quito, and, in accordance with the
suggestion, Mr.. Thompson followed
his new-found friends out over the

they buzzed around the room, and Mr..
Thompson pleads guilty to malicious
joy in humming around the heads OF
the young men and annoying them in
every possible way. He says that he
has no idea how long they remained
there, but finally growing tired, they
returned to his room and settled down
on the foot of his bed again to rest.
"Where did you come from?'
queried Mr. Thompson, as he gave
last tlutter to his wings and drew one
long cobwebby leg up under him with
hum of satisfaction.

continued, after a pause:
