UNCLE WIGGLY's QUEER RIDE

Uncle W.gEily was running
through the woods, trying to set
away from the chasing Bob Cat.
The rabbit gentleman carried q
chair. which ne had taken to the
hop 10 have a new seat put in. He
also carried Johnnie Bushytail's roll
Ter skates. which ne had taken to
the toy shop to have new wheels
put or.
The only way to get away from
this Bob Cat said the rabbit gen.
tleman, as he stopped for a mo-
ntnt behind a big rock, where the
Fad Chap could not see him, the
only way Is to make a rolling chair
and ride doWnhill n it. For in a
rolling chat I can go much faster
than by hopping or running. lust
as boys and girls can roller skate
faster than they can walk or run.
And. luckily" murmured Mr.. Long
ears, L VIII soon come 10 q hill. I
can coast down it in the rolling
chair and soon be safe in my
bungalow.
Nov, Of course, you have guessed
how Uncle Wiggily made a rolling
chair OUT . the straight-legged one

strong. And we're going to have
a queer ride together, you and I.
Mr.. Chair" said the rabbit.
laughing.
The Bob Cat was now very close.
But before he could reach out with
his claws and catch the rabbit, Mr..
LongeaIs gave his chair q push and
down the Hill he went rolling as
nicely as if he were on a sled upon
a snowy hill
Hey! What's the idea? Come
back here" hOWled the Bob Cat as
he saw Mr.. Longears shooting away
from him as the chair with the
rabbit in it rolled down the hill.
No fair! You didn't tell me you
were going to take q ride
why should 1 tell you?' asked
dr. Longears, looking back at the
Bob Cat on top OF the hill. You
didn't tell me you were going to
chase me, either. Ha! Ha! I'll be
seeing you later!'
I'm not going to give up YETI
howled the Bad Chap. 7 can run
down hill as fast as you can roll in
that chair, guess
We'll see, SAID Uncle Wiggily.
Faster and faster he rolled, having
a queer ride down hill. The chair
was Just right for sitting in. And,
though the Bob Cat ran his fastest
and howled, yowled and scowled,
ne could not catch the rolling
rabbit.
Down, down. down the hill rolled
Uncle Wiggily in his roller skate
chair, leaving the Bob Cat farther
and farther behind until. at last.
Mr.. Longears rolled safely to a stop.
Just like an airplane, beside the
front stoop.
What a queer way to ride
home!" said Nurse Jane, who was
sweeping the stoop. Why did you
coast down in a rolling chair?"
ITO get away from the Bob Cat!'
said Mr.. Longears. Then Nurse
Jane shook her broom at the Bad
Chap and he turned back and ran
up the hill and Mr.. Longears gave
Johnnie the mended skates and
took the mepded chair in the dining
room to supper. So everything was
all right.
