The Hard.Worklna Ant.

It is perhaps worth noting that the
worker castles are never seen at play
The truth seems to be that their life
is so strenuous from fits first expert
ences of imagohood to the end Of
their career that there is no time for
recreations' of any sort. Work work,
ceasless work on their endless round
of duty is their lot, varied only by
scant periods for eating, for sleep, for
personal cleansing and occasional mu-
tual "shampooing." The amusements
Of ant communities, such as they are,
are limited to the dependent leisure
classes, says Harper's. However, 1t
must be remembered that all Of the
routine labor is not of the exacting
sort, like mining and nursing. More
over, the liberty TO knock of WORK"
at will is one OF the inallenable priyi-
leges of the caste workers-one that
is freely used, but apparently never
abused. No doubt, under such rule,
they get more satisfaction--one might
even say more enjowment-out of life
than winged idlers whose career is
shut in and restricted at so many
points that they seem to be little
more than privileged prisoners Of
state.

Toads Migrating.

Ranciiers in the vicinity Of the
George Bixby ranch, FIVE miles north
east OF the city, say that the myriads
of toads which have covered the fields
and roads in that section for weeks
past have begun to migrate overland
toward the ocean and can be seen by
hundreds hopping across country
southwesterly.
The ponds and sloughs in which
they had their birth have dried up.
The ranchers say that seven years
ago there was a like migration OF
frogs and toads from the ranches to
the sea, but the amphibians are more
numerous this time.-Long Beach cor

seemed TO hesitate TO admit him, but
he pushed a coin into her not unwill-
ing hand, and putting her gently aside,
darted laughingly up the stairs He
we'll knew the way to her boudoir.
He knocked and called softly.
"Eleinl Eiein! II isl" There was no
answer, and. pushing the door open,
he peered into the room.
All! there she was asleep by the
fire. Well He would kiss her into
wakefulness. Her back was turned
toward him. One slender arm hung
limp and neryeless at her side. He
tiptoed quietly across the room, and,
smiling happily, leaned over tire
chair. She was breathing heavily; her
beautiful unbound hair fell IN a dis
heyeled mass over her disordered gown
and strayed across her white bosom.
Her large dark eyes were half opened,
and staring straight ahead. The deli
cate, sensitive lips hung loose and
purpled. The whole figure was ex-
pressive Of total abandonment to some
evil, blighting influence.
The smile slowly faded from his face
and a look Of horror, disgust and
loathing took its place Was this sod
den, insensate thing the woman he
had placed above all others? Had
chosen for his life compartment His
practiced eye had caught the mean
ing of those tiny scars on the naked
arm. Shee, tool It was horrible.

him like warm garment and left his

less fears and terrors. lie shivered
as the night air blew sharply on his
heated face, and turned up his coat
collar in a vain endeavor to protect
himself.
The noises of the night were mad
dening. The imps were beginning to
pound on his temples again. What a
course life was; thrust as It was on one
without any option Of their own. It
was not TO be endured. There was no
truth or happiness to be found any
where; eTefything was useless, hope
less, horribly He would end 1t all.
lie stumbled heavily along; each
foot seemed a weight more than he
could lift. His brain was in a whirl
Of confusion. One idea alone stood out
prominently, and that was to find
somewhere oblivion, relief from con-
seriousness. He turned his bewildered
steps toward the river. Its low, sui
len murmur seemed to lull and soothe
him, as he hung fascinated over its
dark depths, too inert and nerveless
to make a final effort. Then exerting
all his strength he plunged forward.
He felt himself falling, falling, and as
he struck the icy water with half
suppressed scream he opened his eyes.
Johnson, with an expression full Of
anxiety, was dashing cold water on
his face. The sun streamed warmly
into the room, and through the closed
window penetrated the shrill, CHEEKY
cry of "Mornin' papes" The dear old
everyday world was making into life
again. He looked around bewildered,
and then the blessed truth rushed up
on him. Thank Cod Thank God!"
he whispered brokenly. 1T was only
a dream born of that narcotic fiend."
There was still time for redemption.
Life, love, hope. were still within his
grasp.-Marie Budd in Boston oPst.
