UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
COLD JAY.
By Howard B. GarIs

"Here, Uncle Wiggily" called
Nurse Jane to the bunny rabbit
gentleman one morning as he was
about to hop away from his
hollow stump bungalow. ''As
long as You are going out you
might as we'll take these pieces
Of your old fur overcoat to Mrs.
Twistytail, the pig lady"
what in the world does Mrs,
Twistytail want of the pieces of
my old fur overcoat?" asked
Uncle Wiggily. looking at his new
coat, which he was wearing, as
the day was very cold.
ooh, the pig lady is going to
make n little jacket for Saucakic
Squealer, her baby pig" answered
Nurse Jane. Little pigs, YOU
know, have very thin skin, and
they get cold easily. They don't
have warm fur coats as you and
l have. So when you bought your
new coat l saved the pieces Of
the old one for the poor little
baby pig"
"That was very kind Of you"
said Uncle Wiggily. And, as I
am going to hop past Mrs. Twisty-
tails house today, looking for an
adventure, Ill leave her the fur
pieces"
Uncle Wiggily thrust the bits
OF fur into the pocket Of his new
coat. and hoped away. Over the
fields and through the woods he
went, and all the way he looked
for an adventure. But none could
he find.
at is very sad to think how
scarce adventures are getting"
sighed the bunny rabbit. at
used to be that l didn't have to
hop but a little way from my
bungalow and I'd find half a
dozen. Now I'm lucky If l can
come across one in a whole days
walk. But cheer up! Something
may happen before dark. I'll
whistle a little"
And the bunny rabbit whistled
a right jolly tune. But no sooner
had he done so, twinkling his
pink nose the while, than, all of
a sudden, sad voice cried:
ooh, if that is another bird
singing, will they please take pity
on me and help me?"
Dear mew exclaimed Uncle
Wiggily. Trouble is here! I
am no bird" he went on, "but I
shall be glad to help you, Who
ever you are-that is If you are
not the Woozie Wolf, the Fuzzy
Fox, or the Skillery Scallery Ali
gator" he added, quickly.
II am a poor, cold Blue Jay
Bird" was the sad answer. ~

long ago, when all at once, the

to get me-"
did he?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
mot quite. He caught me in
his paws, but l managed to fly
away. though he pulled off 4 lot
of my feathers. And we Blue
Jays, as well as other winter
birds. need all the feathers we
can get these cold days. Oh,
how l shiver"
This is very sad" said Uncle
Wiggily, as he caught sight of the
poor, shiyering Blue Jay, with
half his feathers gone. but wait
a moment. l Know what I can
do / have a lot of odd pieces
Of fur from my old coat in the
pocket of this new coat. Here,
I'll give you some bits Of fur, as
there are more than Mrs. Twisty-
tail will need for slueakie
Sluealer.'
ooh, thank you" chirpcd the
jay. you are very kind"
pray. do not dwell upon it,

VERSE OF TODAY
THE FIRE-EATER.

The motor crouches by the country road
Behind its glaring headlights When it goes

With purrng thirst and where the headlight showed
A moment past, the seething darkness flows
In blue-back undulating of flight
The monster streams away across the night.
strange fre-eater eating its own fire
In gulping haste; the darkness loses in
Engulfingly, and presses close behind.
The wind goes singing through the vibrant wire
The motor. like flying thing of sin
Goes gulping yellow fire along the wind
strange fire-eating thing without mind

modestly spoke the bunny. Now,
if you take those fur pieces to
my bungalow, and tell Nurse Jane
I sent you, she will make you a
little fur jacket to wear until
your feathers grow in again"
"Oh. I never met any one so
kind" said the Jay. and Uncle
Wiggily, his pink nose blushing
red at this praise, handed over
the fur pieces and hoped away.
Mrs. Twistytail was very glad
to get the other bits of fur with
which to make Squeakie Squealer
a warm Jacket, and she said
Uncle Wiggily had done kind
act in helping clothe the Blue
Jay. When the bunny reached
his bungalow that evening Nurse
Jane had already finished the
little warm fur coat for the cold
Jay.
"And 7 asked him to stay in
our bungalow until his feathers
grow out again." said the musk
rat lady to Uncle Wiggily.
you did quite right He is
welcome to stay as long as he
likes" said the bunny.
And that night, when Uncle
