make home run in that costume when
the game gets exciting
We were all ready at last and most
eager 10 see the bees, as we could hear
them humming and humming in most
curious way. You know the swarming
hum is absolutely different from their
hum at any other time think It gives
YOU the same thrill that you have when
you hear a wild deer snort or blow
when frightened you remember that
night UP in the Adirondacks when Dad
dy let us 90 out with the guide and we
heard one? ! had that same nice mys-
FERROUS feeling.
Gradually the bees began to cluster
on a little cherry tree in the back OF
the garden. They had taken some time
to decide on the alighting place and
had lowered like "a great dark cloud
of very painful trouble over our
heads. Think Of the thousands OF
stincs in that cloud! Wow! Though
there seemed to be thousands Of bees
in the air while they were buzzing and
bumming about, still we we're not pre-
pared for such huge. black mass as
the made when they had all settled.
Christmas stocking as they hung there
for the fimsy little branch they had
chosen for their new camping site
was bent down with their weight. Lit
tie did we guess how great that weight
was as we looked up at them. II was
Wonderfully interesting to see them
clinging to each other. and Big Indian
told us that there were from 2OOOO 10
10000 bees in the cluster, and that as
they hung there every individual bee
was perfectly able TO free herself from
the rest of the group and fly away
even if she happened to be at the very
centre of that solid mass! Does It
make you feel squirmy to think OF so
many thousands Of little live things
crawling about like that? Well It
shouldn't, for that's the JOY Of bees
they are so clean and so efficient in
everything they do that there is never
anything creepy or unpleasant about
them. OF course. am not referring
to stings yet. Those do hurt, l must
confess.
Do you know why the bees settled
ON that particular branch? III tell
you-the queen stopped there. Il the
queen had been left behind or lost
or anything, they would have all gone
back every one. Isn't that great?
They Just stick to their leader, her

a. all, but just Johnny Sparrow down
there on the green earth. Presently
Mrs. Sparrow fed back with worm,
and there was Johnny fallen out OF
the nest and standing on green earth.
Mrs. Sparrow became very much ex-
cited and began to scream:
Cats! Catsl Catsw at the top Of
her lungs.
Now, Joh1ny's mother had taught
him, as all well-trained sparrows are
taught, to be very much afraid OF
cats. He had seen them from his
nest sinking along on green earth,
and even sometimes climbing trees,
and now here he was on green earth
himself, right where they could
Tounce upon him. You can see how
frightened he felt SO he jumped up
to his tippy-toes, keeling very still,
and all at once he began to hop.
This was another most surprising
thing to happen to him. So he kept
right on hopping till he got back to
the foot Of the tree where his notch
was, and tried TO- climb it. Here he
made another discovery. which was
that little sparrows cannot climb.
And all this time his mother was
screaming:
Cats! Cats! CATS"
What was he to do
Well, he tapped out his wings just
as he had done before, when he was
so scared at being pushed out of the
nest and had fallen safe on the
ground. but nothing happened. So
he tapped them back dejectedly to
his sides and felt himself going up
little way into the air. He was very
much astonished, but his mother
screamed:

And then one day one Of those egg
