hole in the rocks Il few yards IN diam
ter descending perpendicularly down

nothing. II is empty. The neiShbors
saw n stone dropped into it is never
heard of again. These good people,
though, are not given to throwing in
many. even when the protecting par
son is there on his rounds. They grave
lv suspect a too free indulgence might
prove an annoyance TO an irritable
nersonage whom they would rather not
see ON their level in that part Of the
world and whose visits in anger they
would be loath TO receive.
Though this hole is empty, there is
another. somewhat larger, close TO it
which is not empty. This other is full
of water almost up to the brim, and 1t
has upon it n floating island of grass
which shifts from side to side with ev-
cry change of the wind. To find further
examples of the same sort of heritage
it is necessary 10 go GOO miles north
