Whereupon Charlie, who had been preternaturally calm all the afternoon, uttered a shriek of rage, and with a carving-knife chased that man out into the brush. Nor would he be appeased to the point of getting supper until Orde himself had intervened. "Well," said Orde to Newmark later, around the campfire, "how does river-driving strike you?" "It is extremely interesting," replied Newmark.
In this game, you get out logs first, and think about law afterward." "How about legal damages?" insisted Newmark. "Legal damages!" scoffed Orde. "Legal damages! Why, we count legal damages as part of our regular expenses like potatoes. It's lucky it's so," he added. "If anybody paid any attention to legal technicalities, there'd never be a log delivered. A man always has enemies.
The sheriff and North's friend occupied the seat of the buggy, while the other five trudged peaceably alongside. Once again Reed clattered away on his bony steed, but this time ahead of the official party. With a whoop the river crew, now reduced to a scant dozen, rushed down to meet the too deliberate Newmark. "Well?" they demanded, crowding about him.
"There is one thing more." In silence once more they returned to the shadowy low library filled with its evidences of good taste. Newmark threw himself into the armchair. He was quite recovered, once again the imperturbable, coldly calculating, cynical observer. Orde relocked the door, and turned to face him. "You have five days to leave town," he said crisply.

As the three came within earshot Captain Marsh spit forth the stump of cigar he had been chewing. "Gentlemen," said he crisply, "that isn't the question.

He departed for Lansing as soon as the Assembly opened, and almost immediately became lost in one of those fierce struggles of politics not less bitter because concealed. Heinzman was already on the ground. Newmark had the shadow of right on his side, for he applied for the charter on the basis of the river improvements already put in by his firm.
A few days' work with a pile driver would fence the principal shoals from the channel. He stayed over night with his parents, and at once took the train for Monrovia. There he made his way immediately to the little office the new firm had rented. Newmark had just come down. "Hullo, Joe," greeted Orde, his teeth flashing in contrast to the tan of his face.
