AND HONEY STILL IS THERE
c%alifornian's Attempt to Rob Hive Re-
suited In His Losing Fourteen
Chickens.

Arthur ]. Holmes, a Beresford
(Cal.) farmer, whose establishment Ia
near the summer home of Antoine
Borel, was not cut out for a bee fan
cier. Some time ago while pruning
some trees on his farm, Arthur was
overjoyed to discover a colony OF bees
~ensconced in a hollow limb, busily en-
Gagged in making honey,
Recently he decided that the time
was ripe to sample this unexpected
luxury, so he proceeded to the tree
and began operations by poking In the
hole with a large stick. Then things
happened.
The bees, alarmed and angered at
this treatment, came forth to do bat
tie. and In q trice Arthur was hitting
the high spots for home, followed by
the buzzing swarm. An hour later he
thought it safe to come out again. and
cautiously approached the bee tree,
which was near the chicken pen
Stark and stiff in the Enclosure lay
fourteen newly Matched chickens. The
bees. having lost their human prey,
had wreaked their vengeance upon the
defenseless chicks.

CHAPTER XXI.

The morning after the election, Clio.
ria called for the Banner as soon as
she wakened. The headlines told her
at once that her father had been de.
feated. She searched carefully
through the paper for some reference
to Joe Wright, but no mention vas
made OF him. Naturally enough, the
Banner was not in n jubilant mood.
It predicted dire things in store for
Belmont. but Gloria, remembering
what she had learned at so bitter a
cost, felt that any change must be for
the better.
The girl had now recovered from
tho first severity OF the shock, and was
anxious to know for a certainty what
had become OF Wright. She knew that
he lived and was not seriously injured,
else there would have been some men
ton Of him In the paper. The day pre-
vious she had thought much OF him,
but there had been much else for her
to think Of. Now with n return to
what was to be for her the normal,
she wanted to know how he Jared.

LIQUOR ALWAYS A WoLAToR.

have given reasonably careful
study to the problems of liquor In all
the states for many years, and my OBJ
servation co%nvinces me that the
liquor business always violates the
law that governs II, no matter how
liberal the law may be; and always
goes beyond the limit that the law
permits; and that whenever a strict
err law is passed TO check its crimes
the law does good.
The real philosophy and reason for
the prohibition movement lies In tho
fact that the liquor dealer is nearly
always a law-breaker, his calling the
sure aid always OF public privilege
and wrong, the sure dependence al
ways OF the tyrant, and that II makes
always for anarchy and crime. In all
the records OF history the wine shop
and the tavern have been the rem
devious OF criminals and the recruit
ing ground where tyranny and public
privilege have found the henchmen
they would employ to fasten their
evil power on the masses OF the peo-
pie. or do the criminal and brutal
things that always serve TO repress
the noble aspirations OF the tolling
masses.-Hon. Hooper Alexander OF
Georgia.

Nothing OF a personal nature had
been allowed to help contribute to this
success. No mention had been made
In the News of the assault on Its edi-
tor in Mike Noonan's lodging house,
because TO Wright it had appeared as
a personal matter. The day previous
Gloria had denounced him and cried
aloud for vengeance. He recognized
that had Gloria not been mixed up In
the affair the result might have been
the same. but the personal element
was what made him hold his peace.
The news that the day had been car
ried for good government was only a
temporary intoxicant. There were a
few moments Of eXhilaration when his
real feelings were submerged In the
general rejoicing that David Kerr had
been given a more severe setback
than he had ever before received.
Then came the ebb Of the tide, leay-
ing him on the desolate shore Of dis
h%eartening uncertainty. The past was
a nightmare and the future a blank.
The tumult and the cheers had died

dows on the street and its own private
entrance had been cleared OF tobacco

when It was learned the election had
gone his way was at an end, when
Joe Wright sat himself down alone in
the quiet Of the first hours oil the
morning to take stock OF his future.
Gloria? What of her?
1t was always Gloria, Gloria. Gloria,

the door of his heart.
