Out of tho near gloom, which was

at the turn whoro It wound around tho
Hhouldor.
Hcforo ton minutes Sandry was
brenthlng heavily, though ho said
nothing nnd kept closo at Daily's
hoels. Tho logger strodo forward anil
upward with an easy, climbing lift
that rippled every muscle In his loose
body, while tho man from the citlos
strained and heaved In painful labor,
slipping on tho wot earth, floundering
In tho rotton bark and brush that
lined tho wny. They climbed beside
tho trail, not In It. Ahead of thorn tho
gang of mon had long slnco disap
peared from sight and hearing.
The forenoon that followed was tho
oponlng pago In a new chapter of his
life, and Sandry bent all his faculties
to a grasp of outlines.
Ho stood Bilontlr watching tho work
go forward. Tivsy had reached tho
cutting. Herf, In n wide dip high
above the- Trorjd. It seemed to tho
Easterner, was a hugo clrclo of activ
ity. Closo bosldo tho built trail a sec
ond donkey cnglno fussed and
Bcvtamcd, reaching out uncannily on
nil sides for the great logs, to haul
them In with screech of spool and
strain of cablo nnd turn them over to
tho mysterious steel ropo" that came
constantly crawling back on Its trav
eling" lino. This was called tho "yard
ing onglno" tho ono at. tho foot of
tho trail bcsldo tho rollway nnd tho
track being known ns tho "roader."
Tho monotonous song of tho cross
cut saws had begun whero tho buck
ors wore converting sovoral hundred-and-flfty-foot
trunks Into handling
sections.
A llttlo bolow, two foot-wide planks
uome flvo or six foot long had boon set
Into n giant yellow pino about eight
feet from tho ground, ono on either
side, nnd on those two mon woro stand
ing, tholr flannel shirts open at tho
throat, tholr sleeves rolled up from
arms of steol and leather, their headH
bare. Sandry watched tho bending of
tholr backs, ovory muoclo outlined
under tho clinging shirts, tho play of
tholr knooB, tho wholo easy rippling
of tholr ontlro bodies with tho regular
glvo and tako of tho long Baw. Tho
boards, known as springboards, tobo
and dipped with tho oven motion.
These men wero fallors, and pres
ently thoy would lay tho towering
monarch of the groat woods to tho
fraction of an Inch in a given placo,
ready for tho buckors, tho hook-tendor
and tho cablo.
In tho meantime tho logs already
down wero Hwlftly stripped of tholr
limbs, cut Into thirty and forty foot
lengths, rolled Into tho trail with
poavoy and cant hook, nnd sent up and
over tho rldgo to tho accompaniment
of shrill tootB from tho whistle-bob's,
restless cord, tho straining of rigging
nnd tho squeak of fiber on polished
fiber.
Tho built trail ended hero In tho
shallow hollow between tho first
rldgo and tho groat mountain boyond,
though up tho faco of tho latter it was
prolonged by a cleared path sharply
defined among tho donso growth of
tho timber.
Ho was Impressed by tho magnitude
of tho country. On oyory hand tho
lifting hills wero clothed In troos, closo
-ackod and of such girth and height
as to Boom almost grotesquely impos
sible. Humanity was dwarfed to in
significance llko an ant crawling on
a cathedral column.
Sandrj looked around. Up to this
distance tho woods woro dottod with
cuttings whoro tho groat stumps
glowed white nmld tho vivid green
und tho dourls of slashings uud trim
naturo, denno and untouchod, waiting
for tho hand of pygmy man to como
and tako her lavish treasures.
I3y nine o'clock tho sun was shining
above tho peaks and tho fog had van

It was lato fall thoro was no fooling
of tho death, of tho year. On tho con
trary, thcro was a sense of bustle and
hurry and work beginning with the
advent of tho ralnB. Tho tldowator
slough was bank-full and mud-brown
with thick grass and water growths
along Its edges. Tho stranger uncon
sciously drow great brcathB of tho
sweet air of tho high hills and began
to fcol dimly something of their
charm.
John Dally was everywhere, looking
at this, lending a hand at that, shout
ing somo good-natured Instruction

Ono of tho now owner's first impres

"I Beo. And you've had no oxperl-

"Nono," said Sandry a llttlo shortly.
"Maryanna Humphroy! but'my fpot

Sandry glanced quickly back. Three
lumberjacks wore plodding up tho
slopo, their Beamed and woathored
faces sot intently on dinner. On one,
n red-headed chap of somo thirty-six
or eight, poworful and rugged, ho set
his sharp oyes.
"But I'm acquiring it." ho finished,
"rapidly. Discharge that man."
Dally did not turn.
"I can't." ho said, "ho'B Just quit."

