utterly. II pictures English life OF
the lower middle classes and &C

details as well as the heart-breaking
or commonplace circumstances which
evolve from the lives Of the various
characters. All this might be dull

CRAZY MAN" FOR WHOM RIOT CALL WAS
SOUNDED, PROVES TO BE JUST AN APIARIST

John Storey, chief OF police Of Mill
burn, was called to the telephone
yesterday afternoon, and an excited
man at the other end of the wire
said:
I'm Dudley Onderdont, of Cedar
street. wyoming. There's a crazy
mar in front of my house Send up
a squad of police"
Storey told the man he was anxious
to oblige, but wasn't certain he had
a squad of police handy. He looked
In the drawer of his desk and under
the telephone, and, failing to find a
policeman in either place, he did the
next best thing by summoning
Robert S. Oliver, former chief of
police. now road supervisor for Mill
burn.
Oliver came to the police station in
the automobile from which he super
vises, and he and Storey set out IN It
for Cedar street.
When they arrived at the place On
derdont indicated they saw a man
prancing about the roadway, his head
bound up in mosquito-netting. He
was making queer motions with his
hands. to the delight of a crowd of
boys who were watching his antics
from fence.
Cautiously Storey and Oliver erept
up to the man.
Hey" said the chief, his mind on

Then he began moving his arms up
and down, somewhat after the
fashion of a vaudeville performer
juggling rubber balls, and shower Of
fine sand filled divers and Storey S
eyes.
Hey, cut that out" ordered the
sufferers. DO you want to blind us?'
Il should worry" said the man, his
arms again moving up and down like
piston rods.

said Storey. Forward, men" And
he and oliver pounced down on the
offender.
Then it all came out Onderdont

He didn't think he was a bride.
Neither was he trying to give an
imitation of a sand storm. He was
merely an unfortunate farmer, whose
bees had escaped from the hives. He
was trying to drive them back again
by throwing sand at them. He ad-
mitted his actions were peculiar, but
said any apiarist would say they
were perfectly correct under the cir
cumstances.
Storey and Oliver got into their
automobile and drove away. Speeded
by such admonitions as Put salt on
their tails from the small boys who
surrounded him, the man finally sue
ceeded in driving his bees away.
