Uncle Wiggily and Susie said "hel-
lo,' in jolly fashion, and then they
hopped on a little farther. They were
crossing little brook when, alt of a
sudden, Susie gave a scream and jump
ed back so quickly that she nearly fell
off the bridge over the brook.
"What S Tie mattcr?' asked Cuclc
Wiggily, who caught the little rabbit
nirl bv her ears Just III time to save
her from falling H. the water. ''What :

Susie "He darted right at me. He

and Susie covered her ears with her
paws as the big green insect, his wings
shining like rainoows, again dartcd
near her.
"Nonsensc,n laughed Uncle Wiggily
"That s only Dragon Fly. True, he
is often called a Darning Needle, but
he doc osn t darn, though i believe Nurse
Jane wishes he did when she sees the
holes in her socks. And he doesn 7
sew up ears He only catches bad bit
ing bugs, like mosquitoes, and then
there aren t so many to nip us

Dragon Fly, as he fitted near the
bunnies "Of course l don II sew up
cars, and | wouldn t hurt you or Susie

conf murmured Susie. "Then | IN
not going to be afraid of you. Mr..
Dragon Fly" and she watched the
beautiful insect fit about.
Just then, all of sudden, out from
under the bridge came sneaking the
bad old Bob Cat, with tasscls on his
ears. The Bob Cat was hungry. Closer
and closer he came to Uncle Wiggily
and Susie, and they did not see the bad
chap as they had their backs toward
him.
But, all at once, Uncle Wiggily ana
Susie heard the Dragon Fly buzz;
"Away with you! Away with yau,
Bob Cat! Don't you dare hurt Uncle
Wiggily or Susie.
The two bunnies turned in time to

cried:
"Oh, don I sew me up! Don h sew me
up! Don't sew the tassels fast down
over my ears, Darning Needle! / II be
god! Don't sew smo up!" and away
he ran, not hurting the bunnies at all.
"Ha! Hail. laughed Uucle Wiggily.
"Thank you, Mr.. Dragon Fly. 1t is u
good thing for us that the Bob Cat was
so silly as to believe you could sew up
