with no worse fault than a turn for rough jok ing drunk peter seemed to delight in bullying and cruolty now whiskey was easily obtained from the owner of an illicit still in a gloomy ravine halfway the moun tain hence hicks frequently began tho morning with a dram among the men placed under hicks by tho general overseer was one hjorth hjorycscn a norwegian not twenty years of age he was too re served and laconic to bo popular but ho was respected for his frugality and strength as- his- mind was- sternly- bent on improving his english and gaining money to buy a farm the fair haired blueeyed youth spent none of his time or mean 3 in dissipation when the days work was done ho devoted him self to his english reader and gram mar never disturbed by the talk in tho shanty but sometimes interrupted by a vision of his old mother and inge- borg and hans and the baby hjorth never lay down to sleep with out reckoning the days wage in hjs littlo savings and thinking how all those yellow heads at homo were so much nearer- the wldo farm in tho west that ho meant some day to own big peter hicks drinking whenever ho had a chance felt rebuked by the sovere tiobrlety of tltfls youth on i first arriving hjorth had silently re fused several invitations to drink he j had not even returned thanks being taunted with this apparent rudeness j he had gravely explained that he did not believe any man should give thanks for the offer of poison from that hour hicks resolved to drive hjorth out of the gang with this object the foreman piled work upon the lad hjorth in the pride of his strength regarded this as a compliment to his powers and en countered every task with good humor thon hicks imposed on hjorth tho duty of inspecting tho slide it need ed petty repairs two or three times a week and all these wero not likely to bo noticed on onto inspection trip in finding something overlooked by the lad hicks expected to get an ex cuse for discharging him r nearly all day logs were running in the slide then nobody could walk in it iiut it hud to be inspected while moving ioeb gave indication of loose ends of bolts therefore a line of planks wan laid outside on the ends of

leave so hosup- presaedhl8 rage and went to work big poter felt degradation keenly and with his boon companions regard ed hjorth us nn usurper toward ovening of thp following day which wih saturday the men expected that tho new foreman vould appoint one of them to inspect the ullde and thus avoid tho disagreeable duty hlm- nelf but he tod them to quit work at the uhual time and thon started upon

he stepped from tho slide ho found the men grouped in hla way hardly noticing them hjorth attempt ed to pass but hicks placed his burly hand upon the lads shoulder and thruuting a bottle under his nose said havo a drink hjorycscn gazed calmly into the oyek of his enemy- then he shook off tho offending hand hicks drunk enough to be wicked seized tho lad by the collar and tried to forco the bottle into his mouth- hjorth sent it spinning into the air big peter tried to grapple the nor wegian and received a stinging blow hi the face that sent him stumbling dangerously near a stoop embankment then the other four rushed at hjor- yesen he knocked one down and struggled furiously with the other three but was soon overpowered by tho united attacks und borne to the ground a rope was passed round him and his arms lied in front of his body hjorth made nooutcry ill fix you you young panther cried hicks wiping the blood from his fuce- they seized the- prostrate youth and carried him to the edge of the precipice jszo dont throw him over send him down the slide shouted hicks hobrnyl scried another thoy threw hjorth backward on tho log already in tho slide a second rope was passed round ins waist and knotted to tho log now will you drink said hides neyerj sqid tho boy white with rage xoutd sooner have a ride over the slide would- you murder me youvo got the power to do that but

it shook the boy to this side and that tqrturlng him ot every change he had given himself up for lost but terror did not paralyzo his senses t any minute ho thought the log may turn right over and tear and strew mo in shreds along this trough but he set his teeth to bear tho pain und uttered never a cry at ten seconds on its course the log had reached art- equilibrium hjorth lay as if halfturned on his right side i shall be smashed at the turn he thought even then the log halfcanted over and tossed him as far on his left side as he hadboen on his right it was now flying round the
