dance. F. E. Bruce, writing in Har-
per's Monthly Of April, 1861, says: ION
the occasion Of our visit, there was
ice in great abundance. at the foot
Of the mountain where the rocks were
removed to the depth Of a couple of
feet" In the old days, however, the
ice was closer to the surface, but
through the years tons upon tons Of
loose rock have so completely covered
the small space where the ice is to be
found that the excavation must be
made the deeper.
Near Ice Mountain are the Hanging
Rocks. where a great tribal battle was
fought, and Caudy's Castle. a mighty
rock, which rises perpendicular 500
feet from the waters edge. This rock
has remarkable natural winding
stairway. The Indians made use Of
this ingenius work OF Nature before
the arrival Of the white men, and a
certain pioneer, James Caudy. gave
his name to it. Once when he was
attacked by the Indians, he seized
his opportunity, and. mounting the
long, winding stairway. hid at the
top. AS the Indians mounted after
him, they were pushed. one by one,
into the cavernous depths below.
Samuel Kercheval, in his history Of
the Valley Of Virginia, often speaks
Of the Cacapon Mountain and valley
and tells Of the privations and hard
ships of the early settlers. especially
the dangers and suffering caused by
the Indians.
The site Of many skirmishes, sin
glet combats, and Indian forays are
yet pointed out in the park and ad-
jacent territory, and Indian arrows,
balls and guns yet mark the localities
Of the little frontier forts, which led
the van of Anglo-Saxon progress.
DURING the early periods Of Amer
lean history this territory, includ-
ing the park lands, was not only
a battlefield where such men as Wash
ington, Morgan and Braddock COM
manded, against the French and In
dams, but a great hunting ground for
the Delaware, the Tuscarora the
Shawnee and other Indian tribes. The
forests abounded in the bison, deer,
bear and other wild life which fur
nished food and clothing for these
hostile tribes, and today, as In the
days of the redmen, at sunset the
deer come down from the uplands In
the park to drink of the refreshing
waters in the springs and runs.
Here, too,, in this wooded retreat
are the native ruffed grouse, quail and
turkey, which are protected in their
natural habitat. To the hiker they
are q continual source of enjoyment
and camera material.
Cacapon Park has IS deer, with q
long, fenced-in range; a turkey shed
where the birds are Matched from wild
turkey eggs and kept in the shed fol
two Or three months. until they are

Beekeepers Of State
 Arrange Public Hunt
First Event of Its Kind in History to Take Place as Part of Revival Program Meeting in Winsted, July

Hartford, June 23. - Bee hunting, almost a lost art in Connecticut, will be revived at the annual summer meeting and picnic of the Connec- ticut Beekeepers' Association on July g at the Winchester Highland Lake Club, Winsted. Hunters from all parts of the state are invited to bring their hunting equipment and compete for the prizes offered.
 The meeting is called for 10:00 a. m. when Claude L. Yates of Hart ford, Master of the Hunt" will give chalk talk explaining the rules of the contest. The hunters will then start on the first public bee hunt contest ever held in this country. Visitors who have gone to other sporting events, from field trials to baseball games, will find a new thrill when the hunter outWits the bees, causing them to lead him to the elusive bee tree where the col ony lives and stores its honey. Honor Andrus
 This years meeting will be an occasion to do special honor to Ed ward s. Andrus of Litchf1eld, who fifty years ago became interested in bee culture through bee hunting. His enthusiasm brought eleven equally interested bee lovers together who organized the Connecticut Beekeepers' Association at the home of Edwin s. Smith of WatertoWn on May 13, 1891. Different objec- tiVeS of bee hunting and bee culture have kept those two groups apart but no, through the action of the association in staging this hunt in honor of it's founder, it is expected that greater cooperation will result with mutual benefits.
 Sherman E. Bunnell of Winsted will act as clerk of the contest and William A. Grover of Bristol, Yer mont, will be judge. While the hunt is in progress Mrs. c. L. Yates, pres ident of the Womens Auxiliary, will preside at a meeting on the cabin porch where Miss Olea Sands, Home Demonstration Agent of the Hart ford County Farm Bureau, will talk on the use of honey as she knew it in the State of Washington. Plans will also be made at this time for the Honey Cookery Contest to be held at Storrs during Farmers Week.
 Luncheon
 At noon there will be ' basket luncheon with coffee furnished by the association. During the after noon. time has been provided for

