UNCLE WIGGILY
Uncle Wiggly Plays Paper Tag
TO-
By HOWARD r. CARS

By HOWARD R. CARS

One day. when Uncle Wiggily was
sitting on the steps OF his hollow
stump bungalow, reading his red
white and blue striped crutch, and
leaning his rheumatism on the news
paper, Jackie Bow Bow, the little
puppy dog, barked and said:
Don't you want TO play tag with
US, Uncle Wiggily?"
What kind OF tag?" asked the
rabbit gentleman. IF it's the kind
Baby Bunty plays, where I have TO
skip. jump and almost turn somer-
saults. I'd rather be excused. It's
too lively for mel"
We'll. I'm here. Uncle Wiggily,"
piped up the voice Of Baby Bunty,
but the kind Of tag we are going 10
play won't hurt you. It's a new
kind"
What IS It," Mr.. Longears want
ed TO know.
Paper tag" answered Billie Wag-
tail, the goat.
What kind Of tag is that?" ask
ed the bunny gentleman, thinking
the animal children were trying to
play joke on him.
It's the kind where II you stand
on a piece of paper you're safe and
no body can tag YOU" explained
Peetie. the other little puppy dog
boy. Its like stone or wood tag.
When we play those games, if you
stand on stone or wood you can't be
tagged. This time you got to stand
on a piece of paper"
That sounds like fun" said
Uncle Wiggily. I'll have a game OF
paper tag with you, and I'll take my
newspaper along TO stand on"
och, you can't do that" laughed
Baby Bunty. Voc must run all
around whenever anybody who is
1t chases YOU. But If you come to a
piece Of paper you just stand OH
that with one paw and you cant be
tagged"
"Oh. I see!" said Uncle Wiggily.
well. I'm ready, I guess. Who is
going to be it?'

Peetie was It he chased the bunny
right toward the fly paper. Uncle
Wiggily saw it and cried:
You can't tag met I'm going 20
be safe I see some paper 20 stand

The puppy dos boys could hardly
keep from laughing. But just as
Uncle Wiggily was going 10 leap on
the sticky fly paper. out from be-

"Oh. no." howled the Wolf. "Tu

Uncle Wigg.ly's ears That's what
I'll do! I'll tag"
And then he didn't say any more.

over for so long, but never thought
1 could afford it, and now this is all
wasted"
"Why?" Lillian asked laconically.
and again 1 felt a leap of my pulses.
When Lillian speaks in that tone I
always know that she has outlined
her course 'of action and is ready to
put herself-and, incidentally, every
body around her-into harness.
"Why-what do you mean?" Mrs.
Durkee faltered.
Tell me the truth, now" Lillian
smiled. Aren't these your favorite
colors 2"
She waved her hand toward the
delicate cream and olive draperies.
Yes, they are" Mrs. Durkee ad-
mitted, but I honestly didn't think
of that when / selected them"
"Of course. you didn't" Lillian
soothed. Il simply judged by my
own experience and observation of
other people. Doesn't everybody in
the world subconsciously select for
Christmas and birthday and wedding
gifts the things they like them
selves? It's the same principle, and
in this case it is fortunate, because
if my eyes aren't at fault, these dra-
peries will exactly fit your windows.
and the rugs will do beautifully on
your floors"
But they're coming home tomor-
row night" Mrs. Durkee walled.
Lillian cupped her chin IN her
palms and put her elbows on her
knees. I signalled to Mrs. Durkee
TO keep silence, for knew what that
pose meant Another minute or two,
she raised her head with an air Of
assurance, and 1 knew that the
minutest details Of whatever plan
she had in mind were all marshalled
in order.

she asked.

