able for the fact that an attack of
paralysis, when he was a child, had
slightly distorted his features and de-
prived him OF his powers OF speech. On
this account his father was extraordi-
nary SOLICITORS Of his welfare, and this
anxiety was to certain extent shared
by all those who came In touch with
the Hawkesbury family. There was.
therefore, widespread alarm and anx-
iety at the disappearance of the unfor
tunate youth.
But Kit Cowley UP I'm the belfry was
out of this little world, and though he
knew the dumb young squire well
enough, the incident was not very i'm
portant Ii was of more moment to
him Just them that the ringers would
be In the loft that evening and for an
hour or more the belfry would be a
yeritable pandemonium of clang and
! clatter.
Fortunately for him there was a
means OF mitigating the annoyance to
some extent. The bell chamber was
the uppermost part of the church tower
and was In fact somewhat smaller
story rising from the center OF the
| stouter part OF the tower below. There
was narrow stone platform round
! the outside OF the bell chamber. and
this was protected by rather deep en-
battled parapet. Kit COwley had sew
eral times broken the monotony OF his
.lose confinement by creeping out upon
the platform and scanning the wide
and beautiful prospect of fertile land
scape. while he breathed the cool crisp
air of that lofty eyrie. which reminded
aim of the masthead.
As the shade of evening dmmed the
landscape. Kit slipped through the door
which opened on the parapet and
closed ii carefully behind him. lie crept
OH all tours to an angle of the plat
form and there sat himself down, with
his back against the parapet. When
the ringing commenced he stopped his
ears as well as he could, and tried to
be Indifferent to the din. which seemed
to make the old tower fairly pulsate.
But in spite of all his efforts the noise
wearied him, and when at last II
ceased. the peaceful hush which sue.
ceeded it seemed doubly soothing.
As he rubbed his eyes he thought he
heard some faint unusual sound. He
took little heed OF it at first, for he
thought that he was still half dream
ing. But he heard 1t again, the un.
mistakable sound of some one moving
in the bell chamber. and i'm moment
he was intensely alert. What was 1T
His first thought was that the press
gang had hunted him out. But down

In the Days OF
the Press Gang

In the bell-chamber Of Keldon par
ish church Kit Cowley lay in hiding. A
press gang, under Lieut.. Fairbrother,
had been securing all that part of the
country for nearly a week and the cap
ture of a young fellow like Kit, who
had just returned from his first exper-
lence of the sea. would have improved
the quality of a rather lubberly lot Of
pressed men. But Kit had seen enough
Of the sea. though he Vas a stout
enough fellow in his way At any rate
he had no liking for the press and at
the first rumor of the press gangs ap-
pearance he had sought u hiding place
His aged father was the sexton OF the
church and knew every nook and cram
ny of 1t. There was no better hiding
place, If only Kit could be Struggled
into 1t without the suspicious of few
long-tongued busybodies being reused.
So Kit shouldered his stick and his
bundle, babe an affectionate goodbye
to the old folks and trudged off in the
direction of the nearest seaboard. But
at dead Of night he crept stealthily
back to the old church. clambered in at
little vestry window carelessly I'M
fastened and took up his residence for
a time among tie great bells in that
chamber Of the winds.
He had been there several days and
no one had any suspicion of the fact.
The old folks had little difficulty In
bringing him something to eat and
drink and they told him the news of
the little town and the country side
dull, personal, commonplace gossip

thing of the world. and had run the
gauntlet of storm and sword. The last

MAKE YOUR OWN ICE.
How to DO 1t I'm Your Own Kitchen
Whenever You Want IL.

Whenever You Want IL.
The problem OF producing ice in small
quantities quickly and cheaply has APP
parently been solved by a French in
ventor, who has perfected a machine
which is cheap, simple OF operation,
practically everlasting and thoroughly
practical.
1t may be operated by a belt con-
nected with q steam engine, by a small
electric motor or by hand cranks. The
invention is rotative compression and
automatic machine. regulating itself to
all speeds, whatever may be the tenn
perature OF the condensing water used.
The important feature, says the Tech
meal World, Is a cylinder In which the
chemicals are sealed-the latter not re-
quiring renewal and lasting as long as
the machine itself-and which, revolv-
ing in water, produces tho fee. 1t can
also produce cold air.
The machine has no Joint piece, no
pressure gauge, no suction or regulating
valve. 1t Will work in water reaching
even 113 degrees Fahrenheit and saves
% per cent cooling water and 40 per
cent Of motive power as compared with
any other freezing machine known.
The Germans have also a new freez-
ing device especially adapted to house
hold and field hospital use. 1t is very
simple and could be manufactured for
about 81. 1t consists merely of a dou-
ble-wall tin vessel with a capacity of
five gallons. The hollow space between
the two walls is about an inch across.
By the gradual admission OF carbonic
acid into this hollow space through an
opening at the bottom and from there
to the vessel proper through a cross
arm tube 1t Is claimed that water may
be converted into Ice In the space of
sixty seconds, and that meats. fruits
and beverages may be chilled or frozen
| in few seconds. This reduction of
temperature Is caused by the rapid ex-
pansion of the carbonic acid, which is
admitted from an ordinary carbonIc
acid reservoir.
