"How do you know ?" "I knows it's a bees' nest," said Gregory, somewhat reproachfully.
"Didn't I see de bees goin' in an' out fru a little hole ?" "Kate," said Harry, "you hold this gun a little while.

I'll run down there and see if it is really a bee-tree that he has found.

Hold it under your arm, that way, with the muzzle down.

That's it.

I'll be back directly." And away he ran with Gregory.
And now Kate was left alone in the woods with a gun under her arm.
