The Wolf sat down in front and
took hold of the steering ropes.
Uncle Wiggily sat down behind the

hill rushed the bob sled. The Wolf
was thinking whether he would first
nibble Uncle Wiggily's left ear or
his right. The bunny rabbit was
wondering how he could get away

Uncle Wiggily with the one sled

BY BERTHA. r.. McDONALD,

~ HODA BROUGHTON had
been assuming the role of
AO ommander-in-chief to Rich
ard DeVereaux, and Dick had
been rallying to her call for many
months. Whether it happened to
be debating the choice of thea
tiers they would attend, the time
they must leave for any given
point, or what they were both to
eat, when ordering in restaur-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS there was a
choice to be made, Rhoda pre-
empted the center Of the stage al

seemed to take particular delight
in making him perform all sorts
of unheafd-of tasks for her
AT first, Dick was so madly in
love with her that he never
thought Of doing other than her
bidding. 1t was pure joy just
to serve her. But as the weeks
heightened into months. Rhoda s
possession of him became so thor
ough that he felt his Individual
ity slipping at times, in a way
that startled him.
An arrogant little Rhoda went
gaily on, never once noting the
danger signals, until the climax
flashed across her horizon like a
crash from an orchestra, all of
whose instruments were out of
tune.
1t came one day when they
went to play tennis at the Coun-
try Club. To begin with, Dick
called for Rhoda wearing q cap
she disliked and she demanded
hof h. -
her brothers caps. This in itself
something in the way she issued
the command, that was the
proVerbial last straw.
OF course Dick refused TO
change caps and Rhoda as natu-
rally resented this unheard OF
interference with her usual sway.
On the way TO the club neither
made any effort to thaw the thin
coating of ice which seemed sud
denly to have formed between
reached their destination they
were barely speaking.
A few sets of tennis, in which
she was victor, however. served to
put Rhoda in a happier frame of
mind and the remainder of the
afternoon passed quite pleasantly.
1t was while Dick was busy
with his car, preparing for their
return home, that one of the girls
made suggestion. why in the
world don't you make Dick
change the way he combs his
hair?" she asked. He'd be so
much better looking If he wore

and that's the very latest for
men now. Billy was tickled to
pieces to change his when he
found out / preferred it back.
Make Dick do it, Rhoda-make
him do 1t now. Here, take my
side comb"
Dick came running up the
steps to the veranda and slouched
comfortably into chair next to
Rhoda, never noticing the storm
clouds which darkened the girls
fair face. Having tasted the fruit
of victory in the game, but
still smarting under her defeat
of the early afternoon, Rhoda
determined to make Dick dance
once more to her music. Further
more, she would compel him to
perform the feat in the presence
of witnesses. Thus should he
paw for not changing cans.
When she first suggested the re-
modelling Of his natural coiffeur,
Dick only laughed. He never
dreamed 1t was anything but a Joke
until Rhoda, glowering at him
from eyes dark with purpose, held
out the comb and said in q loud
strident tone which no one on the
Veranda could have failed to hear
IF you know when YOU are well
off. Dick, you will do exactly as al
say"
