But Buster and Custer did NOT

the rabbit girls would hardly have

no sooner did the three girl rabbits
see their brothers carrying away the
box than Jingle asked:
"What's in it?"
"Nothing," answered Buster, pay

ADVENTURE

The little, two and three paragraph
news items about air mail pilots that find
their way into the papers occasionally
make it perfectly clear why aviation is
such lure to restless, notwithstanding
young men.
A few days ago dispatch told how a
mail pilot saved his life in southern Mich
igan. He was flying through binding
snowstornl, at night, with no chance to
make safe landing. A parachute jump,
at last. became inevitable He loosened
his safety belt, preparatory to jumping
and promptly fell out of the plane. He
had been flying upside down, withou
realizing it,
His parachute brought him down safe
ly, and he was unnurt. But the picture
that brief dispatch gives one - hostile
night, raging storm, lone pilot flying
blindly, so completely lost that he could
not even tell that he was not right side up

with 2 capital.

When Uncle Wiggily hoped home

having been out in the woods look
ing for an adventure one day he saw
his little boy Buster carrying a box.

Of which the stOrekeeper takes sticks

Wiggily to himself as lie watched

is going TO give some TO Cutie 50 she
will have real candy instead of make
believe in her pretend store"
But while Mr.. Longears watched
Buster he did not seem to be looking
for his sister Cutie. Instead the
rabbit boy found his brother Custer
who was SO very fond of rice pud
ding.
"Now we can play trick on 'em
Custer" said Buster.
"What kind Of q trick2" Custel
asked
"With this box" went on Buster
"Wait until Cutie and Jingle anc

However, Buster and Custe
seemed to be going to do somethin
with the box for they carried il ou
