We laughed at the story. but got
Dukes point all right.
Nov to business again. Duke re-
sumed. II compared the observation re-
port of those eleven people and also
the answers they turned in. They all
look like worthwhile people. except a
man named Seinburg-he seems too, too
oily. Wen quiz him about the car and
see if he really does understand it.
"Then there's that young man Feni-
more-1'm afraid he's too immature to
be able to get the respect and confidence
of business people. With those two
exceptions they are all fine fellows
especially those two women"
Just then two of Odds older sales
men came in; his two best men, in fact.
Hello, boys. glad you're on time"
Duke greeted them cheerily. Have
you got your parts fully rehearsed?"
Sure, grinned one, mines cinch.
I'll put Jim in a box and nail him
down before I've finished with him."
THE heck you WILL" drawled Jim.
''Beleve me, kid. it'll take really
bright boy to do that to your humble
servant"
Introductions to Doliber and me fol-
lowed, when Duke said:
''Thrse two fellows are going to give
demonstration of selling a car to your
class. Jim is to be the salesman and
his side partner the buyer After the
demonstration your fellows can ask
them all the questions they want. Also.
they can be buyers to either of these
| fellows
That's a bully good idea" Doliber
said
BY this time our eleven folks had
arrived and the work began. The dem
onstration and subsequent questions
helped to tie up all l had said in class
and made clear the way to apply prin-
ciples of salesmanship to selling auto
mobiles.
Duke asked Seinburg to act as sales
man and Fenimore as buyer. Their
weakness showed up quickly, for Feni'
more asked silly questions, while Sein,
burg. in his efforts to ''show off SAID
some smart and tricky things.
Both were released at the end OF the
session.
The tenth session had another de-
cided change in method and our little
force of nine profited much by 1t.

and down gloomy passageways. Near
the entrance, bees were rushing about
in every direction. Busybuzz was rally
ing bees to swarm out with the old
queen, while Honeydew was urging
others to stick to the hive and the new
queen.
The uproar became louder and louder,
and finally the old queens swarm swept
out of the hive like n mountain torrent
breaking a dam. Thousands and thou
sands of bees were in it, and every bee
was buzzing it's loudest. Up into the
air they went, surrounding the old
queen bee who was among the last to
leave the hive.
"Now is our chance" whispered Billy
to Peggy. rushing her into the end Of
the outgoing stream. There were so
many bees and all were so much excited
that it seemed certain no one would
know them.
But sharp eyes were watching the
swirling swarm. Honeydew was at
the entrance and as Peggy swept past
she saw her at once.
There goes Queen Peggy Stop her -

laughed Billy. 'If you hadn't been in

Then Billy told her how he had got

he had searched and searched in vain,
until he had heard Peggy's bee voice
singing the song with which she had
