GLAD'S ROY.
The heroines of fiction are generally
found in romantics places. Why not?
It is pleasant to contemplate enohant-
ing environments, and to the creative
imagination a matte with ivy -crowned
turrets, set in a lovely land cape, costs
no mere than. a dug -out on a barren
moor. Still, it is better at times to copy
than to create; and the hercines of real
• tife do often spring up in the odd nooks
and corners of the earth. Such was the
fact in the case of Glaclie Roy, a lovely
woman, without spot or blemish, unless
it may be set down against her that she
was strong-minded. SO13143 of her neigh-
bors hinted this because she qould not
give much time to the ou tiVition of
their acquaintance, and because she had
taken up the oddest of callings, and had
supported herself and her gentle mother
handsomely thereby from the age of six-
teen, she being now about ,wenty-one.
To get a peep at the particular odd
nook when Gladis Roy's first days were
passed, we must go beak some years to
a little flag station in a pine wood clear-
ing on Long Island. This c taxing, up-
on one side of the railroad, was but a
few acres in extent, and Waft bordered
by a, dense growth of slender pines. On
the opposite aide of the road, extending
north, was a barren stretch of dwarfed
os.ks, with blueberry and other bushes.
There were no residences in .3ight of the
nondescript home of Gladis, built of
huge bricks in browneblac

Company, he received small
time to time thereafter. His
that time induced her old
Roy, now a widow, to coin
with her. Mrs. Roy had a
ernm en t pension, her hush
served in the war of the reb
beiug in delicate health, she
persuaded to give up housek
while, and try the balsa
phere " of the pine woods in
LowelIs lived. So Mrs.
greased it.
Gladis, Mrs. Roy's little
was then about five years
ehi'd, with big dark eyes, and a small
neck. Still, she was quite a s long child,
very active, and not wi•thon beauty of
a certain kind. Mrs. Roy, f or the first
year or two, was too feeble to leave her
room a great deal. Mr. Low :11 was gen-
erally in a back room devote e to mould-
ing, and as Mrs. Lowell was nay much
of the time cutting and past ng tiny la-
bels on the ".bumps" of t e plaster
heads, Gladis was left a gr at deal to
herself. Her face at such ti es wa o al-
ways well powdered with t e ghastly
white of the plaster of P ris, which,
made her big dark eyes seem almost un-
earthly in their brightnese. It was touch-
ing to see this little child aii4using her-
self quietly without playmat s or living
-creature of any kind. The d ning-eoom
was her pla,y-ground, whithe she used
to smuggle from the mouldi g -room all
the cracked or otherwise spo ed heads,
,until 'crossing that room ithout de-
molishing some of Glacliel ,ompany "
became often an acrobatic fe t. When
reproved for brining so mew " trash "

began to pack off her corn
the sofa, the table, or behind
box. No one dared to dest
pets, lest her sensitive little h
hreak over the wrong.
These old cracked phrenolo.ical busts
were all the dolls elle ever h: o, and one
of these, a little one four or ve inches
tall, for some occult reason W: specially
precious in her eyes. The bu ps of. this
one she had herself labelled a ter a plan
of her own. Combativenes " beamed
from the top of the cranium, " Benevo-
lence "-from the tip of the nose, and
" Sublimity " from the nape o the neck.
In fact, her system of cra aiology ap-
peared to be more than ordina ily crazy;
for not only were the organs. c istributed
in a wholly unconventional lo miner, but
these were duplicated and re. uplicated
in different parts of the head. This par-
ticular bust was dignified by the name
" Dolly." Little Gladis hardly ever laid
it by ,all day it was in her arms or near
her, and at night it was ever found close
to her heart.
In the summer Gladis had more free-
dom and life, and active companions
also, which i.and.by becam very dear
to her; th se were the nayri d tenants
of the old. lies behind the h use on the
sunny sid the sheltering ines. Gla -
(lie watched them every ple sant day,
and a pretty picture the bre nod eyed,
curly -headed little child mad , standing
before the hives, with her n ndesoript
"
Dolly" in her amts. At he age of
seven or eight it became her iunction to
watch for the outconting warms—a
task of winch she never we red—and
at ten she took almost the en ire care of
them.
One beautiful June day, wh n she was
about twelve years old, a dis bled loco-
motive delayed a train an ho r or more
at the station, and among tl e passen-
gers who strolled about in tie vicinity
to pass eway the time was a citing man
of twenty, rosynheeked, bea dless, and
as handsome as Apollo. II came by
chance upon Gladis, who wa securing
a colony of bees. She was st riding up-
on a short ladder that stood gainst the
limb of a peach tree, and was in the act
of sawing off a branch heavily aden with
the swarm. To him it was a ovel occu-
pation for a young lady, and indicated
courage and ability, He in tinctively
• raised hie hat to her. Gla is smiled
pleasantly,- asked him if he b longed to
the delayed train, and seein that he.
kept looking warily about hi e , and oc-
casionally shrank back as a b:e flew tin-
corcifortably near him, ahe s id: "
do not dodge the bees in that ay; they
are more apt to sting if you de that."
" Indeed! Then, what oug t Lte do?
You' will say, 'Clear out,' per. aps ; but
I hope not. I like to watch you."
"Do you? Well, take t s lireb,

