Uncle Wiggly, sort Of tying his ears
in soft knot Mamie Wagtail here

at home, or that her brother Billie
is in trouble, or that Uncle Butter,
The nice old goat gentleman, is i'll 2"
"Oh, no, nothing like that" said
Nurse Jane with a laugh. Mamie
just called to see if you would not go
for a walk with her. She Just loves
to go walking with you.'
"And l like to walk with Mamie"
said Uncle Wiggily. Is she coming
paCk?"
"Oh, yes; when I told her you were
cut she said she would go down to
the five-and -ten-cent-store. to buy a
roller skate lOllypop and come back"
"A roller skate lollypop. What kind
is that" Uncle Wiggily wanted to
know.
"Oh, that's the kind with a soft
marshmallow stick in, instead Of a
wooden one, so If you fall down when
you're eating it, as you roller skate,
you won't he hurt" said Nurse Jane.
That's a roller skate lollypop"

children will be back from their va

"Oh, Uncle Wiggily!" she called in
her nice bleating voice will you
come for a walk with me?"
Uncle Wiggily. where shall we go?"
"Oh, down on the ocean sands,
where we can get a cool breeze from

Nannie's horns sticking up, almost
like Uncle Wiggilys ears, 50 that any
one walking behind them might think
there were two rabbits on the sand in

goat girl
And that is just what the bad old
sealion thought, as he reared himself
up out of the salty ocean waves, and

"Ah, ha" grunted the sea lion to
himself as he chewed on a bunch OF
seaweed. Two rabbits That will
just do nicely for me. / thought there
was only one-that one they call
Uncle Wiggily-but now | see two, and
