Rumba- The sluicing, under the impetus of a big crew, went rapidly. “There's near a million an hour going through there.” sneculated Orde. watching the burden- ed waters of the chute. 1nd in this‘ work the men distinguished easily the new white blue marks on Helnzmsn’s logs, so they were able to shunt them one side into the smoother water, as 0rde had commanded. _ A n two rows of booms arranged in a V, or funnel, the apex of which emptied into the sluiceway and the wide, projecting arms of which embnced the width of the stream. The logs, floating down “Get organ’zed, boys." said he brisk- ly. “We’ve got to get this pond all sluiced before morning.” The men took their places. “Sluice through everything but the 'H’ logs,” Orde commanded. “Work them of! to the left and leave them.” Sure enough. after supper Orde sud- denly appeared among them. “Night work,” said the men to one another. Orde sent a couple of axmen to maze the newcomers. A little before sun- (10W!) be ordered the sluice gates of the dam opened. I ly to bring tanum to me Interests, but ' filled up his crews. It may be re- marked here. as well as later. that the “terrors of the Saginaw" stayed with the drive to its finish and proved re liable and tractable in every particu- lar. Now. holidays are unknown on drive. Barely is time allowed for eating and sleeping. Nevertheless all that day the men lay about in complete idle- mess. The pond filled with logs. From above the current, aided by a fair wind. was driving down still other logsâ€"the forerunners of the little drive astem. At sight of these some of the men grumbled. “We’re losin‘ what we made." said they. “We left them logs and sorted ’em out once already.” "no 600168. One day when Orde’s backboard drew into camp he sent Bourke away to repair damages while he called the cookee to help un- pack several heavy boxes of hardware. They proved to contain about thirty small hatchet; wen sharpened and each with a leather guard. When the rear crew had come in that night Order distributed the batchets. “Boys.” said he, “while you‘re on the work i went you all to keep a watch out for these ‘3' logs, and whenever you strike one I want you to blame it plainly so there won’t be any mistake about it.” “What for?” asked a Saginaw man. A riverman nudged him. “Just do what you're told to on this river and you'll see fun sum.” Three days later the rear crew ran into the head of the pond above Reed’s dam. To every one’s surprise, Orde called a halt on the work and announc- ed a holiday. Orde's driven kept a sharp look- out for “H” MCI and wherever pos- sible thrust them aside into eddies a nd backwaters. This. of course, merely made work for the suckers Heinzmnn had left above the rear. Soon they were in charge of a very fair little drive of their own. Their lot was not envi- a‘oie. "Veil, my boy.” remarked the Ger- man quite frankly to 0rde as they met on the road one day, “look: like 1 got you dis time. eh?” 0rde laughed. “If you mean your log: are going down with ours. why, I guess you have. But you paste this in your hatâ€" you‘re going to keep awful busy, and it’s going to cost you something to get ’cm down." .\'o trouble was experienced until ileinzman‘s rollways were reached. More Orde had boomed a free channel to prevent Heinzman fmm filling up :Ize entire river bed with his rollways. When the jam of the drive had de- u-zzded the river as far as this Heinz- ma: had not yet begun to break out. nanny had Orde's first crew passed. hogverer. when Heinzman’s men began u) un-ux uown the logs Into the drive. Long before the rear caught up Heinz- man‘s drive was in the water, min- xh‘d with the sixty or eighty million feet 0rde had in charge. Tlm situation was plain. All Beinzo man now had to do was to retain a small crew, which should follow after the rear in order to sack what logs the latter should leave stranded. As it was impossible in so great a mass of timbers and in the haste of a pressing labor to distinguish or discriminate gaiust any single brand. Heinzman was in a falr way to get his logs sent aownstream with practically no ex- 0115 work. The crews on the various beats now had their hands full to keep the logs running. The slightest check at any one point meanta jam. for there was no way of stopping the unending procession. Jed, “Tear out the boom!” The chute to the dam wu‘ Jams on the river, contrary to gen- eral belief, are of very common occur- rence. Throughout the length or the drive there were probably three or four hangups a day. Each of these had to be broken, and in the breaking was danger. Orde after the rear was well started patrolled the length of the drive in his ilgbt buckboard. At times he remain- ed at one camp for several days watch- ing the trend of the work. The im- provements made during the preceding cummer gave him the greatest satis- fat-tion. especially the apron at the falls. The Rough Red‘s enormous strength, daredevil spirit and nimbleness of body made him invaluable at this danger- earlier explained. by shot through Orde into cddics.

I'm so glad to get you back!” cried Carroll over and over again as she clung to him. “I don't live while you’re away.

