Peter left the studio, where he had
been painting steadily for hours, and
■topped out Into the garden. It wai
full moon; he blluked under the high j
aun and stretched, still a little dazed
from his long plunge In toll; he Inhaled
full the perfume of roses.
A short distance from him, on thi
adge of the driveway, waa a big hole-
dug, he surmised, to receive some trans-
planted bush. Iliac or magnolia. Water,j
trickling front a hose that stretched
like a black snake across the lawn, wat
making of this excavation a small lake.
Peter stepped to the little gurgling
lake, and sat himself contentedly neat
Its l»ank. A small lake sufficed Peter;
he did not need a big one
It was lovely here. The water anng;
slowly, it rose; the flowers perfumed j
Peter's soul dilated deliciously. Fur
shore. In the blue, a hawk circled.
Hut this did not last. Within the
circle of Peter's carefully established
vacuum, a small hard thing began to
Intrude. Thu rasp of a rake, there be-
hind the hedge, at his hack. His face
darkened and puckered.
He knew w ho wits raking there be- i
hind the hedge. Not only did he know; j
with that fmplarable vision given to;
him with life, he nine sirw.
It vvns his wife who was there be-1
hind the hedge, raking And though I
behind the hedge, which was at his
hack, he saw her,
He knew evm-tly how she looked,
there, behind the hedge. She bad on
the wrapper with the big flower pat-
tern; It -jchjj tie*! around her with a
cord at tne <nd of which waa a worn
tassel. Underneath, the soiled white
hem showed of the gown she had worn
In the night—for from her bed she had
gone to her garden. Her bare feet
were In old brown slippers; there
w ould be streaks of wet ground across
the part of the feet which showed be-
tween the flaccid slippers and tha
sol|o«| gown
They pressed the earth, these feet,
flrtnly; set down well apart In a aoltd
wide base, t^ey pressed It familiarly.
They might—he had seen that —be
sunk. In their flaccid slippers, Info soft
manure, unshrinkingly.
Her hair would be tied light In a
small knot behind. She squatted often
over some seed, some weed. She was
like a strong thick coolie of the rice
paddles.
Peter's face puckered still more. Not
with anger not wHh disgust. bot with
a sort of mournful helplesaiieaa. Thun,
abruptly, another vision came to him,
He tin* her as she had been year* ago.

two movements Interpenetrated each
other. And bringing his long nose still
lower, Pater saw that all this bad a
character of panic and dismay ; that,
had this multitude not been denied
voice, a great confused clamor would
be rising to bis high-perched ear.
Of these hastening from tha vicinity
laden. Carrying it high tn their man-
dibles for short exhausting runs or
dragging It fiercely after them; over
sticks that were great logs to them,
or pebbles that ware Himalayas; aklrt-
lug or piercing clamps of grass which
wars lmjieneirelde jungle, they bore
each a small whltlah thing which
looked like a grain, which, in fact waa
grain—the grain, the life apark, tha
existence Itself of this agitated na-
tion.
Peter ran a glance backward over
their march and found Its starting
I»olnt. The ants had all emerge*!,
they were emerging, from flv* small
holes near the excavation; five little
holm* smaller than the l.ollow of a
wlld-oat straw. Out of them, ce law-
lessly. In a constant trickle, they
peered into the sunlight, carrying <fn
high before them, as the monk does
the cross, the sacred larva; or, hack-
tng up, fiercely snatching It along
after them. Here those of the army
who marched the reverse way, and
which all were without burden, met
those that were coming out and. let-
ting them pass, after a moment's hesi-
tation during w hich they seemed to be
calling to themselves all their cour-
age, resolutely plunged head first down
Into the earth. Peter Sew understood
He was the witness, the god-like wit-
ness of Just such s catastrophe ss. In
the tenebroua past, again and again
had nearly wiped out his own kind.
The water, which was filling the ex-
cavation dug In the garden, from be-
low had established communication
with the city of tlie anta. It was ris-
ing slowly down In there; slowly, mys-
teriously, Inexorably; filling the low-
est chamber*, rising along the gal-
leries. huratlng lnto halls; and the pop
ulatlon. In mute uproar, wns fleeing I
Its crumbling city, hugging tight to lb |
aelf Its life kernel.
Peter's heart thumped and hia
brain flamed. He aaw clearly the great
underground city, tts vaat halts and
dim secret chambers. Its Intervened
galleries vibrant with peril and disas-
ter. He heard the sullen roar of sud-
den Inniahing water*. Walls fell In
large flakes, celling* collapsed, floors
sucked In, and thousand upon thou-
sand every second died. He saw tha
stubborn citizens. In this Immense dis-
solution of all they had ever been
sure of, tenaciously tolling to snatch
from this cataclysmic threat the fu-'
ture of the race, the grains which
were the concentrated promise of fu-
ture generations. Down there., st
every heart beat, thousands died a
sacrificial death: down there, uo'ler
gTound, a great holocaust was taking
place, made splendid hy a myriad
heroisms. Peter became much excited; |
But a broom, a Mg, capable garden
broom now planted Itself down at hla
able; and without looking at more
than tlie broom, which he could see
out of the corner of hla eye, he knew
that hla wife was standing by.
.“Look, Daisy," he said, Inviting her
share his emotion. "Look at the
ants."
There was a moment's silence up
there. Then: "Anfst I should think
there were! Why, th**f*U get Into

He stretched out hts hand and
ttirnml his Angers around the broesu
handle. “IJet down here with roe nnd

sight. !t'a like Rodom, Babylon, At-

A reservoir deep within film began
to surge. It waa a reservoir which
had been filling there In die dark,
drop by drop, for years Heverul times
It had surged as It was now doing.
Buf oely with a tentative pulsing
which did not reach the rim. Now,
each surge brought the accumulated
reserve higher, l.lho aotue alchemist’s
brew boiling on the fire. It rose, neared
the margin, collapsed, roes again. But
each of Its ebullitions waa raising It
higher; nearer to the film which cur-
tained hla ronsrloueneaa from the dark
secrets beneath; nearer hla clear con-

Near the end of the day. Peter stood
once more alone In the garden For
what had passed In The afternoon, h«

after all those years.
To these words, spoken not merely
of the lips, but explosively expelled

The glade was very quiet In the sun,

hummed about hla head, vague, form-
less, buzzing thoughts, circling and

center, wus the kernel fact.
“Cruel and stupid"—that Is what he
had called her.
It seemed to him that a long time

As she stood there, that time long

If that were true, then women were
Indeed terrible.
But If not true—what then!
A strange new kind of discomfort
took possession of him; his mind, as

A alight breeze, ruffling the pool,

"Where did they come In!" he asked
himself.
He and his wife hnd this day made
one of those complete circles which,
as If by some natural law, recurred
