out in the yard near one of her
| clothes posts. The bunny gen.
/ tleman had stepladder with
/ him. also some pieces of wood
and tin and hammer.
What in the world are you
doing, Uncle Wiggily?" asked the
muskrat lady. Are you going to
make another automobile?"
"Oh. moi" laughed the rabbit
uncle. I'm just going to put one
of those wind arrows on your
clothes post. 1t won't harm the
clean clothes any,"
II know you wouldn't do any
thing like that" said Nurse Jane
with smile that made her
whiskers jiggle. But will you
please tell me what in the world
is wind arrow?"
Its an arrow made of wood,
or tin or something like that. to
tell which way the wind is blow
ing" said Uncle Wiggily.
But what good does it do TO
know which way the wind is
blowing?" asked Nnrse Jane.
why, it does lots of good"
answered Uncle Wiggily. giving a
sideways twinkle to his pink nose.
IF you look out and see the wind
arrow pointing to the north, that
means a cold north wind is blow
ing, and you wear fur coat. If
you see the arrow pointing to the
east, you know 1t Is going to rain
and you take an umbrella"

ing to be warm and you put or
your thin Clothes" the bunny
answered. "And If the wind ar.
row points to the west you know
the day will be sunny and fail
and you take a parasol to make
shade"

the bunny. II am going to pu

lady housekeeper. as Uncle Wig.
gily climbed the, step ladder tt
fasten on the sharp-pointed ar.
row, made of wood and tin. i
whlrled on a pivot like a merry
go-round. Finally it was fast
ened in place and by this time
evening had come.

said the bunny. "As soon as
; awaken I will look at my wine
arrow and see what sort Of day
it is going to be-"
"Very good" spoke Miss Fuzz,
Wuzzy, but to herself she though
1t rather funny. When Uncl'

the first thing he did was to lool
out of the window at his arrow.

"Ill need my fur coat. 1t will b,
