wonderful bee he really was
Now horse can run fast-but not
so fast as a bee can fly. So, straight
at the hand of the robber--the very
hand that held little Atlas curly head
so roughly against his breast-straight
at the big, thick, dirty hand flew
Bimble-B Bundle. And whew! how he
did sting 1t! Deep, deep down into
the flesh he drove his sharp little
, stinger!
"'Ouch;' cried the robber-only he
said it in words that showed plainly
his mouth needed washing out with
soap and water.
And again, OUGHT! This time Bin
e-Bumble had stung him on the
face!
And again and again and again!
Finally when Bimble- Bundle flew
straight at his big, black, cruel eye
and drove in his sharp stinger, Tren-
chard, with yell of rage and pain,
clapped his hand to his eye. The
Princess fell off to the ground and. as
they found out afterwards, she wasn't
hit hurt for she had fallen on the
thick, soft grass.
But Bimble- Bumb wasn't through
yet by any means
He made one swoop downward to
| assure himself that the Princess Alta
was uninjured and then whisked up
again and landed on the flank Of the
robbers horse.
Then he stung him on the nose
and then on the ear. Now, If there
is anything that will make horse run
away it is for a bee to sting him on
the ear. So, quicker than you can say
jack r obinson, the maddened steed
was plunging and rearing and flying
over the ground-bearing the Robber
Baron farther and farther away from
the Princess at every leap.
And, just as a parting shot, Bimble-
Bumble drove his sharp stinger so
deeply into Trenchard's thick, red
neck that he was almost unable to
draw it out in time to escape the
frantic slap of the robbers big hand!
Then, straight as die, Bimble-
Bundle flew back, past little Alta,
now sitting up on the ground and try
ing her best, between her sobs, to
pull the horrid rag out of her mouth.
Straight around to the front of the
palace flew Bimble Bundle, and
straight up to one of the guardsmen.
He stung him good and hard, too.
And again and still again. Finally the
guardsman became so enraged that he
started out after Bimble- Bundle to
hit him with his broad, felt hat and
kill him.
And always, Bimble- -Bumble kept
just one step in front of him and his
slashing. waving hat. And. you may
be sure, Bimble- Bundle flew around

Presently a black head appeared
over the top of the wall around
the garden. And it was such
dreadful head. too! The hair was
long and thick and black and the eyes
were fierce and cruel and glittering.
Between the clenched teeth was a
long. sharp knife! 1t was Trenchard,
the Robber Baron, and he had come
to carry off the little Princess and
hold her for ransom!
without a word, he leaped over
the wall, grabbed the poor Princess
up in his arms, stuffed dirty rag into
her mouth. to keep her from crying
out for help-and was back again over
the wall before poor Alta really knew
what had happenedl

ihS NcSuy anu members OF
/ Trinity parish have for some
time been looking forward to
the visit of Bishop Biler. of
Sioux Falls. in order that he NAV
personally look over the parish
and arrange for regular services
by a resident rector.
Yesterday had been set for the
date OF the bishops visit but
when it became known that SER

Thursday Bishop Biller came.
accompanied by Rev. w. J.
Wicks. who for several months
past has been holding monthly
services here.
Bishop Biller examined the
pretty little chapel, which now

furnishing. of gothic style. The
altar is donated by Logan Berry,
Esq, and in memoriam of his
diseased wife. The few remain
ing pieces of church furniture,
chairs. cross, plates, etc, have
all been subscribed, and when
the Bishop learned this he pro-
nptft agreed to furnish the san.
ctuary railing of style in keep
ing with the rest of the furni-
ture.
In course of his conference
Bishop Biller stated that he
would see to the building of a
rectory in the nearest future. an
offer which fills the membership
with delight. He also decided

gin ministrations here April lst,
