Bees Taken on Trip to Land of Flowert We read the other day of the transporting of 2,000,000,000 bees from southern California to Utah and Idaho, where alfalfa and clover were In blossom. These busy workers, on what was certainly no holiday trip, produced for their owners several tons of honey. The season over at the points to which they were transported, they were carried back to California for the winter, where fruits and flowers were In abundant blossom and where they rewarded their owners by other tons of honey. Besides this there Is the vital work of pollination which these tiny creatures do. This reminds ns of the fact that centuries before Christ, in Egypt, apiarists took their bees In open boats slowly up the Nile so that, as the blossoms came and went along the banks of that ancient river, the little plunderers might rob them of their sweetness.

I heard the two men climbing the bluff long before they should have betrayed themselves. The carelessness, or awkwardness, of their approach told me they were not de bols. This left them colonists from New Orleans, sent In blundering pursuit of me; and I was confident I could soon send them to the right about. Now they were passing through the last fringe of bushes encircling the fire, and the girl suddenly gave a shrill scream. As I gilded forward to close the trap I heard a rough voice yell In English : Blast my eyes If It aint her! Ahoy, lass, wheres your convoy? Here! I spoke up, stepping Into the firelight, my musket across my left arm. The girl was crouching behind a log nnd from her face one would have thought she was facing a panther. Old Six Fingers, more apish than ever, stood leering at her, his yellow snags showing In an ugly grin. On recognizing me he lowered his arm, and with a scowl growled: So Its you, Is It?" "Ho, Monsieur Brampton, we meet again ! loudly greeted Nnrbonne, Behold, lunging clear of a grapevine. I give you the freedom of my river I Mademoiselle, command me. I throw myself at your feet."

To me her feur of Six Fingers was Incomprehensible. He was only a senile old spider of a man, who could do no mischief beyond hurling a knife nnd guzzling brandy. Narbonne surrendered his purpose of seeking Six Fingers and putting him to the sword, nnd said : The old thief goes with ine to the land of Aenanibns, where his pirates soul can revel over hills of gold. He will not discommode mademoiselle. We two will push on ahead. I feared for Six Fingers treacherous old tongue If he fell In with Damoan.
