UPSET THE QUIET OLD TOWN
Indignant Bees, Loose on Philadelphia
Streets, Made Citizens Forget
Their Dignity.

A winged peril descended on shore
ward bound crowds at the Market
street ferries, Philadelphia, recently,
sending men, women and children
scurrying for safety. Some of them
weren't quick enough, and as a con-
sequence, spent day nursing, on
various parts of the anatomy, stings
of peeved and indignant bees.
1t happened when box containing
a hive of forty thousand bees fell
from an express wagon at the ferry.
The box, which was consigned to a
man in Swedesboro, N. j., broke as it
fell, and the hive rolled out. Peeved
at the indignities heaped upon them,
two thousand of the bees swarmed
out.
The advance guard of the little
army of stingers attacked a street
cleaner. With a howl he dropped his
broom and took refuge in a saloon
About the same time the other bees
got busy. Tba crowds scattered and

down the message:
"Peloton of mounted gendarmes

I repeated, then raised my glasses.
Another message came by flag: "Atten-
ton, La Trappe. Uhlans reported near
the village of Trois-Feuilles; have you
seen them?"
| Prussian Uhlans! Here in the rear
of our entire army! Nonsense! And

I had never known the dread Of

desperately to recover my balance; /

calmly. Draw me toward you; can

"1randy Nanu Looks Shabby.

Queen Anne's statue outside St.
Paul's cathedral. London, is in a pitt
full condition. The scepter is bent out
of shape and the statue was last gilded
so long ago that it is positively shabby.
1t is curious that i'll luck of this kind
has dogged the statue ever since it
was first erected, POI years ago, to
commemorate the completion of the
cathedral. In the eighteenth century
there was a certain tavern upon which
the queens eyes were supposed to
rest, and this inspired the following
couplet:
Brandy Nan, Brandy Nan, you're left
in the 1urch,
Your face to the dramshop, your back
to the church.
The supporting figures represent
Great Britain, Ireland, France and
America.

For a second he looked into the
barrel of my pistol with concentrated
composure, then glanced at the table
drawer which he had jerked open. A
revolver lay shining among the litter
of glass tubes and papers in the
drawer.
The Countess, too, saw the revolver
and turned an astonished face to my
prisoner

Buckhurst quietly of me.
| Il did," said the Countess, her voice
almost breaking.
| Slowly Buckhurst turned his eyes
on the Countess; the faintest glimmer
of white teeth showed for an instant
between the gray lines that were his
lips.

With the table-drawer under one
arm and my pistol-hand swinging,
followed Buckhurst out into the hall.
Under the trees on the lawn, be-

Near him, Tavernier and Bazard

wagon. But there were yet no signs
of the escort of gendarmes which had
been promised me.
AS Buckhurst appeared, walking all
alone ahead of me, DR.. belmont looked
up with a bitter laugh.

about Colonel Johnson, the landlord of
the City hotel in Holton. One of them
is this: A somewhat dudish travelling
man came into the hotel and asked for

drummer wasn't satisfied. Don't you
