Since these twins had started the
quarrel which made so much trou-
BILE and sent Uncle Wiggily skipping
away to the woods. it was only fair,
! think, that Jingle and Jangle
should do as much as they could to
make up for their badness; don I
you?
So the bunnies coming home from
school, went to find Uncle Wiggily
in the woods But though they saw
the place where ne had been sitting
on a log, near bush, they saw nc
other sign of Mr.. Longears.
1t was while sitting on this log
that jolly old dog came out OF the
bushes and give Uncle Wiggily the
tickle stick, you may remember But

Wait little.
tWell. guess Unkie Wig must
have gone back to his hollow stump
bungalow" spoke up Baby Bunty
when they had hoped around the
woods a bit longer but had not
found Mr.. Longears.
Eyes, let s all hurry home aad
tell him how sorry we are,' said
Jingle.
Hopping, skipping, walking and
running, the rabbit children hurried
to their bungalow home. Jackie and
Peetie Bow Wow, still chasing then
tails, went to their kennel house tc
gnaw bones.
"Oh, Nurse janet called Baby
Bunty, when she saw the muslTal

"Don't you think-don you
think he III ever come home-ever?'
asked Jangle.
81 don't know answered Nurse
Jane, softly. "It is getting late now
Uncle Wiggily may have had a very
strange adventure in the woods, ard
he may like it better there, where
it is peaceful and quiet, than here
in his bungalow where, sometimes
the rabbits quarrel and pull all the
dishes and cloth off the table,

and Jangle as she said this, bu,

Just the same.
"Oh, we're never going to be bao
any morel" promised Jingle.
Never said Jangle.
Then, all of sudden, Baby Bunty
started to run off toward the woods
"Come backl'' called Nurse Jane
"Where are you going? 1t will soon
be darki Come backp'
81 am going to look for Unkie

"Ohl Oh! Ohi' murmured al
the other little rabbits when they
