hop along, Bunty.'
Uncle Wiggily took his umbrella
from the hall and hung it on the
wrist of his paw by the crooked
handle. This left his paw free to
take hold Of Bunty's paw so the
little orphan bunny would not
stumble and fall. In this way
they went along together until
they came to a store that sold
needles and pins and, then all of
a sudden Bunty said:
"Oh, just happened to think!
Nurse Jane asked me to get her
a spool of thread if I passed

chance to get it."
Surely" agreed Mr.. Longears.
SO Bunty bought Nurse Jane the
spool Of thread, bright red in color.
Now Bunty had both her paws
full, one held the thread and the
other held Uncle Wiggily's paw.
AS for Mr.. Longears, one Of his
paws was filled with Buntys paw
and the other paw of the rabbit
gentleman soon was filled also, for
he stopped in a store to buy
story book to read to his children
that night.

Of Ba'tiste. Shad treated her to lem
onade and she promised not to tell
anyone that she had seen him.
One day Bumpy Brown came out
and sat in his accustomed place on
the corner at Amity Dam. Shad went
out of the store for a look at him.
Old Bumpy was in an advanced stage
of inebriation. He was muttering,
Rascal" DIRTY sneak!" and like
words of bitter scorn. AS Shad ap-
preached the old man looked at him
and nodded with smile. He was
about sixty years Of age.
Hello, boy!" he said.
Bunny Brown was not often drunk
Three or four times in summer he
went on a spree and when that hap
pened he came always to Amity Dam.
He was then SO harmless and quiet
that no one interfered with his pleas

Shad was deeply interested in the
curious man. He had to hurry back
to the store. As he left, the drunkard
called out laughingly: "And there
lay round upon the ground great heaps
Of so'gers."

not agree with the sentiment Of the
countryside. While people thought

Mrs. Blake was a kindly comely
woman about forty years Of age. The
blond, blue-eyed girl was dressed for

Shad was blushing. He and the girl
had taken a quick survey Of each

young have a special gift for that.
Shad thought that next to q spotted
