Oil five dnya Thorpe cut wood,
made flren, drow water, nwept

IiIh employer, dumped bin va

man mulllcd In a fur coat, unstated In
loading tho idclgh with a variety of
tlihiB.s, fniui Mjiearhead plug to raisin,
and tunuHl bin fuco at triHt toward tho
land of hU hope.i and dCHlrcH.
The long drlvo to camp wan at once a
delight and u misery to lilm. Klrst IiIh
feet became numb, then bin hand, then
bin noe was iiIpikmI, and iluully his
warnt clothei were lifted from him by
invisible hiiudrf, and hu was left nuked
to Hhiver-s mid trembling, lie found it

driver pulled up to brentho his horse
at the top of a hill.
"You're droned pretty light," ho ad
Vised. "Iletter hoof it a waya nnd got

The wordn tipped tho balance of
Thorpe' decision. Ho descended Htltlly,

of heavy logs, roofed with plunk and
lighted sparsely through ono or two
windows apiece. The driver pulled un
opposite Hie space between two larger
bulldli:j,'s nnd begun to unload hi pro
visions. Thorpe tot about aiding him
and m found himself for the first time
in a "cook euinp."
It wiih n commodious building. One
end furnished Hpuco, for two cooking
ranges and two bunk's placed one ove'f
tho other. Along ono Hide run u broad
table shojf, with other shelves over it
and numerous barrels underneath, nil
lllled with cans, loaves of bread, cook
ies and pica. The center was occupied
by four lung bench flunked tallies, down
whoso mlddlu struggled utensils con
taining sugar, apple butter, condiments
nnd huucoh ami whoso edges wero set
with tin dishes for about forty men.
Tlio cook, n rather thin faced man
with a mustache, directed where tho
provisions wero to bo'stowed, nnd tho
"coukee," u hulking youth, usslsled
Thorpe and tho driver to carry them In.
In a fow moments the task was tin- j
.sued, with tho execution o(u Unlfdoz-;
n
tn other cawn, which tho driver' rtculg-
nated n for tho "van." Tho horned
wero unhitched and alablod In the
third of tho big log bulldlngH. The
driver Indicated the xccoi.d.
"Hotter go Into tlio mon' camp nnd
nit dorwn till tli' boHS gets In," ho art-
Tided.
Thorpe entered a dim, ovarhented
Ptmeturo lined on twoTrldeB by a don-
I bio tlor of largo bunkH partitioned
from ono another like cnblm, of a boat
andconlercd by a huao (dove over
which 'hung slender po-ciC' 'Tho latter

Thorpe stood at the entrance trying to

"Bet down," nald a vofeo, "on ' floor
If you want to, but I'd prefer th' dea

Thorpo olxdleutly took poidtlon on
the bench, or "deacon Heat," HIh cyen,
tuoro ucd to the light, could make out
a thin, tall, bent old mun, with bare
cranium, two vlslblo teeth and n thrco
dayH' Htubblu of white beurd over bis
nienger, twlHted faco.
Ho caught, perhaps, Thorpo'n Bunrifl

"You think th' old mnn'u no good, do

Thoriw) did not know he was getting
valuable taints on tho camp bullies.
At dark the old man lit two lamp,
which Hervcd dimly to gloze tho Bhad
own. and thrust logs of wood Into the
cast Iron stove. Soon after, tho men
came in. They were n queer, mixed
lot. There wero active, clear built,
preclco Frenchmen, with small hand
find feet and a peculiarly trim way of
wearing th.-lr rough garments; typlcnl
I native born American lumber Jacks,
powerful In frame, rakish in nlr, reek

vians and Swede, strong men at the
vawlng; an Indian or ho, mrnngely In
contrast to the rest, nnd n variety of
lrlfbiuci), Kugllbbuieu and Canadians.
Those men tramped In without a word
nnd set busily to work nt various tasks.
Foiiio sat on tho "deacon seat" nnd be
gun to take eft their socks nnd rub
bers. Still others selected nnd lit lan
terns from a pendant row near tho
window mid followed old Jackson out
of door. They were tho teamster.
"You'll llnd the old man In tho otllce,"
Fold Jackson. .
Thorpo made his way across to tho
unall log cabin indicated us tho otllce,
nnd pushed open the door.
A mun sat ut n desk placing figure
on n cheet of pnper. He obtained tho
figures from statistics penciled on threo
thin leave of bcechwood riveted to
gether. In n chair by tho stovo lounged
u Milkier figure, which Thorpo con
cluded to be that of the "old man."
"I was tent hero by Shearer," said
Thorpo directly, "lie said you might
givu ine some work."
So long a nllcuec fell that tho appli
cant begun to wonder If his questlou
had been heard.
"I might," replied the man dryly nt
Inst.
"Well, will you?" Thorpe inquired,
tliu humor of tho situation overcoming
him.
"Ilnve you ever worked In woods?"
"No."
The man smok)d silently.
"I'll put you on tho road In tho mom
lug," ho concluded, uh though this were
tho deciding qunlltlcutlon.
Ono of the men entered abruptly and
uppronched the couuter. Tho writer at
the desk laid aside his tablets.
"What Is It, Allien?" ho asked.
"Jot of chewln'," was the reply.
The senior took from tho shelf a long
plug of tobacco and cut off two inches.
"Ain't hittln' tho van much, are you,
Albert?" ho commented, putting tlio
man's name nnd the amount hi n little
book. Thorpo went out after leaving
bis naino for the time book, enlightened
n to the mutliod of obtaining supplies.
Ho promised himself some warm cloth
ing from tho van when he should lmvo
worked out tho necessary credit.
At supper ho learned something oIbo.
