UNCLE WIGGILY
The Story of the Roast Apples
To-
By HOWARD r. CARS

By HOWARD r. GARIS

he and the squirrel boys sat about
on tree stumps waiting for the ap-
pies TO cook. Soon a most lovely
smell filed the air. The apples were
baking. and the sweet juice was
bursting through the brown skin.
Al. Of a sudden a>sad voice said:
oh. how hungry 1 ann" and out
of hole came an old Groundhog,
or Woodchuck. gentleman.
Hungry are you?" cried Uncle
Wiggily in his jolly voice We'll have
some Of our baked apples. Mr..
Grounding" and without another
word Mr.. Longears passed three ap-
pies 10 the Woodchuck
oh thank youl" exclaimed the
hungry animal. eating them as they
cooled Billie and Johnnie looked
at one another. There were only
seven apples left now,
They'll soon be ready for you to
eat" spoke Uncle Wiggily. but just
then a poor Old mud turtle stuck his
head cut from under a stone and
shiveringly said:
"Oh. how cold I am! on. how
coIdt"
1T is a cold day" spoke Uncle
Wibbily. The squirrel boys and 1
don't mind it as we are covered with
fur. But you have no fur, Mr. Turtle.
However take some Of our hot bak-
ed apples under the stone with YOU.
They'll keep you warm" And with
that Uncle Wiggily took a stick and
70
ward the Turtle. The Turtle raised
up the stone. let the apples roll un-
der it and then he let the stone drop
back in place again, for it was the
front door Of his house.
Now I'll be nice and warm" he
said. Billie and Johnnie looked sad
/ There were only three apples left
now And, all of a sudden. out OF
the bushes jumped the bad old Wolf,
| "Oh, no. Oh, hO,' hOwled thC
I Wolf. I'm going TO bite everybody
"Oh, are your? Wei l guess not"
cried brave Uncle Wiggily. And with
/ that he took a stick and rolled the
three last hot baked apples toward
the Wolf They burned his nose and
made him howl wow" and then h'
ran away after smashing the apple!
as fiat as pancakes.
Dear me-" said Uncle Wiggily
"a he looked at the fire. "All oui
baked apples are gone boysl"
I'VE don't care," cheerfully chat
tered Billie and Johnnie. with tn,
/ apples you helped the hungr,
Grounding. you warmed the colo
Turtle and you saved us all from be
ing bitten by the Wolf" And so Mr.
Longears had. But the next day n,
! found more apples and roasted then
for the two squirrels, so they al
had a good time. And if the puss.
cats tail doesn't tickle the face o
the clock and make its hands hide il
the keyhole, IN tell YOU next abou
Uncle Wiggily and the butterfly.

1 was rubbing a chilled bowl with
Glove of garlic. my invariable
preparation for a French salad
dressing, when Lillian entered the
kitchen. I knew that she had come
in obedience TO my prescription of
a cup of hot milk after her nap, and
FASTENED to absolve her.
"I'll let you off at that" l laughed.
L didn't know how near luncheon
time was when l issued my ulti-
matum."
"Merci. madame" She came
swiftly toward me, shifting disdain-
fully.
You. and your garlic!" she laugh
ed. II take off my hat TO you.

stuff on a bet. 1t is one of my pet
aversions But 1 have a deep re-

the half of a green pepper which
contains the seeds, and into which
have slipped a bit of garlic. When
drain the dressing after FIVE or ten
minutes ii has traces OF both the
pepper seeds and the garlic"
As I talked I measured salt pep

olive oil. and finally lemon juice,
very slowly.
so that's the secret of that dress
ing of yours Lillian commented.
I've seen you put the stuff into tae
green pepper, but never noticed the
garlic. Well, you're certainly justi-
fed. Did you see Dicky?"
Yes. l think he's gone TO wash
up for luncheon. l want TO get it
on the table as soon as I can
Lillian grinned comprehensively.
Wise lady" she murmured. is
there anything 1 can do?"
I think not" 1 finished the
salad. and turned 90 Kite
We're ready whenever YOU are.

get everybody TO table, den I serve. q"
Lillian followed me 10 the little
lavatory on the lower floor. where
with a handbrush and much scrub
bing I removed the traces of the
garlic from my fingers.
You don't know what Dicky
found out. infer" she said anxi-
ously
4 didn't dare to ask him I con-
f,ssed smiling
Then it's all right-ne didn't sue
ceed. But I'm dying 10 hear the
story Of his encounter with that
woman-if he'll only tell the truth
about it."
As we came back into the dining
room We found Dicky declaiming i'm

giggied appreciatively.
Il certainly shall begin luncheon
on YOU" he was saying. If Katie
doesn't hurry Up. IL Will srieve me

