UNCLE wIGGnY AND JIAdMIE'S JUMBLES.

Z baker cat. They are all sorts Of
little cakes mixed up together
I jumbles are, you know"
yes" said Uncle Wiggily, Il
I know
So, feeling glad that the duck boy
Z had not forgotten what his mother
I told him, Uncle Wiggily hoped out
Of the baker shop and started back
toward the Wibblewobble house. On
the way he met Sammie Littletail, the
rabbit boy.
Did YOU see Jimmie and his jun
bles2" asked Uncle Wiggily.
Yes, answered Sammie, hes
down the path playing marbles with
Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow. On,
Uncle Wiggily," went on Sammie,
"are you ever coming TO live with US
again2"
( bunny gentleman. Just now 1 am
visiting Lulu, Alice and Jimmie Wib-
blewobble- And I must hurry along
after Jimmie to see that he does not
forget and leave the bag OF jumbles
somewhere on the road"
Bidding Sammie goOd-by. Uncle
Wiggily hoped on, and. pretty soon
he came TO a place where, as he
could see, Jimmie had been playing
marbles with the two puppy dog
boys
And there. surely enough. lying on
the ground. was a bag
We'll DO declared" exclaimed
Uncle Wiggily. Jimmie has gone
and forgotten his jumbles after all
He was so busy playing marbles
that he hurried off and forgot his
cakes It's a good thing I came after
him. III slip them in the kitchen
and he'll probably remember them
just before supper and be anxious
1t viii teach him q lesson"

bag he found on the ground, near
where the animal boys had been play
ing marbles a short time before
I hope Jimmie's jumbles are nice
and fresh" thought the rabbit gen
tleman as he heard something rattI-
ing and clinking inside the bag.
Some Of them sound rather hard, but
perhaps il is because OF the choco-
late and sugar frosting on them"
So carrying the bag he had found,
Uncle Wiggily hoped on through
the woods, thinking how nice the
5umbles would taste for supper. Then.
all OF a sudden. the queer old Gro
zolzus jumped out from behind a next
years Christmas tree.
'Stopi I have you nowi What have
you there2" asked the Crooks, as
he grabbed Uncle Wiggily by the
ears. 7 have you."

First tell me what you have IN the
bag" snapped the Crozokus-
"Jimmie's jumbles," answered Mr..
Longears- he bought them at the
bakery and forgot them"
"Jimmie's jumbles; eh2" spoke the
Crozokus, musing like and reflective.

to do First, an going to eat jim
niles Jumbles and then am going
10 have some Of your souse. Now for

Uncle Wiggily, as the Crozokus
dropped the bag and started to run.

Crozokus- Matter enough. should I
