thought you alligatOrs didn't come
out in winter" spoke the rabbit
uncle, disappointed like.
We don't, generally" said the
skillery-scallery chap. But this is
Candlemas Day and ! came out
to look at my shadow, as the bears
and groundhogs do at theirs"
well, did YOU see your shadow,
and are you going back in your
den, so Wen have six weeks more
of winter" asked Uncle Wiggily,
II haven't really looked" the
skillery- -scallery alligator answered.
"In fact [ came to see YOU" and
he glanced very hungrily at Uncle
Wiggily's ears. .
Now, the bunny gentleman knew
what the gator meant; and Mr..
Longears began to think of a way
to fool the bad creature.
"If ! can only scare him enough
he'll go away" thought the bunny.
II wonder how / can? With the
egg beater, perhaps I'll try it,"
so Uncle Wiggily very politely
said:
"If you please, Mr.. PGator, will
you let me finish this cake for
Nurse Jane, before you nibble any
ears?"
ooh, 'spose so,' impolitely
growled the alligator "Then / will
have some cake, also. Go ahead!'
So Uncle Wiggily turned the
handle of the egg beater in his
paws, making 1t rattle loudly
whats that?" asked the gator.
"Oh. I'm just going to beat the
eggs!" said the bunny, pretend
ing to speak very GROSSLY, I'm
going to break them all up and
beat them up and twist them
about and mix them into froth!"
And then Uncle Wiggily spoke
in a different voice like a ven-
triloquist, and made believe the
eggs were talking back to him
And the bunny pretended that the
eggs said:
"oh, please don't beat us!
Please don't break us all up!
Please let us alone!"
"No, sir!" cried Uncle Wiggily
himself. I'm going to beat you
up very hard!" and he ratified the
handle of the egg beater again.
my goodness" whispered the
alligator. Uncle Wiggily is braver
and stronger than | thought! |
didn't know he could beat things
up and break them all to pieces. l
guess I'd better run! I'll call some
other time. when YOU haven't so
many thing to beat. Uncle Wig
gily!" said the gator, as he crawl
ed away.
"Ha! Hal" laughed the bunny
when the bad chap was gone. II
fooled him with the egg beater!"
Then Nurse Jane came back, the
bunny beat the eggs and the cake
was made. And the alligator didn't
have a smitch!
SO If the window shade doesn't
roll up so tightly that it pulls the
rag doll's hair ribbon off the gold
fish, I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily and the potato pusher.

How do you do, Uncle Wis9ily'
croaked the gator.

But then you like cake, Uncle Wig
gily."
Indeed l do" said Mr.. Long
ears. I'll stay and watch you bake
it, Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy."
So Uncle Wiggily set down on a
stool in the kitchen, and all of a
sudden his pink nose twinkled
twice as fast as before because
Nurse Jane, just for fun, put a
dab of flour on it.
"I'll look like a cook, if this
keeps on!" laughed the bunny.
And then, just as Nurse Jane was
getting ready to beat the eggs for
the cake the telephone bell jingled
and she had to run to listen and
find out who it was.
"Oh. good morning, Mrs. Wibble-
wobble!" Uncle Wiggily heard
Nurse Jane say over the telephone.
Hum! There will be a long
talk now" said Uncle Wiggily to
himself. "This cake is likely never
never to be made. | guess I'd bet
ter finish making it myself. All |
need to do is to beat the eggs. I'll
do it,"
So Uncle Wiggily looked around
until he found the egg beater,
which twists and froths the eggs
up into a white and yellow batter.
Then the bunny brought the dish
of eggs in. from the pantry, while
Nurse Jane was still at the tele-
phone.
Mr.. Longears was just going TO
break the first egg when, all OF a
sudden, the back door opened
and in came the skillery- -scallery
alligator.
Glow do you do, Uncle Wig
gily?" croaked the gator, as call
him for short, though, really, he
was quite long,
"Well. | don't do so well since
seeing YOU" spoke the bunny with

(By INC Assoclnted Prss..,

New York, Feb. Dealings in
the stock market today were chief
ly noteworthy for their extremely
light and narrow turnover, total
sales of about 425.000 shares rep-
resenting. almost the dullest fun
session this year.
The sluggish movement was ac-
companied by general impairment
of quoted values which extended
from one to three points in the
prominent issues and rose above
that range in several more specu-
latiye stocks.
News and general developments
hastened the reaction which found
substantial expression in the inn
portant commodity markets, do
mestic money rates and virtually
the entire range of International
remittances.
Lowest quotations were register
ed in the final hour, the setback
being concurrent with another rise
in call money from Z to per cent,
this encouraging the bears to ex-
tend commitments. ......
All leading rates of foreign ex-
change moved in favor of this cen
ter, the reaction from recent gains
being attributed to dissatisfaction
of European interests over the
terms outlined by the reparations
commission.
Weakness of industrials and
Liberty issues, especially the lat
ter, was the feature of the bond

"Oh. I'm just making a cake"
said Nurse Jane.
