Over on the Inko Michigan shoie. along the Kind dune region, tho Iceman Is In disrepute. dis-repute. He did not make tegular dell de-ll voiles and a colony of campers and cottagers near I.tidlnglon who did not put theirs up In the winter were ills-appointed ills-appointed and disgusted. One day one of the colony was digging dig-ging In n big sand dune, looking for Indian relics. He found some Interesting Inter-esting things, Biich as n copper huiehet and tome kitchen utensils, mid kept, on digging until he was fifteen or twenty feet In the sand.

The man had read a story about a glacier thai hod got lost in n cave nnd hud lain there thousands of years, until It wns discovered by some ono, who subsequently became a millionaire, million-aire, so hu continued his Investigations, Investiga-tions, finally, us he expected, unearthing unearth-ing a bed of Ice.
