He said he hated teachers, too,
And hated school books through

And wished the text books he

And that is why, 'twixt me and

When Youth and Health will sure

FLORENZIO AND THE BEE

zio was called to his aunt's room. go
and gather enough honey for this days
supper she ordered. Yesterday you
brought in only enough for Adalina and
Edwardo. Today you must fetch enough
for the entire household barring the serv-
ants. of course - -.
But, aunt. got so badly stung yester-
day that my arms and hands are swol-
len and sore. Just look at my hands.
And the orphan boy held up for his
aunt's inspection a swollen and sore hand
the result of his gathering honey from
rebellious bees on the previous day.
"Well, you must learn how to gather
honey without fighting with the BEES de-
clared the 'unsympathetic aunt. There
are people who can gather honey without
the least trouble to either themselves or
the bees. Go you and fetch in a full
earthen jar of honey; and be quick about
it. too"
Florenzio, sore and suffering in arms
and hands. and heavy of heart, went off
toward the woods. carrying huge earth
en- jar on his shoulder. To fill that large
vessel would mean to work all day among
the bee trees, and to suffer more pain
from contact with the singing bees In
deed, Florenzio feared that to be stung
more while his arms and hands were in
this condition would mean that he would
die Of his hurt. But. after all, death held
no terror for him, for he was truthful
honorable boy. and had no fear for the

to be of help to you. I am fairy in the

seen how you are mistreated in the home
of your kin. They look upon you as a
mere slave, whose business II is to fetch
and carry for them. to wait upon them
hand and foot Now, will you accent me
as your benefactor?'
Florenzio was trembling with excite
ment. A fairy had come to help him!
All. he had heard OF the fairies very
often. but had never dared to h pc that
one would ever take pity on him. poor
orphan. "Oh. yes, good fairy" he cried,
II should be glad il you would do some
thing to make my lot easier. l am so
unhappy; oh. so miserabler'
DO as 1 bid you, my boy" Said the bee.
Lie down and sleep while Ali your jar

Florenzio was very glad Of the oppor-
tunity to sleep. and stretched himself on
the cool ground in the shade of the trees.
Soon he was fast asleep, for the fairy bee
had famed his arms and hands with her
gossamer wings. healing the sore and
feverish parts which had been poisoned
by the bees stings.
After several hours of quiet and restful
sumber. Florenzio was awakened by the
bee. Come. boy. awake. Let's 30 to the
home Of your uncle" said he fairy voice.
Florenzio quickly got to his feet and
saw on the ground beside him the jar full
of clear. beautiful honey: .'Ah. how
quickly you filled the jar" said Floren-

you not stung at all?"
The fairy laughed. Don't you see. boy,

bee? And while in this disguise l can go

hurt me. for they know I am their friend.
The bees are often robbed of their store
of provisions by lazy people. and the fairy
is always the friend Of the oppressed. l
often assist the bees in their battles
against intruding mankind, and some
times their victims-I should say their
enemies-are stung to their death. and 1t
is only what they deserve. for they should
lay up their own store of food and not
rob the industrious bee of his honey. But,

Pretty soon the family of four were
seated about the deal table, their plates

they put the delicate food to their mouths

bees began to sting them viciously With

Florenzio's ear. Let them retire to their

Florenzio had no difficulty in leaving
the hall. for neither his uncle nor aunt
was watching him, they were so intent
on their injuries. Both were suffering
swollen eyes and faces and arms and
hands. Their son and daughter were as
badly stung. The four presented a sorry
sight as they dragged themselves to their
rooms. crying out to their servants to
come and cover them with healing oils
Florenzio followed the big bee all that
day. and when night came he found him
self in a pretty fishing village. where the
good fisher folk welcomed him among
them. And there in that quiet, happy
spot Florenzio remained till he was a
man; then he became one of the greatest
sea captains of his time, sailing into
strange seas and discovering strange
lands. And never did he forget the good
fairy: who, In the disguise Of a bee, led

kindness obliging him to wait upon their
own children from morning till night.
Florenzio's cousins were named Adalina
and Edwardo, and they were as domineer-
ing and unkind as were their parents.
One Of the many duties set for Floren-
zio to perform for his cousins was the
gathering of honey. And as he lived be-
fore the days Of the modern beehive he
was obliged to run the risk of being seri-

'HE manner In which the Sabbath Of today is

stanch old Puritans. For the Puritans lived
strictly up to the fourth commandment and kept
their Sabbath holy. No man, woman child

devoted their time to prayer and worship. Work
was suspended during the twenty-four hours
which comprised Sunday by masters. servants
