ly. "We could make bonfire,
you and |, Baby Bunty, and roast
apples in it..
- thought it would be something
like this" sighed Nurse Jane.
"YOu are more of child than
ever, Wiggy. Building bOnfires at
your age! And l was going to ask
you to go to the store for me- -
ON gol' quickly offered I'm
Gle Wiggily. What is it you
want 80
Molasses,o answered the musk
rat lady. 81 want to make a mo-
lasses pie
''Then molasses you shall have"
sang Uncle Wiggily, twinkling his
pink nose. "And on the way home
Baby Bunty and L will build
bonfire and roast apples"
So the bunny gentleman and the
little rabbit girl started off, and
in little while they were at the
molasses store.
II thought you were going to
build a bonfire" complained Baby
Bunty.
"I am" said Uncle Wiggily.
"But business before pleasure, you
know. 1t is business to get Nurse
Jane the molasses. Now that we
have it, we shall take pleasure in
building the bonfire. "
So, carrying the jug of molasscs,
Uncle Wiggily and Baby Bunty hop
ped along until they came to
place where there were some wood
and dried leaves. And it was right
on the edge of an apple orchard.
"This is dandy place to make a
bonfire" said the rabbit gentle
man. "You sit down on the grass,
Bunty, and keep out of the way of
burning sparks. LII make the
fire"
Soon the rabbit gentleman had a
cheerful blaze swapping and crack
ing under an apple tree. And
when the fire was blazing hot, he
placed in the glowing embers some
apples that he had picked up off
the ground, apples the farmer man
didn't want.
GLOW long before they will be
ready to eat?" asked Baby Bunty.
"Oh, in about ten minutes, l
guess" Uncle Wiggily answered.
"Ho, Hoi" suddenly cried
harsh voice behind the apple tree.
81 know something that will be
ready to eat in less than ten min
utcs, Ho. Ho!"
''What do you mean?" asked
Uncle Wiggily, before he had time
to think.
~ mean your ears" howled the
voice of the Woozie Wolf, as he
sprang out from behind the tree. ~
am going to nibble your ears and
| am not going to wait ten minutes,
either!D
ooh, my goodnessn shouted
Baby Bunty. And then, being
lively, smart little rabbit girl. in
stead Of fainting as wax doll
would have done, Baby Buhty be-
gan to thing of way to save Uncle
Wiggily's ears.
The Woozie Wolf was just leap
ing to catch the bunny rabbit gen
tleman, when Baby Bunty threw a
lot Of wet leaves on the bonfire.
The wet leaves made lot of thick
smoke, which blew in the eyes of
the bad Wolf.
"Where are you7 Ker-ehoo! Ker-
snoo!" sneezed the Wolf. 81 can t
see you. Uncle Wiggily! Where
are you?"
"Don t say a word" whispered
Baby Bunty, as she pulled Uncle
Wiggily behind cloud cf thick,
white smoke. Keep still and he
can't find us!"
The Wolf went numbering around,
coughing, choking and sneezing,
besides hie-coughing, as the smoke
got in his eyes, but he couldn t
find the bunny rabbit. Then, all of
sudden, Uncle Wiggily looked
through the cloud of smoke and
they saw the end of the VOLTS tail
turned toward them.
