By HOWARD GARIS

The rabbit gentleman put his bag OF
apples on the ground and then. very
slowly and carefully. he peeke

off now. and he could see very plainly.
And there. not far away, Uncle Wig

frozen ground. holding his nose up in
tie air, and crying
"Oh, deari Oh, dear, How it hurtsi
Oh. Will no one come to help me2"
Yes, Of course, III help youl" said
Uncle Wiggily. for he saw it was the

That's just the trouble" said the
fox. I can't get away, I am caught

"Ha, That's too bad" cried the rab-
