UNCLE WIGGILY
The Story of the Carrots
By HOWARD R. CARS

And viii she give my brother
Jackie some?" went on the little
puppy dog chap. anxiously.
Why. OF counsel" said the bunny
uncle. us there anything else you'd
like TO ask, Peetie?"
"Well-er-do you s'pose-I mean
do you think-er-that isl like
carrot jam, too" stammered Peetie.
Bless your wagging tail, you shall
have some!" laughed Uncle Wiggily.
he was just going TO pick up the
pile OF sharp pointed carrots, and
start home with them when, all of
sudden. there was rustling in the
bushes and the bunny gentleman and
doggie boy saw the bad old Fuzzy
Fox in the carrot field. But, as yet
the Fox had not sen Mr.. Longears or
Peetie.
"Oh no." howled the fox to him

can see his tracks in the soft dirt.
Well, it will be easy for me TO ind
him. and when 1 do oh, how will
nibble his ears!''
With that the fox began 10 fol-
low the rabbits tracks straight to-
ward the bush behind which Uncle
Wiggily and Peetie were hidden.
"Oh, he's coming after US" whim-
pered Peetie.
Keep still and perhaps he may
pass by" whispered Uncle Wiggily.
But the bad Fox came on and on,
closer and closer. Then Peetie had
bright idea.
Uncle Wiggily." softly said the
doggie boy, Il have my Indian bow
with me. and can shoot that Fox. ."
But you have no arrows" said
the bunny uncle.
THE sharp pointed carrots will be
the best arrows in the world" went
on Peeue. III cut the top off a car

and shoot"
well. try It," whispered Mr..
Longears.
The Fox was coming closer and
closer. Peetie nibbled the green top
/ off the yellow carrot. and, fitting the
vegetable arrow to his bow, the dog
gle boy pulled back the string as far
as he could.
"Twang!" went the cord, as he let
go. Away sped the carrot arrow, the
shorp point in front. 1t struck the
Fox in his soft and tender ribs.
ooh! OH howled the bad chap.
There must be Indians with bows
and arrows around herei They are
shooting me! I'll get Uncle Wiggily
some other time!" Then away he
han, while Peetie shot another carrot
arrow after him.
So the Fox didn't get the bunny
after all, and when Nurse Jane
made the carrot jam Peetie had two
slices of bread covered with it. and
/ he was very happy.
And if the cocoanut cookie doesn't
roll down hill after the baby carri-
age and try to tag the rag doll, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily
and the turnips.
