I ho Untied With td relator from And work do1 tic What a name and what a place cried Fred Shackle- as lie rolled rath er climbed from ihe great four- horse thai bad brought him- mother and sister and a toad of from lie faraway railway it at ion What did you expect his mother when be had at listed her to alight its just bat I expected with a laugh but I cant help ex- claiming over it It was Not a town not a village Just a collec tion of rough log cabins clustered about a big taw mill On all side what to the city bred Shackles iecrned stupendous mountains with lowering pines now hoary headed from the new fallen snow Cloie behind ibe mill a mountain torrent leaped from freedom down a declivity to find itself and compelled to turn the ponderous that kept screeching saws eating their ihe immense pine logs making them into lumber The din was unearthly and Fred boylike could scarcely wait to help unload and carry the goods the cabin which was to be their winter home ere rushing off to investigate thing Some litoe before a firm of brok ers in New called Snide Co had come into possession of a vast tract of pine land in Perm The only drawback was that the pine grew very high up on the mountains and was hard to get at The firm had not put much money into ir but were determined to make a lot out of it Early in August John Gruff who was one of the Co got two or three experienced lumbermen to go with and look ground over and see what could be done They found matters even worse than they had expected There was only one place where a saw mill could be and worked to advan tage and the mountains where the best pine stood were too steep and high for any of the usual modes of logging Mr- Gruff was at his wits end They couldnt use horses they couldnt make a because there were two ravines to cross What could they do A was spent in the and John Gruff was to give up all hope of getting at the limber when Silas Shackle one of the lumbermen suggested building a shoot such as is the West The very thing cried Gruff en- and the hour bad let Shackle the contract for its construction In less than a week a hundred men were at work on mountain culling down and squaring the togs on which the shoot was to be built surveying the route clearing off and levelling the ground for it bed etc etc- No lime was wasted for the work must be completed by first of December so it was hurried as fast as doing it well allow The shoot was to be three miles long six feet wide and ihe sides four feet ItVil be built of hewn logs and and securely with iron The first and a half were very sleep the next mile moderately so while last half mile was only whit one would call a good hill for There were two ravines to where a great deal of the work end secure But Mr Shackle under stood his business and so all went well By the time specified in the contract the woik done and the first log went down into the valley John Gruff bid been on th spot since early in November- and so con vinced was be that the slide would Finding everything worked as he expected he offered Silas the general manager which he promptly accepted Shackle was a good business man whom repeated misfortune had kept poor He had a wife and two children a boy of and and owned a home in the edge of Pittsburgh over which hung a black cloud in the shape of a mortgage He had expected Gruff to offer him this situation and had written to Ills wife about it- She him to accept arid fotthcr that she rent their house to her brother and she and the children come and spend the winter in camp Mr was with the idea but wr6lc Per a faithful account of the loneliness and foils she expect in the way of surround ings and was wild to go for he bad been for chafing over his confinement to reboot didnt like the plan at alb She was a dainty lady who loved to go to church and Sunday School and who was the pet of both teachers and mates How could she endure a whole long win ter with no panics or no but maybe some Norwegian or Ger man children Mrs Shackle smiled at her lilllc girls objections but decided lo go as it would enable them to save en ough to pay off the dreadful mortgage So one clear bright day about the middle of December saw their ar rival as I have described at ville so called from the broken at tempts of some of the foreign work men to pronounce the word shoot The log cabin was a novelty to all but it was warm and snug and they would be very comfortable in the two large rooms with what necessary fur niture they had brought from home The little was in a long oddly shaped valley from which the mountains broke ihe force of the wind but the snow lay banked high on every side The stream escap ing from ihe bondage of the mill formed a wide pond in the lower end of the Valley and then ran on to join its sister rivers far below This pond promised fine skating and steep sides of were toboggan slides All this Fred noted that first day and lie said lo his father as listened to the roar of a big log corning down the shoot Ill slide there some day on my toboggan Fred said Mr Shackle in the sternest tone ho had ever used to ihe- son he loved so dearly lor heavens sake doni for an instant harbor so mad and foolhardy an idea The boy made no reply but an ex- the father always dreaded jo sec settled about his mouth an ex pression of sullen obstinacy that al ways meant rnischitf Now before I go any farther let me tell you something about Fred Shackle He was city born and bred His father was much from home and thus the was not much looked though the mother did what she could He went to a ward school and associated with who ever came along good bad or in- different- He was wilh all this an good boy yet jetting into many a scrape because of one dis agreeable trait be possessed This was mulish obstinacy a determina tion to do whatever was opposed objected to by no matter whom The surest way lo gel him to do a thing was to tell him not to He never argued or made a simply wailed until ethers has dropped subject or forgotten and then went on an did it at no nutter what trouble or suffering to himself You can easily understand able trait is was and syhit a sorrow it was to hi parents They had learned of saying Ions to him and when he proposed some loolhardy project he was usually