Children's Evening Story

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE CRAB.
Don't you ever get tired of walking
along the beach," asked the ship
wrecked mouse of Uncle Wiggily Long
ears one morning, as the old gentleman
rabbit was getting ready to start out
from the seaside hollow stump hotel,
for an other walk after breakfast.
"No, l always like to watch the
waves said Uncle Wiggily, and, be-
sides, something new always seems to
happen to me. Even though the bad
sea lion does bother me, still think
of the fun l had with the sea urchins,
and then, later, the fiat founder gave
me nice sled ride. am going to walk
along there again, and perhaps he will
f1ip-fop out of the ocean once more,
and give me another ride. Don't you
want to come with me-"
Thank you, no." answered the
mouse. II have very hard gnawing
lesson to practise this morning. l
have to gnaw hole through hard,
knotty piece Of wood
So Uncle Wiggily walked off by him.
self and soon he had hoped over the
boardwalk, where all the rolling chairs
were being wheeled along with animal
people in them, and then the rabbit
gentleman found himself down on the
sands.
He walked along by the sea think
ing of many things, and how he would
soon be home to see Neddie and Beckie
Stubtail, the bears, or some of his 9TH
err animal children friends and he was
feeling a bit lonesome, not to have
Grandfather Goosey Gander there to
play checkers with, when, all of sud-
den, he heard sad voice crying:
ooh, it's broken! Now I can't make
music any more. Oh, what shall do?"
Now I had better be careful"
thought Uncle Wiggily. "This may be
only trick to catch me. 1t may be
the bad sea lion, or the mermaid. pre-
tending to be poor clam or an oyster.
must be careful, very careful"
So he looked all around and then he
heard the voice again, saying:
"Oh, dear, just wish Uncle Wiggily
would come along, for, though l don't
know him, I'm sure he'd help me-
"Ha! That's it. They all want Uncle
Wiggily," exclaimed the old gentleman
rabbit blinking his ears and making his
nose twinkle. "Well, they shan't catch
me this time"
He was Just going to run away when
he saw a poor fiddler crab sitting on
the sand, looking very sad and lonely,
and as he knew the fiddler crab would
not hurt him, Uncle Wiggily went
right up to the sorrowful creature and
asked:
What is the matter? Why are you
so sad, Mr.. Crab?'
Because am the fiddler crab" was
the answer. II was to fiddle at a fish
ball party the sea urchins are to have
tonight. but my fiddle Is broken and
can't play. Oh. it's terrible, most ter
rible. Can't you help me? have heard
about how kind you are to every one"
