Is transacted with swift dispatch and

They leased an estate at the wood, !"

called Wood Place, and from this place
they took their surname, Attic Wode

Atwood. and 1t is not until the time Of
the immigration Of the family to this

was going to roll down from the top
OF the mountain and smash everything
IN Its path. including the tree in
which they had stored TOO pounds Of
honey. In what way they got the tip

bees had It Is they moved to another

harm on which the bee trees are, re-
turned from Montclair loaded down
with presents he bought after he had
sold the 700 pounds of honey for fancy
prices. Incidentally. when in Mont
clair, he felt so rich as a result OF the
bee tip and the boulder, he went to
the Central hotel and had full course
dinner.
The bees occupied the hollow tree
ten years. Van Wrinkle never dis
turbed them, because he knew the
only way to get the honey was to cut
The tree down. He was averse to do
ing that. So the insects worked away
until the tree literally was saturated
With honey. Two weeks ago he no

force bees to go out in December.
On Sunday night the Van Wrinkles
were aroused by a terrible crashing
on the mountain side. Van Wrinkle
got out of bed and went to investigate.
BY that time the noise had ceased and
he could not discover the cause. In
the morning. however, he saw the big |
