WasDs Act as Though They Left n
Permanent Track in their Flight.
The painless air has for long been a
favorite figure with those gentlemen the
poets, yet certain winged creatures act as
though they left q permanent track in
their flight through it. Wasps congregated
in the garnet of a big plantation house.
The garnet had four windows, and was
smoothly fioored though innocent of plas-
ter, or any wallis, but roof and gables.
There were OF course plenty of cracks
through which energetic wasps could
crawl. But the wasps, both black ana
red fell in a way of flying in and out
by means of a broken pane in an upper
window sash. The break was about two
inches wide by five in length. Inside
they flew to the pane. crawled a minute
around II, poised a minute on the edge OF
the break, then sailed away. Coming home

nests, or with wood-pulp for nest building.
they also alighted upon the outer surface
of the glass. crawled to the hole, then
crawled inside IL, and after preliminary
buzzlng flew eway each to his nest The
broken pane was some thirty feet above
ground, and had an outlook free of either
shadow or enlargement.
One spring, in the hight of wasp-indus-
try, all the garnet windows were opened,
and left 10 for week. For the FIRST three

days, though the whole lower half Of the
window was open, the wasps continued to
fly in through the broken pane. Thus they
found themselves trapped-the lower sash
fitted close, and shut them in. Yet they
did not fly out again, but crawled round
and round, buzzing furiously, and singing
each other when they encountered. Thus
at least dozen of them met death. Those

they thought was the usual place, but

crawling, dropped from the sill, and flew

though it stood, exactly as of old. In
stead they chose to go in and out through
the cracks and crannies, under the caves
The dirt-dauber wasp had always pre-
ferred this route, even when they came
to the galret with mud balls for their
nests. But they did not love the place as
the other wasps did-the plantation peo-
pie thought it was because nobody cared
how many nests they built there.
The daubers are not merely good ma
sons but perfect communists. Often two
or three lowered in wait, with mortar

certain would never let him have her,
unless he could bring himself 40 accept

Besides there was the matter OF the
bull calf Lawson swore impatiently when
he thought of 1t. He must have been an
awful young idiot, to set on foot that
foolish scheme. But 1t had not seemed
foolish then-only exqufsitely humorous,
TO tether a lusty yearing in the pulpit
whence Parson Gentry was expected to
preach True the Dsrson had turned the
Joke by making the creature point the
moral Of a fine and moving discourse, on
sThe beasts which perish" All the same,
Lawson knew there was in his mind a
sediment Of irritation, so gritty it might
provoke an explosion.
Curiously he had no doubt whatever as

pick and Shoose among the best. There
had been that in her eyes, dropping before
hls cwn, In the fluttering of her soft
hand, the delicious under-tremor of her
voice which warmed his heart, and made
his pulses leap whenever he let himself
recall it.
Parson Gentry had his own training
track and spent all the fine summer
mornings beside IL, meditating on his SER
mons and watching. his horses. As Blue
Bonnet. the pride OF his heart, pulled up
at the end of four miles, fighting for her
head sand evidently fun of running, he
smiled, ecstatically, and said to the boy
who rode her:
