705 



moment, while his horns and mighty 

 forehead made kindling Wdod of the 

 hive. He lifted his head with a roar of 

 triumph, the honey streaming down his 

 face and bits of corab dropping from his 

 horns and ears. Nannie was forgotten, 

 and from her hiding-place thankfully 

 saw that in the bees she had found a 

 potent ally. 



To Nannie's eyes, the bull seemed 

 wrapped in a cloud of black gauze, so 

 thickly swarmed the bees about him. 

 Meantime, as the poison of the stings 

 took effect, the bull bounded desperately 

 into the air, unable to endure the ter- 

 rible torment. Then bellowing shrilly 

 with pain and fury, he plunged forward 

 into the raspberry thicket, and dashed 

 through it right up to the garden fence. 

 The branches scraped off many of his 

 assailants, and bewildered his pursuers. 

 When he reached the fence, he wheeled 

 and galloped madly back across the gar- 

 den, passing within a little distance of 

 Nannie's hiding-place. Down went corn 

 and sunflower, hollyhock and larkspur, 

 before that blind charge. A moment 

 later he caught sight of the open gate- 

 way, and rushed through it, carrying 

 away a post as he went, and thundered 

 up the road out of sight and hearing. 



When he was surely gone, Nannie 

 kept cautiously out of the range of the 

 infuriated bees, crouching low among 

 the peas, currant bushes, and raspberry 

 canes, creeping as fast as possible to- 

 ward the house. Last she stole through 

 a high cdvert of artichokes, beyond 

 which the bees were not circling. She 

 ran indoors and upstairs, where her 

 grandmother, awakened from her after- 

 noon sleep by the roaring of the bull, 

 was standing at the window, speechless 

 with wrath at the destruction which had 

 been wrought among the bees and gar- 

 den products, and little did she dream of 

 the peril from which Nannie had just 

 escaped. Only after a wild burst of 

 tears was the poor, frightened girl able 

 to recount the danger that had befallen 

 her, and her fortunate escape by means 

 of the bees. 



Be Sure You're Right, Then Go Ahead.

 Comb honey is not arriving as freely as ex-

 sidering the hoi weather we have had this 

 time of the year. Of extracted honey there is 

 quite a supply on the market; California and 

 Southern with a fair demand. We are quoting 

 comb honey to-day as follows: Fancy. 1-ibs., 

 1.5c.; 2-lbs., 14@15o.; white, 1-lbs., 13@14c,;
