UNCLE WIGGILY
The Story of the Slippy Slide
10
By HOWARD r CARS

By HOWARD r. CARS

You want TO be very careful
when you go out this morning,
called Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the
muskrat lady housekeeper, TO the
bunny rabbit gentleman, as he put
on his tall silk hat, getting ready
to go out for an adventure-hop-
"Why?" asked Mr. LOngears, as
he gave his pink nose an extra twin

showed in the night?" he went on,
land will the animal boys throw
icicles at my tall hat?"
Hardly that" laughed Miss Fuz-
zey wuzzy. There is no show as yet
| though 1t feels as if we might have
some for Thanksgiving. But there
was a heavy frost last night. Your
friend Jack has made the board
walk in front of the bungalow as
slippery as the duck pond when ii
freezes over. I saw Sammie and
Susie Littletail, Jsckie and Peetie
Bow Wow, Johnnie and Billie Bush
: ytail and Curly and Floppy Twisty-
tail, the piggie boys, sliding on the
walk. 1t must be quite slippery, so
If you step on it-be careful"
81 will" promised the bunny rab-
bit gentleman.
He went out of his bungalow and,
no sooner had he appeared on the
top front step than a chorus of ami
NAL voices called
ftHnp,o hova C1fnnW slide
Uncle Wigt' Sometimes they called
him Uncle Wig" for short, when
they were in a hurry. And the ami
NAL boys and girls were in a hurry
now, sliding down the frosty boards.
Whizz-whee! they went
"My, but that's fun" laughed I'm

Bushytail, the squirrel. slide down
backward with his fluffy tail curled
up over his head.
Come on, slide with mel" beg
ged Susie, the girl rabbit
Il willr' exclaimed Mr.. Longears.
Susie took a little run, and, coming
to the slippy place, she braced her
paws firmly and down she slid IN
Gle Wiggily tried to do the same.
But 1t was a long time since he
had been a small rabbit boy, and
perhaps he had forgotten how to
slide. Or maybe it was too early in
the winter. Anyhow, Uncle Wiggi-
lys paws b ecame twisted. He started
down frontwards, turned backward,
oppe6 over to one side, tried to save
himself, his hat came off, he tried
to catch hold of it, he stood on one
tippytoe and then on the other and
then
Well, he went down ker-bunko!
There is no use of me trying TO keep
it from youi Uncle Wiggily fell
down ker-bunko on the slippy slide!
"Ohi oh! OH" cried all the ami
NAL boys and girls.
Hal Ha! Hal laughed Uncle
Wiggily, jumping up.
Mercy me! hope nothing is
broken? ?" cried Nurse Jane, who.
standing on the porch, saw what had
happened.
Nothing at all is broken, unless
cracked one of the boards in the
walk" chuckled the bunny, as he

hoped up as Jolly as a hot cross
bun on Easter morning.
Come on! Slide some morei"
squealed Curly, the piggie boy. And
all the animal children laughed when
they saw how happy Uncle Wiggily
was.
well, I'll try just once more"
said the rabbit uncle This time he
went down better, not falling.
though he did spin around like a
pinwheel at Fourth Of July.
And then the warm sun came up
and melted the frost on the board
walk, so there was no more slippy
slide.
"Oh, deari" cried all the animal
boys and girls. our slide is
spoiled"
III make you another" promised
Uncle Wiggily. This afternoon when
it gets cool I'll pour some water on
the boards. The water Will freeze.
as the spring did, catching the bad
bears paw, and this evening well
have more fun"
The animal children ran away and
Uncle Wiggily poured water on the
slide when the sun began TO go down
and the wind blew cold again. In
a little while Jack Frost froze even
better slippy slide than the one
he had made in the morning.
"Oh, this is dandyl" cried Uncle
Wiggily, taking a slide before the
animal children came along. What
fun they'll have!"
Yes, and what fun I'll have!"
howled a loud voice. "I'll have fun
nibbling your earsi" And bless your
bread and milk, there was the bad
old Bushy Bear again. THE sun
thawed my paw out of the spring"
growled the bear, land now I've
come 10 get youl"
First you have to catch mel"
cried Uncle Wiggily. With that he
took a run, and whizz- whazz" down
the slide he went.
"Oh, I'll catch you all right"
howled the bear. The shaggy crea-
ture ran down the slide after the
bunny. But the bears paws slipped
from under him. Down he fell kerr
bunk ker-bango, and he was sliding
on his back upside down. Down,
down, down the slippy slide he went
and all Of a sudden he banged into
a tree.
"Biff!" went the soft and tender
nose of the bear against the hard
tree.
ooh. WOW! I've had enough!"
howled the bad chap. Somebody
else can nibble your ears, Uncle
Wiggily!"
Thank you'll 1 don't need my ears
nibbled!" laughed the bunny, who
had skipped away safely when he
reached the end of the slide. And
the bears nose was so sore he
couldn't nibble a lump of sugar if
he had had one. Away he ran into
the woods to cure his nose, and so
he didn't get the bunny after all.
And the animal children had a fine
time on the new slippy slide.
So if the front door doesn't try
to climb in the side window and
make funny faces at the hall look
ing glass, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily and Curly's sled.

toward the wide road before we had

chauffeur pointed out.

could hear every word Of il, straight
ened from her task Of piling sticks

ing it in any sense. We certainly
would not have the slightest objec-
ton TO moving II for civil fellow
travellers, but under the present cir
cumstances we must absolutely de-
cline 10 touch it."
The drawl left her voice at the
last words, and they were spoken
with an icy decision that evidently
had its effect on the chauffeur. He
had opened the door and put his
foot on the running board, but he
drew in his foot. closed the door
and spoke with decision in his ow-
voice 10 his employer.
There's nothing 10 do but 10 back

out some way OF turning this car
around here, or you're fred when
we get home"
With a little sardonic twist 70 his
lips. but with no other break in his
absolute stoical composure. the
chauffeur stopped 10 the gl!ttering

CHARGECRUEI
TREATMENT TO
LOADOFCATTIlE
Anderson Stock Hauler First
to Be Arrested for I'M
proper Loading.

Frank Givans. 61f Parke avenue. Ander-
son. was slated today at the police sta
tion by Thomas Bledsoe. humane officer,
to answer Monday to an affidavit signed
by DR. Elizabeth CongeT charging cruel
treatment to animals.
Givans is a stock hauler and the charge
against him is that in bringing in a load
of cattle he permitted the calves in the
load to be trampled and injured by
heavier cattle. Witnesses. who stopped
his truck on Massachusetts avenue Fri
day night, declared a bull was down in
the rack and lying on one of the calves,
which was then unconscious.
Complaint was made to the humane of
ficers department. but Givans drove away
before the police reached the scene. Bled-
soc later arrested him at the stock yards,
acting under that section Of the State
law which authorizes a humane officer to
arrest on the direction of a member of
an incorporated humane society.
The case is understood TO be the first
attempt TO compel authorities to give at
tention to reports of extreme cruelty in
the hauling of live stock to Indianapolis
in trucks.
