hey hunted for the hall.

flies were sitting on his silly little
tail. Fishing, Hoi Hol That shows
how much you know about it"
That's right" chimed in the Fox.
Anybody except a Woozie Wolf
would know Uncle Wiggily was cut
ting grass"
No, he isn't cutting grass, either, -"
mewed the Bob Cat THAT shows
how much you know about it." And,
having made sure there were no
flies on his tail, the Bob Cat sat
down in the grass on top of the hill
again AS a matter of fact, the Bob
Cat had such a silly little tail, no
bigger than the littlest finger on
baby's hand, that it would have
been a very small fly who could
have found room to sit. But enough
Of that
DO you mean to say" growled
the Wolf, that Uncle Wiggily isn't
fishing?'
No he isn't fishing" mewed the
Bob Cat.
And do you mean to say" asked
the Fox, that he isn't cutting
grass?"
NO. he isn't cutting grass"
mewed the Bob Cat.
"Oh, you must be mistaken" said
the Fox. L can see him swishing
at the tall grass stems with some
thing long"
That's a golf club mewed the
Bob Cat, who was smarter than he
looked, even if he had silly little
tail.
What does Uncle Wiggily do with
golf club?" asked the Wolf.
Golf is a game" went on the
Bob Cat. II have often seen rab-
bit and big gentlemen play it. They
knock balls around with club and
then they chase after them and
knock the ball again.
Very silly, I calls it." said the
Wolf, speaking Cockney like.
rs Uncle Wiggily knocking ball
noW?" asked the Fox.
NO" mewed the Bob Cat look
ing with rather a fishy eye down
at the rabbit gentleman. Il should
say he had lost a ball and he is
looking for it."
Then this is just the time to
catch him." cried the Wolf.
"Surel" agreed the Fox.
For once you are right" agreed
the Bob Cat. while Uncle Wiggily
is looking for his lost golf ball he
will think of little else. So we may
sneak up on him. But, mind, 1 get
the first nibbles.'
How Gomez" asked the Fox
We'll" mewed the Bob Cat,
wasn't I the only one who knew
what he was doing-looking for
lost golf ball?'
That's so" agreed the Wolf.
Wen let him have first nibbles."
The three Bad Chaps sneaked up
on Uncle Wiggily, who was SWITCH
ing his club around in the tall grass,
bending the stems over SO he might,
perchance, find his lost golf ball.
We have you'll cried the Fox, the
Wolf and the Bob Cat as all three
grabbed the rabbit gentleman. In
Gle Wiggily quickly stopped down
but it was too late. They had him.
Uncle Wiggily was caught at last.
But don't worry. Read on and learn
about the trick ne played.
Yes, I guess you have me- sad
ly said the rabbit. But before you
nibble me will you help me find my
lost golf ball? l don't want to be
nibbled before find it. Please help
me look for it."
That's fair enough said the
Bob Cat. Let go of him, boys, and
weIl help him find the ball. Then
we'll nibble him" So the three Bad
Chaps hunted around in The tall
grass for the lost ball. Hour after
hour passed but they couldn't find
it. Nor, seemingly, could Uncle
Wiggily. At last it grew dark
II am very sorry, gentlemen"
said the rabbit, but you can't seem
to find my lost ball So let's all go
home and meet here tomorrow and
have another look. Remember you
promised not to nibble me until you
found the lost ball"

the Bob Cat. So the Bad Chaps
went their way and Uncle Wiggily
hoped safe TO his bungalow. And
on his way home Mr.. Longears took
from his pocket the lost golf ball.
He had found it and had put it in
his pocket just as the Bad Chaps got
him SO it all happened for the
best, and if the fiye-cent piece will