Sometimes, to bo suro, It wns only n

night outsldo, but It had tho same
effect on tho young man from tho
midst of Uto In Now York.
Ho wns East nnd he know it. Also,
tho men had known It from that first
speech In the doorway of tho cook
shack. Thoy spoko of him among them

Thoy felt for him that contempt

Inexperienced. And with tho quick

now owner sensed tho feeling nmong

sonsatlons and Impressions which had
crowded thick upon him from tho first
and which ho had had no tlmu to
assort and got under control. Ho had
simply laid them away for futuro at
tention. '
In tho meantime ho went quickly at
tho work of settling himself In the
now environment. A load of lumber
was brought up tho slough on tho
punt from tho mill at Toledo and four
mon woro put to building a small of

roadlng donkoy, tho log-trail and tho

track and tho lower rollway, whero

duty done. After that thoy rolled
down with much splashing to tho nar
row ribbon of water which, with ev

lifted them high nnd trundled them,
grinding and groaning, slowly down,
perhaps to tho mill at Toledo, perhaps
to bo laced together with mammoth
chains, built into a groat raft and
towod out to tho ocean to voyago
along tho coast, down to southern Cal

wheezy tug fussed about tho b'ackwn

Inside tho now ofllco woro Installed
a roll-top desk, a enso of books, n mnp

small stovo. Hero, with tho four plno

last looked around and called himself
at homo. Tho drawers of tho now
desk woro full ot documonts and mem
oranda, the hlUory, with statistics and
rocords down to the minutest detail,
of tho Dllllngworth Lumber company.
Theso ho set himself to mastor as his
first stop toward tho vast golden goal
of tho dream that had brought him
wost.
Very shrewdly ho docidpd to tako

Big John Dnily had gono about (lur

When Walter Sandry settled quietly

The winnings of Western Canada at the Soil Products
Exposition at Denver were easily made. The list
comprised Wheat, Oats, Barley and Grasses, the most
important being the prizes for Wheat and Oats and
sweep stake on Alfalfa.
No less important than the splendid quality of Western
Canada's wheat and other grains, is the excellence of
the cattle fed and fattened on the grasses of that
country. A recent shipment of cattle to Chicago
topped the market in that city for quality and price.
Western Csaaja produced ia 1915 one-third as much wriest
l as all ef tho United States, or over 300,000,000 busneli. ,
Canada in proportion to population has a greater
exportable surplus of wheat this year than any
country in the world, ana at present prices you

The Newest Discovery in Chemistry
This ia a rocont dlscovory of Dr.
Piorco, who is head of tho Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Dr. Pierce's
Hospital for sovoral years proved that
thcro Is no other eliminator ot urio
acid that can bo compared to it. For
thoso easily rocognlzod symptoms ot
inflammation ns backncho, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in tho urine, or if uric
acid In tho blood has caused rheuma
tism, it is simply wonderful how suro
ly "Anurlc" nets. Tho host of rosults aro
always obtained in cases ot acute
rhoumatiam In tho Joints, in gravel
and gout, and Invariably the pains and
tlffnosB which bo frequently and por
slstontly accompany tho disease rap
Idly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug storo and
simply ask for a G0-cont packnge of
"Anurio" manufactured by Dr. Piorce,
or oven writo Dr. Piorco for a large
trial package (10c). If you suspect
kldnoy or bladder trouble send him a
sample of your vratei and describe
Bymptoms. Dr. PJorce's chemist will
oxamino it, thon Dr. Pierco will report
to you without feo or chargo.
NOTE. "Anurio" is thirty-seven
times moro active than lithia in elimi
nating uric acid, and is a harmless but
Tollable chemical compound that may
bo safely given to children, hut should
bo used only by grown-ups who actu
ally wish to restore their kldnoys to
porfect health, by conscientiously
using ono box or moro in extreme
cases ns "Anurlc" (thanks to Dr.
Pierce's achievement) is by far tho
most porfect kidney and bladder cor
rector obtainable.
