BILE your eggs, Mr.. Fox. I'll fly off
to your nest and nibble your eggsl
I'm a robber bird; everybody knows
it now, so there's no use pretending
I'm not. I'll fly to your nest and
nibble your eggs"
Off through the woods, a flash
of blue, fled the Jay. Before Uncle
Wiggily could call out and say that
the Fox had no nest and no eggs,
the Fuzzy Creature, with his dust
ing brush of tail, turned and ran
away barking:
Don't you go near my den!
keep away from my den. l haven't
any eggs but with your sharp bill
you may pick my little foxes, Don't
you go near my den, or nest, as
you call it," And the Fox was so
afraid of what the Blue Jay might
do that away he leaped, forgetting
all about Uncle Wiggily's ears, for
which the bunny was very glad.

he came sailing back little later.

now you won't think I'm all bad
will you, after I've helped you like
this?"
There is some good in you"
said the bunny. But please don't
take any more of the Robins
eggs" The Jay promised he would
not, and away he flew to find some
bad bugs to bite. So everything
happened for the best, and IL the

next about Uncle Wiggily and the

SAVAGE LIFE
A Dutchman Tests South Seas

riGs Brunn. albert knopfl
Van zanten is a Dutchman VINO

savage life of the South Sea is
lands and finally marries the
daughter Of a tribal king,
Thus comes Ladrids Brunn, the
Dane, with his bland thesis that
South Sea inland morals are ire
mendously better than those of our
own so-called civilization.
So we are attacked again, We
think, We are interested. And
since in the introduction Mr.
Brunn promises proof of his OAR
ing theory, we read the book.
We read the book, and we sec
that the author has genially trickeo
us. For he doesn't prove his ar
cument, he doesn't make any et'
fort to prove it. If anything, M
proves the contrary, And then We
decide that he must be laughing
at us all the time, that he mas ac'
complished a bit of satire far more
subtle than "a Modest Proposal
There is fascinating travcIoSu'
at the beginning, muddy sensua
debauch in the middle, and abys'

thankful. So many novels grow