he said, " I am afraid. I am so r ,for

"Oh, they„won't sting yon," adis
said. " Can't 3rn trust them? "1
He looked into her honest broi yes,
and his cowardice left him in a
nleen t.
"1 will trust you," he replied nd he
advanced without flinching.
" Softly ! softly 1 " said ladle."
"Don't make any quick or jerki cote-
ment, and don't start when a bei gets

don't pinch him. Just take hold o the

thrust betweenthe rungs, and sep ort -
bag the heavy limb with all its m ght,
with the other hand she coolly bru lied
the bee S aside, and made a cleae pace
for hire to grasp.
"1 believe anything now," he sa , as-
tonished and delighted that no e at-
tacked laini. "1 am studyieg 1 w but
I think I'll give it up, and co and
-learn apicaltare of you."
Gladis laughed gayly as she, de oe ded
the ladder, and bade him' bring the
swarm to the hive, on the top of w ioh
was a turkey's wing, put there fo the
occasion evidently; and taking it up,
while he still held the branch, h be-
gan softly to brush the bees into he lit-
tle.door. "Watch now," she sad , "and
you mat/ see the queen. She!s large and
long, wtth very short little qinge.." At
that Moment Gladis descried her Ma-
jesty, ad picking her up as if etee had
been a lly, showed her a too ell in her
hand to the stranger, and t en put her
into the hive. "Now our wo k islet ne,"
she said. "The rest will fello* heir
queen.'
"But how do you know that t1ey will
1
adopt this residence?" he said.
"Oh, I'm pretty sure they ill.
There's a frame in there 'itiI c mb,
and one of the combs has a wh le side
of it ant off. As soon as tie wor ers
find their queen is with then, they will
go at that broken comb. lrhey an't
endure disorder. They wo 't rest till
they have mended rip every broken ell,
gathered up every drop of honey, p t it
back into the cells, and sealed them up.
Now we'd better move awey. ' T iere
are angry bees near us; I kpow by the
sound." 1 ,
Gladis picked up ber saw aid ter ey's
a
wing, and walked by the s de a the
stranger back to the house. Now hat
her task was done, she began to see ow
very handsome he was, and wend red
how she could have been so fam liar
with him, for now she felt a certain by -
nese, ad dropped her , eyes when !the
saw biija looking at her, and especi lly
when h told her that her heir "would
make 4te fortune of a coiffeur," I rs.
Roy wa sitting under the little parch
reading The stranger raised his hat
politely to the elder lady, end GI dis
told he _that he was one of the detnned
passengers, and that he had heen as .ist-
ing her to ecure a swarm of bees.
Mr. Roy smiled, and said: "You are
more' traotable than I am. My dang ter
could never impress me into thebee er-
vioe. I am too afraid of the viru ent
little wretehes."
Gladis, of course, stoutly defended her
pets, and the gentleman said: "t s a
great abcomplishment, mildew, to be
ble to manage bees as your dalig i ter
does --far greater, I think, thaa the
drawing and piano -playing of the yo ing
ladies cif my acquaintance."
Gladi looked incredalous ; but the

the stranger, on the platform of e de.
partiag train, stood looking at t em
with I uncovered head. :` Is my liittle

