BEES HOUSED IN "COTTAGES" Raisers of Honey Furnish Really Attractive Homes for the lnseetSi Beehives In Lithuania are not the comfortable round igloolike huts that aie commonly used in America. They are built very much like the Lithu anian home, with slanting gable and quaint doorway. The cottages which they build are considerably larger than the round American hives. Double walls are built so that a protective warmth may be kept in the hives and prevent the bees from freezing during the ex treme cold of the long winters. Pine wood Is always used because it Is sup posed to be a greater protection against cold and because it is the most common tree in the forest lands of the country. i It is in the coloring of the hives that the Lithuanian asserts his individual ity. The life of the Lithuanian has been starved of liberty and self-asser tion during centuries. He has been oppressed by Germans and he has been oppressed by Russiansnot only his*art and his literature but even his language has been suppressed. During the years of oppression one of the chief amusements and art me diums was the painting of hives. The highest degree of artistic beauty was often realized. Color combinations of originality and richness were strived for. And it Is notable that a bee farmer tried as many different schemes as possible, so as to differentiate the hives from one another. .Ji **feSCi: ^^^^^^r^ig^MmiMmM^ ^^:iM^^0^^^^^^' 1 the him to robbery, they dis grace him in the eyes of Harle.

The pair learn where the Marquis keeps the letter from the Prefect of Police and that night they break into his house and steal the box -which also contains the deathbed letter of Claudia's: mother, telling the Marquis he is the father of Claudia.
