Wilson who sat in lone astonishment
amidst the debris of the , vanquished
meal. Already the coolc and eookee
were falling upon the empty plates
and bearing them away in beige dish-
pans as they darted quick glances' of
disapproval at the new man who had
scarcely a dozenmouthful to his

a words had taken place among the
seventy feeders during the progress of
the meal and that had eccurred in the
twinkline of an eye A man at the

one athis elbow to pass him the rneat

for them to cheat the rag at the table
instead of chewing the grub? Eat

Lord will let you and give me them

the cook's words swept Wilson's voice
away, ana for the first time realizing
the enormity of the other's daily duties
he bolted a few mare mouthfuls, gulp-
ed down his tea and left the shanty
for the deacon bench among his fel-
lows in the bunkhouse.
They looked at him with mingled
curiosity and distrust, seeming. to en-
deaeior to sniff his atmosphere as
beasts do the atmosphere a unfamiliar

Gradually the conversation resumed
its wonted swing, of the day's cut,
•the bang of axes, the best drag teeth
of saws and the multitudinous small
incidents of the day, until as nine

They descended a hill and entered a
swamp *here the drifted snow lay
thigh deep away from the trail. Work-
ing like beavers- amongst the cedars
were two great bearded Norwegians,
and Flint jerking hurried order over
his shoulder to his follower to remain
where he was, broke his way to the
side of the pantand, ran _his eyes over
the cut -of the day before with quick
measuring of butts and tops and sharp
Priticisine. "You are cutting stuff that
is too small and you ought to` be able
to see it with a glass eye. That pole
you just sawed wouldn't make a lead

- Atlitete though -he' -had been --and

rooted to the spot_ by a feeling that
was almost awe as he ea -w the. prowess

longtand which' would have been a faie

Poles that an ordinary strong man
would have staggered mederithey sent
. flying tlieough the trees Almost lance -
like with tremendous sweeps of their
arms. Oea.selessly their saws rang,
their axes bit, the poles flew and the
burden beating went on until at the
end of fifteen 'minutes the watcher
wondered that they did not drop ex-
hausted in their traeks, yet he knew
that this was but the first half hour
of tile long day's work. Flint return-
ing threw aside his ax and led cia to
where the road ended abruptly a-
• mongst the brush.
• "Here is where you begin. We want
to put this roaddthrough to the stream

can. Mow . down that brush into a

out of the road that will catch a
runner or a hoof. What you can't
handie alone I'll send the horses in to
drag out after you get through. Keep
busy no* because I'll check you up in
a day or two." With these words he
was gone back along the road, leaving
the road monkey to his lone fight. a-
gainst the forest.
With the misgivings with. which a

swarnper, selected. a sapling that bar-

buried itself in the frozen earth, while
the smiter, wairled from his balance
by the force of the blow, nearly fell
upon: it. He regained bis poise, step-
ped a foot nearer and tried again. with
less force and more caution. Thietahe

What had.seemed to him at least four
hours had in reality been but two. And
fourmore must drag ,themselves by
before noon with its biassed respite
would free him for the time being
from his task. Then would follow a
half mile walk to. damp which would
consume- precious minutes, a hurried
gulping down. of dinner, a fifteen
minutes' rest and the tramp back a-
gain to five hours more of backbreak-
aeg. As he looked forward to what

that he could last out the day, and the
impulse was almost irresistible to

'miles further on, when he seehied to
taste his own '.blood and the world
swam dizzily in a sky of red. Then,
as though looking at himself in a mir-
ror,' he saw the stumble and fall from
exhaustion and the slow crawl to th
creek where he lay upon his stomaeh
in the water for five precious minutes
before he arose for the Thad two miles'
spurt, refreshed and breathing- easily
once more but with Chase a good two
hundred yards in the lead. He had
believed that he was hopelessly behind,
yet he had struggled' on datintlesety
and when the end came had fallen un-
conscious under under the tape a yariain the
lead, a winner by sheer grit and driv-
ing power of will. Well, he was far
from being in perfect physical condi-
tion now, but at least he still had his
grit. His breath had returned and he
arose and fell upon his task again,
more slowly and methodically now but
learning his ax with every stroke.
Even at this sloweti rate of working
he doubted his ability to last out the

CHAPTER IV
Six weeks of monotonous toil, barren
of all things that made life worth the
living, save perfect health, passed
slowly over Wilson's head. . But physi-
cal suffering. was now a thing of the
past The callouses upon his hands
were hornlike; and his endurance seein-
ed ias endless as that of the mighty
Norwegians themselves. Incompar-
able -air vitaliz,ed and filtered by seows
and pine, combiued with . well-nigh
ceaseless exertion and an abundance,
of wholesome food and profound slum-
bers had done their work welle_and
• he stood among his companions a
stronger and more enduring mate than
he had been in the height of Ins phys-
ical renown. His muscles were swol-
len again, and.tt his every movement
they played beneath his -white skin
like miniature billows beneath a
smooth sea. He had gained nearly a
score �f pounds in weight, yet not an
ounce of uesless flesh was upon him.

nails. And in looks he had improved
almost beyond belief. His beard, short
and jet black, he wore neatly trimmed,
and snow that he no imager, especially
feared detection. he had discarded. his
disfiguring glasses. Neither did his
head any longer look like the back of
a clipped porcupiife, but bore hair long
enough to make 6, comb indispensable.
He was a silent man, doing his work
with few words -and often with
thoughts that were far away, for never
during his Waking hours did the dull
ache within - his bosom cease except
when Grayford's face as he had last
ieen it arose before- him. At those
times something seemed to pierce him
through and through, and he Would
