BEDTIME STORIES
BY THORNTON
r. BURGESS

those angry bees were all alone in the
Great World.
It was Just as cubby at last pulled
away a big enough piece Of wood to
thrust his paw in and pull out piece
OF the comb dripping with honey that
he heard an angry growl so close to him
that it made the hair on the back OF
his neck stand right UP with fright.
He actually dropped that piece of
honeycomb as he looked down. There,
right under him, almost within reach,
was Buster Bear Cubby forgot the
honey and the bees. What was he to
do? He couldn't 60 down. because
there was Buster Bear between him and
the ground. What should he do?
Wool! Wool" said Buster Bear,
more loudly than before.
The effect was just as II some one
had stuck thorn in the sole Of one Of
BILE a little higher. He looked down.
Buster was almost up to the hollow
part where the honey was. But Cubby
didn't think of honey. He whimpered
and whined and snarled as the bees
stung him, and he slapped at them
angrily But the one thing he was
thinking Of was the fact that Buster
Bear was in the same tree with him and
he couldn't get down.
Buster looked up at CuDDy. drew Ddck
his lips so that he showed all his great
teeth and growled his Understanding
growl-a deep, rumbly- grumbly growl.
Right then and there Cubby Bear be-
gan to climb. He scrambled on up that
tree. He scrambled up and up until
1t wasn't safe for half-grovn Bear to
go any higher. A great many of the
bees went up with him. Some of the
bees, Of course, had discovered a new
danger in Buster Bear and were swarm
Ing around Buster. But others, and q
great many of them, had followed
Cubby. So there he was in the top OF
big, tall tree with bees to fight and
no honey to reward him for the stings
he got, yet unable to get down. Could
young Bear have been in worse
place? Do you wonder that he whim-
pered and whined as he slapped at bees
and rubbed his face against the branches
to try to wipe the bees on?
Il wish I hadn't climbed this old
tree!" whimpered Cubby Bear. II wish
hadn't heard those bees"
OF course. these were very foolish
wishes But one could hardly blame
him when he wished that, as long as he
had found that bee tree, Buster Bear
had not happened along. Cubby wished
that with all his might.

Cubby whimpered and whined and
snarIed and 9rowled? He would hook
his claws into the edge of the little
hole where the bees went In and out
and try to tear out a piece of the wood
He was trying to make that hole big
enough to get at the honey. But he
had to keep stopping to slap at those
bees. He lust had to.
Between the bees and the honey his
attention was wholly occupied. So it
was that he didn't hear the crashing
Of some big person 1urrying through
the Green Forest He neither heard
nor saw big Buster Bear as the latter
arrived under the big tree. He was
too much occupied. He didn't even hear
the warning Wool! Woofl" Of Busters.

Cubby Bear had his hands full. Per-

hadn't supposed there were so many
bees In ali the great world. The worst
Of It was he could only fight them with
one paw, and he couldn't do that and
rip open the tree to get the honey.
And such an angry fumnning as those
bees kept UP. They formed black

each one Of those bees was armed with

 Police said GarOu was known as q member of one of the oldest confi- dcnce game gangs that ride trans atlantic liners preying on tourists.
 The trouble between Garou and Hobart was said by police to have begun in Paris over a s135 debt The quarrel was renewed on the ship and ended in Hobert being struck with chair.

AvIATORS' WIVES

While aviators fly across continents, across
oceans and to the poles their wives wait and watch
Most of them doubtless worry but if so they seldom
say much about it, particularly for publication
Recently the New York World induced few
of them to talk briefly of their lot among them the
wives of Commander Byrd, Clarence Chamberlain
and Roger Williams three flyers who have crossed
the Atlantic in airplanes and performed other prod
igious aerial feats.
Mrs. Byrd whose husband has flown to the
North Pole and expects soon to reach the South
Pole said: "My most awful nightmare is that the
world has suddenly turned starshapped and there are
now five poles" Meaning of course, that If such
thing should happen Commander Byrd would want
to fly to all fve
Mrs. Chamberlain said: Ladies who want
grand passion had better stick to their business

time hardly see Roger at all. The economic con-

everything else"

POOR sPoRTsMANsHIP

It is reported that after this year no more radio
broadcasts of worlds series baseball games will be
permitted through the fear of the magnets that it
might keep few people from attending the games
in person.
Few persons so situated to make it possible
to see worlds series game would stay at home
even for radio report simply to save the price or
admission Yet millions in distant parts of the coun-
try would enjoy the radio broadcasts, which would
create greater desire to actually witness the games
at future time.
AS VIM. c. Grunow, leading radio manufac-
turer recently pointed out '.the stay at homes of
today the first in line at the box-offce tomorrow
And this is as true of boxing and other sporting
events as it is of baseball
The public has been very generous in its support
Of professional sports, and the promoters should
have business judgment enough to see that depriv-
ing the public of these radio reports will cause in
dignaton and resentment which are likely to be re-
fected in the attendance records of the future
The proposed action of the magnets is petty,
narrow-mnded, and evidence of poor sportsman
ship their part It is to be hoped that those who
control the situation may have intelligence enough
to see the point and reverse their decision
