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
the prismatic variety Of eolors, picking
out and naming the tints with child
ish glee and with a 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.
Az they turned back toward the house
Bromley remarked that II was strange
they had not been awakened as usual
by the growing Of the cocks. Indeed,
the stiffness Of the hour was remark
able. It 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. 80
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,
PARKWAY 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
80 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
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
II WINS too knowing flock Of birds to
leave the sure hold II 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
a 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
determine; but they could see that oil
the fowls had met with very beauti-
full death, except five or six Of the tough
est old ROSTERS, who had managed to
crack the Icy winding sheet about their
bills. One Of these, who had more life
in him than the others, made dismal
attempt to crow when he caught sight
Of the soldiers coming TO the rescue

day, and arrived at Lahaina in the
remarkable time Of Las; but his
testimony was objected to and

are still at work on the old Lahai-

interrupted in their work by the
Court at the request of the jurors
to stop the noise of hammers,
saws, and chisels, while witnesses
were on the stand. One day this
week, the carpenters raised the
floors to their proper level, and by
doing so the cemented partitions
within the building were shaken.

commence putting in new flooring

shelves and pigeon holes for the
