They b?*gan to climb down, down,
until they reached the queen's favor
ite parlor. She was particularly busy
but was polite enough to acknowledge
her visitors by slight wiggles of her
feelers. The Jogalong and the bov
passed on into the next room, for they
did not wish to disturb her. Here the
nurses were busy with the babips who
were beginning to grow from funny
little grub bodies to real ants. The
nurses were helping them to unfold
and dry their new legs and wings. It
was a very difficult thing to do. They
had to devote the most can-fill ntton
tlon every minute. Sometimes they
talked with each other.

Now it is too bail Mint he laughed
so quickly, for flunks that ?re funny

very fond of the sweet honey dew
which their small white cows give
them and though these strange crea

they are led to pasture on young
leaves much as real cows are to the
green fields. The ants who care f?-r
them watch the leaves upon which

looks to others like a small white
