The sand Fly Lives but n Day After
Coming Into the Light.
Here is the tragic story OF the sand

1t has but a day to live In the light.
In order TO earn the right to that day
of life Il lives from one to three years
in darkness, down in the mud at the
bottom OF lakes or rivers. Moreover,
the sand fly is perfectly harmless II
does not bite II has no sting. IL can
not even eat. All ii can do Is to fit
about for a few hours. enjoying the
light of day or the glare OF an electric
lamp.
The sand fly is known TO scientists
familiarly as the May fly, In scientific
terms 1t is called ephemerida. This
name Is taken from the Greek word
ephemeros, which means lasting only
for a day. To the scientists the sand
fly is one OF the most interesting and
beautiful OF insects.
The fly lives but day at most, but
before IL sees the light IL has lived for
from one TO three years under the wa

Two hundred persons, waiting for a

driving six inch spikes with an iron

pr extraordinary about driving spikes
with a maui, even though the head of

for driving spikes was manifest. He

ON TIME
BY BARRY PRETON.

When Theodore Brayton reached the
station, after a wild cab drive through
the muddy streets, the hands of the big
clock in the tower pointed to 5. With
feeling that the world was about to
come to an end, Brayton realized that
the last train for Elmhurst left at 5.
He jumped from the cab and tore
through the waiting-room. As he
reached the trainshed ne saw the red
lights on the end of his train moving
steadily outward. The gateman was
just swinging shut the ponderous
gates, but at a wild whoop from
Brayton he pulled them open again. A
painting, nerve-racking race down the
platform, a vision of two staring,
bleary red eyes which seemed to mock
his efforts; and just as he reached the
end of the platform Brayton caught the
rail on the rear step of the last car,
and with the aid of the brakeman,
who grabbed him unceremoniously by
the collar, swung himself aboard.
Brayton sank into a seat and sat
there painting For moment the Ella
ton he felt in winning his race for the
train excluded every other thought.
Then, as he became cooler and calmer,
he felt a sudden rush of anger toward
old Col. Joyce and his street railway
franchise, which had prevented him
(Brayton) from catching the $50 and

perpetuation of his species.
While his favorite hunting grounds
are the water pipes by the range and
in the crevices of stationary tubs and
kitchen wainscoting, he does not dis
dain the pantry shelves and cupboard
drawers if any remnants Of food are
left there for his delectation.
While water-bugs are more likely
to be found in quantity In old build
ings, they are up-to-date in every re-
spect, and frequently come to call
upon the brand new bride with brand
new furniture in a brand new house
before even her dearest friends find
their way there.
Scrupulous cleanliness is the chief
weapon to use against the water-bug.
A greasy dishcloth, a dirty drain, a
GRUMPY shelf, little dabs Of food set
around uncovered, or a nalodorous
garbage pail, draws him as the magnet
does steel If these bonnie pouches
are lacking he seeks fresh pastures
elsewhere. If in conjunction with
cleanliness, there is a free use OF

doom is sealed.

and he sprawled in the mud of the
avenue. There he of the uniform and
helmet pounced upon him and drag
ged him roughly to his feet. The pur-
suers came up and Brayton found
himself surrounded by a score Of an

came up, painting and dishevelled.

marched through the streets TO the
granite building which served as city

Christian. This O'Clock train would
land him at Elmhurst at Tbs. The
wedding was set for s. Close connec-
ton, but as Brayton remembered how
nearly those tail-end lights had come
to getting away from him, he blessed
his lucky stars that he could get there
at all.
Then he thought of Margaret, dress
ed in her bridal gown and waiting for
him in an upper room. He seemed to
hear her saying, as he had heard her
say countless times:
"Oh, business, business, business!
You're all wrapped up in it, Teddy. I
believe your hateful old business will
keep you away from your own we'd
ding"
He sighed ruefully and wiped his
brow, as he thought by what a narrow
margin that prophecy had escaped full
filment.
At the first stop he sent a telegram
to Elmhurst announcing his arrival by
the 7:15: then he climbed into the
smoker and lighted cigar.
For a wonder there were no delays,
and at Just 7:15 the train pulled into
Elmhurst station. Brayton alighted
and made his way across the muddy
square. 1t was but a few minutes
walk to the house. Again he blessed
his lucky stars that the train was on
time. When he turned into the DIM
ly-lighted avenue which led from the
square he broke into a brisk run. He
could make It; he would be on time
after all. He chuckled to himself with
each long stride.
So engrossed was he with his
thoughts that he failed to notice a
woman coming toward him until he
was close to her, and, although he
swerved sharply, he struck her arm
a CHANGING blow with his elbow.
"Oh, / beg pardon" he called over
his shoulder, and hurried on.
Then. behind him he heard a
woman's scream and the sound of hur-
rying footsteps. The blow had been
so light he knew the woman could
not have been hurt in the collision.
Another scream came TO him and the
sound OF pursuing feet. Well, the
