So the floor was cleared. The door,

wintry weather was forgotten and the

self on u own table-the big one had
been taken out, in pieces-and was
twisting the strings of a violin to tune
Presently his bow cut loose a drone
Of dancing rhythm, and feet began to
tap the plain pine boards of the floor.
"Pardners all Jake commanded.
1t was evident he was to be master
OF ceremonies; he had just taken q
great chew Of tobacco to promote the
flow Of language. The insistent note
Of the violin brought Jack and me,
with Marjorie and Jean, Mr.. and Mrs.
Burke, and Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, to
the center of the room. The dancing
would be of the "square-dance'' va
riety, which was no novelty, to us or
to the Burkes, and which the others
would soon pick up under the guild
ance of Professor Jake.
"Slute yer p%ardner! . Pass
'er by . Balance to the next"
And we were off. Jake and the fid.
dler warmed up with the dancers,
and presently the shanty was rock
ing with the stamp and the swing
Of it. Those were not the days
Of dancing that is little more than
a walk one danced with all his heart
and body, and was not afraid to shake
the floors and ceilings.
The end of the set found US per-
spring and happy.
And so the evening worn on. Ole
and Olga joined the dancers in the
third set, and thereafter never left
the floor; Andy Smith ventured into
Marjorie's arms, and in five minutes

Of his apprenticeship on the Clyde;
Spool danced with Jean as much as
seemed necessary. When Spool was
not m~onopolizing her, Burke or Brown
or Smith was. But at length she
spurned US all in order that she might
win Mr.. Sneezit to the floor. The
Russian hesitated, fearing to appear
foolish, but he would have been more
or less than human if he could have
resisted Jeans ~enticements, and pres
emily she was leading him through the
simple movements of a cotillion.
At length they went. The furries
Of snow had driven by; the moor
poured it's silver radiance on a world
of downy ivory, and the bigger stars
blinked stolidly from a steel-blue
heaven as u guests bundled them
selves into jumpers and sleighs and
took their departure. Their cries Of
good wishes and good luck were
waited back to US above the crunch
ing Of the snow. We watched them
until they faded out of sight in the
white moonlight.
Soon after Jack and Marjorie and
Jean crossed the snow-flled valley to
their overcrowded house, and left me
to one that was overempty. For a
long time I stood looking into the
stove, with lid and litter in my hand,
in the act of putting on more wood.
The glow Of the Goals went gray as l

my life, l measured the depth to

Ancient "Strong Box"
Has Intricate Lock

Heave to, reader, and take a look at
an old sea chest. One that any old-time
pirate in good standing would have
given three yards of his mustache to
possess.
1t rests in the front room of the
home of F. S. Allen of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Allen ldevotes his time to collect
ing antiques and when he saw this old
iron chest ver in Italy he bought it.
It's a battered old box made of iron.
1t was brought up from the bottom of
the Mediterranean sea, where it re-
posed hundreds of years. AS far as
Mr.. Allen ear trace its history, the
chest apparently was on board one OF
the ships that made up q Spanish ar
mazda of sixteen ships that went
down In a storm in the Straits OF
Messina, in 1858. Mr.. Allen discovered
it among a lot Of other curios in the
San Mateo monastery up in the bills
back of Naples.

shut there are a couple Of hasps that
come down on the front side of the
chest, through which a big iron bar is
run and a paddock attached.
You remove the big paddock. undo
the hasps and lift, but your lift doesn't
get you anywhere. The lid won't
come up. If you are clever enough you
discover that one of the rivet heads on
top of the chest moves on a spring.

the key, give her a twist and eleven
bolts are sprung back, releasing the
