fasten that end of the wire.
When evening came all was in readi
ness. Nurse Jane had baked some
chocolate cream cakes, some jam tarts
and pumpkin pies, and they We're ready

gentleman, who had shuffled over
from his cave of ice to listen in.
All of a sudden, when every one was
happy, listening to band playing
fine tune, all at once, in bounced the
bad Bob Cat with his little stump Of
tail.
"Ah, now for some ears to nfbblel "
howled the Bob Cat.
As all of Uncle Wiggny's visitors
had telephones over their ears, they
had not heard the Bob Cat enter. But
there he was.
"Oh. dearl" screamed Aunt Lettie.
and every one took off the telephones
except Aunt Jerpsha Ann, the wood
chuck lady. she kept her telephone
over her ears for she didn't want to
miss any Of the music.
"What do vou want, Bob CatF'
asked Uncle Wiggily.
"'First I IN going to nibble your
ears and then IN going 10 mbble me

the Bob Cat. ~ never saw so many
