THE oocaaional pertla eaeoaatered
1 by the professional timber-ernla.
er the man who goes mto the wilder,
neaa to investigate the value of tim
ber lands are well Illustrated by the
experience of Harvey Seeoin, of Bel
trami, Minnesota. -
Young Secoin had for eoma years
served as assistant to his uncle. Lot
Levering, a cruiser of wide experience
and high feet. Levering was, how
ever, at laat laid 1$ the heels by the
cruiser s arch-enemy, rheumatism, and
his young pupil waa called upon by
the Beltrami Lumber company to re
turn an estimate of the standing
timber on aome 20 odd square miles
of land they had bought, at a ven
ture, in the heart of Itasca county.
This was a vast territory, the lower
river courses et which were as yet
but uncertainly traced upon the maps.
While loading a wagon with his
boat and effects at Beltrami, Secoin
waa greeted by a smooth-faced strang
er, wearing a suit of drab corduroy
and a soft ha, This man presented
a card which read: Frederick ZaI
meier, Beal Estate, St. Cloud, Minn.
"I came on last evening's train," he
explained. "Just heard you were off
for the upper Big Fork. Yes, well,
I've got a piece of land up there I
want to look at. Struck me we might
kill two birds with one stone on the
livery hire. Besides, I'd like to go
with a man who knows the woodu."
As the man was prepossessing
enough the cruiser consented to ac
company him, and ten minutes later
Zalmcier was ready with blankets and
gripsack. Then, with an experienced
driver, the two land-lookers set out.
For a number of days they pushed
over a buBh-grown "surveyor's road,"
snd then travelled by boat for one day
upon, the spring flood of Big Fork.
Then the cruiser searched for a gov
ernment blaze and markings, and
took observations.
"We've passed your line a little," he
reported to Zalmcier. "You'll find
your markings by compass, six miles
east and one and one-half miles south
of here."
"Bless us, young man," said this
cheerful fellow, "how you know the
woods! I'm going to hire you to do
my job. I'll wait here until you get
back, and I'll take your word for it,
soli, timber stand "
"But I can't do your job now," in
terrupted Secoin.
"Not for 125?" -
"Not for twice ten times tSl" re
plied the cruiser indignantly. lie
thought a real estate man ought to
better understand a cruiser's duty to
bis employers.
Looking keenly at his companion,
he saw a swift, involuntary change of
countenance, and Instantly he tingled
with suspicion. Then he said, uncom
promisingly:
"Mr. Zalmeler, if yon know any
thing about cruising, yonll Had your
land easily. If you re afraid of the
woods, follow the river back to the
government road and go home."
"But," said Zalmeier, blankly, "I
prefer to go on with you now."
"That you can't do," promptly i
sponded the cruiser. "I've done by
you as I agreed, and I shall carry you
no farther. '
"Oh, well," said Zalmeier, cheer
fully, "since lire come so far, 111 have
to look after my land, of course," and
he shouldered his grip and blanket
roll and set off into the woods.
Secoin lost no time in paddling
down stream, and at about four
o'clock crossed the aouth line of the
pine lands which .he waa commis
sioned to estimate. He now exercised
a cruiser's caution, hiding his boat
and his camp within the depths of a
tamarack swamp, and wading to and
from solid ground by the compass.
He soon became much interested
in his work, and after a few daya of
running lines and taking observa
tions, he began to know that his re
port was to be very satisfactory in ita
final showing far beyond the ex
pectation of his employers.
lie had almost forgotten his
quondam companion ' when, - In run
ning a new line through an immense
stand of sky-scraping white pines, he
came upon fresh timber "slash" a
broad destructive piece of work,
which had laid low many thousands
of the giants.
very Bharply now he remembered
Frederick Zalmeier, and the rentle-
man's anxiety to aend him upon a for
eign errand. He understood in a flash
that, had he done that business, he
would have been left, minus boat and
supplies, to make hia way homeward;
and in the meantime a company of
timber thlaves would have got to
Bainy Late river with their booty,
rerhaps they had already done so.
becoin hurriedly followed the slash
to the river, where he discovered a
recently abandoned camp in the edge
of the timber. Following the river
several miles, he discovered that, the
thieves were driving logs not a arrest
distance below. Once they got thla
timber to Jlninly Lake river there
would bo no means of identifying a
log of It, and they could drift it at
leisure to the shore of Lake Superior.
