to see. I've little errand for you to do. l want you to run down to Farm CT Greens garden and get me fine cabbage" Or maybe he would say something like this: They tell me the peas are ready. Hop down to the | garden patch and pick me a peck or l two!"
 Now, Jimmy Rabbit soon grew tired of doing errands for Uncle Isaac. Uncle Isaac would thank him, and praise him with glowing words But that was all. He never offered Jim my single taste of the good things that Jimmy brought him. So at last one day, when Uncle' Isaac asked Jimmy to go and gather an armful of bark for him, Jimmy told him that he was afraid he hadn't time to help him.
 Uncle Isaac showed at once that his feelings were hurt. And his sister, Mrs. Bunny, exclaimed. Why, Jim my Rabbit! You know you wanA to help Uncle Isaac. He isn't at all well today"
 Its slippery elm that need" Uncle Isaac explained. My cough is worse today. That's the only thing that will cure it.'
 Why don't you go and get it your self?" Jimmy Rabbit asked him.
 What" cried Uncle Isaac. "Me go out in this damp snow? I couldn't do that, yong man. It would be very bad for my cough. If got my feet wet I'd have to spend the rest of the winter in bed" And Mrs Bunny, his sister, told Jimmy Rabbit that he ought to be glad to do an errand of mercy for anybody as i'll as Uncle Isaac was.
 So Jimmy Rabbit went off to gather some bark for the invalid. Indeed Mrs. Bunny said fatly that she wouldn't let her daughter Belinda go out to play unless Uncle Isaac had his bark. She declared that if he didn't get it soon he would need at least two nurses to take care of him.
 It was a long journey to the nearest slippery elm tree. Jimmy Rabbit hadn't travelled far before he made Up his mind that he would give Uncle Isaac something else. He would give him some smartweed, which every body knows is sharp and biting to the tongue.
 Uncle Isaac was very lively in- valid when Jimmy Rabbit returned.
 "Ah-h-h!" he exclaimed, when Jim- my came in with his paws laden with a mass of something or other. Just put it down in the corner. I'll go and put on my slippers and then I'll eat a little of the medicine" He was very fond of slippery elm. sAnd being in great hurry to taste it, he hur- ried off to get his slippers without looking closely at what Jimmy had brought him. As he went out of the room Uncle Isaac turned his head over his shoulder Thank you so much!" he said.
 May go out with Jimmy now ?" Belinda Bunny asked her mother.
 "Yes!" Mrs. Bunny told her "Rut don't stay long. Uncle Isaac may want somebody to go on an errand little later"
 The youngsters had gone when Uncle Isaac came back to his feast. He thrust his paws down into the dark corner and stuffed his mouth full of the smartweed.
 Mrs. Bunny heard untitled shriek.
 Water Water. Help, Help I'm poisoned." cried Uncle Isaac
 Mrs, Bunny tore out of the house and ran to the spring. She was gone only short time. But when she returned she couldn't see Uncle Isaac anywhere. Her husband. however had come home. And he seemed in better spirits than he had been in for half year.
 Where's Uncle 1saac?" Mrs. Bunny asked Mir. Bunny. Has he gone to bed ?"
 Mir. Bunny shook his head.
 "He threw his things into his bag
