When Uncle Wiggily spoke like
that Nurse Jane knew there was
little use in saying anything more.
But when the rabbit gentleman came
back from the boardwalk store with
big, red bird kite, having flap
ping wings, a tail and everything
the muskrat lady just shifted with
her nose, indifferent-like and con
temptous.

Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh! Oh!n screamed Miss Fuz-

his big claws at her. ''Save ME

Uncle ,Wiggily was far down the
beach, but he heard Nurse Jane s

tossed his bird kite up in the air
He held it by long string. The
wind caught in the wings of the
toy--in the big, red wings. Straight
for the Lobster flew Uncle Wiggi-

was just going to pinch Nurse
Jane, saw the kite coming. He
thought it was real bird.
"Oh, don't let the eagle get

Lobster. III be good! / won t