The cruiser returned In much ex
citement to his ramp which, a day or
iwo before, he had advanced beyond
the tamarack swumn. It was dark.
bat on lighting a fire he saw a bulky
white envelope pinned to a near-by
tree-trunk, lie tore it from Ita fast
enings, and found it contained an
elaborate lumberman's estlmwte, in
duplicate, covering by forties every
action of the tract he had been sent
out to traverse. . A smaller envelone
contained a letter which readi
Me. Seeoin: Tou win pteaM slsa both
thesa estimates, return one to your folks,
and leave on with os. Tou will also

Jonea payable on demand by Oscar
Sterner, room It, Superior bulldlna. Du
luth. and money enough to pay your far
from Beltrami to Duluth. A word to
the wis, and so forth. Zalmeier.
The check was for $3,000, and was
accompanied by a worn $10 bill. The
young cruiser sat choking - with
wrath, yet not daring to act upon Im
pulse. The thief might be watching,
and meat be led to think that the
large bait he had flung was taken.
Secoin had no doubt that the check
would be made good upon hia signing
and returning a false estimateaa
underestimate, which would easily
discourage hia employers from far
ther venture; the thieves would re
tain the duplicate est mate, bearing
hie signature, aa a warranty that he
would fulfill hia part of the fraud.
They could well afford to pay a con
siderable sum for the certainty of
gleaning a fortune out of thla remote
wilderness.
The cruiser carefully bestowed the
envelope in an inside pocket, and
calmly set about getting his supper.
ITe was not surprised to discover that
all his supplies of food, except bare
ly enough to last four or five days,
had been stolen.
After die had enten, he rolled him
self in his blanket, not to sleep, but
to think.
East of him, as he knew from his
cruiser's msp, lay the Chippewa res
ervation of Moose lake, nnd he deter
mined to reach the agency there at
tne earliest possible moment.
lie lay in perfect quiet until the laat
ember of his little fire had flickered
out. Then, putting his hand-ax in its
sheath, he crawled cautiously for 100
yards or more in the direction in
which he wished to go. Then he rose,
and with a trained instinct for points
of the compass set out upon hia night
journey.
For several miles he hurried among
the great' trunks of white and Norway
pines, then across rolling jock-pine
lands, until he reached tho Moose
lake levels. Then he became en
tanged in a tamarack swamp; he
could see no stars, and his sense of
direction availed little. He lay in the
damp bog until daylight, and then
cut his way out. He reached Moose
lake agency at 11 o'clock In the morn-
Ingt The agent waa in his office, but
had little patience for Sccoin's story
and appeal for assistance.
"I can't help you," he aaid. "I eant
let an employe or on Indian leave

errands.
Weary and somewhat discouraged,
the cruiser set out to seek informa
tion from some one among the na
tives, and at the very least to secure
a gun and ammunition; but the In
dians and half-breeds scattered about
in cabins and bark lodgea regarded
with suspicion all hia efforts to inter
est them. .
After a vain attempt to exchange
bis ready money and hia ax for aa
effective breech-loader, he met on the
agency road a young man of about hia
own age, carrying a mefliclne ease.
This waa the agency physician, a new
attache at Moose lake. Seeoin Intro
duced himself, and the young doctor,
glad to aee a stranger, Invited him
into his office. . ,
There Secoin again told his story
and hia necessities, setting forth his
plan of action should he be able to
secure a messenger and a good gun
lor nimseli.
"So," said the doctor, his face
fluehed with excitement, "you propose
to tackle those fellows, if necessary
In that wayl" Ilia eyes shone with
admiration for the cruiser's pluck.
"I wish I could go with you, but my
hands are tied here. You may take
my express rifle and all my shells,
some of 'em explosive bullets, and
"payr You re we looms, man. New
just write what you wafers te ear te
your company, and 111 find a man to
get it to them. Sit down at my desk."
When the letter was ready, the doe
tor opened his medicine case and
handed the tired cruiser a small tab
let. "Swallow that," he said, "and go
Into the back room and fall on my
couch. IH wake you in time."
The cruiser laughed and obeyed.
Three hours later, much refreshed
and equipped for hta perilous under
taking, he bade Ma new friend good-
by, and again struck into the wilderness.
He traveled due northwest until
midnight, slept trpon a bed of pine
branches, and !4 hours later stood up
on a bluff, lookng down upon the low
er reaches of Big Fork.
He had timed the loggers' progress,
steered his own course and reckoned
that of the river with tolerable accur
scy. Not far below he presently saw
two or three drivers at work. Dodg
ing these men and making a detour of
several miles, he discovered a gang
breaking a small jam.
Shrewdly calculating that this ad
vance force would not finish before
nightfall, he made a fresh circuit and
camped nt the formation of a jam
where there was evidence that he had
pretty well covered the lower drift
of the "run."
He Immediately set to work rolling
up short lore, stumps and drift stuff.
Six or seveuiiours of hnrd labor gave
him a bullet-proof shelter some four
feet in height, built upon the center
of the jam. Inside this he laid a bed
of "baby pine." He had about six
days' rations, and water waa, of
course, within easy reach.
