He was greatly surprised to see the
great swarm fitting about his honey
stock. and for few minutes watched
them come in and go out through .
small hole in the rear window.
When Bouchard endeavored to drive
the bees away they retaliated, and
succeeded not only in driving back the
grocer. but in clearing the customers
out as well. The grocer was obliged
to resort to smoking process to
drive out his unwelcome visitors, and
after they had gone he found that all
but one or two of his boxes Of honey
remained untouched.
The bees had evidently been work

approval at the completion Of the job
when the grocer's attention was at
