Where's Mattawa Tom?" A big sinewy ax-man from the forests of Northern Ontario sprang up beside him, and Thurston said: "I'm going to try to chop through the king log that's keying them. It's rather more than you bargained for, but will you stand by me, Tom?" "Looks mighty like suicide!" was the dry answer. "But if you're ready to chance it, I'm coming right along."
In this very useful but commonplace occupation he had, however, one advantage. He was not only very early in his life a tall, strong country boy, but as he grew up he soon became a tall, strong, sinewy man. He early attained the unusual height of six feet four inches, with arms of proportionate length. This gave him a degree of power and facility as an ax-man which few had or were able to acquire.
Now one of the ladders was down another fell, with horrid tumult a third! An automatic in each hand, Stern scrambled to the glairy summit of the fortification. A mace swung at him. He leaped sidewise, firing as he sprang. With a scream the ax-man doubled up and fell, and vanished in the gloom below the wall.
I won't forget the assistance you rendered me." "That's all right," answered the brawny ax-man, awkwardly. "I get my wages safe and regular, and I've tackled as tough a contract for a worse master before." There was no chance for further speech. Davies, who owned the saw-mill lower down stream, reined in a lathered horse, close by. "Where have all my logs gone to?" he asked.
