grass was stiffened with tiny shining
overcoat. The stalks on the plantation
stood up like glittering field of pixies.
Despite the difficulty of walking over
the uneven ground and the slippery
rocks, they made their way, not with
out occasional falls, to the western side
of the plateau to observe the effect in
the cove. Philip was in raptures over
tie prismatic variety of colors, picking
out and naming the tints with child
ish glee and with subtle apprecia-
ton of color that far outran the limited
vision of his comrades, and made them
think that Sherman territory had posi-
bly, defrauded the world below of a
frst-rate artist.
AS they turned back toward the house
Bromley remarked that it was strange
they had not been awakened as usual
by the growing of the cocks. Indeed,
the stiffness of the hour was remark
able. 1t was strange that while they
! had lain in their hunks after daybreak
they had not heard the cocks answer
ing one another from one end of the
plateau to the other.
Usually they heard first the clear,
ringing note of some knowing old bird
burst loud and shrill from under the
very window, and then the pert reply
of some upstart youngster who had
not yet learned to manage his crow,
drifting family back from the rocks
to the west; then straightway all the
growers of all ages, and of every condi
ton of shrillness and hoarseness, tried
for five mortal minutes to crow one
another down; and when one weak,
far-away chicken seemed to have had
the last word, another would break
the stiffness, and the strident contest
would begin again.
In leaving the house they had been
so enchanted by the hues Of the ice
storm that they now remembered that
they had not so much as turned their
eyes in the direction of the mill. When
they came upon the brow of the hill
which overlooked the mill-which was
a silver mill now-the limbs of the trees
which stretched along the bank beyond
were crowded with the fowls, at least
400 of them, sitting still on their
pcrches,, Philip, who fell down in his
eagerness" and rolled over on. the ice,
remarked as he got upon his feet that
it was too knowing flock of birds to
leave the sure hold it had on the
limbs to come down on to the slippery
ground.
As the soldiers came nearer, however,
they noticed that their fowls in the
sunlight were quite the most brilliant
objects they had seen; for their red
combs and parti-colored feathers made
rich showing through transparent
coating of ice which enveloped them
like shells and held them fast to the
limbs where they sat. Whether they
had been frozen stiff, or smothered by
the icy envelope, they were unable to
5etermine; but they could see that all
the fowls had met with very beauti'
full death, except five or six of the tough
est old roosters, who had managed to
crack the icy winding sheet about theil
bills. One of these, who had more life
in him than the others, made dis'aa
attempt to crow when he caught sight
of the soldiers coming to the rescue

One That Amy Boy OF Ordinary lnteIl1-
gence Can Make.
How many boys are there who have
shoe blacking boxes of their own in
which to keep brushes and backing?
Perhaps there are not many who
have, but here is box that every boy
can own, because he can make it him
self with hammer, saw and plane, and
some wood that can be purchased from
a carpenter at small cost.
Obtain four pieces of pine, two inches
square and fifteen inches long, for the
legs; and four pieces, each sixteen
inches long, five inches wide, and seven
cighths of an inch thick, to form the
sides of the box. Screw these fiat pieces
together firmly to form square, and
then screw on the bottom pieces OF
tongued and grooved boards.
When this is done, fasten the legs in
position with long, stout screws driven
down through the bottom of the box
and into the tops of them, and brace
them with eight iron shelf brackets
screwed firmly, as shown in the draw
ing, with one side against the legs ant
the other against the bottom of tn,
box.
These will strengthen the legs ant
prevent the box from rocking, and al
they are of the ordinary cast iron stylt
they can be purchased at hardware
store for few cents each.
With a thin piece of board, make {
partition inside the box to hold tn,
brushes, and on top of it at one sid
fasten a square piece of board on which
"a box of blacking can rest.
