Trade-Mark Registered. WHALE, WHO TOOK THE BOB CAT OFF TO JAIL. I. One sunny day Uncle Wfggfly saw a little mouse boy creeping along the road with a can. "What have you «n that can, Jollie, my boy?'' asked the rabbit. "Fish bait," squeaked Jollie, "I'm going fishing!'" Uncle Wiggily laughed and said: "I'll go with you. So the bunny went fishing with Jollie. "Why have you the wheelbarrow ?" isked Mr. Tivistytail 'To wheel my fish home." said Uncle Wiggily. 4. "Splash!" All of a sudden Mr. Twistytail fell into the water. "Wuffi Wuff!" he grunted." "Get me out, Uncle Wiggily! Get me out!" "My goodness!" cried the bunny-, "you'll drive the fish a mile away!'* But he was kind to the pig gentleman, and hooked him in the trousers. "Pull, Jollie!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "We'll make believe we have caught a whale'" Mr Twistytail cried: "Oh, save mel" t. The pig gentleman looked around as he kept on wheelbarrowing the fish toward the water. "What's the matter, Uncle Wiggily?" he grunted. "I caught that fish and want to take it home!" said'the bunny. "1 want to show it to Nurse Jane." Suddenly out popped the Bob Cat. "Yon come to n-iy home!" he howled at the bunny. "I want to show you to my little Bob Cats}" The tish gasped: **Zhjmp> Zlump!" 2. "Ha! Ha!** laughed the pig gentleman. "Do you expect to catch a wheelbarrow full of fish ?" Uncle Wiggily said he might. "I'll come along and watch!" grunted Mr. Twistytail. When they reached the brook the rabbit gentleman began to fish. But Mr. Twistytail stood on his head in the wheelbarrow and sang, making Jollie laugh. "Please don't make so much noise. You'll scare the fish!".said-Uncle Wiggily. Pictured by LANG CAMPBELL fc^' y*"' gM W' S. UAU right," grunted Mr. Twistytail with a jolly smile. '"If you don't want me to sing I'll come and watch you fish!" He jumped out of the wheelbarrow and went to the edge of the brook. "Who will catch the first fish ?" grunted the pig. "I think I have a bite!" whjs* pered Jollie. Mr. Twistytail leaned over too far, to see, and, all of a -sudden, he began slipping Mlook, Uncle Wiggily!" squeaked Jollie. pm 5. At last Mr. Twistytail, dripping wet, was pulled from the brook. "Thank you for saving me, Uncle Wiggily," he grunted. "That's all right," spoke the bunny. "Better lie down in the wheelbarrow and keep quiet for a while." So Mr. Twistytail went to sleep. All of a sudden, Jollie cried: "I've caught a fish!" and he pulled up a little one. "I've caught a whale'" shouted the rabbit. Out flapped a big fish! 6. All of a sudden the big fish slipped off the silver hook of Uncle Wiggily's line. "Flop!" and the fish flapped right Into Mr. Twistytail's face. "Oh, gug! Wug! Gurra! Gazinka!" grunted the pig as he suddenly awakened. "Oh, you poor fish!" grunted the pig. "You want to get back in the brook! Ill put you there!" Mr. Twistytail began wheeling the fish toward the water. "Stop! Stop I" cried the bunny. 8. "Yes, you must come along to my den!" growled the Bob Cat as he caught hold of the rabbit's ears and pulled him. "Oh, won't somebody please do something!" squeaked Jollie Longtail. "Yes, I will!" gasped the fish. Suddenly, he flopped off the wheelbarrow and caught hold of the Bob Cat's trousers. "Hi, skippie!" howled the bad chap. "What are you doing?" The fish said: "You need a bath! Come onr 9. The big fish that Uncle Wiggily had caught was strong as a whale, and when he pulled the Bob Cat that Bob Cat simply had to go whether or not he wanted to. "You don't mind if 1 jump back in the brook, do you, Uncle Wiggily?" asked the fish. "Oh, of course not,"' said the kind bunny. "In we go!" gasped the fish, and into the water he flopped with the Bob Cat. That was the end of Unde Wiggily's fishing.
