MOLE v
CHAPTER lit.
A Breakfast Lost.
When Farmer Green's cat looked
iround and discovered that Grand
father Mole had disappeared from
the garden a puzzled look came over
Tier face. She couldn't think where
he had gone in just a few seconds.'
Hut she knew then why Mr. Crov
had 'laughed. And she was no?
pleased. ; '
"Where is he," she asked .fr
C row. "You interrupted via at ,my
breakfast and now I've lost if." i
' Mr. Crow . was rocking hack and
1'ortli on his perch, for jt joke on
, nnj-'jody cM'cpt .himself always de
lighted lr'm. '
'Grandfather Mole i right lierc in
the jtarden," ,e declared. . -
v"'l'hcn he tntift have hidden be
iicath a vegetable," the cat observetj.
' "t shouldn't say that, exactly," Mr.
Crow replied. "
"How far away is he?" the cat
demanded. ' '
"That would be hard to tell," Mr.
Crow answered. '
Farmer Green's cat had ne.'er liked
Mr. Crow, for no particular reason.
And now she certainly had a, very
' special reason for being angry with
him. v . '
"It's all y6ur fault," she scolded.
"If you hadn't spoke to tne I'd never
The whole affair amused Mr.'
have taken my eyes off Grandfather j
Mole. . . . The least yon can do,
sue added, "is to tell me this instant,
iv here Grandfather Mole is."

reminded her. "He's here in the
..garden. Find him if you can!" , ' ; ,
Af that Farmer Green's cat began
ip-riln up and down between the
rows of yegetabjes. IJut she had no
luck at' alt. So after a while, she
came back and told Mr.. Crow hat
, she didn't believe him.
"Tut. tut!" said Mr. Crow. "You
haveti't looked in the right place.''
,; "I've searched the whole garden!'!
the eat cried. ' s, ,
' "Oh. nof Mr, Crow exclaimed.
"You've looked only on top of the
ground. II you want to find Grand
father Mole you must -look beneath
the surface."
The f( was ceatly. disappointed
when she heard that, ;
"You don't 'mean tp sav that l,ie
. went into a hole, do you?" she asked.
' "I do," Mr. Crow declared. ,
"l don't see one anywhere,", she
said. "If I had I'd have been more
careful how. I let him run about." ,
"Ah!" said, Mr, i Crow. T see you
don't khow'that Grandfather Mole
always carries a hole around with
him, wherever he goes; He believes
in having one handy in case of sud
den need.", ;
"1 didn't see it," the cat told him
angrily. '
f 'Ot course not!" Mr. Crow agreed.
"How could you see a hole until'. it's
. put in a certain place, readv to-;us?"
Well, the, cat was puzzled. vSome-
, flow she couldn't "quite". ? understand
Mr.i Crow's ''remarks. And yet there
seemed some Sense in thepi, too. But
she pretended that she understood,
because she didn't want him to think
she' was stupid. And without thank
ing him for his explanation (for she
was still angry) she tum'ed and went
off towards .hc meadow. -
. The whole affair" amsed;- .Mr.
Crow greatly. It kepbJhini in a gocAi
.-humor all that day. And he went
about telling everybody how Grand
father Mole had dug himself out o
sight in the garden, almost under, the
cat's nose. , ! . .' . .
.For that, was exactly what had
happened. . - v, , '1. 'v-"

' The turquoise, today's talisman ic

v ltb the power to bring good for
tune, resulting from the attainment
:i -wealth, tojhosc Who saw the new
moon reflected in its depths. How

v.as a gift to the wearer, not pur
' chased by him. - u
The diamond, today's natal stone,
should also be a gift if its' wearer is
to enjoy good fortune in love af
lairs; to exert its powers to Ke full
it should be set in gold and worn on
the left arm. - , . ,
Today's color is light green, which
is symbolic of joyousriess and pleas
i;re. The ancients believed that it
brought happiness to those who pre
ferred fleeting pleasures to less keen
' and more lasting ones. ,

temporary, fascination, is today's

straw or bristles. Just svho invented

And always was complaining. t
When first he Yell in Satan's toils
He roared with indignation;
When suffering a bit from boils
y He cursed his generation. .
Though kindly prophets gathered round
To off ei the prediction ,.
That shortly would a way be found ;
To free him from affliction, , '
He swore that he no longer cared
Upon the earth to languish ; .
He tore hi3 hair; his breast he bared;
He cried aloud his anguish.

'Misfortune made more hard his lot,
But did he laugh and flout it,' I
And. bear it meekly? He did not;
He wailed aloud about it.
He reeled off yards of. bitter verse
When tougher luck assailed him,
He launched a long pictorial curse
On everything that ailed him.
His gift of diction was enough
A splendid fame to win him,
He turned out great poetic stuff,
But patience wasn't in him!

WHY
Is the Clock in the British Housrof
Parliament Called "B's Ben?" -
While the name "Big Ben" -is usu
ally considered as applying only to
the clock in the tower of the houses
of Parliament, it is also the name of
the bell . which .announces the hour
m this clock a masterpiece of time
keeping 4cs'Slled, in 1851, by Lorif
Gtimthorpe, in conjunction with Sir
i'G. B. Airy, the astronomer royal, an 1
Mi. Dent. The bell, which is slight
ly cracked, was - cast by George
Mcars in 1858, and derives its njek-
tn.rue from iir lienjamm Han, wno
was the first commissioner of works
lit the time.
This bell weighs- between 13 and
14 tons, and though bv day its son
orous boom is practically drowned in
libs rear of-the street, traffic, on calm
i o" ghjts." its sound may be heard even
beyond the city limits of London.
While numbered among the largest
bells in the world, "Big Ben" is not
ST eat when compared with the giant,
bell of Moscow, which weighs no
less than 138 tons, ,,, . '
