OVER THE SPARKLING SNOW. T6Xt by HOWARD R. GARIS THE WOLF AND BEAR FULLED OUT THEIR HAIR! THEY Author of the Famous uncle wigcily bedtime stories WERE SO VEXED. YOU KNOW« AND NO WONDER. Pictured by LANG CAMPBELL i. One* day, after Uncle Wiggily had seen a picture of a toboggan sled, the rabbit gentleman exclaimed: "I'm going to. make one myself and take Nurse Jane coasting!" The muskrat lady said she didn"t think he could. "I'll show you'" cried the bunny. "Let me take your old Ironing board." With this, and half of a cheese box for the curved front end, Uncle Wiggily made a tine toboggan. "Hurray!" he cried. u., 4. But before the Wolf and Bear reached the bunny and his housekeeper, Uncle Wiggily pulled himself out of the snow, and then he pulled out Nurse Jane. "Are you hurt ?" he asked. "Not much," she .answered. "Get on the toboggan," said the rabbit, "and I'll pull you to the top of the hill. We can coast down again." But, half way up, along came the Wolf and Bear. "We want to talk to you!" they said. 7. That was the trick the bad chaps were going to play. Once they had Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane on the toboggan, the Wolf and Bear were going to steei them down another Hill Into a dismal den. Off they started, going faster and taster, but on a different hill than the one down which the rabbit had coasted. All of a sudden the Bear saw a tree in front of him. "Look out! We'll bang into iti" cried the Wolf. 2. "Now come out to the hill with me and I'll give you a toboggan ride, Nurse Jane!" said the bunrvy "Do you think it will be sale'" asked Miss Fuzzy W'uzzy "As safe as clams," answered the rabbit. So he took Nurse Jane on a tine coast down the hill. Out of the woods crept the Wolf and Bear. "We must play a trick on Uncle Wiggilv and nibble his ears'" growled the Wolf "Right you are'" said the Bear 3. All of a sudden, while Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane were going fast, over the sparkling snow, the toboggan hit a bump and bounced up into the air "Oh my goodness'" squealed Nurse Jane. "Something is going to happen'" cried the bunny And it did They were tossed off into the snow "Now is our chance!" said the Bear to the Wolf "Let's run down and nibble them both'" So down.they ran. 5. "What is that you said ?" asked Ungle Wiggily of the bad chaps. "We want to talk to you," went on the Bear '•! think you want to nibble me!" spoke the bunny. "Oh, no'" cried the Wolf and Bear, but they did not speak the truth. "We want to pull you to the top of the hill," said the Wolf. Not knowing what else to do, Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane sat on the toboggan. The Wolf and Bear pulled them. 6. "What do you think they're going to do ?" whispered Nurse Jane to Uncle Wiggily. "1 don't know," answered the bunny. To the surprise of the rabbit and muskrat, the Wolf and Bear pulled them to the top of the hill without biting them. "Now we are going to ride and also give you a ride," spoke the Bear. So they all sat on the tobofgUL "We'll ride them down to our den'" whispered the Wolf to the Bear M !t: r i ii i ir 8. Uncle Wiggilv, looking over Nurse Jane's shoulder as he sat behind her on the toboggan, saw the tree just ahead. "If the toboggan hits that sorril one is going to be hurt," whispered the bunny "Don't let it be us, Nurse Jane. Let's drop off!" So the muskrat lady and the bunny gentleman quietly rolled off the back end of the toboggan. Faster went the sled toward the tree. "Oh, wow!" howled the Wolf. 9. And well might the Wolf say "Wow!" and the»bad Bear, also, for, no sooner had the bunny and Nurse Jane safely rolled off the toboggan, than it struck the tree' "Rip!" it went, splitting down the. middle. "Oh!" howled the Bear. "My eyes! My nose! M5y bones!" He hit the tree with a bang Off flew the Wolf, too, and he hit a tree. Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane stood up and laughed: "Ha>! Ha! Ho! Hot" And if the can opener doesn't take the legs off the rocking chair and try to make them walk up stairs all hy themaelvt*. the next pictures and ttory will b# about NCLE WIGGILY AND THE MARCH WIND. |
