Norway laid him on a bunk:as tenderly as though he were -a child and Elsa bent over him. When she straightened she frowned a little. Three of his fingers are broken and his wrist seems to be sprained. ... I'm not quite sure. Tl put his hand in a splint and give him something to deaden the pain. I think we'd better take him down ‘to see Doc Ludlow.” “Ludlow?” Hardin’s thin lips curved in a contemptuous smile and Elsa glanced at him quickly. “I know you don’t like him, Bill, but he’s a good doctor when he’s sober and he usually is this early in’the evening.” Hardin grunted noncommitally and she turned toward Norway. “Where are Ed and Charlie?” “They stayed behind to fix things up, Miss Elsa; they'll valk down.” Doug watched the big Nor- wegian speculatively. He was, as AP Newsteatures talk to you after you’ve eaten.” Norway’s face was expression- less. “You going to vork here?” “Yes. Just got back from the Pacific and this was the first out- fit I heard about.” That was no lie, he figured. “It’s a gude outfit.” Norway’s accent was thick and his eyes troubled. “That's what Ollie was telling me.” y ‘You know Ollie?” Norway disclosed two rows of massive teeth heavily inlaid with gold. “You are friend of Ollie’s, yah?” Pedersen “Yes . . . we worked for the same outfit in Shelton six years ago.” . That was enough recommenda- tion for Norway. His hand, as big as a small ham, descended on| a Doug’s shoulder like a sack of wet sawdust. “Come over to the cook- house,” he invited, “afterwards I talk to you.” (CRSEE pleasure at his friend’s safe return was demonstrated by an unrestrained shout. After clasping the giant around the waist he did a few polka steps with his peg leg thez began heaping a plate with stew and spatzels. His good humor was in- fectious—the other loggers in the = one branch leading down toward the Inlet and the other climbing high into the timber. At last they came to a clearing where the demarkation line betweep logged- off land and second growth pine was sharply defined ie a line of fallen logs. Norway sat down on one and fished for his bipe and tobacco. He thrust out his big ax- blade chin nodding at the calm twilight scene efore them. “Many times I come here to think,” he said. Norway didn’t look like, the thinking type, Doug reflected, but it was growing increasingly ob- vious that he had something on his mind, however prodding would be the wrong tactic with this fellow. “It’s a nice spot,” he greed. “I’m glad to know you, fella,” Norway said slowly, “Now I have someone I can talk to—someone I can trust.” Doug was shaken in spite of himself. “I thought you and Ollie Pedersen were such good friends.” “Ve are, sure. But Ollie worries about me. He has the quick tem- per and he gets excited—I am afraid to tell him some things.
