Van Torp and his man departed, Just
as Potts appeared, accompanied by
very neat-looking English stewardess
in smart white cap. Lady Maud was
unusually silent, but she smiled pleas
antly at what Margaret said, and the
latter made up her mind to drown her
anger against Logotheti, and at the
same time be avenged on him, in an
orgy of luxurious comfort, sea-air, and
sunshine. The capacity of a perfectly

surprised and delighted by the rich
and gay appearance of hers, for it

gold.
ION the writing-table stood a tall,
gilt vase full of immense pink roses,
with stems nearer four feet long than

very much.

roses above all other fiowers?" she
asked. my dear Mr. Van Torp, you

Mr.. Gould, that did not have one per-

the number of times he had crossed
the Atlantic. Now it is thirty-nine

passenger who seems to have devoted
his whole life to making Il record for

Norweqians Are Cautious.

A good story Of motoring in Norway
is going the rounds. In many parts
of this Land Of the Midnight Sun mo-
torcars are unknown and, thanks to
the mountains, are likely to remain so.
In the district in question Il rumor
went forth that car was coming, and
the authorities actually went to the
trouble Of issuing notices, which were
posted about far and wide, warning all
and sundry that such was the case.
Not only were the people cautioned to
give the car a wide berth, but they
were told to remove their animals into
safe quarters.
1t so happened that the car was driv
en- through a desolate land, much to
the amusement or wonder, one fan
cies, of it's owner. All the people were
inside their houses, and all the cattle
had been driven into safe quarters for

In answer to subscriber" in refer

Barton, but If he wishes to enter the
bee industry extensively for the
money in it, then he must take good
bee journals. He Should get some
good standard books also. The gen
tleman should consult beemen near
him and attend bee meetings when he
can.
AS to preventing his bees from
swarming, he may not do this entire
ly, but much may be done to discour-
age the swarming fever. l have a

says he prevents swarming almost en-

them, and place in an cinpjy hive and
close them up nicely, leaving but a
small outlet. These will usually make
themselves queen, it the frames con
tain eggs or uncaprcd brood Care
must be taken not to take an Old
queen away from any hive with the
bees on the frames. Care must also
be taken that this new swarm or col
ony is not robbed by the bees from
otnCr colonies.
The other way to get Il queen is to
put three or four frames in an empty
hive, as before. and take an old queen
from some strong hive on one of the
frames with the worker bees ard
place in this new colony.
Observing the same care as to rob-
bers, etc, as in the other case. The
hive from which the queen is taken
will, at once, construct queen cells.
and rear, perhaps dozen queens, If
they are watched closely to keep the
first one out from killing all the
others.
Now all this pre.suppose a good
deal of knowledge of bees before 1t
can be successfully done.
