Washington who had passed through
40 many dangers felt that danger
awaited him should he dine with the
old man, but wishing to know X his
fears were well grounded. he accepted
the invitation and let the old man
think he was falling into his trap"

breathlessly.

talk to the subject OF traitors and
asked his host II ne knew the reason
why some Americans were so ungrate
tul as to forget what the Army and
government were doing for them and
to turn against their own families. TO
sell themselves to the enemy. The old
man fdgeted and fused and was too
embarrassed to answer Just at that
moment the sound Of horses hoofs
was heard upon the gravel path.
What soldiers are these?" crted the
General. noting the red coats and
cooked hats Of the mounted guard.

~ jreds OF ants running in every
direction you are hooking at the
upper-story Of an ant village. You
see only the ;op-story where ali Is in
confusion because you have taken
their roof away. and they are running
for shelter from the fearful giant
But II you could see them when they
are undisturbed. and If you could
know who each little ant Is, you would
be very much surprised.
Each ant has his especial task and
his work is carried out with remark
able order. Every village Is governed
by queen. She Is very much larger
than her subjects, she liz really the
mother OF most OF them as she lays
all the eggs. This queen has her army
OF soldiers; they are real soldier-ants
whose duty IL is 10 protect the vii
lage from other insects. They have
large heads and dreadful pinchers, and
you may be sure that their enemies
are afraid OF them. One of their du~
ties is 10 carry of other insects n
slaves and bring them to the village.
The ants called workers collect the
food and bring It home. and there la
always plenty. for these little workers
are never lazy. One thing they bring Is
honey. They keep a living honey-pot
at home who hangs from the roof OF
one Of their little rooms under the
ground. The workers bring the honey
IN and feed It to the ant honey-pot
who Is many. many times larger than
the other ants. He stores Il ali up IN
his large stomach and has It ready
for the hungry villagers.
Some OF the workers are nurses.
they care for the eggs and the young
after they are Matched. These nurses
