"Ha! Jump rope, eh?" exclaimed
Postum Pinktoes. II know the verJ

will make a fine rope"
That's just what was going to
say" called out Uncle WiggilJ.
Come with me, and I'll show YOU
where there are plenty of vines,'' weni
on the possum, SO they followed him,
and pretty soon they came to thu
place. Sammie and Uncle Wixxilly
cut long piece, and then they tool
hold OF each end and began to turn
the rope for Susie. At first she could
not do very we'll, even though there
was a nice, smooth grassy place to
learn on. Then out of a pond jumped
Bully, the frog, and, as he was one Of
the best Jumpers in the woods, or. for
that matter, on Orange mountain. he
showed Susie how to do it. 81
So she learned to jump Salt" which
is slow, and pepper" which ia fast.
and double pepper" which is very
fast indeed. Then she learned to jump
with two ropes. one going one way
and one the other. and finally she
could skip as well as any little rabbit
girl In the owls school, Uncle Wig
gily tried to jump, but he was SO stin
and his rheumatism hurt him so that
he couldn't do it.
Then they all started for home. and
what do you think happened? Some
thing quite serious do assure you,
and I'm not fooling A big hawk. not
the kind, good flsh-hawk. but another

his nest. Now Uncle Wiggily was 50
old he couldn't do much, but Sammie
was not going to see his little sister
harmed. so what did he do but jump
at that hawk with his sharp little feet,
and kick him until the bad bird let go
OF poor Susie. She was quite fright
ened, but not hurt much, and maybe
she didn't hug and kiss Sammie for
saving her. Then they all hurried
home to the burrow, and if there is
nothing to prevent it, tomorrow nights
story will be about Sammie turning
sky-blue-pink.
