“Ax-a-duntly drowned is what the yellow paper said,” he explained slowly. “More’n likely it was su-il-side, my papa said,”, carefully and disdainfully replied Bluebird. She didn’t w an t Billie Bob to be able to put on any airs because of th is new expe rience th a t had come to him , and n eith er child understood th e significance of th e ir words. |§>‘Anyway I ’m not to play w ith you any more fornever, mamma said, ’cause your papa was a-a-bee. No, w hat is it bees does? I know now, ’cause he was a buzzler,” she proudly explained, again shaking h er head disdainfully. Billie Bob plainly was not getting the consideration out of th is th a t he had hoped. “Buzzler! w h at’s a buzzler?” he scornfully replied. “I t’s something bees do anyway, Billie Bob, and I ’m not to play w ith you, so th e re now,” and holding her little golden head high she marched back into the house. There was nothing for Billie Bob to do b u t re tu rn to his own yard. He crawled into th e little straw nest they had made th e day before, and feeling very lonely he cried a little and then fell asleep. In the evening Aunty Nell found him th ere and carried him in. She gave him his supper and pu t him to bed. As she tu rn ed to leave th e room, Billie Bob called a fte r her, “W h at’s a beezler, Aunty Nell?” • “A beezler? W hat a word! Where did you ever h ea r it? ” was her puzzled answer. “Oh! it’s a word Bluebird said,” replied Billie Bob, not comm itting himself in any way. “ I never heard tell of such a word, it’s ju st baby talk. Bluebird in only a baby.” Aunty Nell’s reply comforted Billie Bob. “There, B luebird, my papa wasn’t a beezler, for th e re ’s no such thing as a beezler,” he m urm ured contentedly, his m ind registering th e fact th a t Bluebird was wrong and he knew it. He m eant to tell h er so tomorrow , so th a t she could play w ith him again. “ Beezler, beezler! W hat could th e child have m ean t?” pondered Mrs. Chapman, in the way th a t adults have who are fond of children and und erstand them . So many times a little word dropped from th e ir lips reveals a wonderful storehouse of thought-provoking meditations. “Beezler,” she murmured again, and then, her facs flushed crimson a t a though t th a t flashed th rough her mind. “So th a t is w hat they are thinking! Well, they couldn’t have known W ill Morehouse very well to have thought such a thing, let alone mentioning it to a mere child.” She decided rig h t th en th a t Billie Bob should no t play w ith B luebird again for awhile, for she dearly loved th e lit tle happy-hearted fellow who was so much like his hand some father. In the morning Billie Bob and Aunty Nell left th e house; they were going to Mrs. Chapman’s old home for a week’s visit, they explained to the little boy. The days following were strange, perplexing ones to Myrtle Morehouse, and her one thought was to get through them as soon as possible. (To be continued)
