Not that “No My real Job — my real tough nut — Is being administrator The McManus estate for an estate which is nothing more than as pretty a piece of hardwood as ever stood outdoors The Hoot Owl stuff we call Trying to operate It to a profit and so some hang on as administrator other man won't step in and give that stuff away is my particular hard nut And It’s a chore Elliott" He eyed the younger man a brief Interval and caught his breath quickly “I like the way you looked at Nick No Brandon In court this afternoon young man has looked at him that way That’s why I since I can remember I because liked telephoned Brldger: the way you looked at Brandon and because I'm about worn out trying to crack a bard nut Tbat’a why I’m here “Maybe from what Brldger told me and from what I’ve seen of you you like to take a perhaps might maybe ” crack at this nut After a moment he repeated: The fact Is “You might possibly I’m through Elliott I've given the Job all I had I’m at my wit's end and We’re the estate’s at lta rope's end licked aa we stand now and the truth Is that maybe possibly I perhaps might do a right fair Job of begging you o come and help me!” Elliott did not speak but watched Able as he fumbled In his pocket for a sketch map Able paused for a moment end then continued: Now “Come over by the window here’s the spreading the map on the itlL “Here's the railroad main Hue This la Hoot Owl siding with our mill Twenty men there some living In shanties and the boarding house taking care of the rest It’s a long narrforties ow atrip you see seventy-al- l uncut Four miles of slash to north Our railroad of the mllL goes up We've an so through the chopping of twenty-torod engine t old and freight cars all more or less ready Here’s the camp now and for Junk ws're cutting on the second forty north hands there that pass for dot men “Harrington was handling It for me Man named Buller’a millwright and fellow named Ruppert'a boss at camp out— and gone— driven Harrington’s we're In the soup 1“ He paused and looked at Elliott the whose keen eyes were studying detail of the map The locomo“It’s a haywire outfit tive broke down yesterday and unless tha boys get her working the mill will Tha mill be out of logs In a week Itself n a grand old ruin but saws It The lumber in the a fashion yards Is mortgaged up to tha last cull piece there! not enough In the bank to meet Interest and and there's no boss on the Job” ' Elliott looked at the old man “You said It was as pretty a place of hardwood aa ever stood outdoors If so why’ it In this Jam?" Able Armitage lifted a band In gesture and whispered sharply one word: “Brandon P Ben put down the map replaced the pipe stem between his teeth and shoved his hands deep Into pockets “Brandon eh?” He nodded “Checks So out on the stories I'd heard Brandon's put you ou the toboggan Why?” because Able shrugged “Probably It's kept Itself out of his bands for so long And besides there are other reasons “Six years ago I was made administrator of this estate and to keep the carrying charges from eating It up I to operate started There wasn’t a chance to sell the stumpage to anybody but Brandon Nobody’ going to put their money Into a There are too many county like this stories going round of what's happened to others who have tried to work alongside Nick We had to cut and mill or ell the stumpage to Brandon at hla own price Maybe If It had been mine I’d have sold but the owner of this timber la an orphan girl and a man doesn't like to quit under those circumstances “But every man I'v pat on to ran the thing has been beaten and I’ve had ome good ones there They can’t get decent crews in the first p’ace Bailer the millwright Thomas the camp cook and a crazy Irishman named Blaine who’s barn boss are the only three men yon can count on Brandon plea the good men who come along and If they don’t work for him he sees to It that his Bull Duval drives 'em out of the country And this matter of labor'll only one Item that be makes hard to supply “Until now be hasn’t been abla to touch me I’ve managed to hold out But he’s watchagainst him politically ing and the probata court la watching and unless I show some progress by the first of the year I’m going to be booted out aa administrator With another administrator In control he’ll buy this timber for a song a girl will be robbed and the shame of this community will be complete I” “And what makes you think” Elliott asked “that I’ve got a chance to put It over when other men have failed?” Able did not hesitate: “Because you have youth and a liknuts!” He did not ing for tough amlle hla eyes snapped and hla voice rose “Son” — putting a hand on hla "I’d take Brldger’a word on men quicker than I’d take the word of any He saya you can do It If man I know you wllL I'm asking you now aa an old man wltlr hla back to the wall will you help me on this?” Ben Elliott did not reply at once He was staring at the floor aa one will when debating with himself and preparing for argument with another He twisted his head gravely and smiled Then be looked Into Abie's face “When do we start?” he asked The Justice swallowed “You ready now? Without knowing any more about It?” “I know enough It's good timber and lfa Brandon who' messing up the detail Let’s go Judge I” It was Just before whistle time next morning at the Hoot Owl mllL “Who’ th young feller with Abie?” the trlmmerman asked the filer “New boss” “Him?” The trlmmerman spat and leaned further forward for a better look at Ben Elliott aa he stood talking to the sawyer In the gloom of early day Ain’t ha the lad that “Say ducked th’ Bull? 'Nd took a poke at Brandon?” "Th same" “Well I’ll ba d — dl Only a kid He may be a good hand on a blrlln log but won't Nick Brandon find him sweet Nick pickin’ I He Ukes ’em young does and ’specially
