Elsa was to be Telra- mund’s wile, hut he wedded Or- trud of Friesland and now claims the deserted duchy of Brabant.

All the noblemen of Brabant refuse to do so and even the King, though struck by Elsa’s Innocent appearance, does not want to op­ pose his valiant and trustworthy warrior.

The sky |n still cloudy but there is a soft glow on the enow that makes the tree« visible for half a mile away. I was out in the timber to­ night, and it seemed as it I had been transferred to the land of the igloo There were snow drifts of every conceivable shape, there were low 'drifts, and drifts high, series of drifts like mountain ranges in miniature; there were fla t drifts, sharp drifts, drifts as smooth and round as our north­ ern brother’s honse. Everyone of them had a reason for being there; the direction of the wind, the lines of the trees, the contour of the hill, the shape and the dis­ tance of the branches from the snow. For a time I could not ac­ count for the deep holes in the snow where it should have been level. I looked up in the trees near the holes and there I saw the reason. Hanging above the snow ten or twelve feet were great branches laden with frozen snow and ice. Their load was so heavy that they hung in a curve, or shell-shape; the wind sweeping up the windward side of the hill would hit these great baffels and be forqed downward with a ro ll­ ing motion. Where it hit the sjiow it would dig a hole some­ thing of the shaperof Its deflector. The storm that ended last night started the 15th, and 90.5 in. of snow has fallen in that time.
