can't plIy st being ladies and having lea
 i'carlle liked the Idea of tea, and said 'oh, yes. IN be Mrs. Turte and you be Mrs. Lizard. Let's get the dollies and gO.
 once alone In the playroOm Chubby got his drum and began to make the very walls echo. PigwiGs thought: 'Now's my chance to show my mettle." So be up and kicks the drum from Chubby's hands. thrusting the sharp end of rocker clean through the drum head. bursting it to pieces Chubby stood aghast. What. you Pigwigs. to dare-tO DARE spoil my drum" And he got his candy cane and began to strike Pigwigs across the nose with 1t. But Pigwigs, now fully reused to the fighting point. grasped the cane In bis teeth and chewed 1t all up. and Chubby stood dazed and breathless. watching him. Then. seeing that his beautiful cane was gone, he began to cry. and grew very angry with Pigwigs. "Oh. you bad. naughty horsei" he cried. 'I'Il swap you of. I will" Then he got his gun. threatening to shoot him. tof course. Chubby knew the gun would not shoot, but be just wanted 10 frighten poor old Plgwigs)
 But the minute Chubby got the gun Pigwigs lifted his hind feet and sent it against the ceiling. and 1t fell to the floor broken Into several pieces. Now Chubby was both enraged and shocked over his PIgwiys conduct. He ran and called Blinkie and Pearlie. crying excit- edly: Come here quick an see what thls bad. wicked Pigwigs has done.'
 When Bllnkie and Pearlie viewed the havoc wrought by Pigwigs Bllnkie said: Well. you was wantin' Pigwlgs to be fractious. A little while ago you said he was all right for guris. but too, quiet for BOYS. l guess be thought he'd show you what he could do. he dii. An I don, blame him. Are you goln' to swap him of to Ned for his sled:'
 Chubby stood silent a moment; then said: Well. sister, l really do bl,eve dear old Pigwiss understood what l said awhile ago. IF that's why he acted so uaughtliy I'll forgive him. Hes very wise horsey. But do feel awfglly sorry bout my drum. uy candy ca6 and my gun. He sure did break an cat 'em all up"
 Well. it's all your fault" said Bllnkie, showing little sympathy for her wilful and fckle-hearted utt.e brother. If you treat Pigwigs right he'll be a good horsey, he will" Then she and Pearlie ran down stairs to their dollies and their tea, leaving Chubby to think it over.
 And Chubby did think It over. too. And pretty soon be mounted old Pigwigs. lift ing the bridle and saying: Now for q ride to Banbury Cross, old Pigwigs l guess you're ine horsey. for all l had got It into my head that you had DO life in you. But. don't you throw me into the river. Plgwigs. for I'd get drowned. may be. And I'll keep you for my own. too, old Piswigs. I wouldn't trade you to Ned for fifty sleds. And l don't care bout the drum-it was too loud; and I don't care bout the candy cane, for 1t wasn't lastln'; and don't care bout the gun. for 1t wouldn't shoot. 'cept make-belieye. So, you're my bestest friend In the play room Gee-upr
 And the way Pfgwigs did trot was wonder. He got to Banbury Cross and back in time for luncheon. and when Chubby got off his back he patted his neck. saying: You're the finest trotter in the country. An you're my sure 'nough favorite."
 And Pigwtgs had enjoyed his little re- venge, at the same time winning back his masters affection.
