Bedtime Story For the Little Ones
UNCLE WIGGILY AND FATHER WILLIAM.
~ HOWARD n. GARIs

II you had happened TO walk
through the woods when Uncle Wig
gily and Father William, who had a
little holiday from the Alice book.
were standing on their heads, surely
you would have laughed
And. now that I have learned a
new trick. ! must go look for an ac-
venture" said the bunny.
I'll 90 with you" spoke Father
William. Together they went along
through the woods, and over the
fields, and, all Of sudden, from be-
hind a currant jam bush, out jumped
a bad. old. double-jointed skillery
scalery alligator.
"Ah. har' cried the alligator. AT
last 1 have caught some one to whom
I can do it, All, ha!'
aDo what2' asked Uncle Wiggily,
while Father William looked around
for a place to hide What are you
going to do"
Tickle your feetl" was the surpris-
ing answer. 4 am the ticklish ALI
gator, ana feet I must tickle. Get
ready now, here I GOMEZ"
"Oh, dear" cried Father William.
Il never can bear TO have my feet
tickled- For, when that happens I
laugh and then 1 sneeze and then
catch cold and have 10 go to bed. oh,
Hush" whispered Uncle Wiggily,
as the gator was hopping toward
them. You won't have to suffer that,
Quicki Stand on your head as you
taught me to, and hold your feet up
in the air."
And in the twinkle OF a spiced pear
Uncle Wiggily and Father William
were standing on their. heads. The
surprised alligator saw them, and
after trying TO reach their feet with
his claws, which he couldn't do, as
they were up in the air. he cried:
"Ah, hai Thought you'd fool me,
didn't you, by standing on your
headsl Well, I'll tickle your feet after
all I'll climb q tree and reach down
to themi''
"Oh deari He'll make me catch cold
after air. sighed Father William.
NO, he won't" said Uncle Wiggily.
THE alligator is very good at climb
ing up trees. but 1t takes him ever so
long to climb down. As soon as he
climbs up we'll stop standing on our
heads and run away"
And that's exactly what the bunny
and Father William did As soon as
