The little ones screamed again, and
Fairy said: “Don't be silly, Prue, if
you go I’m going with you, of course.
We’ll leave the kiddies here and they
car lock the door. They’ll be perfectly
safe In here’.”
But the children loudly objected to
this. If Prue and Fairy went, they
would go! So down the stairs they
trooped, a timorous trembling crowd.
Prudence went at once to the tele­
phone, and called up the residence of
the Allans, their neighbors across the
street. After a seemingly never-ending
wait, the kind-hearted neighbor left
his bed to answer the insistent tele­
phone. Falteringly Prudence explained
their predicament, and asked him to
come and search the house. He prom­
ised to be there in five minutes, with
his son to help.
“Now,” said Prudence more cheer­
fully, “we’ll just go out to the kitchen
and wait. It’s quiet there, and away
from the rest of the house, and we'll
be perfectly safe.” To the kitchen,
then, they hurried, and found real
comfort in its smallness and secure­
ness. Prudence raked up the dying
embers of the fire, and Fairy drew the
blinds to their lowest limits. The
twins and Connie trailed them fear­
fully at every step.
Every breath of wind against the
windows drew startled cries from the
younger girls, and both Fairy and Pru­
dence were white with anxiety when
they heard the loud voices of the Al­
lans outside the kitchen door. Pru­
dence began crying nervously the mo­
ment the two angels of mercy ap-
peared before her, and Fairy told their
tale of woe.
“Well, there now,” Mr. Allan said
with rotigli sympathy, “you just got
scared, that’s all. Everything’s sus­
picious when folks get scared. I told
my wife the other day I bet you girls
would get a good fright sometime, left
here alone. Come on, Jim, and we'll
go over the house in a jiffy.”
He was standing near the dining-
room door. He lifted his head sud- 1
denly, and seemed to sniff a little.
There was undoubtedly a faiut odor
of tobacco in the house.
"Been any men in here tonight?” he
asked. “Or this afternoon? Think,
now !”
“No one,” answered Prudence. "I
was alone all afternoon, and there has
been no one in this evening.”
He passed slowly through the din­
ing room into the hall, closely followed
by his son and the five girls, already
much reassured. As he passed the
dungeon door he paused for a moment,
listening intently, his head bent.
“Oh, Mr. Allan,” cried Prudence,
“let’s look in the dungeon first. I want
to see if tile money is safe.” Her hand
was already on the lock, but he shoved
her away quickly.
“Is there any way out of that closet |
besides this door?” he asked.
“No.
We cull it the dungeon,”
laughed Prudence, her self-possession
quite recovered. "It is right under
the stairs, and not even a mouse could
gnaw its way out, with this door shut.”
“Who shut the door?” he inquired,
still bolding Prudence's hand from the
lock. Thon, without waiting for an
answer, he went on. "Let's go back in
the other room a minute. Come on, all
of you,” In the living room he hur­
ried to the telephone, and spoke to the
operator in a low voice. “Call the po­
lice headquarters, and have them send
two or three men to the Methodist par­
sonage, right away. We've got a bur­
glar locked in a closet. and they'll have
to get him out. Please hurry."
At this, the girls crowded around
him again in renewed fear.
"Don't be scared," he said calmly,
“we're nil right, lie’s in there safe
enough and can’t get out for a while.
Now, tell me about it. How did you

“So we sneaked out of bed, and
went Into Prudence's room and woke
her and Fairy.” She looked at Connie
and blushed. “Connie was asleep, and
we didn’t waken her because we didn’t
want to frighten her. We woke the
girls—and you tell the rest. Prudence."
“We didn't believe her, of course.
We went back Into their room and
there was no one there. But the rings
were gone. While they were looking
at the dresser, I remembered that 1
forgot to lock the dungeon door, where
we keep the money and the silver­
ware, and I ran downstairs and
slammed the door and locked it, and
went back up. I didn’t hear a sound
downstairs.”
Mr. Allan laughed heartily. “Well,
your burglar was in that closet after
the money, no doubt, and he didn’t
hear you coming, and got locked in.”
In a few minutes they heard foot­
steps around the house and knew the
officers had arrived. Mr. Allan let
GENTLE ITALIAN BEES
Stinging Black and Hybrid Breeds
Have Been Discarded.
Expert of Oklahoma Experiment Sta­
tion Advises Beginners to Get Mod-
erti Fixtures to Keep the
Honey Gatherers In.
(By C. F. SANBORN. Oklahoma Experi­
ment Station.)
A great many people fear the sting
of bees, but It Is Just as the Western
country was years ago, where there
were large herds of cattle. Very little
butter was made because the cows
were so wild and kicked so much that
only one or two per family were
milked. Now, however, with the im­
proved breeds, nearly every farmer
has butter and cream the year round,
and often receives a nice income from
the sale of these products.
The same applies to bees. The sting­
ing black and hybrid bees have given
place to gentle Italians. I often han­
dle my bees throughout a year with­
out being stung.
In the first place, don’t fool with
black bees any more than you would
attempt to milk Texas cows. Get pure
Italians.
In the second place, don’t
monkey with boxes or gums to keep
them In, but get modern fixtures.
Don't try to produce comb honey in
pound boxes. An expert beekeeper Is
required to make It a success any­
where. Don’t imagine that you can
get rich at the business just because
you take off, say, 200 or 300 pounds
of honey some years.
If you can buy from a neighbor more
cheaply than from a dealer, do so ; but
bear in mind that when you sell a
cow, you don’t always sell your best'
one, but more likely one with a pe­
culiarity that you don’t like. Likewise
with bees, for which reason It is often
better to buy from a dealer. He will
be inclined to sell you something good
because he has a reputation to sustain.
The colonies of Italian bees in a com­
plete one-and-one-half-story hive will
