By HOWARD B. GARIS.

z Uncle WIGGILY LONGEARS the
rabbit gentleman, was out in the
yard behind his hollow stump
bungalow, blowing hot air into the hol-
low German Bologna sausage tires OF
his automobile with a putty blower be-
longing to Bully No-Tail, the frong boy
Are you going for a rider asked
Jimmie Caw-Caw. the crow boy, as he
stood with his head on one side, watch
ing the rabbit gentleman.
Yes" uncle Wiggily answered. Il am
going TO take a title ride But what
are you doing. Jimmie2 Have you been
hiding something again.
oh, it's only spoon" said the crow
boy, who. as you know, always seemed
TO be hiding away bright and shining
objects. It's only a spoon caught up
from the kitchen table"
Just then Nurse Jane Fuzzy W uzzy,
the muskrat lady hOusekeper, came to
the door Of the hollow stump bungalow.
Ny cake spOOni The spoon that I
was using to stir up the chocolate cab
bage cakel" cried the muskrat lady.
1T is gOnei Have you seen it. Uncle
Wiggily2' she asked anNous-like.
Uncle Wiggily looked at Jimmie, the
crow Now, whatever else Jimmie did
he never told a story
Il took the cake spooni" he con-
fessed- IL hid it in Uncle Wiggiy's
airshipr'
Bring It back right away, please, %
said Nurse Jane. And don't hide any
more Of my things, Jimmie. Oh, dear,
/ don't know what to do about you!"
I'll take him for a ride in my auto
mobile" said Uncle Wiggily- That
will keep him out Of mischief for a
timer
aOh. joyr I'm going for an auto
ridet I'm going for an auto rider cried
Jimmie "Oh. joyi On, happiness"
But you must be good" insisted the
rabbit gentleman as he sprlnkleQ
little salt ana hOrseradish on the Ger
man bologna sausage tires to make
the wheels go round very fast on
mustn't pick holes in the turnip steer
ing wheel Of my auto, Jimmie, nor fly
away with the doodle-oodle-um, or you
can't go"
III be good, promised Jimmie. But
you just watch and see what ne does.
Uncle Wiggily finished blowing not
air through the hollow macaroni stick
into the sausage tires. and then he
started off, with Jimmie Caw-Caw
perched on the seat beside him.
Don't forget TO bring me some sticky
flypaper," Nurse Jane called after the
rabbit gentleman, and also a bottle
Of maple strip. for your cheese cake"
"Oh, I'll be sure to remember the ma
pie strip" Uncle Wiggily said
And the sticky flypaper1 no. Nurse
Jane spoke
That will surely stick to my memo
~" the rabbit gentleman laughed
On and on, over the fields and
through the woods rode Uncle Wiggily
and the black crow boy. And Jimmie
was very goOd-at least for a time
Uncle Wiggily paid a little visit to
Grandfather GOOsey Gander, the goose
gentleman, and all Jimmie did was to
hide srandpa's spectacles in the milk
pitcher. and drop some prickiy chest
nut burrs in Mrs. GOOsey's bed But
that was nothing to the tricks that
crow boy sometimes played; not mean
ing 70 be bad, either. He just couldn't
help it
Finally Uncle Wiggily reached the
store, and bought the sheet Of sticky
fly paper. and the bottle Of maple 81
rup, which had a cork in, so the sweet
stuff. for cheese cakes, would not spill
out
Now for a nice run homer Uncle
Wiggily exclaimed. as he tickled the
tinker-um tankeram Of his auto and
sprinkled talcum powder on the ker-
sneeze-i-kiff TO make il jump over the
billy places more easily.
Have I been a good crow boy this
trip2" asked Jimmie, when they were
nearly home.
