her friend. He was Obliged to spend
the morning looking after business

in order to see if Miss Gregory was
well after her trying experience.
Fortune favored his pursuit, for

arriving at Belleview was Katydid, in
an immaculate white pique, accom-
panied by her friend, a dark, rather

presented to her and walked home

From the pollen of the plant the bee
makes what is called "bee bread This
is nothing but pollen chewed up and
rolled into balls. The bee carries this
back to the hive and casts it into one
of the vacant cells, where it is left I'M
til it is needed for food"
How does the bee get honey from
the flowers? why do we never see
any?'
Nature hides the honey in the flow
ers' cells and the bee, knowing just
where to find it, lhrusts its long probos-
els or beak right down into the cell and
then draws the honey into little sack
which grows inside its mouth. when
it returns to the hive, it empties this
honey into one of the cells When the
cell is filled after repeated additions to
its contents, it is sealed up with wax
for use later. One curious and interest
ing fact is that when a bee starts out to
get honey from plants it visits during
each trip to and from the hive only one

same time that he made his Nothing
definite was said about uniting these
careers in the holy bonds of matrimo-

clearer to Howland the distressing fact
that Celia had a strong preference for
a state OF freedom
- She Acknowledged that he had helped
her very much in her work but there
was no longer any such need. She
was, indeed, returning this favor by
advising him. Though vaguely con-
scious that politics was the one subject
of human interest about which she was
constitutionally incapable OF knowing
anything, She could criticise the liter
airy form Of Howland's articles and
show him where in her own opinion he
might have made the facts stand out in
bold relief If any other woman had
tried to tell Howland how to write po-
litical stories. he would have had her
abolished by an act OF the State Legs
lature, many of whose members would
have gone far to oblige him. But he sat
at the feet of Celia with reverent atten-

In a certain New Jersey city of the
second rank there was a very lively and
aggressive newspaper called the Trib-
une. 1t was political power in that
region and had high reputation for
sincerity and accuracy.
1t employed shrewd and active
young man named Walter Rowland as
its chief political newsgatherer and
his work became known even beyond
the limits of his own proper bailiwick.
There was also IN that city rising
young politician named Jack Mortimer
whom fate placed in singular opposi-
ton to Howland He was on the other
side of all questions, both national and
local, and many hard rap did he get
from Rowland in The Tribune.
The Two men hated each other with
deep and fervid intensity, but this SEN
timent was carefully covered with a
thin veneer of polite good fellowship.
They greeted each other when they met
in public with every evidence of good
will which was calculated to deceive
only the most superficial observer.

ward each other, for such situation

influence. There can be no quarrel in
the presence of a lady, and this one
was ever present in the minds of How
land and Mortimer.
Her name was Clara Thayer, and she
was editress, of the woman's page OF
The Tribune She had been in Journal
ism four years-ever since she was 80
and she regarded herself as a veteran.
As to her two suitors, she distinctly
preferred Howland, though she was to-
tally blind to the realities of the af
fair Indeed she was one of the few
persons in the city who did not know
that Howland and Mortimer hated each
other
There had been a time when Morti
mer had somewhat annoyed her with
his attentions and she had been
