throw water on the Fox, if it
| should happen TO be that bad
| chap.
But it was only Susie Littletail,
the rabbit girl.
Good morning, Uncle Wiggily,"
spoke Susie, with low and po-
lite bow of her pink hair ribbon.
ana good morning 10 you, Nurse
Jane. Mother sent me over to
borrow your twisty istv."
MY what?" asked Miss Fuzzy
| Wuzzy, looking at Uncle Wiggily
as If to ask what Susie meant.
Your twisty isty," went on the
ing to bake a cake, and she wants
eggs. Hers is broken. / mean
doesn { matter about the eggs
being broken, for you have to
take off the shells, anyhow, be-
fore you use them" ....
Goodness, Susie! What a chat
terbox you are" laughed Nurse
Jane. DO you mean your mother
WdltS my tBB DedteT
Yes. Only / call it q twisty
isty!" said Susie with a laugh,
because you have to twist and
turn it to beat the eggs, don't
you, Nurse Jane?"
Yes" answered the muskrat
lady, you certainly do. Well, here
is the twisty isty, as you call
it, Susie" and she handed the lit
tie rabbit girl the egg beaten.
"Tll tell mother to save you a
piece of the cake, Uncle Wiggily!"
called Susie as she hurried pack
home with the twisty isty.
Thank you!" said the bunny
gentleman, and away he hoped.
Uncle Wigglly hoped over me
woods, and through the woods.
looking first on this side of the
path and then on that for an
adventure, twinkling his pink
nose now upside down and now
downside up, and, all at once, he
heard a rustling the bushes.
Perhaps this is Jackie or
Peetie Bow Wow, one of the pup
py dogs, on their way to school,"
thought the bunny gentleman. He
stood still and looked around the
corner of a big stone, and, all at
once, the bad old Bob Cat sprang
out.
"Oh, no! All, hal" howled the
Bob Cat, shaking the tassles on It's
ears at Uncle Wiggily. "This 10
the time l have caught you"
And, reaching over, he grasped
Mr.. Longears by the coat tails.
Eyes, l see you have me-" sad
~ answered Uncle Wiggily, "but
what are you going to do with
me?"
"Nibble your ears! What else
would do?" snarled the Bob !
Cat, who was so called because
his tail was bobbed off short, like
little pigs nose. What did |
you think l was going to do?" |
asked the Bob Cat.
II hoped you were going to let !!
me CO." said the bunny gentle
man, sadly enough.
"Ho! Don't think that for a
minute!" snickered the unpleas- |
ant chap. "Pll never let you go.
I'm going to -"
But just then a voice was heard |
singing in the woods song Ike |
this:
my mother made a chocolate
cake,
One big slice I'm going to take.
I'll give it to my Uncle Wiggily, |
And then I'll dance a jog jog ,
jiggily!"
And along came Susie Littletail
the rabbit girl, with something in
her paws.
"oh. Uncle Wiggily!" cried ,
Susie as soon as she saw the Bob i
Cat holding the bunny gentleman.
I've brought you a piece OF
chocolate cake"
"Alas!" signed the bunny rab-
bit. what good is chocolate cake
when the Bob Cat has caught
me?"
"Oh, I have something for him,
tool" said Susie.
What it is?" asked the Bob
Cat, letting go of the bunnys coat
tails, lis it chocolate cake?"
Indeed it is not!" said Susie,
shaking her head until her hair
ribbon snapped. Its the twisty
isty for you. Here 1 come with
it," Placing on a stump the piece
of cake for Uncle Wiggily, Susie
ran at the Bob Cat with the egg
beater she was taking back to
Nurse Jane. And when the bad
Bob Cat saw Susie twisting and
turning the egg beater he thought
it was something to bite. him.
Run away and let Uncle Wig
gily alone!" cried Susie, and she
poked the egg beaten in the Bob
Cats ribs and turned and twisted
it, pulling his fur so hard that
he cried "Wow!" and away he
ran. not hurting the bunny at all,
THANK you for saving me,
SUSIE" said the rabbit gentleman
as he ate the chocolate cake.
Then Susie took the twisty isty
egg beater back to Nurse Jane
and all was well. And If the mos
quitoes don't lift the netting out1
of the window so they can get in
to bite the gas stove, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and the
pinchy inchie.
