tiny light in the back. It was still ex-

where inside.
There are nights when the air IS
full OF foreboding-just the sort OF
night when spirits are won't 10 roam
abroad and when evil things are
done
such a night was this.
While inside the house. room after
room was dark and ghostly and silent
save for the aforesaid chink-chop-

IL was very aWesome-
In the room where a light burned
dimly. a rag carpet on the floor was
spattered with dark, red stains, while
the wall paper was badly splashed
with the same gruesoue stains, hard
ly dry, proving that the deed had been
done but a short time before
Suddenly, the door Of the room
opened cautiously and a young girl,
evidently terror stricken stole into
the room

What are you going TO do asked

and let 10 down in the chimney hole.
You see the hole Is so small, on &C

II WON'T promised Uncle Wiggily.
And then. being up on top OF the
bungalow roof. he began 10 clean the
SCOT out Of the chimney.
Now a little while before this a bad
old weasel who is the slyest and
sneakiest OF all the animals In Wood
land. had seen Uncle Wiggily getting
out on the roof. But why the bunny
was doing this the weasel didn't
know.
However. now is a good time for
the fox. or the Skeezicks or the skill

Wiggily and he'll roll down and they
So the weasel. not being big or
brave enough TO catch Uncle WiEgily
himself. went off 70 find one Of the

Then" went on the weasel. hes

and he'll be so scared that he'll roll

I'll do itr said the bad fox Under
Uncle Wiggily's roof he sneaked- He
could hear the bunny up there, but
didn't know what he was doing.
sBoor' suddenly hollered the fox
"Oh. my goodness me sakes alive

Uncle wisely giving jump;
What's that27 He almost slid off
he grabbed the chimney Just In time
OFF flew his tail silk hat Down rolled
his old crutch with a busting brush
tied fast 70 i. and worst Of all. down
fell 2 big pail OF SCOT he had
cleaned out OF the chimney.
Right on the fox fell all these
things. and the brush tickled him, the
old silk hat struck him on his soft
and tender nose. and the black SCOT
got in his eyes and mouth and the
fox cried
