And through all these six weeks you have made that backlog bear the burden of your mis deeds. Even a lazy boy ought to cut a log in half a day." "It's It's In de cypress swamp now, massa." "Well.

Pomp, aud I hope the log will burn Its full week, and I shall not ask any of you to do a band turn of work except the necessary chores until It burns out.

This con tract means a" lie stopped abruptly and turned away, apparently forgetfnl of his threat to lock Pomp lu the har ness room. Itut Pomp had no Intention of bene fiting by the omission. As bo went chuckling toward the room his thoughts were on the absurdity of the log burn ing out In one week. "If he'd done said 'bout two Mondays ahead he'd come closer," he muttered gleefully. "Jes' a week alu' make no dif'runce 'bout de railroad work, au' ol co'se dem cabins Is plenty good for we all to sleep lu." Five evenings later most of the ne groes were gathered at tho big house, picking tbelr banjos, singing, laughing and gorging them selves on the good things that were spread out lavishly for them.

Monday morning 300 stalwart ne groes filed away from tho Uelknap Imitation toward the now railroad where work was to begin. Hut It was not until the work was completed and all the gloom gone from Colonel Iiel- knap's face that one day he caught Pomp by himself and collared him. 'Now, you young rascal," be said, "tell me about that backlog." "Well, den," Pomp said desperately, as he found he could not escape, "I Jes' bad o holler In de log full ob water, wld tecnty holes nil roun' for do water to seep trough an' keep tings damp.

"I I Jes' slipped In de winder dat night an' took de plugs out an' Jammed de log tight wld fat pitch wood," he stammered. "Co'se do log had to bu n den. Hat was all." Colonel Itelkuap released him. "No, oot quite all. Pomp," he said thought fully. "The burning out of the log meant deliverance from ruin. You are graceless scamp, l'omp, but next Christmas, If all goes well, you shall make the backlog burn for two weeks." A Western Wonder.
