BLTtGESS Temptation that Is put behind Is soon temptation out of mind. Old Mother Nature. Chatterer the Bed Squirrel sat on the edge of a great hollow, rotted old utump In the Green Forest not far from the Laughing Brook and stared. He wasn't quite sure that he believed his own eyes. No, sir, he wasn't quite sure.

Anyway, he wasn't sure until he had blinked several times. But after each blink he saw just what he had seen when he first looked Into that hollow-two eggs. Not only were they sure enough eggs, but they were the biggest eggs he had seen since long ago, when he had just for a minute peeked into the nest of Retail the Hawk. Having made sure that his eyes were not fooling him Chatterer was suddenly overcome with fright. He didn't stop for so much ay a hasty look around.

He simply jumped to the ground, raced to the nearest big tree and climbed part way up, taking care to keep the trunk between him and that old stump. He paused to cautiously peep around. He saw no one. He heard no one. He could look down into the shallow hollow of that old stump.

He stared and stared, and as he stared he had the feeling that there was something not as it should be. Suddenly it came to him. "There isn't any nest!" he exclaimed under his breath.

"There isn't a stick or a straw or a feather. Somebody has simply left those eggs there. Perhaps they were not wanted. Nobody would leave a couple of eggs on an old stump like places where people live. (For Nature section of your scrapbook.)

"Better find out first whose eggs those arc," replied Caution. "There is no danger. No one is around to see you.

You'll never have a better chance," said the whisper LLJO the ground, the aardvark is most powerful. If in fear of some distant enemy, it will start digging a hole. In 10 or 15 minutes it may get down so deep as to be out of sight. For its size, tho mole may be as good a digger, but tho aardvark makes a quart of dirt fly out In about the same time a mole digs out one or two thimhlcfuls. There is reason for the aardvark to be able to dig.

Its food is made up of termites, or "white ants," and these insects arc to be found most thickly inside the large mounds which they make for their homes. An aardvark can get into a termlto mound in a hurry, and then can enjoy what, to its taste, is a feast. Other antcaters live in North America and Central America. The largest of them is the great ant-eater or "ant bear." It has the queerest kind of a head, long and thin. Much of the head, or lace Is made up of a snout.

It would harm no one if he climbed up on that old stump for another close view of those eggs. Just looking at them would not hurt them or the one who had left them there. Chatterer raced across to the old stump and climbed on it. (Copyright, 1911, by T. W.