Have you any matches in the
bungalow ?" asked Uncle Wiggily one
day OF Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. his
muskrat lady house keeper.
Matches? Why. of course we
have matches Wiggy, answered
Nurse Jane. But ! hope you aren't
going 10 set fire TO the piano."
Indeed not" laughed the bunny
gentleman. Il need the matches for
Johnnie and Billie Bushytai, the
squirrels. whom l see coming down
the woodland path"
"Oh, my goodness me, sakes alive
and bushel of candy kisses" cried
the muskrat lady. Il never can let
those little squirrel boys play with
matches. Mercy. no."
They aren't going 10 play with
them" laughed Uncle Wiggily. i
am going to take the matches and
go off in the woods with the squirrels
10 build a fire"
What for?" Nurse Jane wanted
10 know.
SO we can roast apples answer
ed Uncle Wiggily. Il promised the
squirrel boys that I'd take them out
into the forest where we could have
an apple roast. and now I'm going
to do it. Wen take some apples
with us. build a fire and cook them q"
So Nurse Jane gave the bunny
gentleman some matches, Mr.. Long
ears filled his tai silk hat with ap-
pies, and by the fine Johnnie and
Rffffp EnGhx-4afr ha
ed the hollow stump bungalow ev-
erything was ready.
"Oh, what fun well have!" chat
tered the little nut-eating chaps, as
they capered about Uncle Wiggily
I'm going 10 eat ten roasted APP
plesi" cried Billie.
: 80 am l." said his brother. May
be elevenl"
Uncle Wiggily said nothing. but ne
twinkled his pink nose and he
/ thought to himself:
Il don't want those squirrel boys
! to become greedy little chaps. Tel
apples each will be too many. They
must not be greedy or SELFISH"
Soon the three friends were in the
woods. Uncle Wiggily took the ap,
pies out of his tall silk hat where
he had carried them and began tC

counted the apples and found Their,

Revelations "a Vile 6YoA aS5s5

Then you'll he just like the wal
rus Uncle Dicky!" Marion exclaimed
delightedly. Don't you remem-
Der"
She caught sight of her mother,
and with Lewis Carroll forgotten,
dashed across the room TO her.
I've been so lonesome, Mumsie,
she said with her arms around Lii
lian's waist. Katie said you were
busy writing, so I didn't come near
you"
That's my own sweetheart"
heard Lillian murmur. and you
shan't be away from me another
minute today if YOU don't wish to-"
AS if I'd wish to, the child re-
turned, looking up at her mothers
face with an alteration equalled only
by Lillian's returning look. l shiv-
cred a bit at this glimpse of the un-
usually intense interdependence Of
the mother and child for my con-
Germ over Lillian prompted the men
tai question, Suppose something
should happen"
Katie's entrance with the dinner
wagon was a most welcome diver
sion. Marion sprang TO pull out her
mothers chair, an office which she
relinquished only on formal occa-
sions. Dicky performed the same
service for me, and we were soon
discussing with relish-Dicky, at
least, with avidily-Katie's appetiz-
ing viands.
There was very little conversation
during the meai, ard that perfume
tory. but when Oicl;v had disposed
of a second baked apple with cream
the last cOUrsv of the luncheon
he eyed Lillian and me with a re-
luctant grin.
Strange what a good meal will do
for a disposition" he said. When
I came in today I could have chewed
up one perfectly good wife without
any conjunction, although 7 must
admit with some reason But now
everything is forgiven. You are re-
stored 10 my heart Madge. Yau are
also avenged OF any little annOyances
1 may have caused you. I've been
interviewing that Jezebel who is 10

1 escaped with my life"
made no reply whatever 10 this
speech, so fearful was I that DicIy
might twist ii into some form OF the
Il told you so" with which he so
often twits me. Lillian stepped into
the breach with a drawing COM
ment:
Il may infer. then. that the lady
didn't look with any favor upon a
proposal 10 turn back the house %
For a second or two the face Ddcky
turned toward her held black
scowl Of irritation But the next in
slant il had vanished and had given
place 10 a broad grin.
Your inference is eminently cor
rect. The only thing ti.tt dame was

There came first a great array Of
