Taking his red. white and blue
striped crutch with him, IN case his
bunny chap started off down the ocean
Beach board walk. He had not gone
very far before he saw q bright red
parasol, and from under il seemed TO
come q sad, crying voice.
Oh dear Boo hoo, What shall I

Ny goodness 4 red parasol IN

ones Only its very queerl"
50 the rabbit gentleman walked a,
little closer, all the while hearing the
parasol crying harder than ever. until
All OF 3 sudden, as he was very near
II the bunny uncle saw that IL was
some one under the parasol, and not
the red sun shade itself that was doing
the boo-hooing.
And under it was Gizzie. the little
duck baby girl. She was crying 50
hard that the tears were rolling down
each side Of her yellow bill al once.
W nat Is the matter. Gizzie?' asked
Uncle Higgtly. finally. as he saw thar
The little duck girl was sitting in her
carriage with the red parasoI over her

Lulu my sister, brought me out here
while she went IN the ocean to swim

only taken half Of it And when 1

cried Uncle Wiggilv. You don't mean
that a bad dog fish or sea lion came
up out OF the water and carried her
off; do your

exclaimed Gizzie- I want 10 very
III go hunt for It for YOU prom
tsed the old gentleman rabbit. That
viii be adventure for me"
So he looked on the beach all around
where Gizzie's carriage had been
wheeled down off the boardwalk. and
when the bunny uncle saw some queer
paw marks in the wet sand he smiled
and said:
All. ali. 7 believe know who took
Gizzie's bottle Of milk
Then he went on little farther and
every once in a while Uncle Wiggi!y
would stop and listen. Pretty soon he
heard a noise farther up the board
walk
'-Ah, ha," he cried to himself. There
IS where I shall find it." On he hurried,
and pretty soon he came TO where
hand organ man was playing music
Good morning." called Uncle Wig
sily 10 the organ man. Where is your

Monkey. he very much a-sick.- said
the hand organ man, not speaking Just
