SBEDTINE' STORY \
UNCLE WIGGILY AND ALICE WTBBLEWOBBLE

he heard, from somewhere in the
woods, a voice saying.
oh, dear, Oh, dear, What a terrible
thing to have happen, Oh. I'm sure I
shall never see Lulu or Jimmie, or even
my dear Uncle Wiggily again! Oh,
what shah l do?"
"Ha Hum! Why. that must be some
one l know, or who knows met said
Uncle Wiggily softly. Il only hope II
isn't the Pipsisewah, the Skuddle-
magoon or the skillery- scalery alligator
with the double jointed tail. must be
very CAREFUL"
So Uncle Wiggily looked around, but
all he could see was a tin box on the
ground. 1t was the kind Of tin box
that fancy cakes come out Of at the
delicatessen store,
"Ha, There must be someone in that
tin box" thought Uncle Wiggily, 1T
isn't big enough to hold the Pipsisewah,
or any of the bad chaps who chase me.
IN find out who II is" Sc he asked;
is anyone in trouble in that tin boX?"
Yes, l ami" answered a sad little
And who are you?" Uncle wiggily
wanted to know.

But then as you are shut up in a tin

down-cellary like. But what happened
you?"
"Oh, 1 was going over to the house
Of Mrs. Longtail, the mouse lady, to
borrow some cornmeal," said Alice,
speaking from the box, when the bad
fox caught me, and shut me up here.
He damned the cover on so tight that l
can't get it open, andsI can't get out,
and the bad old fox will soon come
back to carry me away and
Hal! But when he does come back
you will not be here" said Uncle Wig
gily, jolly like.
why not?" asked Alice.
Because I'm going to cut a big hole
in that tin cracker box with the new
can opener l have Just bought laughed
Uncle Wiggily, land then you can
easily get out"
Quickly he cut a hole in the tin box,
as he could not raise the cover, and
out of the hole popped Alice, Then she
and Uncle Wiggily ran away before the
fox came back.
"Thank you for saving me, Uncle
Wiggily," auacked Alice.
ooh, don't thank me-, thank the can
opener" laughed the bunny. And he
gave Alice some of the pear pudding
which Nurse Jane made a little later.
And il the molasses jug doesn't feel so
stuck up that it won't speak to the
fly paper at the moving picture show
I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily

muskrat lady. Il have some nice tin
cans of pears down cellar. I'll bring
one of those ans up, open it, take out
the pears and make them into a pud-
ding. Then I'll sprinkle cranberry
sauce over t."
How fine that will be!' cried Uncle
Wiggily. And then he began getting
ready to take a hop out in the woods,
so he might be extra hungry for the
pear pudding. But, all of a sudden,
Nurse Jaue said;
oh, Uncle Wiggily! l forgot! I
can't give you the pudding with cram
berry sauce after all!'
Why not?" asked the bunny, appre-
hensive like.
Because / haven't any can opener
to cut the top off the tin can and get
out the pears" answered the muskrat
lady. 81 meant to get a can opener
when I was in the five and ten-cent
store yesterday, but l forgot It.. Now,

"Oh, yes, l cant" exclaimed Uncle
Wiggily. 'I'll 60 to the store for you
myself and get a new can opener. Then
I'll hop home, open the can, and you
can make the pudding"
Well, IL you'll get the can opener
everything else will be all right" spoke
Nurse Jane.
With his tall silk hat OF his head, to
keep his ears from freezing, for 1t was
not yet quite spring, and limping on his
red, white and blue striped rheumatism
crutch, which Nurse lane had gnawed
for him out of a cornstalk, Uncle Wig
gily began to hop toward the five and
t~en-cent store. And his pink, twinkling
nose ran ahead of him all the way, &c
be sure and get there first.
Uncle Wiggily had no trouble at al
in getting a fine, sharp can opener
And with it in his pocket he started
back toward his hollow stump bunga-
low, thinking, on the way, how gooc
the pear pudding with cranberry sauc
on would taste after Nurse Jane haC
made 1t.
