away from that place, and by the
looks of these great tracks he knew,
that Buster had left in a great hurry.
He found signs which told him that
other little people had been about.
He knew by the sounds that Bowser
had made that Peter Rabbit had been
there. and also Reddy Fox. Finally
he came back to where Prickly Porky

10 call every violent storm a "cy-

cause a cyclone is violent, whirling

could occur on land. The so-called

THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.

The first great Exchange in Eng

The original building. constructed by Gresham in 1870, and dedicated by Queen Elizabeth, who conferred the title of "RoyaP' upon it, was destroyed by the great fire i1 1666. Charles II. laid the founda- ton of the next edifce, which was also burned, in 1888. The new Royal Exchange was opened in 1S44. The materials for Gresham's build ing were all imported from Flanders, and the architect also hailed from that country, while the Bourse at Antwerp served as his model. The
