DRILL HOLES THROUGH ICE
Winter Calls for Tedious and
Constant Labor.

It Is probable that not one person In
/ thousand Knows how the seal Of the
far North gets air when the Arctic
ocean is entirely covered with many
feet Of ice.
The small, spotted seal, which Is
hair seal, and not fur-bearer, Is tho
hardy dweller of the northern waters.
Under his tough, thick skin he has an
inch or more OF blubber. When the
Ice closes up the open water In tho
Arctic, the seal selects spot and be-
gins to drill hole to the surface by
pressing his warm nose against the
Ice. Nobody knows how many hours
1t takes him to accomplish his task.
but he manages 1t; and although he II
obliged to work most OF the time, be-
| cause the surface of the hole is con-
tInually freezing, he keeps 1t open all
winter, and obtains air.
Seals have been known to drill In
this manner through 80 feet of solid
ice. Whether or not they take turns
in the slow drilling Is not positively
known.
1t is at these "seal holes" that the
polar bear seeks food in the winter.
and there the Eskimo waits, spear in
hand, for his weekly supply Of meat.

ham there was a marked constraint
from the first. He was ten gears the
senior of Ina. She was timid In his
presence, awed at times when the rare
intellectually of his mind was dis
played. Ina seemed to regard him as
1.-The smartest man in the world" She
told Mrs. Marshall so cOnfdentially.
When Ina learned that the estate was
loaded down with difficult complication
and debt, she actually wept with graft
tude toward the unselfish man who
was shouldering this new burden.
Every day Grantham felt that this
lovely girl was winning her way closer
and closer to his innermost heart.
Numberless little courtesies, evincing
thoughtfulness and interest, dazzled
him, even thrilled him. He attributed
it all to an undeveloped sense as of a
child to a father or brother. He saw
the danger line, made an iron resolu-
ton and prepared to execute it. From
that time on he spoke less frequently
to Ina. At times he actually avoided
her. Mrs. Marshall was one day deep
ly distressed when Ina rushed into her
room, where she was sewing, and
threw herself on her knees and, bury
ing her face In her lap, burst into a
torrent of tears.
"Why. my darling!' spoke Mrs.
Marshall, deeply distressed. "What is
troubling your poor gentle hearth
