he was telling me an amusing story
the other day" laughed uncle, as
they rode along, about a young
bride who went to the butcher shop

- upon her to allow him to send one
t home to her. So she 'phoned hub
by that he was going to have some
, nice rabbit pie for supper, and to
z be sure and come home early When
e. hubby came home at p. m. he
j found his wife in the kitchen with

c missing from its hind quarters. She
t was sobbing as though her heart
n would break
