''Hop along with you,' said
/ Nurse Jane with a smile. 'EYou are

because you think you will have
raisin pie for lunch" But she was
/ pleased nevertheless, and took up
the pasteboard box of raisins to
! sprinkle some in the pic.
! But Nurse Jane never put the
raisins in.
The reason for this was. that,

"All right, do it," said Nurse
Jane, as she hurried over to the

he popped the pie into the oven.
Uncle W.ggily thought he put

that was this. When he went to
the door to see Nurse Jane safely
down the steps. the box of raisins
was left on the kitchen table. And
just then, under the window, passed
an old tramp dog.

oae-and dropped the brown pb

Wiggilv, not knowing this, of course
put the stones in the pie.
