ready, shaving the back Of his neck for
him, where he couldn't himself reach
with his razor. And she tied his tie for
him, and saw that he was all scrump-
tious like, and proper,
Finally the rabbit gentleman set off
for the palace of the King. He was
about halfway there when he heard
some little squeaking voices down be-
side the woodland path, and there he
saw Jollie and Jillie Longtail, the
mouse children, and their cousin
Squeal1ie-Eekie.
where are you going, Uncle Wig
gily?" asked Jollie, the boy mouse.
ITO Old King Coles to hear some
fiddle music" answered Uncle Wigs
gily.
ooh. do please take US with you"
begged Jillie. we just love fiddle
any"
'Why?" asked the bunny uncle.
Because explained Squekie-
Eekie, the little cousin mouse. You
know what il says in Mother Goose:
Hi-Diddle-Diddle. The cats in the
fiddle Now we couldn't go to hear
music when cat was in the fiddle,
could WEE"
"Of course not" answered Uncle
Wiggily. Il never thought of that.
Cats and mice don't go well together.
But how can / take you to King Cole?
He may not like mice"
Put US in your pockets" said Jille-
Eve are not very big and we can easily
hide when you go in the palace. No
one will see us in your pockets"
Well, Uncle Wiggily put them in
Jollie. Jillie and Squeakie- Eekie Long
tail. But the rabbit gentleman was
afraid lest the King might not like 1t.
However.
"GIad to see you, Uncle Wiggily"
cried Old King Cole. as the bunny uncle
came in the grand palace. Make
yourself right at home" and the King
clapped his hands. Then some one
sang:
"OId King Cole is a merry old soul,
merry old soul is he.
He called for his pipe,
He called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers three"
In came the fiddlers, playing tweedle-
dweedle-dee, making nice music, until
"snapi Snap! snap!" went something.
NY goodness me sakes alive and
some orange lemonade" cried Uncle
WiggiIy. what was thatT
aOur fiddle strings have broken"
cried one Of the fiddlers. Now we
can make no more music until we have
" aoh, dear" cried the King That's
too bad. I must have music from my
fiddlers three, or from some one or
Mother Goose won't like it. How can
I get squeaky fiddle music for Uncle
WfEEily2 How can Ig'
Just then Jollie Longtail poked his
head out from Uncle Wiggiy's pocket
eff you please, Old King Cole he
said. "JilIie, Squeakie- Fekie and will
make music for you if you like"
u do like" said the King Make
music. If you please"
SO the mice, who have very squeaky
voices, sang nice music, almost like
the fiddles, and Old King Cole was
rore merry soul than ever.
Pm glad you came. Uncle Wiggily.'
he said And I'm glad you brought
the Iongtail mice. Give them all
some cheeser And he laughed most
jolly-jiny like.
So the mice sang for the King until
the fiddlers' fiddles were fixed, and
every one had a good time and plenty
to eat And if the jam tart doesn't
get inside the huckleberry pie, where
the egg beaten can't find it, I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily and
