Although there are ancient supefStl =

usual condition that makes for inter-

when he heard "A chorus Of shouts from
the animal boys playing in field near

Hes all right for football, but not

Those were some of the things Uncle
Wiggily heard. A few minutes later
he saw Neddie Stuhtail, the boy bear

sad and unhappy, and staring down at
his long, big claws.
What's the matter, Neddie?" asked
the bunny rabbit gentleman, is the
