1T was very warm day and Mrs.

children enjoyed dressing up in, and

Set Up a Long, was out in the
shriII Wall. grass near a
hedge. The grass just there was
rather long and Mrs. Brown Beetle
thought it was such an ideal place in
which to entertain Mrs. Black Beetle
Mrs. Black Beetle said it had been
the coolest place she had been in all
day and was most polite about it.
But all the same neither of them
had been able to keep awake and so
they were mapping away, having love-
ly dreams of the marvellous things
their children were going to do when
they became big and grown-up Bee
ties.
''The people who lived in the house
nearby had told the gardener to be
sure to cut all the long grass around
the hedge. They thought it looked SO
untidy. OF course they didn't know
that the Beetles were using that spot
for their parlor-and that at the very
time they were giving those direc-
lions. Mrs. Black Beetle and Mrs.
Brown Beetle were there sound asleep.

were sitting. And he heard them tell
the gardener about the long grass

vban he aasaard what the grown-ups
were talking about, up went mis- ears
and he listened very hard.
"Pretty soon Ramsay saw the gar
dener go out with his lawn-mower. He
started cutting the grass on the lawn
AS he said he would need scythe
for the long grass near the hedge.
Ramsay thought and thought of
what he could do. He knew that Mrs.
Black Beetle was calling on Mrs
Brown Beetle, as he had been taking
a nap near the hedge when Mrs. Black
Beetle arrived. He knew, too, that
they had both gone to sleep, for he
had been running along near the hedge
chasing an old tennis ball he haG
found And he had to jump right
over Mrs. Black Beetle and Mrs
Brown Beetle so as not to awaken
them.
Soon he saw the gardener stop cut

face rather defiant like.

Iy pulled his gun and started to shoot.
But roaring makes the hand un-
steady, and Sam sent his bullets into
the door on either side of us.
We were astonished and taken back,
but only for a second or two. Then
we pulled our gun from the other hind
pocket, and Roaring Sam had roared
for the last time.
When it was over we bitterly regret
ted his demise. We found out that he
had roared around the country for
several years. but he had done no
great harm.
Our action in searching for the hand
