 Having captured him Farmer Browns Boy took him over 10 the little house Of Bonser the Hound put his collar on him and saw 10 it that il fitted tighter than before, and then chained him up. Then Farmer Browns Roy went off 10 tho house. Presently he came hack with a tub. Then he brought pails Of wa ter until that tub was half full Cub by eyed him and eyed the tub sus- ric,ously. What did it mean? He had a feeling that somehow it concerned him. So finally when Tarmor Browns Boy came out armed with a towel. scruhhins brush and wash cloth. Cubhy promptly retired in side his little house. He refused 10 come out. Farmer Browns Boy had 10 drag him out. Once he had him cut. he lifted him and put him in the tub of water. Then things hap rened. II is well for Farmer Browns Boy that he had only 2 tathing suit on. Water flew in every direction as Cubby struggled 10 get out.
 But Farmer Browns Boy held him fast. Such q scrubbnc as Cub by got. He bauled, Yes, he did, ho bavled. You know a little Bear can hawl. But it didn't make any diff ference. Farmer Browns Boy held him fast and used the wash cloth and the scrubhing brush until it was wonder that Cuhhy had any fur left on him. When he went into that tub he looked like apything but little Bear. When last he came out of that tub he didn't look much like his usual self, but he did in some degree anyway. resemble little Bear; you would have known what he was.
 Mother Brown had come out to watch the performance. By the time Farmer Browns Boy had washed all the paste out of Cuhhy's little fur coat that tub of water looked as if it were tub of milk. So when finally Farmer Browns Boy lifted him out. Mother Brown brought the hose. and with this C'uhhy was rinsed off Then Farmer

 much fight left in him. He was
 tired out. Farmer Browns Boy cried him off with one towel and then wrapped him up in another
 one and gently laid him down in the sun.
 Bowser the Hound came over and lay down beside him. BoWsers tail vas humping the ground and there
 vas such a pleased look on Bowser's face. He had found his little chum again. You see. Bowscr hadn't rec ognized him when he was all cover

But now both eyes and nose told him that this was the little Bear who had come i 70 share his house. So Rcwser vagged his tail and thumped the
 ground with it and Cubhy was quite
 satisfied 10 cuddlc down and take q nap and wonder what all had hap pened to him.

 were. The way to find out was 10 go see. So he turned aside and marched straight over 10 the first hive. Farmer Browns Boy didn't
 know it. He had taken it for grant | d that that little Bear was still following at his heels.
 When CUhhy reached that first 1 hive he stood up on his hind legs to examine it. The hive was on 8 | low bench. When he stood up. Cub ! hy's head was only just a little above the entrance 70 the hive.
 Suddenly he felt q sharp pain in his nose He slapped at ii with one paw. There was another sharp pain

 Then he noticed a few queer insects around little hole in that queer , W hite box. They were humming very angri1y and every minute the number of thnm grew. Cubby

 little doorway. At the same instant i those bees. for that is what those ! humming insects were. began stir g. i ing him wherever they could reach 1 him. But that sniff had tickled Cub by's nose with a smell of something he never had tasted. but which

 meant to have it.

 have that honey. no matter what { happened.
 Now I said Farmer Browns Boy
 was just too late. It was true. He
 was just too late 10 prevent Cubby from upsetting that hive. But 1t would have been a whole lot better for Farmer Browns Boy if he had been a whole lot later. AS it was. he managed to get there just as the swarm of bees poured out. These bees were no respecters of persons They were too angry to stop to find out who was at fault and who wasn't. While some of them started in to give Cubhy lesson, a lot of others seemed to blame Farmer Browns Boy for
 what had happened. For a few min-
 utes there was hot time. Farmer Browns Roy took to his heels. He had to. But Cubhy buried his nose in honeycomb and was blissfully unaware that there were any such
 things as stinging bees. He plunged one paw after the other into that broken honeycomb and cranmed it
 into his mouth. His face was smear , cd with honey. It dripred from his paWs. His coat was smeared with
 it. Now and then he struck angrily
 at the bees. but he kept right on
 eating. He was stuffing himself with
 honey.

Whatever MT. George Logan Jackson's" secret belief as to my knowledge of Eleanor Lincoln's ownership of the dog. Fedor, he gave no betrayal of it aside from the uneasy look in his eyes which l had caught.
 ''It is most fortunate thing for me-" he said smoothly. that Fedor has taken so violent a fancy to Miss Lincoln.

 But it was with a tense little pre- monition Of possible dramatic conse- c,uences to our household, that l answered the young mans apology.
 ''I shall be very glad 10 see you at the farmhouse" l told him. In deed, I feel distinctly indebted to Mrs. Townsend for making our bet ter acquaintance possible. But you owe me no apologies. You were not all to blame for Fedor's high spirits. If I accept any apology at all it must be his. and he looks anything but contrite just now"

 Everyone in the room looked at the wolfhound whose head was tilt ed as arrogantly IS that of the beau tiful girl who laid her hand upon his head with an approving tender gesture.
 T cannot imagine Fedor in the role of a pentent," Miss Lincoln said. But isn't 1t marvellous the way he has adopted me? was just tell ing Mrs. Townsend Of my first meet ing with him at the railroad station. It was positively uncanny. the way he greeted me. If I had not known better, I should have thought it was my own dog come back 10 me-
 She looked squarely at me as she epoke, and I saw a distinct Chal- lenge in her great velvety eyes. 1t come to me forcibly that she guessed my belief that the dog was in reality her own, and was bending all her energies to compel my ac- ceptance of her own account of the matter.
 Into my mind flashed ruse to A.. h t1t composure.
 Perhaps your dog was liter brother of this one,' I said care lessly. T believe you said at the station that you once owned a wolf hound named Fedor."
 She started perceptibly and looked at me keenly.
 "Yes," she began, then stopped abruptly as young Mir. Jackson choked apparently at nothing and broke into fit of coughing. When he had recovered his breath Miss Lincoln went composedly on with her sentence.
 "Yes. I had a dog named Fedor," she said, but he was a collie, not Uolfhound. The two breeds have much in common, however,
 My mental thermo mometer went 10 fever heat. He had warned her, there was no doubt about that, and by a most clumsy device, although no doubt the only one he could en- ploy. I was sure that without if. Miss Lincoln would have believed in my faulty memory and have con- tradicted her assertion at the rail- road station that her dog had been a collie.
 I tried to make my face courte- ously acquiescent and credulous, but I saw in young MT. Jackson's eyes the uneasy belief that I had not been deceived by Eleanor Lin coln's ingenious tale.
