and then they ran to the spring Of
water not far from their tree house.
"Seel What did I tell you'll yelled
Billie, as he pointed to the spring
Its frozen over with ice"
Then how are we going to get
out any water?" asked Johnnie.
Wen break the ice," his brother
told him. Get a stone!"
Throwing stone after stone on the
ice soon broke the crystal covering
of the spring and the squirrel boys
could dip the pail In and scoop up
some water. They were carrying
the dripping pail of water between
them when along hoped Uncle
Wiggily, coming out of his hollow
stump bungalow with his pink,
twinkling nose.
"Ah, ha! Good boys, my little
squirrels!" called the rabbit gen.
tleman. Il suppose you are taking
a pail of early morning water to
some poor old lady animal who
can't get any for herself
mo, Uncle Wiggily," answered
Johnnie. I'VE are taking this water
to pour on the hill back Of our tree
house"
why are you doing that?" asked
Mr.. Longears. rs the hill SO
thirsty that you must carry water
to it?"
"Oh. no." chartered Billie.
Though if we knew of some poor
old lady bug who was thirsty we
would carry water to her"
But we are taking the water to
the hill to make a slippery slide" !"
explained Johnnie. I'VE are going
to pour the water on the hill so it
will run down and freeze into ice
as this is a cold day. And when we
come home from school we'll have
a slippery slide of ice on the hill"
That's finep said Uncle Wiggily.
'As 1 have nothing to do this morn
ing, I'll watch you make the slide.
And, as that pail of water is heavy,
I'll help you carry it."
No sooner said than done. and
soon the water was trickling down
the hill, freezing as it trickled The
squirrel boys watched it for a
while and then as the bell rang
in the Hollow Stlmp School, Billie
cried to his brother:
Come on Run or we'll be late
and the Lady Mouse Teacher won't
like that! Come on, Rum"
So Billie and Johnnie ran to
school and Uncle Wiggily stayed to
watch the ice freeze on the slippery
slide. Soon the hill was covered
with a hard film of ice that
sparkled in the sun. Mr.. Long
ears looked at it and said:
II don't believe Johnnie and
Billie will mind if take slide on
their hill. Pm sure they wouldn't.
So here goes!"
Uncle Wiggily stood at the top
of the hill. He stepped out on the
ice and then, all of a sudden, his
paws slipped from beneath him, he
fell and down he went, sliding all
the way to the bottom of the hill on
his back, kicking his paws in the
air and trying to stop himself. But
it was of no use. All the way to
the bottom of the hill coasted the
rabbit gentleman on his back. AT

to recount some of his experiences
during the transcontinental race Of
a generation ago. Tuesday morn
ing, "Old Scout" will be driven
across the Mexican border, where
it will touch foreign soil the first
time in its lengthy career. Despite
its 81 years and an estimated total
mileage of 100000 miles, the worlds
Oldest active automobile has con-
fined its travels TO United States
roads and trails.
Race Notable One
The race which odd Scout and
Huss won and which they now are
commemorating in the form of a
good roads tour of America. was
the epic event of a generation ago.
1t had all the glamor. romance and
adventure of the first world plane
flight 1t was proposed by the
United States bureau of public
roads to awaken America to its sad
lack of highways. The proposal
aroused a storm of protest that the
race would be dangerous and fool
hardy, but it stirred venturesome
young America, 5000 of whom ap-
piled to drive the cars. Huss was
named to pilot "Old Scout" and
Percy F. Megargel, prominent Buff
falo, N. Y. sportsman, to drive
"Old Steady the competing ma
chine, a similar OldSmobile.
The two cars left New York City
May 8, 1905. Immediately the race
became matter of national inter-
est with the papers reporting its
daily progress. The cars ran evenly
until they reach central Nebraska,
when old Scout" took the lead.
The road conditions were appalling
and the racers endured innumer-
able hardships. "Old Scout" was
the first car seen in hundreds of
communities; the first to traverse
most of the western states, and the
first ever to conquer the Cascades.
"Old Scout and Huss won the race
by reaching Portland IA DAYS after
the start and eight days ahead OF
Odd Steady" The victory made
them national heroes.
"Old Scout" now is on the last lap
of its 1881 journey, during which 1t
