Mr.. Guy Flemming, civil engineer.
was passing a couple of weeks at the
village of Colville. That meant that
ne was fishing. That didn't mean
that he was catching any fish, be-
cause the month was August, and a
Hsh that will bite in August il Eot
worth the carrying home.
A mile outside the village was the
Prim school for young ladies-Miss
Janet Prim principal. proprietor and
all that
AS the school buildings were sit
uated on the banks of the same river
In which Mr.. Flemming was vainly
fishing for fish, suspicious person
like Miss Prim must see through his
duplictty sooner or later. He was
gradually approaching the school
grounds as he fished, and the day
would come when he would venture
to climb the wall and address one of
the dozen damsels remaining there
through the summer vacation. Miss
Prim did see, and she called up Miss
Fanny Livingston, one of her assist
ants. and solemnly said:
Miss Livingston. there's a man
around. That is, there is a strange
man gradually approaching this place
along the river bank. He has come
a little nearer every day for the past
week"
as the constable to be notified,
ma'am?" was asked.
"Only as a last resort. Under your
care the young ladies are to visit
Maple grove tomorrow. The grove is
on the river. Should that man be
fishing in the vicinity and dare to
approach you and the young ladies

he must be emphatically repulsed-
alphabetically repulsed, Miss Liv.
Sngston. I trust that you understand
me?"
"Yes'm."
The next day Mr.. Flemming went
.shing down the river. He had hith-

nothing whatever of the jaunt to the
grove on the part of the young ladies.

lie had been in the grove for couple
of hours, and he had almost had two
bites on his hook, when the grove
was invaded. He heard song and
laughter, and he soon reasoned out
who his callers were.
It was very proper Of Mr.. Elem
ming to sit there and fish and fish and
not go spying. BY skulking through
the brush hundred feet or so he
could have come upon the happy band
In dell, but he didn't skulk. He sat
there and bobbed his line up and
down and watched the bubbles and
the froth.
More than an hour had gone by
when Mr.. Flemming heard the rum
bic of thunder, and looked up to see
the sky darkening. There was going
to be a thunderstorm. He heard ex-
CARNATIONS and CALCULATIONS from the
young ladies and knew they were pre-
pairing to take shelter in farmhouse
a quarter of a mile away. He didn't
propose to get wet, but lie had noted
a great sycamore tree with a hollow
trunk that would give him shelter.
The voices of a dozen running,
harum-scarum girls had died away
in the distance, and Mr.. Flemming
had laid down his fishpole. when he
was startled by a cry for help. 1t was
near at hand. It was the voice Of a
woman. The fisherman made a rush
of fifty feet to confront young wom-
root as she started to flee with the
others. She was hanging to the limb
of a tree and twisting her foot. but
the heel was damned fast.
It was Miss Livingston. There she
was, held prisoner by her foot, a
soaking old thunderstorm coming
along, and the man she had been
commanded to -emphatically
Notwithstanding before her, and the
only person on earth she could ask
for assistance. If she emphatically

seized the foot and wrenched it clear.
Then the lightning came. and Miss
Livingston screamed.
Then the first big drops Of rain
were heard on the leaves overhead,
and the poor young woman looked at

age individual to undertake extensive
bee keeping without considerable
previous experience on small scale,
since there are SO many minor details
which go to make up success in the
work. These must be thoroughly I'M
derstood before there is any hope for
continued success. It is, therefore,
most desirable to begin on a small
scale, make the bees pay for them
selves and for all additional apparatus,
as we'll as some profit, and gradually
to increase as far as the local condi-
lions or the desires Of the individual

agriculture profitable minor industry
Of the country. From its very nature
it can never become one of the leading
agricultural pursuits. but that there
is abundant opportunity for its growth

honey bee valuable as a producer, but
1t is also one of the most beneficial
Of insects in s-pollinating the flow

Good Scholars From Slums.

From Lippincotts.
In these days there is much activity by
settlement workers and other good per-
sons who are trying to uplift the slums.
ANY one familiar with their work knows
how much their success depends upon
getting parents OF children interested in
their lives The curse of the slums is the
dull rnonotony and everlasting grind to be
found there. The curse or the schoolroom
is its monotony. 1t is no change 10 go
simply from one book to another. The
monotony comes from trying to concen-
trate an unframed mind wholly on aca-
denic subjects. Boys who are said to be
hopelessly dull often turn out not only the
hri0htest business men, but very bright
professional men They simply could not
AT the particular groove which was pro-
vided for them and for all the other chill
dren. Ii IL an impossible task. and the
resiliency of youth alone accounts for the
fact that there are no more failures.
some pedagogists marvel that the chill.
drsn of the slums are often brighter stus
dents than those in the better districts.
that these poor children like their DOCKS
more The reason Is that by comparison
the schoolroom IL entertainment for many
OF the sIum children and the mental ex.
ercises are q relief after the 0ul monots
ony of their homes. Moreover. many chill.
dren are shrewd enough to see that all 10
not right In the home and to realize that
education is the open door to better
things It IL more to them than to the
child of a comfortable home But this
idea Is rudimentary. and seldom lasts be-
yond that critical time In the life or every
child which not only school systems. but
ignore, although 1t is revolutionary
process OF the first magnitude. and in the
life of child is second In importance only
