“We found a good big hornets’ nest.”
“Humph! that’s of no account,” was Coulter’s comment
“Isn’t it though! That’s all you know about it,” cried Paxton. “I once found a hornets’ nest and put a big flour bag over it and took it down and brought it to school and had dead loads of fun with it.”
“Say, can you handle ’em that way?” queried Ritter, with interest.
“Certainly, but you have to be awfully careful.”
“Then, it would be a scheme to secure the nest and introduce some of our enemies to the hornets.”
“Just what I was thinking,” said Nick Paxton.
“When can you get the nest?”
“The best time is at night, when the hornets are all inside.”
“You’ll want a good, heavy bag, otherwise the hornets will get out and sting you.”
