There was now such a great heap of them ready that the Beeman gathered them into a basket and, summoning Oliver to help him, carried them outside. He did not, immediately, go down the slope to the beehives, but set the basket on the step and sat down on the bench beside it. "You had something to tell me," he said, "something that disturbed and excited you.
But if the Beeman were really Cousin Tom, then he could, of course, put everything right and more immediate cause for rejoicing Polly could cook! "Oh, come down to the kitchen and get Cousin Jasper something to eat," he begged. "He is almost starved. It is half past eight and he had lunch at twelve."
Dale, do you think you'll get us there safely and soon?" asked Helen, wistfully. "I won't promise soon, but I promise safe. An' I don't like bein' called Mister," he replied. "Are we ever going to eat?" inquired Bo, demurely. At this query Roy Beeman turned with a laugh to look at Bo.
"Jim, whose pack is that?" she asked. "Ma'am, I dunno, but I heard him tell Roy he reckoned his name was mud," replied the boy, smiling. Helen's heart gave a quick throb. That sounded like Las Vegas. She hurried on, and upon entering the courtyard she espied Roy Beeman holding the halter of a beautiful, wild-looking mustang.
The only thing is to see that he doesn't harm others as well as himself." Oliver had one more question to ask. "I want to know your last name, and Polly's," he said. "I can't think how you knew mine and I had quite forgotten to wonder about yours until Janet reminded me that I had never heard it. I have no name for you but the Beeman."
Hawtrey admitted it. "Of course," he said. "You feel sure I could do it by holding on?" Edmonds seldom answered such a question. It was apt to lead to unpleasantness afterwards. "Well," he said, "Beeman, and Oliphant, and Barstow are operating for a fall. One would fancy that you were safe in doing what they do. When men of their weight sell forward figures go down."
He has hurt others, he has brought no happiness to himself, and, unless I am mistaken, he is going to wreck his whole scheme in one tremendous crash that we cannot now foresee. A lawyer, like myself, sees many hard, miserable, sordid things, but a Beeman has leisure to speculate as to whither they tend. And they all tend to the same thing."

Janet was as warmly welcomed as Oliver, and they were both bidden to come in and sit down beside the table where Polly was sorting the little wooden boxes in which the bees build the honeycomb. "We were just going to begin a story," said the Beeman. "Polly has been clamoring for it for half an hour." "But I wanted to ask you something," broke in Oliver, too much excited for good manners.
Next morning, as he and Janet left the car beside the orchard wall and climbed the grassy slope of the hill, Oliver's one misgiving was lest the Beeman should not be there. But yes, as they came up the steep path they heard voices and smelled the sharp, pleasant odor of wood smoke drifting down toward them.
