A MoLE's REVENGE.
TBy Professor l. Q. Buggs.l

The mole, though blind. is credited by
naturalists with being one of the most
powerful and ferocious quadrupeds. To
Californians the tarantula needs no intro
duction. "Emigrants" will need to be
informed that among insects the taran-
tula occupies the same exalted position
that the lion does amongst beasts; that a
full-grown specimen bears marked re-
semblance to grizzly bear; and that it is
the very incarnation of q standing chal-
lenge to mortal combat at all hours of the
day or the night, a duel in the dark being
exhilarating pastime for 1t.
One yelyety afternoon in the sweet
SUNNI er-time of California long ago, as L
lay reeumbent under the shade OF a man
zanita tree on the windward side OF
breezy hillock of the Sierra Nevada Ioot-
hills fronting on the Sacramento FaIley,
was astonished 70 see a mole emerging
from a small hole in the ground about ten
feet away from where l lay, never having
seen one of the glossy furred Hetle lei
lows in that particular locality DeIofe:
My astonishment presently e1pauueu
into amazement and, horror at tne slsht ol
a huge drab-eolored tarantula clinglng 10
the mole,s bare tail. The tail, paws and
long pointed nose of the mole are almost
Wholly destitute of any hirsute covering
whatever. The cannibal tarantula had
good hold on the tail with two venemous,
crescent-shaped, horny 1angs;
No sooner, however, did the mole get
the devoted insect out Of the hole than
did he turn about and snap IL IN twain.
1t let loose its hold very suddenly and
gave itself up to meditations on which
was it's better half.
But hardly had the mole disposed of
his antagonist before another grlsiy
spider emerged from the hole and jumped
onto him. This one fastened its fangs IN
the moie's bare nose, and took such a
position on the top thereof that the mole
was unable either to snap at or get rid of
it, until he thought Of spring OF water
about twenty PAGES distant. Then he
hurried to the water. and the tarantula
let loose at the waters edge, to fall vic
tim to the mole's Indignation and re-
venge.
Soon afterward the mole crept away a
short distance, drew himself up into a
ball and became still L touched 1t with a
