asked the rabbit gentleman. "Do

for bird has no ears that any one
can see, since they are hidden under
his feathers. And birds don't, as n
rule, use soap when they take Il
bath.
The reason I want you with
me when l go to the brook sang
Mr.. Robin, "is because when l am

if any bad eats or other hungry

cats or other bad chaps"
After Uncle Wiggily had kept
guard while Mr.. Robin bathed in
the brook, the rabbit gentlems Il
called in Mr.. Twistytail, the strong
pig gentleman, and Uncle Butter,
the goat, who was also strong, and
the three of them took very
large clam shell and set it TN top
of a stone post which they set up
in the middle of Uncle Wiggily s
lawn.
The clam she'll was filled with
clean water and down flew the
Robin. the Starting, the Blue Jay.
the Sparrow, the Wren. all the
Warblers and the Brown Thrushes
to splattcr and dash in the new
bath. They had no fear, for no
sooner did hungry cat try to
sneak up on the bathing birds than
the hungry animal was at once
seen, not being able to hide behind
trees or under bushes. And as soon
as tue Sot was seen, All tHc DlTuS
cried
"Cat! Cat! Cat coming!" and
they flew away in safety, which
they could not have done had they
been bathing near the tangled
vines at the edge of the brook. 50
they all thanked Mr.. Longears for
making them such fine bath and
they splattered and dashed the
water to their hearts content.
And that night the Wolf thought
he would sip Slylv up and catch
Mr.. Longears. But the night was
dark and before he knew it, that
Wolf bumped kerbang into the
splatter dash bird bath and sprayed
water all over himself until he
thought it was raining.
Il must run home and get my

of course by that time the bunga-
low doors were locked and he
eouldn t get in. So this teaches us
it is a beautiful thing to make
