
Across his back, beneath the smooth
skin, the muscles rippled and ridged
and dimpled with every movement.
The abdomen showed the peculiar cor­
rugation of the very strong man. His
arms were magnificent.
“Murphy,” called Gerald, "come
here.”
A very hairy, thickset, bullet head­
ed man, the type of semiprofessional
"handlers,” appeared.
"Do you think you could down this
fellow?” asked Gerald.
Murphy looked Orde over critically.
