@Go right home-rIght home" said she to Amos.
 "Mr. Baynes said that he would take me up with the horses" said Amos.
 "Ye can use shankS' horses-ayes they're good enough for you," Aunt Deel Insisted, and so the boy went away In disgrace.
 "Where are your pennies2" Aunt Deel said to me.
 I felt In my pockets but couldn't find them.
 "Where did ye have 'em lastf" my aunt demanded.
 "On the haymow." 4%iEi5
 "Come an show, me"
 We went to the now and searched for the pennies, but not one of them could we find.
 remembered that when saw them last Amos had them in his hand.
 "Pm awful 'fraid for him-ayes I be! said Aunt Deel. I'm 'fraId Rovin' Kate was right about him ayes!
 "What did she say?" I asked.
 "That he was gOln' to be hung ayes! You can't play with him no more. Boys that take what don't belong to 'em-whlCh I hope he didn't -ayes I hope it awful-are apt to be hung by their necks until they are dead--jest as he was goln' to hang oI Shep-ayes they are"
 Uncle Peabody seemed to feel very bad when he learned how Amos had 1 turned out.
 Don't say a word about it," said he. "Mebbe you lost the pennies. Don't mind 'em."
 Soon after that, one afternon, Aunt Deel came down in the field where We were dragging. While she was talking with Uncle Peabody an Idea occurred to me, and the dog and l ran for the house. There was a pot of honey on the top shelf of the pantry and ever since 1 had seen it put there 1 had cherished secret de- sires.
 ran into the deserted house, and with the aid of a chair climbed to the first shelf and then to the next, and reached into the pan and drew out a comb of honey, and with no delay whatever 1t went to my mouth. 1 Suddenly it seemed to me that had been hit by lightning. It was the sting of a bee. I felt myself gO- ing and made a wild grab and caught the edge of the pan and down we came to the floor-the pan and l. with great crash.
 l discovered that I was in desper. ate pain and trouble and l got to my feet and ran. I didn't know where I was going. It seemed to me that any other place would be better than that. My feet took me toward the barn and I crawled under 1t and hid there. My lip began to feel better, by and by, but big and queer. It stuck out so that I could see 1t. l heard my uncle coming with the 1 horses. I concluded that I would stay where l was, but the dog came and sniffed and parked at the hole through which l had crawled as if saying, Here he isw My position was untenable. I came out. Shep began trying to clean my clothes with his tongue. Uncle Peabody stood 1 near with the horses. He looked at 1 me. He stuck hls finger into the honey on my coat and smelt 1t.
 "Well, by" he stopped and came closer and asked. "What's happenedP Bee stung me-" I answered.
 "Where did ye find so much honey that ye could go swimmin' in it?" he asked.
 I heard the door of the house open suddenly and the voice Of Aunt Deel.
 Peabody; Peabody, come here quick" she called.
 Uncle Peabody ran to the house, but I stayed out with the dog.
 Through the open door heard Aunt Deel saying: q cant stan 1t any longer and I wOn't-not another day ayes, I cant stan 1t. That boy Is a reg'lar pest"
 They came out on the yerRnda. Un. cle Peabody said nothing, but I could see that he couldn't stand 1t either. My brain was working fast. "COme here, sir" Uncle Peabody [ called.
 knew 1t was serious, for hs had never called me "sir" before, went slowly to the steps.
 My Lordm Aunt Deel exclaimed. Look at that lip and the honey all over him-ayesl l tell ye---I can't stan 1t"
 Say, boy, is there anything on this place that ye ain't tipped over?' Uncle | Daohnfy aciya1 Gn ,T ka1a
