l 'troops of yeunx

down from 1?, gen

whisper !ng and
laughing merr i I y.
At length she catnc
uipen it a one

of girls eutnlde.
When the lust of
the glrlH had gene,
and 11 ess te still
steed waiting en
the opposite side of

the rutted space which served for a
read, a wisp of a woman, with hair nnd
(jtbreivs as black ns the trunk of the
tnramen ticc, cume te tha deer and
Mid:
"Come In, my fine young woman.
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

Bessie tried te refuse, but the old
wemau said r
Chut! A cup e' tay. Is nethlnjr and
jere s my tnyput en the warm turf and
the tay at the best, tee."
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

Certainly I Yeu just go up te thp

JVcll, no, net today. I have te go

There's a whisper that Stowell is
te be made Deemster In succession te
his .father. Glorious, Isn't It? Splendid
.chap I Htralght as a die! Bather young,
certainly, but there's net one of the eln
gang fit te held a candle te him. lie's
te go up te Londen tomorrow, se T
want te hoc the last of him. But I'll
be down by the first train after the beat
sails In the, morning, and then we'll go
back te Douglas together."
They had reached the gate of the old
maid's home by this time and Gel! was
looking at his watch.

Wouldn't miss It or worlds. By -by!
Anether one! Oh, but you

itessiG looked after mm ns he hur
ried down the read, swinging his arms
and pitching his shoulders, as he always
did when his heart was glad. Then she
went Indoors, ran upstairs and set her
self te think things out.
She must go b'-fure A1M could get
back. When he arrived tomorrow slie
must be en her nay te her mother's. It
whs earlier than she had Intended, but
there was no help for that new. And
then It would be all rigiit In the end

mother would tnke It and bring it up

things happening in Manx houses,

nnd everything was cohered up. she
would com back, and then " .then
Allck and slit! would be uiarilecl.
In the light of what the witch -doctor
had said It seemed te her te natural.
se simple, se sure. But later in the
evening It tore her heart woefully te l
think of Allck enmlug fiem Douglas en '
the following day and I'm'linc her gene
Se she wrote this note and stele out and
posted It :
"Don't come tomorrow. 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. Te be continued tomorrow

Jnrk and Janet are fiihlntj in thn

them of a bear p ice. He takes them
te a cave where the bear is sleeping.
CHAPTER II
Hew They Awaken the Bear
JACK and Janet gazed in awe at the
icy cave in the' deep glen.
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. Se in the autumn each bear
finds
hlm&elf a snus cave. and Kees com
fertably as'ccp. He 'sneezes until
. prlng, living en his own fat and miss
ing all the chilly storms."
"But that .ley cave doesn't leek
snug," said Janet.
"It wasn't ley when Celd Nese went
te sleep there," chuckled Perky Squir

him. Have you ever ieen men flli an
Ice house with Cfthcy want te keep
until summer?"
Yes. 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. He didn't stir.
"Hey! Hel! Celd Nese. Wake

Jack and Janet dldn!t like .that idea

be like tickling the nose of an angry

"Perhaps we can wake him up with a
stone," said Jack. "He found a pebble
for Janet and I small rock for him

There came a 'startled sniff.