Begin The Story Here--
CHAPTER l

Joseph Herendeen Sand ham was on top of the world. He sat in a low wicker chair on the afterdeck of his trim white yacht and extended his hand languidly for the aper- tiff that Smithers, his valet and body-servant, was about to give him. Over Smithers' shoulders he could see two stewards laying a gorgeous lunch on a table that stood beneath a dark-green canopy. The central motif of the lunch seemed to be pate de foie gras.
 On the deck near one leg of the luncheon table was magnum of champagne in silver ice-bucket. And degree or so to the sou-sou- west of the ice-bucket reclined three tall streamlined blond in shorts. and coats of suntan.
 Imagine" murmured Joseph Herendeen Sandman, "this happen ing to me-"
 All at once one of the blonds drew back her doubled right fist and socked her nearest neighbor squarely on the button. Joseph roted this gesture and was faintly amused by it. Of course, in the ordinary way, he did not permit roWdyism aboard his yacht. But this was different. This was okie- doke because, Joseph knew, the girls were fighting over which one tf them was to sit at the table and have lunch with him. Where fore the sock was a kind of subtle fiattery. He yawned and stretched out his hand further toward the aperitif that Smithers was holding.
 May the best woman win," he thought he heard himself mutter.
 So far as Joseph could see there was just one thing wrong with the setup. He had slight headache. Nothing much, to be sure Just an annoying little throbbing in back of his temples. He wished it would l go away It seemed to be affecting his eyes. The three beautiful blonds behind the icebucket looked trifie vague and outliny now. Even Smith CTS, standing so close to him. was getting somewhat dim and the aper- tiff he held wobbled in shadoWy fashion just out of reach of JoSeph's clutching fingers.
 For moment he toyed with the idea of sending Smithers below to get him couple of aSpirinS and pinch of soda bicarb. And then, very suddenly, Joseph Herendeen Sandman woke up.
 There wasn't any yacht. There wasn't any Smithers There wasn't any streamiined blonds. There was, however, a shaft of sunlight that hit him directly in the face; feel ing as of the Ford factory working to capacity just in back of his fore head; and red-headed girl With aquamarine eyes.
 The red-headed girl spoke.
 Well, Rip Van Wrinkle" she said, I'm afraid you'll find things bit changed"
 Joseph made nasty survey of his surroundings. In vague way he perceived that he was in bed in large well-furnished room. The red-headed girl sat on the foot of the bed He did not recognize the bed, the room or the girl. Where fore he poised a hackneyed, but

Tt isn't your fault that I'm not. |"


 "It isn't your fault that I'm not"
 Kelly's green-blue eyes clouded Your an ungrateful brute. After all the trouble I went to last night on your behalf"
 You might" said Joe, tell me what you did"
 Well, to begin with, moved you out of the drivers seat and you were heavy as lead. Then I got in and drove that truck thing, with you in 1t, over here"
 What about your own car?"
 She shook her head. Wouldn't start again. Something smashed, I guess"
 MT. Sandman suddenly recalled something about common decency.
 But weren't you hurt at all9" he inquired.
 Kelly looked at him sardonically.
 I've been wondering" she said, when there was going to be a bit of kindly solicitude regarding little me. No, Your Honor, l wasn't hurt. Only scared silly"
 Joe leaned back on his pillow.
 I'm glad" he said.
 Glad I was scared silly?" >
 Don't be stupid. Glad you weren't hurt. My car wasn't entirely sunk then?"
 "No. It got it's face pushed in a little, but it still runs"
 Mention of his car brought an- other fact about himself back to Joe. For two years he had been em- ployed by the long-established and respectable firm of Chandler & Sandman, Chocolates, Caramels, Bonbons and Confections, learning the business from the ground up. At the moment he was serving in the capacity of salesman for the New England territory. Hence the car, Ford built along the general lines of fair sized delivery truck. There was recently upholstered front seat and in the commodiouS dark recess behind lurked quantities of chocolates, caramels, bonbons and confections, all waving under the proud banner of Chandler & Sandman.
 "I don't understand" he said now, why you brought me here? Why didn't you just toss me into hos pital?" Kelly looked at him, speculated for a moment on the fact that he had curly dark hair and eyes a nice shade of gray, then said: Of course, hospitals are sprinkled all over the place, aren't they? Like hot dog stands and filling stations? It was easier to bring you here, that's all. You see, the crack-up happened only couple. Of miles away and I knew Uncle Tyler was in Europe. Besides, I wanted to avoid any-er-publicity."
 That's the old Garbo fight" said Joe. T shun publicity myself. Live quietly and expensively, is my mot to. But where were you going in such a rush?" Kelly sighed. "Questions. Nothing but questions. What is this, the third degree?"
 Well, you're the girl that knews all the answers. And I've been out with the birdies for the Lord knows how long. Come on, lady. Was there fire in Boston?"
 "If you've got to know, I was on my way to Boston, Cambridge. rather"
 "Not 8 rendezvous with some gent from Fair Harvard?"
 She nodded. Sort Of"
 Well" said Kelly, T was on my way to meet Gilbert.
 Gilbert, eh? Who's Gilbert, for Petes sake?"
 "Gilbert Mallow. My fiance. You know, the man I'm going to marry. J (To Be Continued)

DRIVERS TO BE HUMAN
Should Act Behind Wheels As They
Do On Foot

According to the Delaware Safety
Council. the alarming toll of fatal
titles taken by automobile traffic
each year will shrink to compare
lively small proportions If anyone
ever discovers some device which
will make human beings act in their
automobiles Just as they act when
they are walking.
Anyone who doubts that state
ment is invited to consider the
strange change that comes over the
average American as soon as he gets
behind the wheel of his car. On
foot, the American is usually a gen.
ial good-natured more or less leis-
urely sort of chap. He would like to
walk on a sidewalk that isn't crowd
ed. but that isn't always possible
and he makes. the best of It. When
he has to walk through a crowd he
takes his time at II and makes due
allowances for the feelings of
others. Unless he has some special
reason for being in a great hurry,

strain every nerve TO get ahead Of
everybody else.
