There's nothing te be freckened of." It was Nan, the witch-doctor, nnd Bessie followed her Inte the house. The inside was a slngle room with 1 ere at one end and a bed nt the ether. The fleer was of hardened clay tnd the scraas of the' reef were se low ertrhcud that a tall man reuld scurcely tire steed erect under them. Bundles ef herbs hung from nails in the sooty rafters, and when the old weinun closed the deer Bessie saw that the Creshculrn (the cress of mountain ash) was stand la; st the back of It. "I'm in trouble, ma'am." snid Bes sie, who was en the verge of tents, "nd I'm wanting te knew what te de tnd what is te happen te mf." The witch-doctor, whose quick eyes ted taken in the situation at a glun'rc, uld: "Aw yes, begh. trouble enough. But heck that cat off the cheer in the choll chell lsh and sit dewu and make yourself comfortable." Bessie loosened her fur-lined clenk tnd tat in the Jngle, with the lire nt er icet nun a peep or the blue sky coming down en her from the wide chimney. "They wcre telling me a fine young eman was, coining," said the' Witch doctor (hemMntthevlnvi8iblc powers), "and it was wondering and wondering I was would slie have strength te climb the brews. But here you are, mv chrce, and new a cup e' tay will de no harm it ell." Bessie tried te refuse, but the old wemau said r Chut! A cup e' tay.

While Jlcssle hipped at her run the Witch-doctor went en talking, but she took quick glances nt the girl from time te time and bemctlmes asked a ques tion. At length she belted the doerj drew thick blind ever the window, knelt Were the hearth, and called en Bessie te de the same, se that they were kneel In side by side, with no light in the eirkeaed room except the red glow from tha fire, en their faces and the blue Jlteak from the sky behind the smoke Irem the chimney.

I'll be writ ing again in the morning, telling you the reason why." CHAPTER XX Victer Stowell's Vew The old courthouse at Castle Riish'en was full te overflowing. Nearly all the great people of the Island wcre there the Legislative Council, the Kejs, the leaders of the bar, the mere prominent members of the clergy, the long line of Insular officials, with their wives and daughters. A pale shaft of spring sunshine from the lantern light was en the new por trait of the Deemster, which had been hung en the eastern wall and was still covered by a white sheet. The time of waiting for the proceed ings te begin wan passed in a low buzz of conversation, chiefly en one subject. "Is it true that he is te fellow his father?" "Se they say. "Se young and with se many before him I call it shocking." "Se de I, but then he's the son of the old Deemster, and is te marry the daughter of the Governer." At the last moment Stowell and Fenella arrived and were shown into seats reserved for them at the end of the jury box. Then the conversation (among the women at least) took an other turn. "Well, they're a lovely pair I will say that for them." The Governer, accompanied by the Bishop nnd the Attorney General, stepped en te the crimson -covered dais, und the proceedings commenced. The Governer s own spcecn was a short one. They had gathered te de honor te the memory of one of the most honored of their countrymen. The mem ory of its great men was, a nation's greatest Inheritance. If that was true of the larger communities it was no less true of the little realm of Man. "Hence the Island," said the Governer, "Is doing a service te Itself in betting up in this courthouse, the scene of hU principal activities, the memorial te its great Deemster which I have new the honor te unveil." When the Governer pulled n cord and the white sheet fell from the face of the picture there was a gasp of astonishment. The impression of reality wan startling. The Deemster had been painted in wig and gown nnd as if sitting en the bench in that very courthouse. The powerful yet melancholy eyes, the drawn yet firm set mouth, the suggestion of suffering jet strength it was just as he had been been there last, summing up after the trial of the woman wue bad Killed her husband. As seen as the spectators, who had risen, had resumed their teats the Governer called en the Attorney General. The old mnn was deeply moved. The Deemster had been his eldest nnd dear cbt friend. It was difficult for him te remember a. time when they had net been friends and Impossible te recall an hour In which their friendship had been darkened by te much as a cloud. If it was troe that the memory of Its great men was a nation's greatest Inhcritage, the island had a great heritage In the memory of Deemster Stowell. lie had horn great as a lawyer, great as a judge, great as a gentleman, us a friend as n lever, ns a husband and twith a glance In (he direction of the jury bex1) as 11 father also. "I pray und belleve," said the at torney, "that this memorial te our great Deemster may be a stimulus and an inspiration te all our young men whatsoever, particularly te such as are we; mmwwi ?.?rjppj w.p . & . fcs t. . c -.- .) Xr Hay Came has Inherited many of his splendid tal ents, and may jet be called, "please Ged, te fill his place and fellow in bis footsteps." t When, the old man sat down there was general applause, a little damped, perhaps, by the last of his references, and then followed the event of the dftcrnoen. By the blind Instinct that animates a crowd, all eyes turned In the direc tion of Victer Stowell. He sat by Fcnclla's side, breathing audibly, with head down and hands clasped tightly about one of his knees. There was a pause and then a low stamping of feet, and Fcnclla whis pered : "They want you te speak, dear." But Stowell did net scein te hear, and at length the Governer called en him by name. When he arose he looked pale and much elder nnd bore a resemblance te the p'tut-e of his father en the op posite wall, which few had observed be fore.

Inside en the ice, se Perky Squirrel sqid,, was a sleeping bear a bear whose name was new Celd Nese. "Hew did the bear get in that-cave?" whispered Jack; "He went in there last fall for his winter's nap," chuckled Perky Squirrel. Bears don't like cold weather or b'.lz- zardH.

Jack and Janet both had seen men nil an Ice house. The men had cut the Ice from the lake and put It Inte, a thick-walled house, packing It with sawdust. There the heat ceuldn t get in and the cold couldn't get out, se tne Ice didn't melt. . "This cave was nice and dry when Celd Nese made bis bed there," giggled Perky Squirrel. "But In the winter when the creek was covered with Ice there came, a thaw. ,The rushing waters carried the ice Inte the cave and piled It beneath the shelf fhere the bear was asleep. Around the Ice the current packed leaven and dirt. A frttttc fol lowed and then another thaw. The sec end thaw carried mere Ice Inte the cove. And se did a third thaw, and a fourth, until that cave was packed as solidly as an Ice house. The ice keeps the air se cool Celd Nese doesn't knew summer Is here." "Dcsn't be get hungry?" asked Jack. "Te be sure he does," giggled Perky Squirrel, "lie has used up all the extra fat he ha'd when he went Inte the cave. He is new as thin an the tall of a rat. Every once In a while his stomach tells him te wake up. But when he yawns and opens bis eyes he finds the air chilly and the cave filed with ice. He thinks It Is still January and gees right back te sleep. My, but he will be mad when he finds he has been tricked and it is June." "Supposing he doesn't wake up," said Janet soberly. "Supposing he starves te death waiting for summer." "Ek! I hadn't thought of that," barked Perky Squirrel, quitting bis laughing. "We will have te wake htm up!"' With that Perkv Squirrel began a loud chattering. "Ek! Ek! Wake up, Celd Nese ! Wake up ! Summer Is here I" But no answer came from the cave. Celd Nese was like a boy sneezing en a Saturday morning.
