ready to pay them But two days
passed, and they did not put in an
appearance. Mr. Roden, instead of
being consoled by this development,
merely became more apprehensive.
They're planning something ter
rible!" he moaned. That first visit
was just a warning. I've told Mary
not to go anywhere alone. 1 don't
mind going out of business, but they
mustn't hurt Mary"
Dan didn't answer The whole sit
uation had him puzzled He couldn't
understand why the racketeers hadn't
been back. He couldn't understand
why the other tailors in the neighbor-
hood still reported that they hadn't
been approached by the two men.
He called Mr.. Wheeler and learned
that the district attorneys investi-
gators had still found no other trace
Of tailors' protective racket, and
he couldn't understand that.
He was called to the nearby police
station. and there he repeated the
story of the stencil bombing. But the
police didn't take it very seriously
They considered it a malicious prank
by some one who had a grundge
against Mr.. Roden, perhaps COM
petitor or former employee
Dan wondered if he were doing right
IN concealing from the police the fact
that he had recognized the racketeer.
But he had reported the matter to
Mr.. Wheeler, and the district attorney
had told him to keep it quiet for the
time being.
ON THE fourth day following the
bombing Dan made late trip to

in to take some of the nectar from us.
AS time passed I bscame attached to
these ingenious members of the in
sect family and decided l would like
to know more about them. So during
the next week I visited the neighbor-
hood beekeepers and learned many
things about the fine art of handling
the honeybee.
Il was unable to learn much more
about them until the following spring.
when a friend happened to find a
swarm. proceeded to buy it from
him.
This first swarm was the real b.
ginning of my apiary. BY several other
such purchases I was able to procure
hives and equipment for my bees.
Gradually my apiary has increased
until now have 10 strong hives Of
honey-producing honeybees.