Without comment he turned back to camp, and 0rde took up his “Sure.” rejoined Orde, “but it’s easy driving, and If that crew of his hasn‘t much to do perhaps he'll lay most or them of! here at Bedding.” “Jim." said be, “I'll be down to see you through the sluiceways at Red- dlng. of course. But now that you have a good, still stretch of river I want you to include in our drive all the Heinzman logs from above you possibly can. It you can fix it. let their drive drift down into ours.” “Then we’ll have to drive their logs for them," objected Dennlng. The gods of luck seemed to be with the new enterprise. The water held out to carry the last stick of timber over the shallowest rapids. Weather conditions were phenomenalâ€"and per- fect. All up and down the river the work went with vim and dash. After this happy fashion the drive went until at last it entered the broad, deep and navigable stretches of the river from Bedding to the lake. Here. barring the accident of an extraordi- nary flood, the troubles were over. On the broad. placid bosom of the stream the logs would float. As (Rde sat in his backboard. ready to go into town for a first glimpse of Can-oil in more than two months. he gazed with an immense satisfaction over the broad river moving brown and glacierlike. as though the logs that covered it were viscid and composed all its substance. The enterprise was practically assur- ed of success. For awhile now Orde was to have a breathing spell. A large number of men were here laid on'. The remain- der, under the direction of Jim Den- ning, would require little or no actual supervision. Until the Jam should have reached the distributing booms above Monrovia the affair was very simple. Before he left. however, he called Denning to him. was almost too exuberant 0rde had constantly to negative new and in. genious schemes. "No, boys." said he, “I want to keep on the right side of the law. We may nerd it later." Logs rarely jam on rising water, for the simple reason that constantly the Inside of two weeks Orde bad the great satisfaction of learning that Heinzman was workingâ€"and working hardâ€"a crew of fifty men. The men entered into the spirit or the thing. In fact. their enthusiasm “A pretty fair crew, even it be was taking out his whole drive.” com- mented Orde. This, as 0rde has said, would be sut- ficiently annoying to Helnzman, but would have little real eflect on the main issue, which was that the Ger- man was getting down his legs with a crew of less than a dozen men. Nev- ertheless Orde in a vast spirit of fun took delight in inventing and executing practical jokes of the general sort just described. One day the chore boy, who had been over to Spruce Rapids after mail. reported that an additional crew or twenty had been sent in to Heinz- man’s drive. This was gratifying. surface area or the rlvcr ls increasing. thus tending to sepia ate the logs. 0:) the other hand, falling water, tending to crowd the drive closer together, is especially prolific of tTouble‘ There. fore, on flood water the watchers scattered along the stretches of the river had little to doâ€"save strand Heinzman’s logs for him. Up to a certain point this was all very well. Orde took pains not to countenance it oflcialiy and caused word to he passed about that, while he did not expect his men to help drive Heinzman’s logs. they must not go out of their way to strand them. “If things get too bad. he'll have spies down here to collect eVldeiwe on us," said Orde. “and he'll jug st. of us for interference with his prop erty.

Orde. in personal charge. watched that through the different openings in his boomerang the “H” logs were shunt- ed into the river. Shortly the channel was full of logs floating merrily away. “I've got to go down and see how the Dutchman is making it.” announced “The current's fairly strong." Orde pointed out. “and the river’s almighty wide. When you spring seven or eight million feet on a man all at once and unexpected and he with no crew to handle them. he’s going to keep at- mighty busy.

He is going to b'é sturdy, like his rather-7a wonderful boy, a boy all of fire"â€" ‘fLike his mother,” said Orde. She smiled up at him. “I want him just like you, dear." she pleaded. The rest of the week 0rde was ab- sent up the river. superintending In a general way the latter progress of the drive. Orde spent the day before the jam appeared in constructing what he call- ed a “boomerang.” At the booms everything was in readiness to receive the jam. The long swim arm slanting across the river channel was attached to its winch, which would operate it. When shut it would close the main channel and shunt into the booms the logs float- ing in the river. There, penned at last by the piles driven in a row and held together at the top by bolted timbers. they would lie quiet. Men armed with pike poles would then take up the work of distribution according to the brands stamped on the ends. Each brand had its own separate "sorting pens." the lower end leading again into the open river. From these each owner’s property was rafted and towed to his private booms at his mill below. “Hanged if I know what's struck me.” be mused. “Never experienced any remarkable joy before in getting back to this sort of truck.” Then. with a warm glow at the heart. the realization was brought to him.

