And so she let them go off for with a bushy tail, who happened to be near a place In the woods where him. In a few moments they came he saw a HtTi'?girl was crying. "My name la Mahalia," said the little girl, "and I've lost my oh, oh, oh, I've lost my " and then she sobbed and sobbed and couldn't say another word. Pretty soon one of them said : "Let's ask our old friend, Mr. Giant, to suggest some way of stopping Mahalia from crying." "Oh," said Mahalia between her sobs, "he may eat me up and stop But I've my crying that way. and then she burst out crying again. "Dear me, no," said the squirrel, who had suggested the giant. "lie Is the kindest giant you can imagine." Ail the other squirrels who had come around, too, to see what was the trouble, said: "Bushy Squirrel Is perfectly right What he says Is so. The Followed by an Enormous Giant Giant Is very kind." "Yes," continued the first squirhopping and jumping along folrel who had spoken to her, or lowed by an enormous giant, Bushy Squirrel, as he was called, Some of the little squirrels were "he is our best friend.

And he looked all around, and down behind a fern was the missing basket with the 6trnwberries. Then the Giant and all the squirrels set to work and gathered many wild strawberries so that Mahalia's basket was filled when she left them. She loved wild strawberries almost better than any fruit and she was very happy about having such a lot of them. The Giant was happy because he had proved to one more little girl that a giant could be a dear, friendly soul, and the squirrels were happy that they had been the ones to bring all this nbout.

Rodin's Famous Statue Rodin's statue, the "Thinker," was exhibited at tha Georges Petit gallery in 1889. It was one of 38 pieces of sculpture placed on view. It was designed to be placed over the Porte de l'Enfer. The idea of fashioning was largely due to Rodin's visit to Italy in 1875. The sculptor was commissioned by M. Turfjuet, who told Rodin that he wished to have a door for the proposed palace of decorative arts. The "Thinker" is part of Rodin's "Magnum Ous." At the salon of 1904 the figure was on exhibition. was planned to be placed on the upper crossbeam of the gat of hell, where the "Thinker' could look down on the scenes of human passion and woo extended below him. By public subscription the statue was ultimately purchased and presented to the city of Paris.
