Il See murmured Nurse Jane, Then
she and Uncle Wiggily watched the
humble bug Jimmy around the room
again, banging into the side. walls and
the ceiling, the picture holding, the
curtain rods-everything, in fact.
And II didn't seem to hurt the bum
BILE bug at all. AS fast as he bumped
into anything he bounced back like a
rubber ball. He banged into the player
piano, and bounced from that to the
photograph. Then he hit the ceiling
and ron that he jounced to the floor,
Up he sprang, like a jumping jack,
and away he 1aomed over to the corner
where the piano lamp was talking to
the rubber plant, and of course the
humble bug easily bounced off the rub
Der plant.
We'll, that's a queer way of learning
things-to have them knocked into
YOU laughed Uncle Wiggily, But l
suppose it's all right"
Nurse Jane was Just going out in the
Kitchen to bring In some potato-carrot
aake for the humble bug n Uncle
lFiggily to nibble at, when, all of a sud
den, the door Of the hollow stump un-
gtlow opened and in bounced the bad
old fox.

the fox, as he saw Uncle Wiggily. Il
haven't seen you in some time. How
are you and how's your souse?'
We'll, | am no better for seeing you"
sadly said Uncle Wiggily, land as for
my souse-'
"Yes, as for YOU souse, I'll see that l
get all l want.' most impolitely inter-
rupted the fox. II haven't had any
.souse in so long l almost forgot how it
tastes"
Excuse met" buzzed the humble bug,
zooming down from the ceiling and hit
ting the fox on the nose.
Don't do that" howled the fox.
Didn't mean to, I'm sure, old dear"
politely said the bug. MY mistake,
assure you!" Then he bunked into the
left eye of the fox. '
Keep out! Keep out!' barked the
fox.
my error again, old top!" laughed
the bug. Wrong eye, I'm sure!' And
zip" into the other he banged with
his feather-coyered head.
"Oh, VOW cried the fox, as he was
banged on his eyes, his nose, his ears
and toes by the humble bug. There
here! This is no place for mel and
away he ran, not taking any Of Uncle
Wiggily's souse.
So this teaches lis that humble bugs
are of some use in this world after all,
And Mr.. Longears and the queer, zoom-
ing chap had a good time eating cheese

wheel off the roller skate to go riding
