UNCLE wIGGILY's WHITE FLAG

"Dear mel" said Uncle Wiggily
to himself one morning as be was
hopping through the woods looking
for an adventure. "This is most
troublesome. I'll have to stop at an
other tree,"
For the jolly old rabbit gentle
man felt most surprising tickling
IN the middle of his back where it
was quite out of reach of any of his
paws, his hind paws or his front
pews.
"Really, 1 must stop and jiggle my
self against a tree" said Mr.. Long
ears. For. there is no need of. irving
to be mysterious about this matter.
You know, as web as | do, If you
have a tickling in the middle of
your back, the only way to get rid
If it is to lean up against a tree
cr the edge Of a door and liggle.
So Uncle Wiggily stopped looking
tor an adventure, just for the mo-
acnt, and glanced around TO pick
out a good tree against which he
could lean with that tickling place
IN the very middle of his back.
az guess it's some fur from my
ovcrcoat that is tickling me-"
thought the bunny gentleman.
At last he found the right kind of
tree, with good, strong, rough bark
and no knobby little branches stick
ing out to poke lroles in him. and
there he started to iiggle to get rid
of the tickling in the middle of his
back. And while he was doing this,
all of sudden, Uncle Wiggilr saw
white flag that seemed to be way
ing at him off through the trees
Gown the woodland trail.
"That must be Boy Scout signal
ling" thought Mr.. Longears as he
stopped away from the kind tree
which made his back feel much bet
.er. ayes, there must be Boy Scouts
out hiking in these woods and they
are making signals with white
flags"
