When I woke up this uiprninK which was Wednesday, I got the can and crawled hack into bed with it and 1 looked at the meadow mole Unite a while, and then I touched it with my fin"rr and jiitnp d hccai.s I thought it might bite me, and then it did nut hitc me or even growl at mr, so then 1 tvk it out and held it, and it pl its little" paws together and tried to dig between my hands and it was awful strong, and it was nut because my hands were dirty that it tried to dig them, because I gt up and washed them and it still tried to dig them. I was so busy having a gnodjitnc with it that my father opened the screen dour and came in before I knew it was time fur his breakfast, and when he saw what I was duing he smiled ami lit the gas stove and stirred up the pancakes himself, ami then 1 put it hack in its can and made the coffee, and then I asked him if he thought the meadow mole would like dome coffee or pan cakes, and he said that the things they liked pest were raw carrots and turnips and roots, and that shows what rotten taste they have got, but they have got awful soft fur. IIHF.N wr had our breakfast Worlev did not come to walk to school with me so I took my meadow mole and me andTiowdy rambled, and when I got over to where Spot was he wanted me to give it to him. but I told him I would give him a btam on the bean, and then the bell rang and ! took it in school and when the teacher asked me what I had and I showed her she made me go around to each desk and show it to each of the pupils at he calls the kids and the girls were afraid of it and the hoys all wanted it, and then Miss Sands Pild them all about it and the things it eats and does and the farmers do not like them very well be cause they eat the things up under the ground and when he goes to pull up a carrot for dinner he don't get anything but the top and that it a good jo!., on him. Anyone tha,t would eat a rnr rot ought to have something happen u him, and then the asked me what I was going to do with it and I told her I wal going to train it to do trick agd then I could charge people money to sre it do them, and she said I could nut do that because it could not see the tricks I wanted ft to do and 1 could not tell it because it could not understand my voice, to then I told her I was going to take it back right where 1 gui it ami turn it loose. Then the said I might have a holiday to do it in be cause I had my lessons and I might start right away, and then all the pupilt at she calls them looked like they wished they were me. They would have been lucky to have even been my dog Rowdy. All the way out to the fiejd where we got it Rowdy kept jumping up and trying to get a look at the mole and tha mole kept trying to dig out of my handt and I wai buty at if I wat a dog and had flees on me. When we got out to the lot I told Rowdy to be dead but he did not want to. do it to I had to tell him again and then he did it and I put tlie mole right down where he bad dug it out of and it began to li and it was out of sinht in nu time, and then when I called Kowdy he wanted tu div; it out a(ain but I would nut let him, and all the time while we were g.ung across the field he kept looking ha k so sad and anxious that I was glad when he saw a rabbit because I knew he -ould not catch it and he would feel better when he had nearly run hu legs off. A RABBIT is a very strange insect or whatever it is I am going to call it when I get my education. It will run till the dog that is chasing it has almost run Ins legs off and has to iie down to rest and then the rabbit will stop and stand up on his hinT legs ami look around to where the dg is nearly dead from running and then the rabbit which has run just as far and just as fast as the dog has will put tlown his other feet and run a miles more just for fun. I suppose the rabbit thinks the dog is plaung with him, but if a rabhit ever thinks ah"iit that and stops tu play with ow Iv there will be a strange rabbit in heaven in almost no time. Me and Kowdy went up to where the little river runs into the big one and then we went up that a little ways and I found some wild flowers to take home to my own true daddy who is nut going to marry anyone and Miss Sands might as well know it, but they were warm and sweaty from my hand when I got them there, but he put one on his roat and then he went to his watching and I wondered if there was anything else let me out tomorrow. A flea would not be anv good. I expect I wnl g" tu sili,, id tomorrow and stay put. I praed to mv mother to get busy right awav planning my vac ation. Amen.
