promised Uncle Wiggily. 81 expect
Grandpa Goosey Gander to call
and l don't want to miss him."
SO, when Nurse Jane went over
to visit Mrs Wibblewobble, the
duck lady Uncle Wiggily sat in his
easy chair. And, in order that he
would not fall asleep he started
the photograph to playing lively
dance tunes. Uncle Wiggily kept
time with his red, white and blue
striped rheumatism crutch, going
"Tap! Tap! Tap" to the music.
The bunny gentleman had just
finished playing one record, and
he was putting another in the pho
nograph, when. all of a sudden,
there was a ring at the front door
bell.
Come in" invited the bunny
gentleman. Come on in Grandpa
Goosey! The door isn't locked"
ooh, but l am not Grandpa
Goosey!" cried a laughing voice,
and in came Susie Littletail, the
rabbit girl.
"Ha! Ha! I see you aren't
laughed Uncle Wiggily. You have
come for the cranberries."
YES" said Susie. Mother is go
ling to bake a pie with them, and
perhaps she'll let me make you a
cranberry jam tart!"
ooh, hope she does!" said I'm
/ Gle Wiggily. But sit down, Susie,
and I'll play you some phonograph
music"
So Susie sat in the chair, near
the bag of red cranberries, and
Uncle Wiggily wound up the music
machine, playing nice tune
about;
"Once had a red balloon.

But it came down with a lolly-
pop"
"Oh. that's wonderful! play an
other verse;" begged Susie, but JUS,
then the door bell rang again and
Uncle Wiggily called out;

inw
steps were heard in the hall, pu'
instead of Grandfather GooseS
Gander, there was the old Black
Bushy Bear, licking his black nose
with his red tongue.
"Oh!" exclaimed Uncle Wiggily
|"oh!"
And Susie said the same thing.
