perhaps I can open a window and
jump OUT thought Uncle Wiggily,
hopeful like. Or, maybe the back
door is open"
But the back door, which M
Longears tried after he had found
the front door locked, also was
tightly closed. He couldn't get out
that way, either.
I'll try a window he decided.
There must be a window on the
first floor, for I wouldn't dare jump
out OF a second story window
But once more, alas Uncle Wig
gily found he could slip back catch
Oh low window but when he op-
ened it he couldn't jump out as
there was a heavy screen of wire
outside the window. He could nei-
ther break the screen. push it out,
or bite through it.
Dear me! What shall I do to
get out?' thought poor Uncle Wig
gily.
All at once he had an idea. He
ran to the front hall where a rope
dangled through hole in the CELL
ing. 1t was the rope which, when
pulled rang the school bell.
I'll ring the bell now and give
the alarm" said Uncle Wiggily.
When Mr.. Rat, who doesn't live
far from the school, hears the bell
he will come and let me out. He
will remember he locked me in
Uncle Wiggily pulled the rope.
Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding
dong!" rang the bell
Maybe they'll think the school
is on fire. chuckled the bunny.
He wasn't afraid of being locked
in, for it was still daylight.
All of a sudden the front door
opened. 1t was unlocked by MI.
Rat. With him was the Police Dog.
Why its only UnC/ Wiggily"
said the Police Dog.
Where's the Bad Chap?' asked
Mr.. Rat.

Of the Bad Chaps was after you,
so I locked the school, ran away
and got the Police Dog. Just as
got back with him I heard the bell
ring. 1 thought you were ringing
it fer help. Where's the Bad Chap?"
There isn't any. I tell you,

man
AS he played, he sang. AT least he
called it practicing singing. though
little while before, Mr. Stubtail.

rabbits singing sounded to him
more like bowling.
Even after Uncle W.gg::y mad
eaten some sweet honey that Mr.
Stubtail got for hir1. out of a tree
where there was a wild bees nest,
the bear still SAID the bunny's sing

So, on the advice of Mr. Stub

there was a piano Mr.. Longears
thought he could practice after the

"Oh, yes" the rat had said when
Uncle Wiggily told him what he

That is what Uncle Wiggily was
doing. He was singing:
