“How much do you need?" she asked

1 .“jyhy, It’s nothing!" she cried.
“I’m' glad you think so,” he replied
grimly.
She ran to her dainty escritoire,
where she scribbled eagerly for a few
moments.
‘There/’ she cried, her eyes shining—
“there my check book all signed in
blank. And I’ll see that the money is
there.”
So it was that Hilda Farrand gave
her lover confidence, brought him out
from his fanaticism, launched him
afresh into the current of events. He
remained in Chicago all that summer,
giving orders that ail work at the vil
lage of Carpenter should cease. With
his affairs that summer we have little
to do. His common sense treatment of
the stock market, by which a policy of
quiescence following an outright buy
ing of the stock which he had previous
ly held on margins, retrieved the losses
already sustained and finally put both
partners on a firm financial footing.
That is another story. So. too. is his
reconciliation with an understanding of
his sister. It came about through Hil
da, of course. Perhaps in the inscruta
ble way of Providence the estrange
ment was of benefit, even necessary,
for it had thrown him entirely within
himself during his militant years.
Let us rather look to the end of the
summer. It now became a question of
reopening the camps. Thorpe wrote to
Shearer and Radway, whom he had re
tained, that he would arrive on Satur
day noon, and suggested that the two
begin to look about for men. Friday,
himself, Wallace Carpenter, Elizabeth
Carpenter. Morton. Helen Thorpe and
Hilda Farrand boarded the north bound
train.
CHAPTER XXXVII.
T r “”“" HE train of the South Shore rail
road shot its way across the
broad reaches of the northern
peninsula.
Thorpe welcomed the smell of the
northland. He became almost eager,
explaining, indicating to the girl at his
side.
“There is the Canada balsam." he
cried. “Do vou remember how I showed
it to you first? And yonder the spruce.
How stuck up your teeth were when
you tried to chew the gum before it had
been heated! Do you remember? Look,
look there! It’s a white pine! Isn’t it a
grand tree? It’s the finest tree .in the
forest, by my way of thinking, so tall,
so straight, so feathery and so digni
fied. See, Hilda, look quick! There’s an
old logging road all tilled with raspber
ry vines. We'd find lots of partridges
there, and perhaps a bear. Wouldn’t
you like to walk down it about sunset?”
“Yes, Harry.”
“I wonder what we’re stopping for.
Seems to me they are stopping at every
squirrel’s trail. Oh, this must be Sen
ey. Y’es. it is. Queer little place, isn’t
it, but sort of attractive? Good deal
like our town. You have never seen
Carpenter. Lave you? Location’s fine
anyway, and to me it’s sort of pictur
esque. You’ll like Mrs. Hathaway.
She’s a buxom, motherly warn an who
runs the boarding house for eighty men
and still finds time to mend my clothes
for me. And you'll like Solly. Solly’s
the tug captain, a mighty good fellow,
true as a gun barrel. We’ll have him
take us out some still day. We’ll be
there in a few minutes now. See the
cranberry marshes. Sometimes there's
a good deal of pine on little islands
scattered over it, but It's very bard to
log unless you get a good winter. We
had just such a proposition when I
worked for Radway. Oh, you’ll like
Radway. He’s as good as gold. Helen!’’
“Yes,” replied his sister.
“I want you to know Radway. He’s
the man who gave me my start.”
“All right Harry,” laughed Helen.
“I’ll meet anybody or anything from
bears to Indians.”
“I know an Indian, too —Geezigut, an
Ojibway. We called him Injun Charley.
He was my first friend in the north
woods. He helped me get my timber.
This spring he killed a man—a good
job. too—and is hiding now. I wish I
knew where he is. But we’ll see him
some day. He’ll come back when the
thing blows over. See! See!”
“What?” they all asked, breathless.
“It’s gone. Over beyond the hills
there I caught a glimpse of Superior.”
“Y’ou are ridiculous. Harry.” protest
ed Helen Thorpe laughingly. “I never
saw you so. You are a regular boy.”
“Do you like boys?” he asked gravely
of Hilda.
“Adore them!” she cried.
“All right; I don’t care.” he answered
his sister iD triumph.
The air brakes began to make them
selves felt, and shortly the train came
to a grinding stop.
“What station is this?” Thorpe asked
the colored porter.
“Sbingleville, sah,” the latter replied.
“I thought so. Wallace, when did
their mill burn, anyway? I haven’t
heard about it.”
“Last spring, about the time you
went down.”
“Is that so? How did it happen ?”
" A CONFIDENTIAL CHAT.
"It’s perfect nonsense, Bessie, for you to
talk of being laid on the shelf. Why, it all
depends on yourself. Forget your worries,
your aches and ailments ; do as I did, take
plenty of out-of-door air, cultivate happi
ness by not allowing your mind to dwell
on the trifles and the worries of life. I sent
thirty-one cents in stamps to Dr. R. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., for his ‘Common
Sense Medical Adviser,’ and found it con
tained much useful jnformatiQn about the
care of my health, about physiology, anat
omy, and everything a woman should know.
I then to write Dr. Pierce and tell
him all about my aiiiaentg, I received
such a nice, carefully considered and con
fidential letter, in reply, giving me advice
about my diet, exercise ana ail. This
advice is free to everyone and 1 wondsf you
don’t write him at once, It didn’t take ttHf
many months to regain my good looks.
Ever since I was fifteen I have suffered
untold agonies periodically but now I am
free from pain, worry and bad temper. Oc
casionally I took Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets —this for the complexion, and to
stimulate the liver. Then I took Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription three times
a day for those womanly weaknesses
I told you about. That’s my secret of
beauty. It’s the easiest thing in the world
to be happy and keep one’s good looks.
Look at the thousands of women who have
been made well by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription; look how they keep their
good looks. Dr. Pierce offers SSOO reward
for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weak
ness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which
he cannot cure. All he asks is a fair and
reasonable trial of hi 9 means of cure."
“They claim incendiarism,” parried
Wallace cautiously.
Thorpe pondered a moment, then
laughed. “I am in the mixed attitude
of the small boy.’’ he observed, “who
isn’t wicked enough to wish anybody’s
property destroyed, but who wishes
that if there is a fire, to be where he
can see it. I am sorry those fellows
had to lose their mill, but it was a
good thing for us. The man w’ho set
that fire did us a good turn. If it
hadn’t been for the burning of their
mill they would have made a stronger
fight against us in the stock market.”
Wallace and Hilda exchanged
glances. The girl was long since aware
of the inside history of those days.
“You’ll have to tell them that,” she
whispered over the back of her seat
“It will please them.”
“Our station is next!” cried Thorpe,
“and it’s only a little w r ays. Come,
get ready!”
They all crowded into the narrow
passageway near the door, for the train
barely paused.
“All right, sah.” said the porter,
swinging down his little step.
Thorpe ran down to help the ladies.
He was nearly taken from his feet by
a wildcat yell, and a moment later that
result w r as actually accomplished by
a rush of men that tossed him bodily
on to its shoulders. At tlie same mo
ment the mill and tug whistles began
to screech and miscellaneous firearms
exploded. Even the locomotive engineer,
in the spirit of the occasion, leaned
down heartily on his whistle rope.
The sawdust street was filled with
screaming, jostling men. The homes
of the town were brilliantly draped
with cheesecloth, flags and bunting.
For a moment Thorpe could not make
out what had happened. This turmoil
was so different from the dead quiet of
desertion he had expected that he was
unable to gather his faculties. All
about him were familiar faces upturn
ed to his own. He distinguished the
broad, square shoulders of Scotty Par
sons, Jack Hyland. Kerlie, Bryan Mo
loney; Ellis grinned at him from the
press; Billy Camp, the fat and shiny
drive cook; Mason, the foreman of the
mill: over beyond howled Solly, the
tug captain; Rollway Charley. Shorty,
the chore boy; everywhere were fea
tures that he knew.
As his dimming eyes traveled here
and there, one by one the Fighting
Forty, the best crew of men ever gath
ered in the northland, impressed them
selves in his consciousness. On the
outskirts sauntered the tall form of
Tim Shearer, a straw peeping from be
neath his flax white mustache, his eyes
glimmering under his flax white eye
brows.
Big Junko and Anderson deposited
their burden on tho raised platform of
the office steps. Thorpe turned and
fronted the crowd.
At once pandemonium broke loose, as
though the previous performance had
been nothing but a low voiced rehear
sal.
“Ob, aren’t you proud of him?” gasp
ed Hilda, squeezing Helen’s arm with
a little sob.
In a moment Wallace Carpenter, his
countenance glowing with pride and
pleasure, mounted the platform and
stood beside bis friend, while Morton
and the two young ladies stopped half
way up the steps.
