''0h, no. answered the Wolf.
with his clubs Uncle Wiggily
goes to the field and takes shots at
Il Ettle white ball 1t is called the
game of go-loll-off.
'.Oh, I know about that game
but it is called gO-looloff,' said
the Bob Cat.
.'You are wrong!' snickered the
Fox. THE game is called go-lill-
loft, and it is something like Gro
quet.
"Well, no matter what the game
is called spoke the Wolf, "Unele
Wiggily plays ii, hitting little
white ball with clubs. Now what
we want to do is to creep softly
I up behind him when he is watch
ing the ball. We can easily catch
him and nibblc his ears.
''Come on!' howled the Bob
Cat. ~ am getting hungrier than
ever
So the three bad chaps-the
Fuzzy Fox, the Woozie Wolf and
| the Bob Cat-went out to catch
the bunny rabbit gentleman.
AS he often did, little later,
Uncle Wiggily started out from
his hollow stump bungalow to play
his game of golf. He took with
him his clubs and his little white
/ ball.
Uncle Wiggily reached green
grassy place in field from where
| he was TO knock the little white
! bah so far as never was-he hoped
Mr.. Longears made a little hill of
sand and put the white ball on
| top of it. Then he took club
with a hard, wooden head, the rab'
/ nit gentleman did, and he goi
ready 10 hit the ball with all his
might.
But, all this while the three bad
chaps had been creeping softly ur
behind Uncle Wiggily, and, just a:
he was ready 10 let drive at the
golf ball the Wolf gave u howl and
said: .~
Zone moment, Uncle Wiggily,
wish TO nibble your ears.'
The rabbit gentleman gave sucf
jump that he nearly lost tn.
J twinkle off the end of his nose.
"Oh YOU are going 10 nibblc my
cars, are vouo'' asked the bunny
gentleman. "Well, before you dr
that, would you please let me have
three shots at my golf ball? | wan
10 see how far l can knock il be
fore you nibble me.
"That is fair enough, sPok
the Fox. "Let him have three
shots, Mr.. Wolf
"Ail right" agreed the Wolf
"But III stand close beside hin
10 see that he doesn't run away.
Uncle Wiggily raised the heav.
beaded driver club in the air. IL
seemed TO bring II down TO hit tn
golf ball, but funny thing hap

Right on the Wolf's nose Cncl
Wiggily hit him.

Uncle Wiggily, gently.
"'IIum! This is rather funny,

Once more the bunny rabbit ger
tleman raised the heavy club. II

and tender nose it hit him.
