know how to make one kind" the
bunny uncle said to himself. but may
I be Grandpa Goosey would not like the
kind I make"
I So Uncle Wiggily read how to make
many kinds of carrot tarts. In all of
/ them you had to chop up the yellow
carrots into little chunks, mix them
Win Jam and sugar. put them in be-
tween the upper and lower crusts of
the tart pie crust and then eat them.
This last was the best part Of all.
Ha. rms Is the sort of tart I shall
maze, uncle W1ggily said TO himself
as he read in the cook book about n
KIND that had something like lace cur
tain trimmings around the corners. and
4 pink thtng-a-ma- hobs in the middle
me next afternoon. when Nurse Jane
hopped TO the three and four cent store
70 buy phon0graph to play the wax
doll TO sleep, Uncle Wiggily went out
TO the kitchen He hardly ever dared
go when Nurse Jane was home for she
did not like any one fussing among her
pots and pans
But. now, while she is away. shall
have plenty Of time to make the carrot
tarts- Uncle Wiggily said He knew a
little bit about cooking. hut not much
ne could boil water and wash potatoes
without getting soap in their eyes but
that was about all he could do.
SO the bunny uncle chopped some
yellow carrots into small pieces put
some flour. sugar water. lard. pepper.
SAT- vinegar, mustard. cloves ard apple
sauce in bowl and began to stir It
This will make the pie crust out .1f
which / VIII cut the tops and bottoms
for the tarts." he said. In between
them I will put the carrot jam"
But Just as Uncle WigEily was going
70 stir together all the funny stuff he
had in the bowl some one called out t.
80, oh. Uncle .w1iggily. Please come out
''Ha, That is some one in trouble
exclaimed the bunny uncle. running out
Of the kitchen Of his hollow stump
bungalow 7 must help them
He saw Susie Littletail. the rabbit
girl. who was trying to skate. hut she
could not because her shoelace came
united all the while. and fripDed her.
I'll fix It for YOU said the bunny
uncle and he tied the lace in knot
that would not easily loosen.
But while Uncle Wisgily was outside
doing this. Nurse Jane came back from
the one and two cent store. where she
had gone to get a diamond coal shovel |
The muskrat LADY saw what Uncle
WiE.sily had started to bake in the
kitchen.
Mercy me. goodness sakes alive and /
some peanut pancakes she cried. He !
is trying to make carrot tarts. but he'll /
never do it with all that stuff in the |
bowl Never
So she threw out the sugar. salt.
lemon. mustard. vinegar. olive oil and 1
other things Uncle Wigsily had started /
Jane put IN the right things-flour. /
water. nutmeg and cocoanut-you 4
knOw-whateve- belongs in pastry.
I'll make the carrot tarts FOR Uncle i
him. thought the muskrat lady. and 4
she did.
When the rabbit gentleman had fin /
ished tying the shoe lace of Susie Lit
tletail the little rabbit girl asked him
to come skating with her. and the
bunny gentleman. forgetting all about |
making his carrot tarts. went along
He skated on and on over the frozen
lakes and ponds Of animal land. and /
ne and Susie had 2 fine time together
And now I must go back and tell YOU
about the carrot tarts and the turkey
and the cranberries that We're staying
IN the hollow stump bungalow over
Thanks giving.
After Nurse Jane made the tarts she
set them on the windowsin to cool and
she went out front to sweep away the
dried leaves And while she was there !
into the bungalow came a bad old !
tramp dog sneaking around by the !!
back door.
yrowled the bad dog. He was Just GO
ny 10 eat those which Nurse Jane had
baked for Uncle Wiggilv and GRANDPA
ioosey,. when suddenly the turkey COB
ller, whom the bunny uncle had saved
from the butcher, saw the unpleasant
barking creature
You must not take those carrot
arts! goobled the turkey. fluffing out
ais wings. big like.
Pooh, I'm not afraid Of YOU"
parked the dog.
You're not. Ell? Well. maybe you're
afraid of these red bulletsf" cried the
turkey, and with that he began u (
hrOw the red cranberries at the bow
VOW chap.
The Thanksgiving cranberries which !
he turkey threw hit the dog all over !
on his nose. ears and tail-and scared
lin so that soon he was glad enough !
% run away without taking a single
,arrJt jam tart
Thank you for saving the tarts FOR
Jncle Wiggily," said Nurse Jane when !
he came in and saw what had hap
lened.
TT was a pleasure TO me said the
When Uncle Wiggily came back from ] ]
kating with Susie and saw the carrot
arts ne was very much surprised.
7 guess I would have made them
wrong. anyway" he said when the COB
ling turkey and also Nurse Jane had / 5
old him what had happened.
I think so myself" said Grandpa
Ter and heard the story. 1T is better {
Is il is"
So that's what they all said. and If

tanding in the snow that it cannot
make a nice bow to the stick Of pep
