fast, hopping here and there, that
Uncle .Wiggily had to laugh. And
i he twinkled his pink nose, also,
like some bread and mOlasses.
"Come on out and take walk"
begged Baby Bunty of the bunny
rabbit gentleman. Uncle Wiggily
was going to say that his rheu-
matism was hurting him little
that morning, but Baby Bunty gave
him no chance. She brought him
his red, white and blue striped
rheumatism crutch, and, before
he knew it, Mr.. Longears was hop
ping overs the fields and through
the woods with lively Baby Bunty.
They reached the top of a hill
| in the woods and could look down
on a city and some trolley cars
where some men were working on
| the track. One of the men waved
a red flag.
what is the man waving the
red flag for, Uncle Wiggily?" ask
ed Baby Bunty.
"Red means danger" answered
| the bunny rabbit. 81 suppose there
must be some danger down on
the trolley car track, and the man
with the red flag is warning peo-
pie to keep away, But we Will
not go down, there, BABY Bunty.
For while most boys and girls are
kind to us, some men might not
be. We will stay away from the
red flag danger"
81 think so, too" spoke Baby
Bunty, Come on, Uncle Wiggily!
Run fast! 1t will be good for your
rheumatism"
So. whether he liked it or not
Uncle Wiggily had to hop, skip
and jump after Baby Bunty. For
she ran on ahead. and Uncle
Wiggily did not want her to get
into danger, where there might
| be no red flag to warn her, so he
had to run after her.
ON and on, over the fields and
! through the woods, went Baby
Bunty and Uncle Wiggily. The
little rabbit girl, who was going to
stay with Uncle Wiggily part of
/ the time, and with other animal
friends other times, was speaking
/ about Christmas and wondering
what she would get, when, all of
! a sudden, she skipped down a lit
| tie path in the woods, and came
running back very much excited.
ooh, Uncle Wiggily!" whispered
Rahv Runty. I'VE mustn't go down
that path"
"Why not?" asked the bunny
rabbit gentleman.
because there is a red brush
sticking up down there behind the
bushes" went on Baby Bunty.
"a red brush?' asked Uncle
Wiggily. =,
answered Baby Bunty. If REQ
flag means danger, 1 should think
! a red brush would mean the same
thing" -
perhaps it does" whispered
Uncle Wiggily. TN so take a look
Baby Bunty You stay here"
Softly, softly, Uncle Wiggily
crept along the path and looked as
| Baby Bunty had done. There, sure
" enough, sticking up behind a
| bush was what looked to be DIG
fluffy, red busting brush. But as
soon as the bunny gentleman mao
/ taken one look he hoped back to
Baby Bunty as quickly as he coulo
and whispered:
'That isn't a red busting brush
Bunty! 1t is the red, fluffy tai
of the Fuzzy Fox! | guess ne Il
waiting to catch u.s."
"Well, he can't catch mel crleo
| Baby Bunty."Nor you, either, I'm
Gle Wiggilyl Come on! | know how
to make you run fast! Tag, You're

Baby Bunty tagged Uncle Wig
| gily, and of course he had 10 ski
after her, and away they ran fal
from the fox with his red brush o.
a tail The fox heard them sour
+, rying away through the bushes.
| "Ah, ha! Rabbits," barked the
fox. II must get them!"
But he did not, for Uncle Wig
gily and Baby Bunty had heac
start.
otis good you happened to see
the red brush of the fox, which
meant danger for us. Baby Bun