It waa two or three hours after
sunrise before he saw the advance
guard of the rlver-drivera. They
were coming leisurely over a rise
among the stumps, with pikes and
cant-hooks on their shoulders. At AO
yards or so hie odd-looking rampart
caught their attention, and the man
topped and stared. The cruiser roee,
showing his head and ehouklere, and
carelessly swung hie gun to a
rae2jr.' .
"You may as well go back, boys,"
be sang out. ."The Beltrami com
pany's in charge here."
- The river thieves stood with open
months for some seconds. Then one
of them spoke. "Guess that guy means
business, fellers." he said.
The others evidently agreed with
him, for they turned promptly upon
their heels. At the end of IS or to
minutes the cruiser heard men shout
ing above, and a foreman calling or
ders to some one to "go for the dyna
mite." There were no logs afloat to apeak
of, and the cruiser knew there was a
jam up above somewhere. Doubtless
they intended to "blow it," and so let
the whole raft down upon him. But
he felt no fear; his jam was too solid
to be pushed by a raft.
An hour passed, with no demonstra
tion from above. Then came a dull
boom of dynamite, which sounded a
quarter-mile or more up-river.
Presently a log appeared sailing
round a bend some 200 yards above;
but hardly had the timber heaved in
eight when it disappeared in the foam
and spurt of a surface explosion. In
stantly the cruiser understood. By
means of dynamite floated down
against his jam and exploded, these
river thieves intended to break it or
to annihilate him.
Secoin waa worried. Stick dyna
mite, such aa rtvor men use, is a low
explosive, to be shot only by fulminat
ing cops, but very powerf ul. It works
downward so that, under slight con
finement, a few pounds will fairly
empty a creek channel of Its water or
of its obstructions.
- While the cruiser watched, another
log appeared, but was caught in an
eddy, and was finally exploded within
50 yards of his jam. Another came
on and burst at the edge of the raft;
splinters shrieked spitefully above
bis head, but these small charges were
tentative. The thieves were timing
their waterproof fuse.
After another interval of quiet, two
large log lashed together swept
round the bend.
"Now look out!" thought the
cruiser. These timbers also were
caught In a tumbling eddy. They were
tossed, heaved and hustled, and for a
moment Seeoin hoped they might be
held until thair shots went off, but
they were presently flung out of the
whirlpool, although wrenched apart
at one end.
Aa they floated upon smoother wa
tcr, the head and rfm of a large keg
came to the surface a keg which had
been lashed beneath, but was now
forced upward by the break that had
spread tne timbers.
Secoin knew perfectly well that the
keg was filled with stick dynamite, a
hundred pounds at least, and carried
enough long fuse and caps to insure
its explosion against the jam.
- Should he run for it? Very likely
he would be shot by men lying in
wait. Yet certain destruction await
ed hlan at the jam unleas he swiftly
unloaded his rifle and refilled Its snag
asine with seme shells loaded with ex
plosive bullet. If he could put one of
those Inside.
He afaned and fired quickly. His
first shot missed. His second struck
the keg and exploded, splintering Its
rim. The big torpedo was getting
dangerously near. In frantic haste,
the cruiser fired a fusillade at hi
growing target four, five, six, seven
shots, and the river suddenly parted
in mid-cnanneL
The sight was appalling. Two hugs
aheete were blown out upon either
bank, and a vertical wave ten feet
high rolled swiftly In upon the jam
For a moment Secoin gave himseli
up for lost. He looked for the jam
to part under hia feet.
Then the edge of the big raft above
wae lifted, Ita great logs tumbled and
piled upon one another until the heap
formed a breakwater through the In
terstices ef which snouts and jeta fell
upon the logs below. For several min
utes the water rushed against and
through this suddenly formed and
effective dam. Then the commotion
subsided, leaving the jam doubly ef
fective against any kind of a "break"
which river men may devise.
In reaction from his recent fright
the cruiser became hilarious. In a
reckless . exuberance of spirit he
climbed behind the new rampart, and
turning his gun upon the pine stubs
up-river, bombarded them furiously
with explosive bullets.
The thieves had doubtless expend
ed all their dynamite, for. they both
ered the plucky eruiser no more.
Two days passed before he ventured
out of cover. Then, making cautious
explorations, he found a deserted
drivers' camp and a clear field. A
week went by, and he waa living on
game rations when armed men from
Beltrami came to hia rescue.
Secoin finished hie work without
further obstruction, and at the end
crossed to Moose lake agency to re
turn the borrowed gun. His friend,
the doctor, listening to his story with
shining eyes, said, "I wish I'd been
there." Youth's Companion.