But tonightâ€" oh. tonight, I could laugh and shout aloud like the people in the Bible, with clapping of hands!” She snuggled herâ€" self close to Orde with a little murmur of happiness. “I think of all the henn- tlfnl things.” she whispered. “and of an noble things and of the great “Oh. I do! I do!" she broke in ear- nestly. “Every moment of my waking and sleeping hours I remember him. Always I keep his little soul before me “What is that?" gasped Orde. She ran to him. “Oh. it‘s you, you, you!" she cried. He held her closely. “Do you think it his good to get quite so nervous, sweetheart?" he asked gently then. “Remember"â€" “Oh, it’s you, you. you!" she cried. THE LINDSAY POST “I have nothing to do with your logs. You are driving your own logs,” Ordc “It you think you’re busy now,” said Orde to himself, with a chuckle. “just wait until you begin to get logs. What’s he doing with that tug?" thought he. | “Oh. ho! He’s stringing booms across the river to hold the whole outfit.” I He laughed aloud and drove fran- l tically back to the booms. “He’s shut down his mill." shouted Orde. “and he’s got all that gang of highbankers out and every old rum blossom in Monrovia. and I bet it you say ‘logs’ to him he'd chase his tail in circles. I’m going to take Marsh and the Sprite and go to town. Old Heinzman," he added as an after- thought, “is stringing booms across the river-obstructing navigation.” “Marsh.” he called, “got up steam?” There appeared a short, square man, eyes blue as the sky. “Up in two minutes," he answered. "Harvey. fire her up!” ' Captain Marsh guided his energetic charge among the logs floating in the stream with the marvelous second in- stinct of the expert tugboat man. Orde noted with satisfaction that many of the logs had found lodgment among the reeds and in the bayous and inlets. One at a time, and painfully, these would have to be salvaged. “What do you think of that?" Mars] asked Orde. “Elead upstrearn again)’ Heinzman saw the Sprite coming and rowed out frantically, splashing at every stroke and yelling with every breath. "Tug ahoy!" bellowed a red faced in- dividual from the upper deck. He was dressed in blue and brass buttons and was liberally festooned with gold braid and embroidered anchors. ‘Ilello there. commodore! What it it. 9” replied Marsh. “They want a tug up there at Heinz mans. Can you go?" “Sure!" cried Marsh, choking. The Lucy Belle sheered ofl' magma ceutly. . “Don’t you go through there! Vait a minute! Stop, I tell you!" "Hold up!” said Orde to Marsh. Heinzman rowed alongside. “Vat you do?" he demanded. “I forgot the money to buy my stamp with.” said 0rde s weeti y. “I’m going back to get it.” By this time. however. nearly all the logs had escaped. The tug. towing a string of rowboats, set out in pursuit. "She's going to speak us," marveled Orde. The Lucy Belle was the main excuse for calling the river navigable. In ap- pearance she was two storied. with twin smokestacks. an iron Indian on her top and a “splatter behind” paddle wheel. "There comes his help.” said Orde. Sure enough, the Lucy Belle stopped After a short conference she steamed clumsily over to get hold of one end of the booms. The tug took the other. In time and by dint of much plnshlng, some collisions and several attempts the ends of the booms were united. cg... ~-- The Lucy Belle turned in toward the tug. Up river all the small boats gathered in a line. connected one to the other by a rope. The tug passed over to them the cable attached to the boom. Evidently the combined efforts of the 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 Orde laughed. "They’ll have to have two tugs be fore they can close the break that way.” commented Orde. “Sure thing,” replied Captain Marsh. But at that moment a black smoke roiled up over the marshes. and Show: around the bend trom above came the Lucy Belle. Immediately the weight fell on the small boats they were dragged irre- sistibly backward. Marsh lowered his telescope, the tears of laughter stream- ing down his face. "Vat you dpfl' he do- with.” The prow or the tug, accurately aimed by Marsh, hit square in the junction of two of the booms. There ensued a moment or strain; then the links snapped, and the Sprite plunged Joyously through the opening. The booms, swept aside by the current. floated to either shore. The river was open. “They’ve got em stopped." comment- ed Orde. “Look at that gang working from boats!" “What do you want me to do?" asked Captain Marsh. “This is a navigable river, isn’t it?" replied Orde. “Run through?’ “You're obstructing navigation!” yelled Orde. “I’ve got to go to town to buy a postage stamp." “Nobody but u Dutchman would have thought of that!" he cried. "Now for the fun!“ Marsh rang the engine room bell. The water churned white behind. “Vat you do? Stop!” cried Heinzman from a boat. Shortly Orde, standing by the wheel in the pilothonse, could see down the stretches of the river a crowd of men working. antlike. “Slow down, Marsh,” said Orde. “Let’s see the show." The to: headed straight for as. fiender line of booms stretching quite across the river.