encouraged to proceed and thus left all dciire for it In the instance mentioned Mr Shackle re cognised ihe mistake he bad made on ihe instant but ihe madness of the project bad taken him by sur prise arid he hid before he thought Bui he said no more inwardly praying the dear God 10 look after ihe foolish lad and far once send common sense to his aid Fred never mcniiorcd the subject again and the father forgot it after a while in the press ol business Not so Fred There was not a day but he of ir and he used to spend perched on a high rock on one side of ih slide 110 logs go rushing down the valley Their passage down the first half of way was very swift but the lower part not be ing so their progress was slower Yet sometimes they would strike the Jog heap with such force as to split into hundreds of slivers Fred had no desire to be killed he spent much time studying how 10 avoid the log heap for the more he thought of it the more determined he was to some day go down the slide There was no chance for a lime for every hour in the day the logs were roaring and lie quite enough try it at So he watted keeping determination with his sullen per stance No up on the mountain some three miles back among the tall pines was a long three winced cabin called the lumbermens camp Tliis was where the choppers and team iters lived won cut ifce limber and hauled it to the shoot and their horses were kept in an adjoining log A few miles back in the woods was Camp No a and in these two places lived about a hundred These men bad begun their winters work the first of Dec working hard and steadily all through the month While others were enjoying Christmas festivities they chopped and away but when New Years day drew boll- was day To this the manager Mr could offer objection so an was tent to the valley people to spend the day at Camp No and preparation begun for their reception and entertainment Mrs Shackle had hesitated at first about going but ihe families were decent folks and she feared it would cause rouble if she refused Fred to go and showed much delight she at last consented- On the thy before several teams and were sent down for use and bright and early New Years morning saw all hands on the way It Was only six miles to the camp by the footway but fully fifteen by the road which tcamamuit follow The day fine the sleighing did and ride not the least enjoy able event of the day Fred Shackle went of the first loads that started and he hoped his mother and were enjoying the ride as much as he did Camp was reached in due time and a regu lar jollification continued all day The dinner was a feast fit for a king for the were men who thorough ly iheir ait Bear meat and venison took the place chickens and turkeys usual on such occasions but in no other respect was anything lacking After dinner Fred sneaked away to carry out his never forgotten scheme He had his to boggan along hidden in the bottom of the sleigh for the time he had hoped and planned for at last For several days no logs had been sent down from the mountain in order to give the mill hands a chance to clear away accumulation of brok en timber which had grown so great as to a hindrance in their work This work had been accomplished the day before and now nothing lay between the mouth of the shoot and the smooth ice of the pond but a in its of soft snow Here was a chance of a lifetime thought foolish Fred as he seated himself on bis to boggan and made himself fast with for the descent His heart almost failed as he looked down sleep slide worn smooth as glass by the passage of the logs but ihe demon of obstinacy urged on No one was in sight as he at last pushed himself off and it was too late for any possible change of Down down gaining in velocity al ways until he was conscious of but two things a terrible pressure on his chest that make him think he was dying and the roar of a thousand thunders in his ears The blood rushed from his nostrils and when at last his speed slackened on lesser he was almost in sensible a dually he recovered however until presently he was himself and could look about him The sides of the shoot prevented him from seeing anything close by but the valley lay outspread before like a map He was beginning to enjoy the swift ride when he saw two little girls play ing in the snow directly before the mouth of the shoot He knew one was by her red cloak and he had wondered all day why none of his folks were on the mountain He watched them with no anxiety at first for of course he thought they would hear him coming and get out of the way He could not know that the rushing sound that filled his ears went no further than the thick walls of the He was still with wonderful swiftness and at last real ized unless he could make the children hear him one or both would be kilted or seriously injured for the toboggan would strike them square ly- He never knew how dearly he loved that sweet liitle sister until in anguish of that moment Like a Hash it went through his mind that was a punishment for his wicked disobedience and he shrieked and despairingly Hi knew be a success that he had the saw mill and house for the workmen I near they declared in favor of a built before the long 1 trough completed tested they heard him fur paused n their play and looked around every where save towards the shoot wmch knew idle because of the mens holiday Oh prayed poor Fred that precious child- Never rnind I deserve anjlhingbut Just then he reached the mouth of the shoo felt a and knew no more The next he was conscious of was a terrible pain in his head and leg and hearing a voice saying and poor thing With a mighty effort he opened his eyes screaming Oh Have I kill ed her No no answered his mother and the smoothed his hair tenderly Milly is all right It was Barrow the pony you struck Be quiet now for you are hurt- But he could not be quiet until he had seen Mill and convinced him self of her Then his heart gave grateful thanks God for his goodness and he bote the pain of his broken leg with exceeding pa tience he found the reason his folks did not go on the mountain the unexpected arrival of his aunt uncle and couyn from Pittsburg Fred suffered too much to their visit The lesson was a bard one but it cured him and it
