In a few minutes all Of Mrs. Earth
worms family were nipping the legs
and arms of the young Seedlings who
now were really frightened and call
ing for help.
Old Mr.. Root could not help them
there was only one who could and
that was Mr.. Mole and Mr.. Root knew
where he lived; it was not far from
his home, and he managed to send
him a wireless message telling him
Of the poor Seedlings troubles.
Mr.. Mole jumped out of bed and
ran through his tunnel, for he had
known about the family of Mrs. Earth
worm and intended to get them as
1901 as they awoke; but he, too, has
oversight that morning.
In q few minutes he was on the
scene and not many of the Earth
worms escaped, for Mr.. Mole is quick
and sure and very fond Of Earth
worms.
When the last of their enemies had
disappeared the Seedlings thanked Mr..
Mole and told him that they never
would have had a chance to see the
light If he had not come to their res
cue.
"That is all right" replied Mr.. Mole /:
sit was no trouble at all, and any
time you see one Of those fellows just
call on me-"
How did you know where to find
him?" the Seedlings asked Mr.. Root.
for they knew he had sent the mes

Oh! 1 know all about his habits
and he makes his fortress near me.
SO all | had to do was to send him
word he was wanted" said Mr.. Root {;
you take my advice and don't LET
your legs and arms reach out so far;
you are sure to tickle one of that
Earthworm family and you see what
