to Mr.. Bowser and he offered to help
me. Two men can carry u beehive
very nice. All you have to do is
to place "A piece of paper over the
hole where they come in and go out.
Then you can carry the hive between
you. Mr.. Bowser told me that he
was not afraid of bees. but he had
always loved them and they seemed
to love him. He was very anxious
to help me, and, of course, l was
willing he should. We had to pass
over some rough ground to reach the
new place and l warned him that we
must go slow and carefully. We had
got half the distance with the hive

down he goes and down goes the hive.

full Of wonder at st. Patrlck's white

st. Patrick told them he was blsh-
op Of God and expounded the prin-
ciples of Christianity. They were de-
lighted with his discourse and became
converted at once. Then they asked
st. Patrick to return to Tara, where
their father was king.
st. Patrick, much surprised to hear
that the two maidens were daughters
Of the king he had just visited, accom-
panied them back to the castle. Here
the king was persuaded by the prin-
cesses to accept the new religion. The
next day $1,000 of the people followed
the example Of their king and prin-
cesses.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The
allies today are 10 miles In the
rear Of the Hindenburg line, be-
tween the Cambria and 81.
Quentin sectors.
Hindenburg is retiring along the
direct road to Maubeuge. the strong
French fortress. near the Belgian
border, which IL the principal supply
center OF the German front in re-
treat.
The town OF lie Cateau is the for.
ward base on which the Germans
are now dependent for the mainte-
nance OF their communications. It
is therefore Marshal Foohs new
objective. lie Cateaus fall will
compel Hindenburg to fall back
with little interruption TO the Bel
gian border.
II is more probable now than
ever. that Hindenburg has been
completed to adapt his strategy to
the abandonment of northern France,
by this winter.
