pfosress Of her pupil, MISS Boyd said:
u can never forget the beautiful change
that came to her countenance when she was

| AT first her thoughts as reflected in her

taught her her first word she began to look
out on the world with an affection, an In

BEES AS DETECTIVES
sBy Their Aid a Farmer Fills Honey
Thieves With Shot. y y

Leechburg bees have gone into the de-
tcctive business. Farmers in the neigh
borhood are sleeping without care
these nights, knowing that II thieves
break in and steal. all they Will have to
do the next morning is put the 5denlzens
Of their apiaries on the trail and follow
leisurely along, serenely confident that
they will recover their lost property and
reveal the identity Of the robbers. u
A few mornings ago Samuel Kllngen-
smith, q farmer near Leechburg, got
up to find his bees in state OF tremen-
dous excitement. He investigated and
found that nearly all the honey ~ his
hives had been stolen. He restored order
as much as he could and got the pees
queted down. fS,
He sat down on the back porch and
tried to figure out who could have done
the stealing. While racking his brains
he discovered that his bees were wing
Ing their way by the dozen toward n
wood some distance away. He wondered
for a moment what was wrong. and de-
cIded to follow them and see.
Klingensmtth followed the trail to the
very heart OF the grove. where he found
the bees angrily buzzing around a big
rock, which showed signs OF having
been recently moved and then rolled
hack to tits original position.
In n IaSn ne EuNQeTStoOu.7 11e 'o'tou
the rock over and laid bare the stolen
honey. The bees almost upset MIN III
their rush to get It, but he covered 1t
IN again and laid a deep. dark plot.
When night fell he shouldered his shot
gun, loaded to the muzzle with bird shot
rock salt, tacks and brads. He hid in the
underbrush near the cnchEan bided his
time. He had not waited long before
he heard a buggy drive up.
It stopped almost within arms reach
of him, and two men began to argue
about who should 60 after the honey.
While they quibbled. Kllngensmith jumped
to his feet, leveled his gun and COM
handed the men to surrender. They
begged to be excused. and whipping up
Their horse. went down the road on the
jump.
Kl!ngensmith' let go both barrels, and
the men promptly collapsed In the bitches
on either side. Klingensmith ran up to
them as fnst as he could but before he
rca ched them one had scrambled to his
feet. picked the other up. and the mad
fight continued.
KIngensmith thereupon gathered up the
honey and carried II back homo, with the
added satisfaction of knowing who the
thieves were,-P!ttsburg Times.