Of the traces Of vandalism which I

AS she said soon" Baby Bunty
touched Sammie Littletail, and he
had TO be it. and to try to tag one Of
the others. Only, Of course, he
couldn't tag them If they stood on a
piece of paper.
"Get ready now. Scatter! I'm
coming!" cried Sammie, and all the
others ran, even Uncle Wiggily, TO
keep from being tagged. Sammie
ran after first one and then some
one else. and whenever anybody was
almost going to be touched they'd
find a piece of paper on the ground
step on it, and then they'd be safe.
But it wasn't always this way.

tagged first, and then he caught Su-

If you'll pardon me-" said Edith
Fairfax as we finally took a reluc-
tant leave of the fascinating studio
apartment she had fashioned out of
the useless servants quarters" in
the Durkee house, I'll stay here for
a few minutes. There are a few lit

so, will your"
She addressed Mrs. Durkee cour-
teously enough, but 1 noticed that
both her manner and look held more
than a tinge Of formality and chilli
ness. I realized that she was still
strongly resentful of the disregard
OF Leilas' tastes shown by Mrs. Dur
kee in the arrangement Of her new
daughter-in-law's room.
My little neighbours manner was
equally tiff. though her words were
evidently meant TO be heartily cor
dial.
II shan't need you at ALL" she
said. You helped with everything
this afternoon. even TO setting the
table. There isn't a thing to do ex-
.cept the final touches, and those I'd
rather do alone anyway. I'm used

rather non-committally, and I saw
little Mrs. Durkee's pretty brows
knit in puzzled irritation as we left
the room.
She said nothing, however. until
we had again reached the room she
had prepared for her sons bride.
Then. as If with a sudden determin-
alton, she closed the door of It after
us
"Sit down here, both Of you. and

a note Of determination in her
voice.
Ny pulses gave little leap. So
her heart after all had triumphed! 1
wanted 10 go over and hug her. but
I did not dare risk any demonstra-
ton which might lead her to think
I had disapproved her former course.
While I hesitated, puzzled what to

1T seems such pity to touch it."
she said. 1T is so perfect. Do you
really think you ought?"
I flashed her a glance Of awed adj
miration. How had she known 50
.unerringly how 10 strike exactly the
right note with my little neighbor?
Enthusiastic acceptance OF her deci-
sion would have dampened the new
born ardor Of Her F'lufiness. This
subtle recognition Of the sacrifice she
was making. this touch Of opposi-
ton. was just what she needed 10
crystalline her determination.
Her F'Iufiness sighed prodigiously.

ARMENIA DESPAIRED
OF ENTENTE'S HELP,
JOINED SOVIET, CLAIM

ROME, Jan. 17-Armenia despaired
of assistance from the entente ma
lions before entering into relations
with soviet Russia, declared M. Var
andian, Armenian minister to Italy. in
an interview with the Trieuna publish
ed here today. He recently returned
from the meeting of the Assembly OF
the League of Nations at Geneva and
spoke Frankly regarding the situation
in his native country.
. The minister recalled that the Unit
ed States, Spain and Brazil had de-
clared themselves ready to mediate be-
tween Armenia and the Turkish nat
ionalists, and pointed out that Presi-
dent Wilson had asked the American
congress to grant Armenia a loan of
$25, 100000.
"All the other countries, led by
France" he continued, "were not in
terested in Armenia's fate and under
these circumstances who could blame
our unfortunate people if they should
throw themselves into the arms of
the Bolsheviki after having for two
years vainly implored help from the
entente?
"The Bolsheviki. after having fav-
ored a Turkish invasion of Armenia,
now pose as liberators before the Ar
menians and will certainly acquire
notable prestige if they succeed in
driving out the Turks. The Armenians
do not possess large properties or in'
dustries to be communized, and, in
fact, the Bolsheviki represent a small
minority in my country.
Under article Z of the Turkish arm
istice, the allies were pledged to oc'
cupy Armenia villages in case OF
trouble Not only troubles occurred
but Mustapha Renal led his Turkish
Nationalist troops into Armenian ter
ritory as far as Kars and Alexandra
pol without the allies moving finger
The Armenian people ask the allies
to make good their word and compel
Mustapha kemal to evacuate their
| territory"
