Then Farmer Browns bov left the
little box where it was and walked in
the direction Of this new line. Every
few steps he would look up to try to
catch glimpse of the flying bees,
FINALLY he reached a point where by
looking back in the direction of the
first line of Bees he could see the old
log on which he had had the little box
before moving it the last time. He
had reached a point where the two
lines crossed.
"sThat tree is right here somewhere"
said he. Bees always fly in a straight
line. Every time one left my little box
with load of honey she Aew straight
to her home. Therefore, that home
must be right near here"
Then Farmer Browns boy began
looking in the trees for signs of hol-
low which the Bees would be likely to
use for a home. With his head tipped
back he studied each tree in turn. At
last grin ran all the freckles on his
face into one big freckle Way up in
the trunk of a tall tree was a bare
place where the bark had been stripped

with tiny moving specks going to and
coming from it. Farmer Browns boy
knew that right there that tree was
hollow. and that there must be hole
by which the Bees went in and out. for
he knew that those moving specks were
Bees.

to Low Brothers to be disposed of. The
proceeds were to be divided between
Roumagnac and Low.
Campbell and McCaffrey, according
to the indictment, were to get some of
the increased stock to sell and Rou-
magnac was to receive part of the pro-
ceeds. 1t is also said that O'Brien.
smith Breen entered into a contract
