Charles II. Fry of Central America told
rather an amusing story Down in my
country" he said, lone of the first things
you get acquainted with is a small, bright
green lizard. They are quite tame, harm
less and very lively. When caught by the
tail, they have peculiar fashion of slip
ping away, leaving that appendage behind
them.
lone afternoon l was sitting on my
doorstep watching one of these little crea-
lures darting about for flies. 1t became
quite bold and in one of its quick move
ments jumped on my foot. l made a sud
den grab and caught it by the tail. With
a wriggle it was off, leaving that portion
of its body still in my hand.
las l had no particular use for it,
threw it on the ground. In few minutes
/ noticed that a lot of ants had discovered
the piece of tail and were dragging 1t off
as fast as they could to their hole close by.
When they had arrived almost to their des-
tination, / noticed the lizard q few inches
away intently watching the ants and his
missing property.
Just as the ants were making final
pull to their nest the lizard darted out
among them and Selling his bit of a tail
swallowed it with evident relish. Phil
