The boomerang worked like a charm.
Orde, In personal charge, watched that
through the different openings In his
boomerang the "II" logs were shunt
ed Into the river. Shortly tho channel
was full of logs floating merrily nwny.
"I've got to go down nnd see how tho
Dutchman Is making it," announced
Orde.
Ho drovo to Ilelnzman's mill. Thcro

the logs had found lodgment among

"What do you want me to do?"
asked Captain Marsh. j
"Thh Is a unviable river. Isn't It?"
replied Onle. "Run through!" j
Tho tug headed straight for ths ,

across the river.
Orde looked at his watch.
"We'll be late for the mall unless
we hurry," said he.
Marsh rang the engine room bell.
The water churned white behind.
Vnt you-do? Stop!" cried Ilelnzmau
from a boat.
"You're obstructing navigation!"

to buy a postage stamp."

Evidently tho combined efforts of the i
rowboats were counted on to hold the
half boom across the current while the
tug brought out the other half. When
the tug dropped the cable Onle laughed.
"Nobody but a Dutchman would
have thought of that!" he cried. "Now
for the fun!"
Immediately the weight fell on tho
small boats they were dragged lrro

telescope, tho tears of laughter stream- '

Onle chuckled.
