were arranged in satisfactory con.
dition. He gasped and said they
were. The doctor asked him if he
had made his will. He saii that he
had not. but he wanted a lawyer
sent for at once. The doctor asked
him if he fell as though he was pre-
pared to shuttle off. The man said
he had always tried t. lead differ
ent life. and tried to be done by the
same as he would do it himself, but
that ne might have made mistake
some way, and he would like to have
a minister sent for to take an ac-
count of the stock.
Then the doctor brought to the
bedside the hat. opened up the
sweat-leather and showed the diving
man what it was that smelled so,
telling him he was as well as any
man in the city. The man pinched
himself to see if he was alive, and
jumped out of bed and called for his
revolver, and the doctor couldn't t
keep up with him on his way down
town. The last we saw of the odor-
iferous citizen, he was trying to
bribe the bartender to tell him
which one of those pelicans it was
that put that esice OF cheese in his
hat lining.

for your life!"
This was what called Patty out
of dreamland, her fathers voice,
deep and hoarse.
At first she wondered whsre she
was. There was roar like distant
thunder in her ears.
Don't move Patty, dear. Don't
lift your head!" That was her
mother. The words sounded to
Patty great way off. and there
was tremble al them and sob
at the last. What could it means
Patty was frightened, but she was
a brave little girl, aud had always
been taught to- obey. SO she sat
very still, with scarcely the quiyer
of an eyelid, and presently she felt
the big shaker gently lifted from
her head.
Cali right" said her father.
And Patty looked up with little
cry to see her shaker-Aunt Nab
by's shaker, truly, but bigger than
ever with that great cluster of NOV
ing, buzzing bees hanging to it,
disappear within an empty hive.
Then Patty laughed. 'tDid they
light on my head?' she cried, jump
ing up. "What fun"
But her mother took the little
girl in her arms and carried her
into the house, and cried over her.
Mothers are such queer people.
-"That shall be Patty's hive

adding, with a twinkle in his eye,

still. "They shall make me some
honey to pay for that"

OF the late Bishop Ames the fol-

presiding over certain conferences
in the West. o member began q
TRADE against the universities and
education, thanking God that he
had never been corrupted by con-
tact with college. After proceed
ing thus for few minutes, the
Bishop interrupted with the ques-
tion, "Do / understand that the
brother thanks God for his igno-
rance?" ''Well, yes" was tile aa-
swer. "Well, all / have to say" said
the Bishop, in his sweet, musical
tones, 'jall I have to say is that the
brother has a great deal to be
thankful for

At dinner she had q doctor on
either side of her, one of whom re-
marked that they were well served,
since they had q duck between them.
"Yes." she broke in-her wit is Of

PATTY's SWARM.

One day Patty ran into the house
with her yellow hair a-tumble, and
her blue eyes sparkling with excite
ment.
Mother, 0 mother" she cried,
her little brown hands fiuttering
like the wings of bird. "The
bees are swarming."
"Sure?" asked her mother, doubt
fully. For, you see, Patty was the
least bit in the world like boy in
the fable who cried, "Wolf! wolff
when there was no wolf. Not that
she meant to be, but SO many bees
would fly about, making such a
buzzing in the warm sunshine, that
Patty was often quite certain that
they were swarming when they
hadn't any idea of it.
And that is why Patty's mother
asked her, in that doubtful way,
"Sure?"
"Yes'm," said Patty, meekly.
Her mother stepped to the door.
True enough, there was roar like
that of q very small waterfall in the
air, and out over the bee-hives
foated a little black cloud.
81 do believe they are" she said.
"But they're not all out yet, Iguess,
and will not begin to light for some
little time. Run down to Mr.. Jes-
sop's, Patty, and tell your father
no. I'll go, with q smile-remem-
bering that Patty had gone for her
father once before when the bees
were not swarming after all.
MAY I 60 out and watch 'em,
mother?" asked Patty, dancing heel
and toe on the white kitchen floor.
"Yes; put on Aunt Nabby's shaker
and don't go too near"
So Patty got into Aunt Nabby's
big shaker-bonnet, which was so |
much too large that you could not |
see her little round face, unless,
feeling quite sure it was there, you
stopped and peeped in; and the
brown calico cape almost reached |
the hem of her short skirts.
Then Patty went ont into the gar
den and sat down on a box by the
cucumber bed.
She watched the dancing black
swarm until her eyes grew heavy.
The sun shone brightly, the west
wind blew about her warm and
soft and fragrant.
The buzzing of many bees grew
ouder and louder, until it seemed
10 swallow up every other sound.
Then the big shaker began to droop.
