like brown-paper parcel full Of heles,
and big fat one it was.
"There's millions in it" said he, -
we came up; but he didn't mean money.
only hornets.
This pleased Us very much; not that
we were exactly fond of hornets. but Il
made it more exciting. No matter Whist
a boy is doing, he always has to go fora
hornets nest when he sees it; and We
never thought about being warm or
anything else, but Just to send those
hornets flying. We could see . few d
them crawling in and out, and hanging
round their paper house, and we meant
to give them q hint that they'd been
living in that hollow tree about long
enough.
The tree was quite low, and we got
long sticks and went ut them. We had
a lively time of it. The hornets came
swarming out at US like ten thousand
red-hOt locomotives, burning US every
where at once, for they stung us like
fun; and we ran for dear life, and then
came back and hacked away at them,
our faces blazing with heat, and per-
spiration oozing from every pore. We
took off our jackets at the beginning Of
the fray, or there would not have been
much of them left. for the hornets were
as mad as they could be, and so were we.
We kept itup for hours, never thinking
how hot we were, or that it was time to
be hungry, and we got that nest pretty
we'll demolished. When the hornets
were nearly gone, and there wasn't
much of the nest to be seen, three tired
boys limped off rather lamely to Kitty's
cool bower. and throwing themselves
down on the ground, fell fast asleep.
When they awOke, each looked at the
other in great amazement. Hams
upper lip was pulled way out. and one
eve closed; Mow's nose looked like o
large pink potato; while as for me,
the hornets seemed to have attacked
every feature had. The frightening
shadows warned us that it was supper
time, and with puzzled feeling about
our visit at the Davises, we turned our
highly ornamented faces homeward.
"What has happened?' cried grand
ma, as we came within sight of the
family gathered on the porch. DO
look at those boysr'
Of course every one looked at us; and
as soon as they had settled the matter.
they made us look ten times worse than
ever by daubing our faces with mud.
We were rather afraid of punishment,
at least by being sent supperless
to bed; and I think we never loved
grandma so much as when, calling us
into the kitchen, she gave us one Of the
best suppers we ever had in our lives.
All that was ever said to US was said
by grandpa the next morning, with .
comical twist of his eye. "Boys, when
you want another hornets nest, you
needn't 60 quite so far afterit. There's
splendid one over the northeast end Of
the barn."

but strong opposition had stayed the mat-
ter. It now appears that the whole issue
had been negotiated through the Union
Trust Company, of New York, and over
half the money drawn. New York parties
allege that Thos. j. Navin. Mayor OF the
city. negotiated the bonds and drew the
money. Navin denied that the bonds had
been issued, but admitted that he had cor
responded with New York parties and even
ordered the bonds printed. When the facts
came out this afternoon Navin disappeared.
There Is no doubt that the bonds, signed
by him, are held by experienced New York
dealers, who believe them genuine.
