off in the woods by 9 o'clock, according
to Uncle Eb's diaree and I remember
the trail led us into thick brush, where
I had to get out and walk a long way.
It was smooth underfoot, however, and
at noon we came to a slash in the tim-
ber full of briers that were all agloW
with- big blackberries. We filled our
hats with them, and 'Uncle Eb found a
spring, beside_which we hunt a -fire and
had a memorable Meal that made me
glad of my hunger. .
Then we spread the oilcloth and- lay
down for another sleep. We could see
the glow of the setting sins through the
tree tops when we wohtio and began
our packing.

.It was glooming 'fast in the thick
timber, and Uncle Eb almost ran with
me while the way was plain. The last
ringing note of the- wood thrush had
died away, and in a little while It was
so dark I could distinguish nothing but
the looming mass of tree trunks.
He stopped suddenly and strained bls•
eyes in the dark. Then he whistled a
sharp, slidiug note, and the sound of it
gave me some hint of his trouble._
"Git down, Willie," said he, "an' tek

for hours, it seemed to me, end every-
where the Innen tree trunks were heap-
ed in our way. tnele Eb sat down on
one of them awhile to rest.
"Like the bones 0' the dead," said he
as he took a chew of tobacco and pick-
ed at the rotten skeleton of a fallen
tree. We were both pretty well out of
breath and of hope also, if I remember
rigbtly, •when we rested again under
the low hanging boughs of a basswood
for a bite of luncheon. Uncle nib open-
ed the little box of honey and spread
some of it on our bread and butter. In
moment I noticed that half a dozen
bees had lit in the open box.
"Lord Harry, here's honeybees!" said
he as he covered the box so as to
keep them in and tumbled everything
else intothe basket. :"Make haste now,
'W lie, and follow me With all yer,
in diat," he added.
In a minute Itlet_ out one of the bees
end started running in the direction• it
flew. It went but a ft feet and then
rose into the tree top. -
"He's goinh ti ,git up into the open
nir," said Uncle Eh. "But I've got his.
bearin's, an' I guess he knows the way,
ell.right."
We took the direction indicated for a
few minutes, and then Uncle Eb let out
nnother prisoner. The bee flew off a
little way and then rose in a slanting
eourse to the tree tops. He showed us,
however, that we were looking the
right svay.
•
"Them little fellers hey got a good
compass," said 'Uncle Eb as we follow-
ed the line of the bees. "It p'int' home
evny time an' never makes a mistake."
We went farther this time before re-
leasing another. He showed us that We
had borne out ot our course a little, and
as we turned to -follow there were half
a dozen bees fl-ying around the box as if
begging for admission.:
"Here tiiey are back aghin," said Un-
cle Eb, "an' they've told a lot o' their
cronies 'bout the man an' the boy with
honey."
At length one of thern. flew over our
heads and back in the direction we had
come from.

When we Were about going she brought
a little wagna out of the .cellar that
had been a plaything of her dead boy
and said- I could have At. -This won-
derful wagon was just the thing for
the journey we were making. When
I held the little tongue in my hand I
wits halfway to heaven already. It
had four stout 'wheels and a beautiful
red box. Her brother had sent it all
the way from New York, and it had
steed- so long in the cellar it was now
much in need of repair. Uncle Eb
took It to the tool shop in the stable
and put it in shipshape order and made
a little pair of thins to go in place of
the tongue. Then be made a big flat
collar and a back pad out of the leath-
er in old boot legs and rigged a pair of
tugs out of two pieces of rope. Old
Fred was quite cast down when he
Stood in harness between the shafts.
He waited patiently to have his col-
lar fitted; he had grinned and panted
and' wagged his tail with no suspicion
of the serious and humiliating career
he was entering upon. Now he stood
-with a sober face; and his aspect Was
full of meditation.
"Yon fightini hound!" said Uncle Eb.
- "I hope this '11
one -rove yer character."
Fred tried to sit down when Uncle
Eli tied a leading, rope to his collar.
When he heard the wheels rattle and
felt the pull G: the wagon he looked
back at it and growled a little and
started to run. 'Uncle Eb shouted
"Whoa!" and held him back, and then
the dog got down on his belly and
trembled until we patted his head and
gave Iiim a kind word. Ile seemed to

with R. steady stride. Our hostess met
us. at the gate, and the look of her fece
when she bede us goodby and tucked
some cookies into my pocket has al-
ways lingered in rny memory and put
in me g mighty respect for all wo-
men. The sound of her voice, the
tears, the waving of her handkerchief
as we went away are among the things
that have made me what I am.
We stowed our packages in the wag-
on box, and I walked a few miles and
then got into the empty basket. Fred
tipped his load over once or twice, hilt
got a steady gait in the way of indus-
try after awhile and a more cbeerful
look. We had our dinner by the road-
side on the bank of a brook an hour or
so after midday and came to a little vil-
lage elsout sundown. As we were near-
ing it there was some excitement exam:1g
the dogs, and one of them tackled Fred.
He went into battle very promptly, the
warm jumping and rattling until it
turn4d bottom up. Re -enforced by !ti-
de lib's cane, he soon SIM the heels of
his aggressor and stood growling sav-
agely, He was like the goal in a pni-
zle maze, all wound and tangled in his
harness, and it took some time to get
his face before him and his feet free.
At i small grocery, where groups of
men lust out of the fields Were sitting,
then: arms bare toe the elbows, we
bought more bread and butter. In pay-
ing for it Uncle Eb took a package.out

had an evil flavor, for he winked at his

a bit cross when I clinahed into the

REASON NC2
WHY YOU SHOULD USE
ed Rose
•Te::
Because of its flavor.
Why do you buy certain varieties of fruit and
vegetables? Is it not because you like the flavor of _
some bettdr than others?
Flawkr is the special quality which stamps one
brand of &,od product as superior to another, and is the
quality that always commands the highest price.
The delicate, fragrant flavor of Red" Rose Tea is
the result of scientific study and methods on the tea
plantations, and in the tea testing and blending rooms.
It has what might be called a fruity taste—a rich,
ripe flavor that is very pleasing to the palate—a taste
you woet forget.
The Blue Label is recommended.