Midis blushed, hat rnade no d fe se.
Long, she cherished in her memo y the
impression made by the han s me
stranger—cherished it, nursed i ith
fond imaginings, as a sensitive njiai en

resisted her efforts to own and control

With few exceptions this was her 9 ly
recreation during the four years that he
atten ed the village high school. At

broke '.down Professor of Greek nd

Meanwhile, despite the apparexh1y

and faitly danned for joy. Then she
went o t and very grevely received her
lir
syrupprizes, end saw them properly located.
Long efore sunrise the next morning
Gladis- was in her apiary. She placed
a little hite sugar eyebefore eitch
hive dor, that the bees—always greedy
for ewe ts—might find something td do
before ' hey had time to scold about
their a nge of place. During the niext
ten da no bee was ever auger than
Gladis. She studied a ew the work of
Henry itleredith, the bet arid latest 'au-
thority on apiculture, nd quickly de-
cided t4 use his hives anil frames. -Uncle
Benny indly entered het° the spiriq of
the sc sane, and in less than ten d ys
she had her five swarms safely tr De-
ferred to the improved hives. MuclII of
the co,npb was dingy with age, and Iliad
to be discarded, and the transferriug of
the comb to the new frames, wa a
sticky and disagreeable task. Oh, l4ow
glad was Gladis when this was dope!
In one hive some drone a had hatohefl
sure sign of the prosect of a rlew
swarm ;1 but Gladis hu ted these out,
and destroyed them as mercifully as
poesibleJ
The etext important event was he

by expre s, in a little cage of wire gattze.
Most be eitiful was she to Gladis' eyes
with her three golden helts, and large
with tlae thousands of eggs that wer4 to
hatch tie precious Itali n workers.. he
first thitig to be done wajs to find and e-
stroy th queen in one
of the colon es,
and intreduce the Italiae in her plac —
a delicate operation, a d one in wh`ch
Gladis had no experiejnce. The bees
might eraziously accept the new sve-
reign, or they might fa1 upon her 4nd
kill her' in a twinklin . But who lias
not remarked that kiedly providere
which se often crowns with success he
bold first effort of the tyro?
Gladis hung the cage for one day in
her queenless hive; then, presuming
that the pees had become somewhat .ac.
quaintediwitir, her, at night she took her
from the Cage, smeared honey on her
legs, andisOftly dropped her in and left
,her. With what anxiety she went; to
that hive at sunrise the next mornieg !
All was ell. The bees were all in or-
der, and flying back from the orcherd
constantly laden with thoney. Gladis
never saw again a day of such triumph.
She, too, was a scientific apiarian?
The next great task was to watch the
combs of all the hives, and decapitate
every piing drone in hie cell, so that no
more wetuld be batchejl. The Italian
queen wee already layi g thousands of
eggs, and if Gladis ootld prevent the
males from hatching uptil the Italian
drones Matured, the whole stock would
become Italian. Then Italian queen
J‘C
cells moat be taken ,from the Italian
hive, and ingrafted in tbe comb of the
other hi es one by one, after destroying
the black queAns. I this Gladis also
succeeded. The oom on black workers
reared tOe Italian tine ns as tenderly as
id.
possible, Very Jew dra backs occurring,
and before the,end. of ay she sew her
whole stpck of black bees transformed
to the peak, active, golden belted Rath
ane, and' her suptrimpoted. glass boxes
being rapidly filled,with beautiful apple-
bloesom "honey.
The first year Gladis disposed of her
honey in Flor ncenatn and the neigh -
hoeing eillage --about eighty dollars'
wottli. The good Professor was glad of
.her. suceess, a d would not take back
his bees. " Confound the yellow -striped
foreigners 1" he said, affecting a cross
hunter that never deceived Gladis for a
i
moment e" I dare say they would come
buzzing hack to you the next day, and
would utterly refuse to store honey for
me. - 'No: ; you keep them anotheryear
at lettet.' ,
Gladis con] not:express her thanks
for this great kindness: - She had all
along dreaded ilaving to send back those
original ewarms, and she thought he
vvould certainly went them, seeing she
had sevep new and strong colonies.
Now, indeed, Gla.dis felt the delight
of pewees% Uncle Benny was greatly be-
hind in his farm -work from having given
so much time to the bees. This sbe more
than ma.de up by hiring work 'done for
him. I Then there must.be more hives,
