Cnrdlfl' nnd Findlay , the rep , resentntlves , came the next morning to unham's office.

"Well , I guess the prlco Is near enough rIght , bors , If we can anI ) get together on the question of de. lIvery. Of course , It Is understood that time Is the essence of this con. tract. When can ) 'ou deliver those ties In our yards at Archer , Mr. Car. , dlff7" The blaclc brows of the Badger representative - sentative contracted as he gazed decp into the silent woods. "Uetween April 1st and 10th , . depending on how f eon the breale-up c Hnes. " li'lndlay sat 1001lng at them In grim silence , and Dunhnm , after gIvIng him plenty of time In 'wHich to malee a bid , husleed n dry cough from his voIce and went. on , thoughtfully : "Pretty late , but I don't suppose I ask ' to dell ' them b ' ' can ) 'ou vel' ) all'shlp at those figures. Our minds have met as to the price , and , of course , which one of you gets the contract" nmi ; : . difference to me. But Inasmuch as Mr. Cardiff spoleo first and Mr. Findlay can't better the bid I suppose I might as well , let Cardlfl'- " "Hold on , " brolee In Flnellay as hlB jaw suddenly thrust Itself out. "If I give you a $50,000 bond that I will deUver those ties at Archer , March 1st , 30 days before 1\11' . Cflrdlff's date , do I get that , contract7" Dunham glanced at Carellll' , and CardIff - dIff , staring stupidly at his rival , sallj nothing at all. So , presently , Dunham answered "yes , " and at that word Findlay - lay arose. . So , with that the Incident ended , anl1 John Findlay strode awa ) ' , as many an : ' other victor hns done , his heart thumpIng - Ing triumphantly amI nls brain sick with fear. . Long and bitter had been the fight that he. and his half Invnlid brother Joe hnd waged in those cold north woods , and to lose out now s1 > ellel1 ruin just as their st r of hope was rising brightly above the horizon. I "Of course , there Is only one way to carry out that contract , Joe , " said John , "and that is to build an Ice road from Camp 3 to Archer. When I fixed the ! tate with Dunhnm I thought you and I could figure out a route through this swamp and ridge country , but It seems that we'can't maleo good. And there Is only one man I lenow who can and ho Is James Livingston Flhit , 'White Horse , ' we used to call him-and , of course , as our luck would have It , he is way up In Alnslca countr ) ' somewhere. But J'm I going after him. I'll be bacle before the first of December and I'll bring him with me , al1ve If possible , but anyway I'll bl'lng him. I'd rather have 1"lInt dead thnn any other man In the pin- eries alive. " So that nllht John Findlay pacled his grip and departed for the while land. It was way out Semi now way that Findlay found his man. White Horse built the road In a little - tle less th1m three weeles , but he only slept on an average of four hours a night whllo he did It. As for the men who worked under him during that frenzied period , they cursed him wltI- out Intermission while the worle was , going ; on , and are stili braggIng about having had hand and foot In It. or course It seems Incredible , but It Is astonishing how much 70 hard-drlvcn , men and 20 good teams can do In three weeks when they worl. 18 hours a day. The road was finished on the 24th or December , and It was a good thing to , " , , ok at. hrlstmas morning came clear and bitterly cold. Heavy feet crunched the brittle snow without the coole shop or ' 1amp 3 , and at the 11'rst sound White Horse thrust a heavy , automatic pistol Into his pocket and then leaned in- 'dolently against the logs with his hnnds burled deeply In his poclcct. The next Instant the door was burst open nnd In lurched a body of woos- men who , crowding Into the corners or the cabin , left the center ot the 11001' empty , while Lebenu , who led them , steIJped forward and spole : "Bnh , you mnn tram Chill Cnt. Lllee a dog ) 'ou worle us In ze cold to mnleo . ze cursed Ice rend Like a loup garou you drive us answln \ your cant-haole when zo moon shine.

" I Out Into the open all' he rwaggerM , his band behind him , and White Horse heard them go roaring down the Ice road with nearly the whole cnmp en train. And as the Inst yell died away ! the forehend of the wnllelng bas' ! wl'lnleled like a pool Into which fl. IJebblo Is tossed and tense lines lound ) his lips . closely t01other.

