Something else! Some bees had left a lot of wild honey In a hole, and, rosohing in, Cohhy put a tiny dab of it on to his unse. Then he slid down the tree and scampered back to the pionie se hard as he could tear. He gave Nick all the grapes he had gathered aud then took his place in line with the others.

"That's funny!" commented Bill Blonks, "What's funny?" queried the landlord suspiciously. "Why," replied Bill, "I didn't know that anyone in your family could play one. What will you do with it?"
