The spring drive of log* down the West Canada creek, an Adirondack stream,.five years ago, was remarkable tor a nutqber of unusual events. To begin wUb.lt was larger by millions of feet than any ever before floated down this stroom. It was floated In record time, too. for the snow went off with a rush after the Ice had gone out. Consequently the creek was brimming, and on this flood tide came the logs by the

tens of thousands.

To roll stranded logs from the banks and to break the jaroe. there was ,a gang of more than GO strong, daring men. They rode the torrent and fell tn a dosen times a week, but at lost

Among the rest of the boys at WH- ! mart. Will ■Conway. 16 years old that : spring, was renowned. He knew the ; trcck. the places where the deer • crossed It. the brooks that the mink j followed and the pools the trout lurked j In. Bat he wasn't satisfied with the i money he earned selling trout and trapping mink. He wanted to moke < lolly wages like'a man. So he went 'to Qeorge Koch, the boss driver, and ackcd to go with his gang; bat Koch told the lad be wasn’t big enough yet to handle a cant-hook. It was a heavy disappointment to Will. If hurt his pride; besides, the family needed the money. But as argument was of no avail. Will was a mere spectator on the bank Just above Mad Tom's gorge when the driving oeew arrived there on a Saturday

morning.

That was the best place on the creek to see the drive. A big boulder had come oiit of the deep water above the gorge and lodged there In midstream at the.brink of the tumult. IU broad, ugly head two feet above the surface level. Against It logs were hanging every minute, making the worst Jam of the season. It was already 200 yards

long.

The mere fact that It was a big Jam was something, bnt that was not all. Whoever broke this Jam mast surely go through the gorge—a third of amlle of the wildest plunging water, where the flood piles up first against one rock ledge, then against the other, and finally glides Into the foaming tumble st the head of Mad Tom's pool. In i which men have disappeared.

In the days when jams with cant-hooks and axee, tl always tried to keep ahead of the rush of logs lest they be crushed among tbem; but In these days of high explosives one must take one's chances at the other end; and this Is not the safest place, when all the logs are moving and grinding together. The fuse was long and burned slowly. Will was at the bead of the Jam loni; before the explosion came. He waited with the pike-pole balancing. The onlookers stood on tiptoe. The roar tn the gorge was not quieting to any one's nerve*, but at last a dosen logs were lifted Into the air, epllntered and broken, and the boulder diauppcared In smoke and spray. . There was not so much noise as one might think; just a sound that traveled low down, but a long dlitance. A 50-foot dome of gray spray, speckled with large block sticks and yellow splinters 10 feet long, flashed up. and then Will Conway poised for a life and

death struggle.

The JaMi quivered from end to rad. It broke to pieces In great masse*. Some logs came jutting up out of the black water; hundreds plunged in with mighty sploshing. All were tossed and

pitched.

Suddenly Will crouched, dropped hl» left shoulder, struck the Iron pole point home In a log. and then sprang forward and up—up. while the log he had Just left plunged down Into the vortex. He struck fairly on his feet and ran lightly over the uneasy logs to the motionless one*. Then the crowd on $hore towed It*‘arms and cheered. The firsthand lewt of the dangers was over»me.

Will walked down the Jam. stepping from log to log. taking hla time all the way. The crush at the boulder was very great. He looked the tangle over; some of the logs fairly stood on end, others were piled croWwlae and lengthwise. A bl* one. IU back splintered— almost broken—was evidently the key. As it lay broadside to the current, the water poured over It six Inches deep

at one end.

The other logs were thrust over and under it. and were lodged against the boulder. Just below the key log. in

At last the aapllng was shored home, the dynamite was three feet under water and the rad of the !use was nearly a foot above the surface. Then Will stood np and looked Into the gorge be-

low.

He knew how the water ran there, for he had lived within a mile of It all his life.