' .1'110 crisis had come , ntul White Horse , arIsing , walleed to the wIndow nnd stood mood. lIy starIng Into the silent w'oodS. WithIn the log saloon six miles down the road the nolso of the revelry arose , In ever increa lng vo1\1I11e. 'rho 11001' oC the shaele Buddonly opened and thu tnll form at White Horse towered before them. Calmly. but with each word forcefullns n. bullet - let , White 1101'80 RpOIC. \ "ThIs thing Is goIng to stop. I"'e got to ha"e ) 'ou In the woods to-1I10rrow and ) ' 011 must get ll11cl , to camp whllo ) 'OU are able to walk. 1'\0 been a patient mnn to-dny , but I'\'e reached my limit : Now qlcan out of here before I clean you. ' . ' . ' ' Sullenly they turned \lpoI ) him , shifting on their feet and glancIng at each other uneasily. And , soelng their doggedneES , an ominous glitter II I HELD A FLA\II G IATCII ABOVE 1'1' , suddenlame into the gray orbs of the boss , and roughly he shouldered his way to the back of the shacle and drew n. small cylinder [ rom his pocket. "Dynamite cartridge with a two-min- ute tall , " he said as ho/ sat It uIJon the wood box and held a lIamlng match above it. "You want to dance und lIght some more do 'ou.Vell , unless you hike out of here 'ou'll all bo doing a quick-step to-night for the dovil. " No man lenew just how far White Horse would go In the enforcement of an order , ' and now no no waited to see. Struggling , cursing , roaring they fought their wa ' out of the door and went swarming down the tracIe , whllo the boss , extinguishing the tuse , stepled out on to the trampled sriow and throw his cartridge deep Into the woods. Far down the tracle the runawnys were staggering - gering Into the distance , wrangling anll hoWlfng Insanely. The afternoon sun sanle until It seemed to rest on the tops or the western - ern forest lIlee n broad gold piece poised delicately. And the walIclng boss , aris- g 1rom a log beside his cutler where he bud sat for an hour following the rout , climbed up to the seat. Back along the rough woods trail he went until the glooming Ice road lay before hIm , then turned upon It. As his half-galloping ponies swung around a bend of the forest road , they suddenly arose upon their hInd legs with wild pawlngs at the air. Less than a dozen yards In front of them and I ) ' . Ing tlut upon his bacl , on the Ice , was the first of the fallen that White Horse hnd feared would litter the homeward route. The legs of the lumber-jncle Jtlcleed spasmodically and White Horse , shortening - ening his reins , leaped to the Ice. "lan't leave you here to freeze up solllt , " he grunted as he dumped the limp form headlong Into the sleigh box behind. "But I'll malee you pay for this rIde to- morrow. " At the next turn or the road the .1Irst oath thnt hacI escaped his lips that da ) ' burst from him explosively. . Fairly In front of him , loclccd In each other's arms as they had gene to sleep fighting , were Jlmmp Hard Boots uncI Ole Sawlog. Along the next hundred - dred ) 'ards four moro mon were strewn like slclrmlshers fallen in battle. One by one the wallelng 1I0ss labori- ouslr raised them and plIed them upon each other In the box , wedglhg the Inst man firml ) ' between the dashboard and the scat. The moon sailed high IInd the blaclc shadows or the forest lay heavily upon the clearings. White Horse , hurrying hack from Camp 2 , where he had been summoned to quell nn luclplent riot , drew a deep breath as he throw open the door of the cool , shop. "They I1re sleeping all right now. They'll be In fall' shllle to breal , their bncks again tomorrowlnd most Wee- I ) ' they won't lIcle up another drop or firewater until after the drive In the spring. Poor devils ! Them Isn't much pleasure In this world for them-not much-not much. " And this Is how White Horse delivered - ered an Imposslblo contract for Flndlny Urothers on tlmo to the dot , with scarce i an hour to spare betwcen success aud a $50,000 loss.

How tenderly their health should be preserved , not by constant medication , but by c eful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious - ous or objectionable nature , and If at any time a remedial agent is required , to assist nature , only those of known excellence should be used ; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect , like the pleasant laxative remedy , Syrup of Figs , manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co , Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many mil1lons of well informed f mllies , whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use , Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally , because they know it is wholesome , simple and gentle in its action.Vc inform all reputable - ble physicians as to the me lclnal principles of Syrup o Figs , obtained , by an original method , from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are .
