going and coming and one says it
does and the other says it doesn't.
What can it be? l guess I'll wait
about my lollypop adventure to see
what is going on here"
Going softly to the door of the
dining room, Mr.. Longears saw the
two little rabbit girls taking some
cookies off a side table. And
Jingle said:
we may have to wait long
time so we'd better take along
something to eat"
"Oh, Surel' agreed Jangle. I'VE
don't want to be hungry
This is very strange" thought
Mr.. LongearS, who was hiding be-
hind the door where he could not
be seen. They must be going to
look for an adventure as l do.
That's what it must be. They think
adventures come and go, and they
must have heard me speak of them.
Jingle and Jangle are going to
look for an adventure and they are
taking cookies with them to eat
while they wait. Hal Ha! I'll fol-
low the little tykes to see that no
harm comes to them"
Uncle Wiggily waited behind the
door until he heard the two little
rabbit girls hop down the front
steps. Then keeping short dis
tance back of them, where they
would not see him, Mr.. Longears
followed along. Soon Jingle and
Jangle were hopping across a field.
A little later they were going
through the woods.
But" thought Uncle Wiggily to
himself, they are going too fast
to get an adventure. In hunting
adventures one must take it easy
or they may pass by before you
see them. I must tell my twins
how to hunt adventures. For that
is what they are after, think"
On and on hoped Jingle and
Jangle. Now they were going up
a hill toward the top and Uncle
Wiggily followed, saying to him
self:
Il wonder why they are going
up on the hill top? 1 never knew
there were any adventures up
here"
Reaching the top of the hill the
rabbit girls stopped and began to
look about with their bright eyes.
Uncle Wiggily hid behind a bush
where he could see them and hear
what they said:
'"There!" exclaimed Jingle, Il
told you it didn't go anywhere.
You can't see it comingl"
oh, it must be coming, for Dad
dicums said so!' cried Jangle.
Look, maybe this is it, See! There
near that stump where the leaves
are rustling. Oh, here it comes!"
We'll, 1 never thought it looked
like a bearl" said Jingle. "Oh, 1
don't like it at all! Go aWayl"
And Uncle Wiggily saw big, black
Bear rushing at the two little rabbit
girls. But Uncle Wiggily was
brave. So he growled like a Po-
lice Dog and threw stone at the
Bear, hitting him on his soft and
tender nose and the Bear, thinking
he was going TO be arrested, shuf-
fled off as fast as he could.
"Oh, Daddicums! How glad we
are TO see you!" cried Jingle and
Jangle on top of the hill when
their father hurried out to take
care of them.
I'm glad to see you," said Mr..
Longears. You had strange ad-
venture up on the hill. Is that
what you came to see come and
go?"
"Oh, mol" laughed Jingle. "We
heard you say you were going to
watch the Old Year go and the
New Year come, SO we climbed to
the top Of the hill to see them. We
didn't want an adventure, we just
wanted to see the New Year come"
Hal Hal" laughed Mr.. Longears.
We'll, that is something you can't
see. But I'm glad I saw you COM
ing here or 1 would not have fol-
lowed TO drive away the bear. 1t
will not be New Years until Fri
day and then you can't really see
it, though it does come as the Old
Year goes"
Then the twins ate their cookies,
