UNCLE WIGGILY
The Story of the Handkerchiefs

hoped about the kitchen OF the hol-
low stump bungalow. Dear me!

gentleman. would come along now
with a dozen cakes Of ice!"
Why wish for so m9ny?" asked
UncIo Wiggily. who was Just finish

carrot marmalade. Isn't there ice
in the &c box?"
Yes, but I'd like two dozen big
cakes 10 cool off my kitchen" went
on Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. You see
have to iron some clothes today, and
It's going to be very hot, especially
as have to heat the flatirons on
the stove"
That's So" agreed Uncle Wiggily.
Its too bad, Nurse Jane. that you
have TO do so much of the bot and
hard work"
That's what 1 get for being a
housekeeper," said the muskrat
lady. Generally don't care. but it
is very hot today. and 1 have so
many Of your handkerchiefs to iron.
But never mind"
"Oh, yes. l shall mind" quickly
cried the bunny rabbit, and his pink
nose twinkled like anything Il

out in a hot kitchen ironing my
handkerchiefs. l want you 10 go
right out in the garden and sit un-

That is very kind of you, Uncle

chiefs?"

gentleman.

of course can" declared Mr..
Longears. 1--WE ironed before when
you were away. True, 1 don't say
I could iron a shirt. or a ruffled
skirt. but handkerchiefs are plain
and flat. II is no trouble at all to
iron them smooth with a hot iron.
Let me try while you sit in the cool
garden"
The cool garden seemed very nice
TO Nurse Jane, and she was tired
and hot. So she brought out the
ironing board for Uncle Wiggily,
showed him where the pile OF damp
ened handkerchiefs were, and point
ed to the flatiron heating on the
stove.

Revelations ga Vile egoA aREs5

With a backward glance to see
that no car was behind me, turned
my car around, drew up in front of
the real estate office and parked.
When I alighted and took the key
from the ignition switch I heard
Lllian's voice close to my ear in
law, amused comment.
viii you walk into my parlor.
said the Spider TO the Fly?'" she
quoted softly. Take a futive glance
as we walk past the place. I don't
thing we'd better go in the first
thing"
I obeyed her and shared her
amusement at seeing the eyes Of two
men in the real estate office fairly
glued on US as we advanced toward
the door. One Of them started to his
feet as We came abreast of it. turn
ed abruptly, and whirled away from
the door as we passed on.
How they'd like 10 lean out and
grab people who look like buyers! %
Lillian observed maliciously. 1T
must be mighty hard on them to
keep up this pose Of proud indiffer-
ence which they've adopted lately
Let's walk down arOun the corner
here, and then come back. We've
had a chance 10 give those men the
once over before they begin to talk
TO US, which is always a stragetic
move.
When we returned and mounted
the steps Of the building both men
were busily engaged in writing or
were pretending 10 be. AS the door

stand too long on a handkerchief
you'll burn a big hole"
Like Pussy Cat Mole." laughed
the bunny. II know that! But I'll
keep the hot flat moving. I won'i
scorch the handkerchief"
SO he started TO work. while Nurse
Jane. very thankful and happy, sat
out under the grape vine and rested.
Uncle Wiggily knew a little about
laundry work, and. really, 1t was not
hard 10 push a hot flat over a flat
| handkerchief on the board. The
bunny had ironed half a dozen or 80.
and then found that his iron was
getting cold.
III get a hotter one from the
stove, he said, and he did. He was
just beginning to give this iron a
sleigh ride across the snowy hand
kerchief when he heard a voice call
ing him at the side door.
Uncle Wiggily, come here a min
ute!" some one said.
Setting down the hot iron, Uncle
Wiggily started for the door. but be-
fore he reached it he began think
ing
Now may be this is the Fuzzy Fo
or the Woozie Wolf, trying to play a
trick on me. to get me out where
they can nibble my ears" said the
bunny to himself. I'D better be
careful, go slow and take a look be-
fore 1 go TO the door,"
So Uncle Wiggily, leaving his hot
l, -,
toes TO the side door. He moved very
slowly, and it took him some time to
get just where he wanted, making no
noise to tell whoever was there that
he was coming.
Peering around the corner Of the
doorway, Uncle Wigily caught sight
OF big mouth, a red tongue and
sharp teeth.
"Oh! it's either the Fox or Wolf
all right" whispered the bunny to
himself. 1 wonder what I'd better
do?"
And just then Nurse Jane, out IN
the garden. cried:
"Oh. Uncle Wiggily! Something
is scorching! Are you using too hot
an iron? Are you burning a hand
kerchief?"
"Ch. my goodness! I left the hot
iron on one Of my best handker-
chiefs and there's a big hole burned
in it," said the bunny to himself. as
he hoped back TO the kitchen. And,
surely enough, this is just what had
happened.
But now know what I can do to
that Fox or Wolff" thought the rab-
bit gentleman. I'll stick the hot iron
on his nose and drive him away"
And. taking the iron in the holder.
to save his paw, Uncle Wiggily hop
ped quickly to the side door, stuck
out the flatiron right on the nose of
the Wolf, as it happened TO be and
cried:
Scat Scoot!"
ooh wow" howled the bad chap
as he scampered away. Il didn't
know Uncle Wiggily was ironing or I
wouldn't have come. On wOw."
And Nurse Jane was so pleased
with the way Uncle Wiggily drove
the wolf away that she never scold-
ed a bit about one burned handker-
chief. And the bunny ironed all the
rest without scorching.
So if the sugar cookie doesn't roll
down hill like a hoop and bump into
the hand organ monkey, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily going fish
