ten minutes later. at 1852, and investi-

look at her watch and was told that

A CHARMING PAsTlME.
Bee Hunting Can BE Pursued Wher-
ever Flowers Grow.

ever Flowers Grow.
pail on the vacationist who has not the
true love of the feathered folk, and
new outdoor recreation is wanted. Some
bright young women who spent last
summer in a western Massachusetts
town, tired of hunting birds which
never are still, felt this need and sup
piled it, says the Housekeeper. They
turned bee hunters. Discovering vet
eran bee hunter and overcoming fem
mime distrust of the little insect which
30 sharply resents interference with her
affairs, they were initiated in the art
of lining bees, and thereafter every
tramp afield was with an object in
view.
Bee hunting possesses charm pecul-
iarly it's own, and it can be practiced
wherever flowers grow, even within the
limits of the town. Yet, seemingly,
there are few who know this or are at
all aware of the stores Of sweetness to
be had for the seeking.
The necessary outfit consists of a box
three inches square and as many deep.
This is divided into an upper and lower
story by means of a slide The cover is
fitted with glass window In the
lower compartment is placed a piece of
comb filled with sirup of sugar and
water. The slide is pushed into place
and the nearest posy bed or clover
patch is sought. With the box in one
hand and cover in the other it is an
easy matter to trap a honeybee busy
robbing the flower of its sweets. Watch
ing her through the glass window, the
moment she quiets down the slide is
gently drawn. 1t does not take the bee
long to discover the sirup, and she at
once begins to load up with this treas
ure.
The box is now placed on a post and
a sharp watch maintained. Presently
the bee is sated, and, circling for her
bearings, starts straight for the hive or
tree. When she comes back-for she
will surely return she will bring an
other with her, and in turn this one
will bring a third, and so ON until a
line is established. Then while one or
more fill with the sirup the cover is re-
placed and the box carried forward
along the line Of fight From the
stopping point new line will be start
ed, as before. Thus in time will the
bees be led straight to their home.

and his nose was crimson tipped, like
Burns mountain daisy, but there the
comparison ceased, for it was neither
wee nor modest. Sir Aubrey had made
known the fullness Of his heart,
though he made no mention Of the
emptiness Of his exchequer; but Eliza
beth had deferred her reply until Octo-
Der, when she was to meet Sir Aubrey
at the Ainslees' house party. The other
azure blooded suitor was the Baron
Yon Reisen, who was an Anglo Ger
'man of undoubted possessions. His
castle was in better shape than that
belonging to Sir Aubrey, and the same
might be said of his nose. He was de-
cidedly good looking in heavy blond
fashion.

I'm certain confidential moments
when he had partaken with un-
reserve of the beer that made Mil
waukee famous, Mr.. Hiram
Thorne would admit that he had begun
life with zone darned dime" In other
respects Mr.. Thorne was not an Of
fensively self made man. and you heard
more in sadness than in wrath that he
was a millionaire. He was not such
very multimillionaire, for he had only
a bowling acquaintance with the steel
trust and as vet he had bestowed no
public library upon an innocent COM
munity. The source of his modest mill
lions was cheese-cream cheese-and
his daughter fervently thanked God
that she was not as other Chicago girls
were, who had to look upon breakfast
bacon as the streaky origin of the pa
ternal fortunes. Hiram had shown
himself SO ungrateful as to refuse to
bestow thousands upon the Sanskrit
department of certain university, he
had treated ungenerously requests from
a school of practical science, and the
press of his beloved metropolis had
hinted that he was lacking in public
spirit. Therefore he decided to 60 to
Europe and, as he expressed it in mo-
ment of rare mellowness, "blow it all in
On castle.''
Mrs Thorne had died when the cream
cheese was in its early stages, and the
imillionaire's only child, Elizabeth, was
sthe typical daughter Of the man
who has achieved financial greatness.
She was slender, buoyant, beautiful
and certain clubman declared that
she had the air of having ''fed on the
roses and lain in the lilies of life.''
Through acquaintanceship with Ger
tain American notables and by right
divine of grace and gold Miss Eliz-
.abeth Thorne had attained unto the ex-
perience of London season. Hiram
had been under the horrible impress
sion that America expects every wom-
an to demand duke, and the thought
of confronting large band Of hungry
creditors belonging to a certain grace"
had disturbed his peace. But he was
spared such financial shock, for every
wearer of the magic eight strawberry
leaves was abroad or already provided
with father-in-law, and at the end Of
the season there were but two men,
bers Of the aristocracy who were any
serious annoyance. There was Sir
Aubrey Penrhyn, who was possessed OF
a tumbledown castle In Wales and Of
many ancestors whose deeds had been
ct doubtful sanctity. The castle was
eadly in need Of repairs, and its owner
had an appreciation Of maidens with
golden hair and calm gray eyes. There
fore when his monocied glance rested
upon Elizabeth Thorne he felt that fate
had been more than polite to him. and
he proceeded to compass the fair
American with floral observances. But
he was elderly and impervious to jokes,

most frequently attributed to him.
The Importance of good pitchers to
team managers is apparent, Pitchers
seldom come to big leagues in full
bloom Of ability.
The value of a pitcher is determined
by the following factors a. Control,
~ speed and curves, 90 head work, a.
position fielding, % batting.
When you get man with high
mark in all these particulars you are
getting the wonder of the age. Near
ly all good pitchers have weak points.
If they had not, they would never be
beaten.
Control of the ball is the most impor-
tant manual feature of pitching. With.
out it the most remarkable curves,
shoots and speed are nothing. 81 Sey-
mour had the most remarkable freaks
of almost any pitcher, yet he could not
hold down the berth.
The best practice in control is to
have catcher hold his mitt in different
positions and try to hit it, When a
pitcher with good speed and curves has
found himself and can rely to reason
able extent on his ability to place balls
where the signal calls for them, his at
tention should next be turned to the
work of fielding his position.
Inability to handle bunts or quick
drives through the box lost many 9th
erwise good games for pitchers. The
principal aid in this particular will be
oh 49, 10, sir yhot tl,r hat
is going to do. Ii pitcher is on his
guard for bunt. one down toward first
or third can be handled in most cases.
Frequently bunt comes on a pitcher
just as he has been overbalanced in his
pitching effort Recovery in these cases
is difficult and failures excusable
Another case that is up to the pitcher
is when it is advisable to let hits
through the box pass Frequently
these are so hot as to make the stop
ping of them a matter of considerable
risk to the pitchers hand.
Very few instances of damage have
resulted from this, however, and in gen
eral it is best to go after everything
you have chance to get.
Practice in handling bunts is espe-
cially needful, as if team finds it can
| get away with them it will work the
unfortunate pitcher to the limit. Pitch
ers have been driven out of the game
by continued bunting on the part Of
| the enemy.
Having mastered curves. control and
fielding, the pitcher is ready for trial in
the game. Here, unless he has had ex-
perience with batters in the opposing
club, he is bound to rely upon the
