THE BEE BEGINNER

A few suggestions may be helpful to
the beginner in bee keeping and en-
able him to make his first years work
q marked success.
1. Shade your hives, if possible
with trees carrying heavy foliage.
Swarms should be shaded from nine
a. m. to five p. m. during the hottest
season of the year.
2. Get a super of honey from the
hive wintered over by putting super
containing sections with full sheets OF
foundation or a super containing ex-
tracing frames on the hive as soon
as there is a good working force.
3. When the swarm issues remove
the super from the old and place 1t
upon the new stand. Your new swarm
will not leave their hive and will be
quite likely to continue working in the
super.
4. Arrange a wind-break to prevent
loaded bees from being dashed against
the hive fronts by the prevailing
strong winds.
5. Provide supports for the hives
which will lift them a foot or more
from the ground. Ants and insect
eating animals may give trouble If
the hives are on the ground.
9. Get your extra hives and supers
set up for use several weeks before
any swarms are expected or the honey
flow may be half over before you are
ready to take care Of It.
z. Keep all comb-honey in moth
proof cases and examine frequently.
, s. Set the hive with the front OF
the bottom board a half-inch lower

George Williston, a poor ranchman,
high-minded and cultured, searches for
cattle missing from his ranch-the Lazy

that would have been an island had the
Missouri been at high water, he dis

ties Of kemah county, South Dakota:
Mary, commonly known as "Wlliston's
little girl" Louise Dale, an expert
court stenographer, who had followed
the east to the ''Dakotahs," and who
is living with him at Wind City, is
requested by the county attorney,
Richard Gordon, to come to Kemah and
hearing of Jesse Black. Jim Munson, in
waiting at the train for Louise, looks
at at, herd of cattle being shipped by
longing to his employer of the Three
Bars" ranch. Munson and Louise start
for Kemah. Crowds assemble in Justice
James r. McAllister's court for the
preliminary hearing. Jesse Black springs
the first of many great surprises, waving
examination. Through Jake SanderSon,
member of the outlaw gang, he had
learned that the steer Mag" had been re.
covered and thus saw the uselessness of
fighting against being bound over. County
Attorney Gordon accompanies Louise
Dale on her return to Wind City. While
Williston stands in the light in his door
at night shot is fired at him. The house
Is attacked and a battle ensues between
Williston and his daughter, on one. side,
and the outlaws on the other. The house
is set on fire. AS an outlaw raises his rifle
to shoot Williston a shot from an un-
known source pierces his arms and the
rifle falls to the ground. Aid has come TO
'Williston, but he and his daughter are
captured and borne away by the outlaws.
Jim Munson late at night heard the shots,
discovered the attack on Williston's house,
hurried to the Three Bars ranch and sum
moned Langford and his brave men to the
rescue. 1t was Langford who fired the shot
which saved Williston's life. Langford
rescues Mary from her captor. Langford
takes Mary to the home of Mrs. White.
Her arm has been broken by shot. She
grows delirious and receives medical at

lecture man preached the subject OF
lecturing as follows:

CHAPTER XII.
Waiting.

The man found dead the night the
Lazy was burned out was not east

but half-breeds were many west of the
river, and the places where they laid
their heads at night were as shifting
as the sands of that rapid, ominous,
changing stream of theirs, which ever
cut them off from the world of their
fathers and kept them bound, but rest
less, chatting, in that same land whese
their mothers had stared stolidly at a
strange little boatload tugging up the
river that was the forerunner of the
ultimate destiny of this broad north
west country, but which brought In

forgetfulness, to a once proud, free

At last the authorities found trace
of him far away at Standing Rock,
through the agent there, who knew
him as of an ugly reputation-a dis
sipated, rowing profiigate, who had
long since squandered his government
patrimony. He had been mixed up in
sundry bad affairs In the past, and

er White reckoning to supper. You'll
eat before you go? No, won't take
any supper now, thank you, mother, |
will stay with Mary"
And he did stay with her all through
the long watches of that long night.
He never closed his eyes in sleep.
Sometimes Mary would drop off into
uneasy slumber-always of short du-
ration. When she awakened suddenly
in wide-eyed fright, he soothed her
with all tenderness. Sometimes when
he thought she was sleeping, she
would clutch his arm desperately and
cry out that there was some one be-
hind the big cottonwood. Again it
would be to ask him in a terrified
whisper If he did not hear hoof-beats,
galloping, galloping, galloping, and
begged him to listen. He could al
ways quiet her, and she tried hard to
keep from wandering; but after a
short, broken rest, she would cry out
again in endless repetition of the ter
rors of that awful night.
Mrs. White and several of her small
progeny breathed loudly from an adj
joining room. A lamp burned dimly
on the table. 1t grew late-12 o'clock
and after. At last she rested. She
passed from light, broken slumber to
deep sleep without crying out and
thus awakening herself. Gordon was
tired and sad. Now that the flush of
fever was gone, he saw how white and
miserable she really looked. The cir
cles under her eyes were so dark
they we're like bruises. The mantle
of his misfortune was spreading to
bring others besides himself into its
somber folds.
The men were coming back. But
they were coming quietly, in grim ST.
lence. He dared not awaken Mary
for the news he knew they must carry.
He stepped noiselessly to the door to
warn them to yet greater stiffness
and met Langford on the threshold.
The two surveyed each other grave
ly with clasped hands.
You tell her, Dick. II can't" said
His big shoulders dropped
as under a heavy burden.
Must II" asked Gordon.
"Dick, II can't" said Langford,
brokenly. Don't you see?-if had

a tree is braced by its roots. One
never hesitates to hitch fence to a
tree! even a rather small tree will
hold hard pull, so he cannot well
better that principle Fortunately it
is the easiest one to follow.
First eXcavate for the post at least
46 inches deep, and if the ground is
not firm and sound go deeper. You
need not dig big hole; If it is 12X12
inches it will suffice, only see that it is
of full size all the way down. Next cut

on cold damp days but while they are
working in the field.
10. If bees are found hanging in
chains in super do not smoke them
down, thinking that they are idlers,
for they are probably secreting wax.
