UNCLE WIGGTLY AND THE
COLD CLAPrER

Dazie Woggiejig was doing a
funny dance in the Hollow Stump
School to amuSc the animal boys
and girls. The Lady Mouse Teacher
had asked Uncle Wiggily to bring
Dazic to dance and the rabbit gen
tlcman had come early with the lit
tie Woggleiig girl. who was made
Of wooden pegs, a round ball for 4
head and two egg shaped pieces for
. body.
Then, all of a sudden, as he was
whiStling tune while the Lady
Mouse Teacher was playing dance
music on the piano, Uncle Wiggily
saw the Wolf 5 eyes staring in the
Schcolroom window, as l told you
las night
''Well do | know that Wolf is
there for no good, said Uncle Wig
gily, but he kept on whisthng for
lie did not want any of the animal
boys or girls to be worried about
the VOLTS eyes looking in at them.
= hope the Wolf isn't after Dazie,
said the rabbit, taking a second
thought. II She sees has eyes look-
ing at her it may twist her all up
in her dance. Tha; would be too
bad!
All this time Dazic kept oS dane
ing, cutting up the funniest capers
and making Jackie Bow Wow and
his brother Peetie and Lulu Wibble-
wobble and all the other children
laugh so hard "as never was. -
But all the while the Wolf S eyes
kept looking in that window which

laugh. Watch mel" Then, dane,
ing on three legs she kicked her
fourth leg at the window and it hit
the Wolf in his left eye.
"Wow!' howlcd the Bad Chap,
hut he didn't 50 a:Yay.
"Havr another lcg!' said Dazie
and, dancing ON two legs, She
kicked her third one at the Wolf.
This leg hit him in the right eve.
"Zow'' howlcd the Bad Chap.
But still he didn't go away.
Well, You want another leg, |
Scc.' cried Dazie. II can dance on
enc as easily as On two.' She was
going to kick another wooden peg
leg at the Wolf, but he didn't Stav
to let it hit him. Jumping down
from the box, on which he stood
outside the Hollow Stump school
window, looking in, the Bad Chap
ran away.
"Good for you, Dazic." cried
Uncle Wiggily, clapping his paws.
Indeed, she is Il brave little
Wogglejig, - squeaked Miss Mouse.
And not until then did any of the
animal boys and girls know that the
lad Chap had been staring at them
with his Blk eyes. They thought
when Dazie kicked off her legs it
was all part of the dance. And my.
How they checred and laughed when
it was all over.
Then Dazic went home to her
Bungleump, after Miss Mouse pick
ed up her legs, and Uncle Wiggily
started out Of school to go have an
adventure. But the old rabbit gen
tleman had not reached the bottom
Of the outside steps when, all at
once, he heard Il voice calling to him
from up in the air.

called the high voice. "Pleasc take
me with you!'
"Why, who are you'' asked the
rabbit, seeing no one.
- am tn. Cold Clappcr," was
the answer.

World Long Satisfied With Primitive Heat

In the excavations at POmpeii and
Herculaneum no discovery appears to
have been made of anything approach
ing the nature of the modern chin
ney. The earliest mention of the
chimney appears to be an ancient
Venetian inscription over a doorway.
where it is written that in l347 certain
chimneys in that location were demol-
ished by earthquakes. 1t is by con-
lecture only that we are able to say
that the chimney was known in an.
cient Italy. Seneca, who lived during
the First century of our era, invented
species of tube which he affixed
20 the length of the wall, and it seems
TO have run through floors. Through
this the heat passed from subter-
ranean ovens called "hypocausts." of
which remains were found in buried Gel
built on the bay of Naples.
But in this there Is no evidence of
any chimney In the modern sense or
even of any kind of stove. Before
the invention of the chimney. fires
were made in excavations or pits
opened beneath the floor of habita-
lions in about the center Of the room,

to keep her head with so many things

full of their new plans and purchases.
Flora was positive. That lawyer In
Groton had assured her so thorough.
ly. Cynthia began wondering II there
might be something in it. She found
herself signing at the old order OF
things.

Every day the Baxter children en-
iivened the family meals with ac-
counts of the doings of the Coles and
Trenches.
"But the money hasn't been paid
out yet" Cynthia tried to remon-
strate. "They must be buying all
those things on credit"

pouted. 'Won't they have the money
in few days? And in the meanwhile
they are enjoying it. We haven't

looked so downhearted that Cynthia
felt pang. Still she was resolved to
go on as she had begun. Life had
taught her to be cautious.
A few days later the heirs did re-
ceive what was coming to them. 1t
was exactly S153.57 each. 1t was
true that Cousin Abner did leave q
nice little sum of money but the be-
quests were: $4,000 for a monument
to be placed In his family lot; 5000
each to FIVE old friends: $4,000 to
the church his mother was married
from; several other generous legacies

After these had been paid the residue

over and talked it over with Cynthia.
"We're in debt up to our ears"
Hortense moaned. my poor husband
says he never expected to draw an
other free breath as long as he
lives.
Poor Flora was having her troubles.
Her sister-in-law wouldn't speak to
her. Her brother said he would never
forgive her. And she, poor soul, was
left with a lot of expensive clothing,
which would eat up her income for
many a day.

as the Eskimos do today. The hearth
of the ancient Romans was in the
porch, but the fires lighted there were
not designed to make houses habitable
seemingly, but were merely an indica-
ton of hospitality to friends. The

were furnished with firing pan and
bellows carried from room TO room
