challenge the sun mary manning stepped from the companion- way rosy as the dawn sweet as the sunwarmed air she stood a moment inhaling the mornings freshness re velling in the candng glints of the rising sun upon tho waters then glanced aft she seemed to be hesi tating mr adams greeted her with a smiling good morning you have never taken your trick yet miss manning he said you wont get a better

word mr allans replied gallantly mary took tho wheel and the helms man stood by until the second mate- was satisfied that she could steer as well as tho seaman she sang softly in a full throated contralto that held tho timbre of tho ccean itself drake moved from brass to brass he set down his brickdust and oil tin on the lee grating as she sang the last lines of the verse glad and glad was the sailor lad as he steered and sang at his wheel and when sue began to sing the refrain drake unconsciously sang in harmony only another day to wander only another night to roam then safe at last

utterly ruin the sheep pelt for a rug and the skipper expected to make decided hit when he gave that snowy silky skin to mary you wore a blue velvet frock and a silly potshaped hat that hid your ears and almost smothered your face he said softly he polished away at his brass but glanced up and grinned to see her eyes widen and her parted teeth gleam through lips slightly open ed in a little gasp of surprise a slow- smile broke over her face and she raised her brows and you were in a beastly temper she retorted you slammed the gate i knew you were no ships boy now tell me what on earth you have em barked on this crazy escapade for is it so crazy he asked softly and looked full into her blue eyes with so much meaning in his own glowing black ones that the blue eyes fell the deep color flooded her neck and throat and she turned her face away drake bent over his brasswork polishing like mad chuckling happily and the big ship swung wide oc her course for marys attention was far far off the main skysaii flapped and went aback the royals began to shake the flying jib rattled its hanks and thumped its sheet blocks mary spun the big wheel drake sprang to help her but the mischief was done the skipper came running up the lajrier his face portending ill for the culprit ho stoppej and stared when he saw the helmsman then p sarcastic sneer twirled his free and he curtly told the

leaders had done no panic no riot nothing but perfect order after the new course had been fol lowed for several hours we felt some what safer there was nothing to do then but watch them and watch them we did for two days yes two days before the last ant left the yard there were no laggers or stragglers those ants seemed to possess an extremely practical knowledge of the order of marching large ants led the colony guards were posted on each side of the line at intervals to keep the file in ord er our attempts to check their pro gress broke tho ranks only for a few minutes right at tho porch their formation resembled an arrow the head of the procession was always a perfect v they seemed to be organized in a regular series of those vshaped regi ments marching through tho yard at various intervals several times we were extremely relieved feeling that tho last of the ants had gone through the yard but on looking toward the mountain we could see another regi ment appearing and so it continued from early noon of the first day until sunset of the second those poor stupid ants as if climbing the houso wero not enough extra mileage for them at the end of the gravel walk which they followed was a gate since the gate was nar rower than the walk only those fort unate ants in the centre of the proces sion could walk under tho gate the gateposts were right in the path of the ants who wero on both sides of the file those ants went up over and down the posts tho birds in the vines on tho porch wero frantic during the first few hours the ants wero around they fussed and cried in a very disturbing manner some of the ants got into the vines and thus into the nests it was early summer tho young birds had just been hatched late tho first day wo- found that all the young birds bad
