years old. It's trunk was small and
weak in comparison with the top, which
presented rcdundancc and luxuriance
Of growth quite unequal to that Of its

the wind, and sometimes, when there
came a sudden gust, it would bend al
most to the ground. | said to myself

around the young tree. Some darte d

tune excitedly, until at last they came
to the conclusion that the top Of that
tree was just tho place Cor a rendezvous.
A few cautiously settled on tho boughs,
more quickly followed, thicker and
faster until tho whole swarm came with
a rush, as much as to say "got rid Of

bend, slowly at first, but soon, bees aud
