running from the hollow stump
bungalow to the duck lady's house.
"Well, Nurse Jane is certainly
talking a long while" said Uncle
| Wiggily to himself, as he stood in
the kitchen waiting to tell the
muskrat lady where he was going.
she and Mrs. Wibblewobble have
a lot to say. But l wonder what
will happen to the cake Nurse Jane
is making? If she let's it stand too
long it may rise or fall-seems TO
me / heard her say something
about a cake falling. ! don't want
this cake spoiled. I know what
I'll do. I'll finish this cake my
self while Nurse Jane is at the tel
ephone.'
The muskrat lady was still busy
talking away. Uncle Wigg ly went
to the kitchen table, In the bowl
were some eggs and other things
that needed beating up.
I'm just stir up this cake, sift
in some flour as I've seen Nurse
Jane do, and then I'll put it in the
oven and bake it," said Uncle Wig
gily.
Nurse Jane was at the telephone
in the pantry and she could not see
what Uncle Wiggily was doing. So
the rabbit gentleman took the egg
beaten and began to stir it around
in the cake mixture in the bowl.
"Whizz! Whirr! Zip." stirred the
bunny, and he made the egg heater
go so fast that he spfashed a lot of
cake batter on the face of the
clock.

Uncle Wiggily, most politely. MY
errorn' The clock waved its hands
at the bunny.
Then Uncle Wlggily stirred a lit
tie differently, but the egg heater
slipped and some more cake batter
was splashed over the side of the
bowl, this time on the legs of the
table.
"Oh, how careless of me-" said
the bunny, as he took a towel and
wiped the egg cake batter off the
legs of the table. Then he beat up
the things in the bowl very fast,
as he was quite excited and didn't
want the cake to spoil.
But, all of sudden, some of the
sweet, sticky stuff splattered all
over "a head of lettuce on the table.

this morning." laughed Uncle wig
gily, while Nurse Jane was still at
the telephone. 81 spattered the
face of the clock, the legs of the
table and the head of lettuce. /

And Uncle Wiggily tried to stir
more slowly.
But the bunny was thinking how
he could surprise Nurse Jane when
she came from the telephone by
having the cake all ready for the
oven so he turned the egg-beater
faster. and "Plop" Out went a
lot of yellow batter, falling on the
foot of the cellar stairs.
"Well. | guess I'd better give il
an" said the bunny. But just then
fine door opened and the bad old
Pipsisewah stuck his head in.
ANY souse today?' he asked.
"I mean have you any for me, I'm

cried the bunny, and he twisted the
egg heater so fast that he splashed

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CAKE.
(By Howard II. Carts. Z,

One morning, just as he was
coming down stairs after having
rad his breakfast, Uncle Wiggily
Longears, the nice bunny rabbit
gentleman, heard Nurse Jane, his
muskrat lady housekeeper, clatter-
ing and banging in the kitchen.
"Ah, Nurse Jane is busy, as
usual" said Uncle Wiggily to him
self, as he heard the bang of pots
and pans. "She is getting some
thing nice ready for my dinner, I
think. Good Nurse jane
Uncle Wiggily was all dressed
up, ready to go out and look for
an adventure, but first he thought
he would poke his head in the
kitchen door and tell Nurse Jane
where he was going.
He saw the muskrat lady busy
stirring something in a yellow
bowl but before the bunny rabbit
could say anything the telephone
bell rang.

BABo0N PUT TO USEFUL TASK
A. Shepherds, the Animals Are Said
to Develop Traits That Are
Almost Human. !

have often wondered, remarks Mr..
W. c. Scully in the Atlantic Monthly,
why more balloons are not trained as
shepherds. The creatures invariably
develop an absorbing affection for any
young animals, human or other, that
are placed In their charge, and there
is well-authenticated instance of a
baboon taking charge Of a motherless
Kafir infant. and guarding 1t night
and day for more than two years.
The simian foster rarent performed
every necessary function except feed
ing the child.
Several balloons have been trained
as shepherds. In a case that Mr.. Soul
ly himself observed the baboon had
charge Of several hundred sheep. He
became passionately attached to the
members Of the flock, and remained
with them all day long at pasture and
brought them back to the corral In
the evening. His only fault as shcp-
herd was the outcome Of extreme So
licitude: II he heard the voices Of wild
taboons in the distance Mt any time
Of the day, he would at once collect
the sheep, and with every appearance
of the liveliest terror hurry them
home.
