Mrs. Stone was alone, when at last /

kissed me, she said:

"Ot that I know nothing"
We were a constrained party at
breakfast, but when the meal was over
Jack announced his determination to
search in Uncle Walters room until
the will was found. Very gravely
Willard advised him to let the matter
rest, but was answered by such taunts
as no man could bear patiently.
Have your way" ne said. 1--WE
will all search again."
But after all the search fell upon
J6cz and Mrs. Stone. / would not stir
a finger, ard Willard stood beside me-
while the others turned over every
paper and rummaged every corner.
AS Jack opened a Japan cabinet full of
rare coins and stones, l saw Viii ard

cried: II have found itr'
He opened it hastily. 1t was very
short, and as he read all the blood de

"You-hid-iUl'

"And you would have let it lie

II will destroy it now if you consent.
Let the matter lie between us two"
He glanced nervously at me. But
Jack said:

the paper,

him five dollars, while my inheritance

and thereupon took legal steps to enforce
his claim. The jury evidently did not ap-
prove of the modern installment form of
contract, and thought Mrs. Flick could
not rightfully be charged with stealing a
piano for which she had paid, although
she had defaulted in the payment of the
interest according 10 her contract, and so
they decided that Flick had acted unlaw-
fully when he took out the warrant for
the lady's arrest.
During the hearing of the appeal a
technical objection was made by Colon ell
Treadwell that there was no acknowledge

A SWARM Of BEES
CAPTURES A HOUSE
Thousands of Honey Max

Heart of the City.
The Paps H mestead Is En-
riched by Forty Pounds of
New.Made Honey.
Tn, Voce of the Queen Was Drowned
by the Noise of penters, Hence
the Swarm S titled.

F. Pape OF 2109 Leavenworth street is
now in the bee business against his will,
because swarm OF bees lit in his house
two weeks ago and left him forty pounds
of honey. They seem satisfied and are TN
willing 10 desert their new home.
"They came singing down with such
noise as to scare the chickens" said Mrs.
Pape yesterday, land before 1 knew it
they had settled beneath the window
of one of the upstairs rooms. There was

boarding, and into this the bees crawled
and hummed for hours. First they set
tied on the vines and bushes that over
hang the upper porch, but finally the
Queen must have led the way into the
space between the weatherboarding and
the ceiling, and there every bee settled.
Some of them are away down there yet,
though most of them have been smoked
out and have made their home in hive
which we got for them"
The Pape family wonders where the
bees came from and why thev settled
where they did. Their friend, John Tiede-
man, deals in bees at Webster and Haight
streets. He thinks the Pape swarm is
from his apiary, though he is not sure
enough TO make a claim. and he surren-
ders the visitors to his friends on the
ground that possession is nine points OF
the law"
The Pape residence is an inviting spot
surrounded with luxuriant foliage, a place
that might readily charm the busy bee,
make il pause in midair and take home
stead claim amid the leafy bowers that
give the place a quaint appearance.
1t was probably a less romantic motive,
however, that determined the home of the
particular swarm that is now a part of the
Pape assets. Beemen say that it was prob
ably the sound OF hammer and plane that

They Want No Further Reduction I'm
the Tariff on That Article.
At the request of the glue manufacturers
the Manufacturers and Producers Asso-
citation has sent the following petition 10
each of the California delegation in Con-
gress:
Dear Sir: Having been informed by the
local glue manufacturers that a reduction OF
the tariff on glue is contemplated, and that
such reduction, If effected, would work
serious injury 10 the glue manufacturing in
dustries of California, as they are already
under the present rate OF duty operating on
very narrow margins in competition with
foreign manufactured CLUES, and believing
thHt such a reduction would cause the output
of glue from this state TO be materially reduced
we desire TO call your atte ention the necessity
for action in behalf of retaining the prese nj
tariff on glue, and would urge you TO bring ali
influence possible to bear in order to prevent
such proposed reduction.
We are informed that the facilities of our
glue manufacturing industries are such that
they would fully be able to supply the entire
amount consumed in the United States
Hoping that you may be ole successfully 10
exert your influence in behalf OF these our
California industries, are, yours very
truly, JAMES w. KERR, President

made them pause in their flight. At the
moment they reached the old homestead
a number OF carpenters were making re-
pairs. Their hammering completely
drowned the siren notes of the queen of
the swarm, whereupon every bee settled
in bewilderment, rs is their custom. The
queen doubtless re joined them later and
blazed the way to their new house among
the rafters. Mrs. Pape is proud of the
swarm and has learned to love each busy
bee. Tney stop from their lapors and
crawl over her faGe and hands without
any show of anger. But the paterfamilias
OF the household has already been stung
twice, and he says it would be cheaper to
buy honey than TO swear ali night and
rub soothing balsam over swollen arms
and legs.

The following rates take effect this date
and W i'll remain in force until superseded by
later tariff. Those quoted beyond Stockton
are subject TO changes IL traffic arrangements
with carriers by water from tnat point.
Undoubtedly the Southern Pacific will
at once meet the reduction.
Considerable interest has been aroused
as 10 what the Southern Pacific will do in
regard to its passenger fares from Hanford
since the com pletion to that town of the
Valley road. The latter's tariff to Fresno.
for instance, for distance of thirty miles
is 80 cents. But the Southern Paci6cs
line from Fresno is long. 1t reaches Han
ford by a branch from its main line at
Goshen, so that a passenger from Fresno
to Hanford, or vice versa, has to travel
almost fifty miles.
The long-existing fare for this has been
81 45. but now the rate has been reduced
10 80 cents, so it was announced yester-
day. There are many stations between
Fresno and Hanford and TO several of
them the rate has also been from 90 cents
to near 81 45, put the tariff here is also
necessarily reduced. In other words, the
90-cent rate must apply whore the old rate
was greater. The stations between Fresno
anu Hanford are Malaga, Fowler, Selma,
Kingsburg, Traver, Cross Creek and
Goshen.

Mount ST. Elias. For this he has con-
tracted to pay $1,000.
The suite of five rooms which the Duke

and is situated IN the northeast corner on
the second floor. They are among the
most elegant in the hostelry and were
formerly occupied by General Alger, Pres
ident Harrison, Whitelaw Reid and other
notables.
There has been a steady flow of cards to
the rooms of the Italian nobleman since
his arrival. Letters and dispatches are
pouring i'll on him also. Many flowers
ornament the rooms. Lieutenant Cagni
said yesterday that it was not certain yet
whether the Prince would go to Burlin-
