      Working in the ordered Mostowski permutation model, the author shows that in the absence of the axiom of choice the property ``ordered subset without endpoints'' need not be preserved by ultraproducts. This result exemplifies Howard's theorem that Los' theorem together with the Boolean prime ideal theorem are equivalent to the axiom of choice.
