Uncle Wiggily was about to drive on
when he happened to think that per-
haps the bugs were tired OF crawling.
wouldn't you IKE ride IN my
auto7" asked the bunny rabbit. with
4 polite twinkle OF his pink nose. I
have plenty OF room"
Thank you. a ride would be NICE
said the large SquigEle Bug
Into Uncle WfEgily's auto they
crawled. and soon they were having
a nice ride.
Are you going any place special2"
asked the bunny after a Bit when the
bugs had not told him where they
wanted 70 get out.

room for two Squiggle Bugs"
"Oh, thank you very much," whis-
pered the hugs. Now we are like real
folks-we have a home"
So Uncle Wiggily took them 20 his
bungalow, Nurse Jane and Baby Bunty
welcomed them and made them feel
at hone, and for a long time the
Squige Bugs stopped with Uncle
But one day the rabbit gentleman
noticed that the two SQuiggle Bugs

Wiggily. Are you sorry you came to
"oh. no indeed" they answered.
But we would so much ike to slide

"A slide down hilIr' cried Uncle
Wiggily. why, no one can slide
down hill except in winter. and that
is a long way off. Besides. you
Squiggle Bugs are too small to slide
down big hills
I'VE know that" said the bug with
the most red spots. "Ail our lives we
have wanted to slide down hill. but
the hills are always too. large and
there Is no sliding except in winter
when there is snow on the ground
and so we never have any coasting
Isn't il sad. Uncle Wiggily2-
Yes" said the bunny. 'it is 7 wish
I could find way for YOU to slide

But Uncle Wiggilv couldn't seem 20
think Of any way. and each day the
SquigEle Bugs grew more and more
sad They wanted to go coasting on Il
little hill IN the summer. but there
seemed to he no way to do this.
One day. however. after having been

At salt Lake. IL you go out to
n saltair. the famous salt Lake
beach. you buy a round trip ticket.
but you give up the whole thing
going out. Everybody can ride back
without a ticket This custom was
started before the day Of the automo-
biles. when everybody had to go out
on the cars and, after they were once
there. It was not necessary. to take a
ticket from them as they returned
It's still satisfactory. for. II you go
out by automobile. you pay as much
to get into the beach as you pay to
90 out On the cars and get in. so the
street car company loses nothing. II
you should 90 out by auto and come
back on one OF its cars.
Incidentally. electric lights are
saved on the cars on the return trip.
The lights are left on for outgoing
trains. while the conductor takes
tickets, but. returning TO the city,
there are nc lights at night and the
young folks don't complain about it,
either.
