Uncle Wiggily on FlappyS Back.

At the edge Of the duck pond wait
for me-"
With the black stick which was like
a lead pencil the sea dog wrote that
message on the white sugar cookie.
Then the next day he scaled it through
the air and the sugar cookie fell in
the front yard of Uncle Wiggily's sea-
shore cottage.
Uncle Wiggily was asleep on the
porch, but the falling of the sugar
cookie awakened him. He picked it
up read the message and smiled
"Ha, That must be some little joke
Sammie Littletail, the rabbit or John
ME or Billie Bushytail, the squirrel
boys, are trying to play on me, ."
thought the rabbit gentleman. "Well,
they haven't much time for fun left,
before school begins, so I'll just go
down TO the edge Of the duck pond
and see what happens"
Then Uncle Wiggily ate the sugar
cookie and down to the pond he went.
Now, Of course the rabbit gentleman
did not know that during the night the
bad sealion had flopped himself up
out of the ocean, and was hiding under
water in the duck pond. But the bad
sea dog knew it.
And the bad sea dog hid himself in
e thick bush, at the edge of the duck
pond, which was not far from the
ocean
Here I'll wait" said the sea dog to
himself, until UNCLE Wiggily comes
down. Then I'll sneak up behind him.
push bin into the pond, and my friend
the sealion, can get him. That will be
the end of Uncle Wiggily,"
Pretty soon the rabbit gentleman

Of the duck pond. He was thinking
Of the funny little verse he had read
on the sugar cookie. And Of course
Uncle Wiggily thought that some Of
his little animal friends just wanted to
give him pleasant surprise.
"Well, | don't see any of them
here" spoke the rabbit gentleman. as
he stood on the edge of the pond,
looking over it, 81 see a big white
stone out near the middle, but that
isn't anyone | know. | also see some
water moving near the white stone
hut | guess that's just fish"
But what Uncle Wiggily thought
was a big white stone wasn't such a
thing at all. And what he thought
was water moving near it, was the
bad old sealion under the waves comb
ing out his whiskers while he waited
for the bad sea dog to push Uncle
Wiggily into the pond. For the sea-
hon had his head under water you see.
"Now's my time!' said the sea dog
TO himself, as he crawled out Of the
bush toward the rabbit gentleman,
and got ready to shove him into the
pond. "Ill just give him a good push
and he'll land near that white stone.
That's whore the sealion said he'd be
hiding and waiting. Here ! GO"
Closer and closer to Uncle Wiggily
crept the sea dog. Uncle Wiggily never
heard him, for the rabbit gentleman
was looking anxiously all around for

Down on the beach, by the ocean
sands, the bad old sea dog and the
snappy sealion were talking together
one day.
We'll" said the sealion, there are
only a few more days left in which
can try to catch that Uncle Wiggily
Longedrs rabbit. | wonder if I'll ever
get him?"
Yes, l think you WILL" spoke the
sea dog in his grillery- -growlery voice.
Il have thought of a new way, so l
can help you catch him"
"Tell me how" barked the sealion,
hitching himself over in the sand by
bis whskers, so he could hear better
what the sea dog was saying. How
can | get that rabbit?'
"Ill tell YOU" said the sea dog.
"You go hide yourself in the duck
pond. After dark tonight, when no
one sees you, come up out of the
ocean, crawl over the boardwalk and
hide in the duck pond, where the
swan boys, Flappy and Flippy Long
neck, and the Wibblewoble children
swim about"
But what good will that do me to
hide in the duck pond?' asked the
sealion, in cold and shivery voice.
"TlI tell you" said the sea dog.
"You stay there, with your head
under water, until you hear Uncle
Wiggily splash in, and then you can
grab him before he has a chance to
swim out or before any one saves
him"
but how is he going to splash in?"
the sCalion wanted to know
"Ill make him splash in. That's part
of the trick with which l am going to
fool him." said the sea dog You
know if we don't get him in the next
few days yOull never catch him, as
his vacation will soon be over and he
will go back to his hollow stump
bungalow. All his little animal
friends are going back to the hollow
stump school. and Uncle Wiggily will
go with them
Eyes. we must get him soon now"
agreed the sealion. But how are you
going to make him splash into the
pond so | can grab him."
'Iisten-hist! Whisper" said the
sea dog. I'm going to come up be-
hind him and push him in You be
hiding in the duck pond, with your
head under water so no one can see
you, at this time tomorrow and you'll
soon have Uncle Wiggily Longears."
''All right, I'll do it," spoke the bad
sealion.
Then the sea dog sat him down to
play the trick. He took a white sugar
cookie, and, with black stick from a
fire where Sammie and Susie Little
tail, the rabbit children, had roasted
marshmallow candles the night before,
the sea dog wrote this message to
Uncle Wiggily:
"lf something strange you wish to
see,

friends, one Of whom, he thought, had
sent him the funny little verse on the
sugar cookie.
''lla, There you go. This is the last
If you, Now my friend the sealion
will get you' barked the bad dog, and
he gave Uncle Wiggily hard push
into the water, tossing him over to-
ward the whoitc stone,
"Splash,' went the rabbit gentle
man in the pond. Up bobbed the sea-
lion.
Nov I've got you at last" he cried.
But had he? Well guess not. All
of sudden the big white stone
seemed to come to life. A big, long
neck was lifted out of the water. Two
big wings were spread out and there
was broad white feathery back to be
seen.
And it wasn't a stone at all! 1t was
