Twins ran right after him as fast as
they could 1t was nice and cool in
there and the hole was a regular tan-
mel. running deep into the ground.
After a while they came to a big
round room with white eggs all over
the floor, and in one corner of this
room they saw the largest Ant they
had ever seen in their lives. She had
beautiful wings like a bee, and there
were several other Ants gathered
about her, feeding her with choice
foods and stroking her with their long
feeIers.
That's the Queen Ant" whispered
the Sandman. she lays all the eggs
for The whole tribe and it keeps her
Sc very busy that she hardly ever
leaves the house. Size is the mother
of all these other Ants and they love
her very much"
Just then little Ant began to poke
its head out of the end of one of the
white eggs nearest to where they
stood, and the Twins were much in
terested in seeing 1t hatch out, when
suddenly there was terrible crash
and the ceiling fell in on top of them
Some careless man must have
stepped on top Of the house." said the
Sandman, as soon as they had pushed
the fallen earth off from their heads.
The Ants came running from all d.
rections and some of them began dig
gfng new tunnel to the surface of
the ground, because all Of the old ones
had caved in and they could not get
out. AS soon as it was finished every
Ant picked up an egg or a young Ant

One of Them.

One OF Them.
Ali but Abraham had slept that
night as if he had been drawn
TO rest unde. the compelling shelter
of the wings of all that flock which il
happier days he had dubbed contemp-
tuouely them air old hens" Never
afterward could the dazed old gentle
man remember how he had beer per
suaded to come into the house and up
the stairs with Angelina. He only
knew that In the midst of that heart
breaking farewell at the gate, Miss
Abigail, all out of breath with running,
red in the face, but exceedingly hearty
of manner, had suddenly appeared.
"Shoo, shoe, SHOOT" this stout angel
had gasped. "Naow, Cap'n Abe, yew
needn't git naryous. We're as harm
less as doves. Run right erlong. Yew
won't see anybody ternight. Don't
say word. It's all right SSH!
Shoot" And then, loI he was not in
the county almshouse, but In a beau
tiful, bright bedchamber with wreath
Of immortelles over the mantel, alone
with Angy.
Afterward, it all seemed the blur of
a dream to him, dream which ended
when ne had found his head upon a
cool, white pillow, and had felt glad,
glad-dear God, how glad!-to know
that Angy was still within reach of
his outstretched hand; and so he had
fallen asleep. But when he awoke
in the morning there stood Angelina
in front of the glass taking her hair
out Of curl papers; and then he slowly
began to realize the tremendous
change that had come into their lives,

GRAY HAIR THING OF BEAUTY
Given Proper Care and Attention Its
Possession VIII Excite ErVy-Use
Borax When Washing.

Once gray hair is an accomplished
fact, and not merely a threat, its pos
SCISSOR soon begins to realize its
beauty. 1t should be frequently sham
pooed, so that it is ,even~in color and
smooth in texture and it should be
brushed carefully and regularly and
often INDUCED in sun and air baths.
Gray hair will be of more uniform
shade if borax is put in the water in
which it is washed, and if the hair is
an ugly yellowish gray or white,
little bluing, say a tablespoonful to
a basin of water, will remove the Of
fensive tinge.
OF course, gray hair must be care
fully dressed. and the best effects
are gotten when it is slightly I'M