At once the racket eeasM. Every
one stood at attention.
“Mr. Thorpe.” Wallace began, “at
the request of your friends here, I have
a most pleasant duty to fulfill. They
have asked me to tell you how glad
they are to see you. That is surely un
necessary. They have also asked me
to congratulate you on having won the
fight with our rivals.”
“You done ’em good!” “Can’t down
the old fellow!” muttered joyous voices.
“But,” said Wallace. “I think that I
first have a story to tell on my own ac
count.
“At the time the jam broke this
spring we owed the men here for a
year’s work. At that time I. considered
their demand for wages ill timed and
"Men,” cried Thorpe.'
grasping. 1 wish to apologize. After
the money was paid them, instead of
scattering, they set to work under Jack
Radway. They have worked long hours
all summer. They have invested every
cent of their year’s earnings in supplies
and tools, and now they are prepared to
show you in the company’s booms
3,000.000 feet of logs rescued by tbeir
grit and hard labor from total loss.”
At this point the speaker was inter
rupted. “Saw off!” “Shut up!” “Give us
n rest!” growled the audience. “Three
million feet ain’t worth talkin’ about!”
“You make me tired!” "Say your little
say the way you oughter!” “Found pur
ty nigh two millions pocketed on Mare’s
Island, or we wouldn’t ’a’ had that
much!” “Fool's undertaking, anyhow!”
"Men.” cried Thorpe, “I have been
very fortunate. From failure success
has come. But never have I been more
fortunate than In my friends. The firm
is now on its feet. It could afford to
lose three times the logs it lost this
year”—
lie paused and scanned their faces.
“But,” he continued suddenly, “it can
not now or ever can afford to lose what
those 3.000,000 feet represent the
friends it has made. I can pay you
back the money you have spent and
the time you have put in”— Again he
looked them over, and then for the first
time since they had known him his
face lighted up with a rare and tender
smile of affection. "But, comrades, I
shall not offer to do it. The gift is ac
cepted in the spirit with which it was
offered”—
He got no further. The air was rent
with sound. Even the members of his
own party cheered. From every direc
tion the crowd surged inward. The
women and Morton were forced up the
platform to Thorpe. The latter mo
tioned for silence.
“Now. boys, we have done it,” said
he. “and so will go back to work. From
now on you are my comrades in the
fight.”
His eyes were dim. his breast heaved,
his voice shook. Hilda was weeping
from excitement. Through the tears
she saw them all looking at their lead
er, and in the worn, hard faces glowed
the affection and admiration of a dog
for its master. Something there was
especially touching in this, for strong
men rarely show it. She felt a great
wave of excitement sweep over her.
Instantly she was standing by Thorpe.
“Oh!" she cried, stretching her arms
out to them passionately. “Oh, I love
you. I Jove you all!”
THE END.
Artificial Diamonds.
Evert body has heard of the arti
ficial diamonds which the French
chemist Ilenri Moissan produced
several years ago by fusing in an
electric furnace a mass of iron rich
in carbon and then suddenly cooling
it. The minute crystals formed in
the cooled mass were regarded as
true diamonds. But now another
Frenchman, M. Combes, attacks
Moissan’s conclusions and declares
that the crystals in question are
not diamonds, from which they
differ in their refractive proper
ties. M. Combes also argues that
nature forms diamonds at a com
paratively low temperature, and in
support of this position he quotes a 1
statement which will be new to most
readers —namely, that Messrs. Goep
pert and Friedel have found plant
remains in diamonds.
Her Strain of White Blood.
When the Washington friends of
the bill to give former Queen Liliuo
kalani $150,000 were talking the
matter over in the senate lobby aft
er the' adverse vote recently, Mr.
Tillman, who had voted against the
measure, expressed regret, accord
ing to the Kansas City Journal, that
the dusky daughter of savage kings
did not seem able to understand the
strong prejudice existing in some
parts of the country against the
black races. “Now, if she could show
a strain of white blood!” he exclaim
ed, and looked defiantly around.
“Beg your pardon, Tillman/ 1 re
torted Senator Lodge. “Have you
forgotten that her great-granduncle
ate Captain Cook ?”
In the roar that followed Mr. Till
man said something about recon
sidering the vote.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.
For many years It has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the Juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
relieves all inflammation of the mucous
membranes lining the stomach, protects the
nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a
sense of fullness after eating, indigestion,
dyspepsia and ail stomach troubles.
