Netop, Vol. 7

Excerpt from Netop, Vol. 7: November 1926

Jackie was the fourteen-year-old son of Jack Dugan, Sr., the owner of a lumber camp. Jackie's chief source of amusement was reading blood-curdling tales of thugs.

One day in the woods, high up in a pine tree, Jackie had just finished a story in which the desperate vil lain blows up the hero's house with soup or dynamite, when he over heard two ragged-looking men talk ing together. One said upon part ing, All right, Steve, I think it'll be safe enough to-night to bring the soup to the cabin in the ravine.

Jackie's eyes grew large with hor ror and he put on his thinking cap I'll bring the soup to the cabin in the ravine to-night. What did the man mean? Soup? Soup? Soup dynamite! What did they intend to blow up? The logs? These logs had been penned up to await a suit able time to float them down the river, and rival camps were trying to clear the stream. So they in tend to blow up the logs, do they?
