filled or pulled at once.
"I'H think about it,, said Uncle
Wiggily, twinkling his pink nose
as he finished his breakfast. He
spoke no more about pain, and
Nurse Jane wondered what he would
do about his tooth. But Uncle Wig
gily said nothing. Taking his hat
and coat off the rack he hopped
from the hollow stump bungalow.
81 IN going adventuring! he
called to Nurse Jane.
''Good luck!' she wished him.
81 hope your tooth doesn't ache! ~
But in spite of this kind wish, no
sooner, had Uncle Wiggilv hoped
about mile, or "A mile and half,
or, perhaps, two miles, then, all of
sudden, he began to feel a terrible
pain in his jaw.
"There s nv tooth achin z

dentist and have him pull it. It's
an old hollow tooth, anyhow"

Now be brave, AS soon as you

to sit in.
Gently, but firmly, Mr. Bear
hooked his claws i'll the collar OF
Uncle Wiggily's coat and pulled
him inside.

tooth, - thought the rabbit.
Just then, along the path trottcd
the Woozie Wolf. He saw Uncle

"Ab, hal" thought the Wolf,

wait for him TO come out. Uncle
Wiggily will feel weak after he has

DR.. Bear put the bunny gentle

But when the rabbit thought of

front door to get away.
