What makes il so darko" asked IN
Gle Wiggily- I can't see out the win
dOws at all"
And no wonder" answered Miss
Fuzzy WuZZy. There is so much snow
that il has drifted right up over the
glass windows, covering them up TO the
top In front Of the door Of the bunga-
low. too, is a pile of snow so big that
we can't get through it."
My, what big deep snow this is
cried the rabbit gentleman. '.I never
saw so much Well, We age nice and
comfortable in here. Nurse Jane"
Indeed We are" said the muskrat
lady thankfully. Our cellar is filled
with carrots and turnips."
So she and the rabbit gentleman sat
by the fire, eating and talking. and it
stlll showed outside For two days il
showed, and the snow was so deep it
was twice over Uncle Wiggily's big
ears, to say nothing Of being over his
head But he did not mind that until
Nurse Jane became i'll
perhaps II was from eating too many
carrots, or not enough of turnips.
can't be sure about that Anyhow,
Nurse Jane was taken suddenly i'll
on. please send fOE Dr. Postum"
cried the muskrat lady. He will cure
me- Please get DR.. POssum. Wiggy.r
4 would. If I could" said Mr.. Long
ears But how can I get out Of the
hollow stump bungalow. when the deep
snow is piled over the doors and win
dows: I don't see how il can be done,
but 1 viii try"
The rabbit gentleman tried to get out
of the front door, but when he opened
il he saw a solid wall of snow before
him II was the same at the back door.
And when Uncle WlEgily opened first
one window and then another, hoping
he could get out Of one. the snow was
piled against them. too
III go up in the attic and try the
little window there" thought the rab-
bit gentleman. "Perhaps the snow is
not quite that high"
Up TO the attic window OF his hollow
stump bungalow Uncle Wiggily went.
To his delight he found the snow was
only half way up, and he could see out
a bit But all down below, and around,
was deep snow
But 1 never could get out in this
snow, If / craWled from this window"
thought Uncle Wiggily. 81 would sink
away down in the deep drifts and I'd be
lost Then I'd never see Nurse Jane
again. or any Of my friends. and
couldn't get Dr. Possum. oh what shall
/ do2 ! guess I'd better call for help"
So the rabbit gentleman leaned out
Of the window, above the snow drifts.
and cried;
"Oh, help Helpi Nurse Jane and I are
showed in, and she wants Dr. Possum.
How can I get out to get him. Please,
some one. help me-
III help you," said n voice. that
seemed to come from away down the
who are yOu2" asked Uncle Wiggily,
curious like.
Your friend. the good skiuery-scaI-
cry alligator, who used TO be bad" was
the answer. with my rough nutmeg
crater tail, which is double iointed. and
mas humps on il, III saw path through
the snow drifts for you, Uncle Wig
gily- Wait a minute"
Then the good alligator. who used to
be bad, thrashed around with his rough
tail in the snow. He sawed out big
blocks Of snow and. on the end Of his
tail. tossed them over the tree tops
until he had cleared a nice path in
front of Uncle Wiggily's front door
Then the rabbit gentleman. who
could now easily get out. thanked the
alligator and went for DIT. Possum,
who soon cured Nurse Jane And SO
you see it is q good thing an alli-
gator has tail like an ice saw and
a snow shovel made into one. And il
the rag doll doesn't slide down the
ironing board. and fall into the pail of
starch with the collars and cuffs, I'll
tell YOU next about Uncle Wiggily and
the snow birds.-CopyriEh 1915, by
