STORIES Pictured by LANG CAMPBELL i! One fine winter's day Uncle Wiggily hopped out of his hdlow stump bungalow to go look for an adventure. The bunny twinkleihis pink nose, for it was cold. All of a sudden Mr. Longears saw Oiy and Floppy Twistytail, the piggie boys, rolling snow bans. "What re you doing, piggie boys?" asked the bunny. "We're makings snw fort," grunted Floppy. "I'll help you," said Uncle Wiggily. And he ffl. 2. Uncle Wiggily helped the piggie boys build the walls of the snow fort in front of an old log cabin that Grandpa Whackiirn, the beaver gentleman, used as a summer cottage. Just now no one was living in it. "But it's got a stove in," said Floppy, "and We can warm; ourselves when we get cold." As the bunny and Floppy went into the cabin to look at the stove, "Floppy climbed Up the wall and cried: "Danger!" 3. "What do you see, Floppy?"-cried Uncle Wiggily, to the.piggie boy who was up on the wall of the snow fort. "1 see the Alligator and 'That the pipe and scare away the bad chaps." Curly and Floppy threw snowballs at the Alligator and Bear. noy wno was up on trie wan or me snow tort. "1 see the Alligator i the Bear coming to catch us!" grunted the little piggie boy. "T must never be!" shouted Uncle Wittfily. "There is a stove pipe in cabin. I'll make a cannon-gun Of the pipe and scare away the i 4. Uncle Wiggily placed the stove pipe cannon on the top othe fort. -"When the bad chaps see that they'll be so frightened theyill run," said the bunny. "Will the stove pipe'cannon shoot?" aed Curly, as he and his brother threw snowballs. "No, it won't slut," said'Uncle Wiggily. "But it will scare them." The Bear and I). gator only laughed at the cannon. They knew it was make-belie. 5. Curly, looking over the top of the fort wall, saw the bad chaps coming on. "Oh, Uncle Wiggily!" squealed the piggie boy, "the stove pipe cannon didn't frighten the Bear and Alligator at all." 'The rabbit gentleman twinkled his pink nose. "We need some smoke to pull out like a real cannon. That will scare them," he said. So he fastened the stove to the pipe and built a smoky tire that puffed. 6. "Puff! Puff!" out rolled the clouds of smoke as Uncle Wiggily fanned the stove with his hat. "Take a look, Floppy, and see what ;ng on," begged the bunny. "Hurray!" squealed the piggie boy as he peered over the top of the fort. "The Bear and 'Gator are run-ning away!" And so they were, for, seeing the smoke coming from the stove pipe cannon, the Bear said: "It must be a real one! Let's rimJ" 7 The Bear and Alligator ran off a little way until"they met the Bob Cat with his silly little tail. "What's the matter?" snarled the Bob Cat. "We're afraid Uncle Wiggily at the snow fort will shoot us, growled the Bear. The Bob Cat looked at the puffs of smoke. "They can't hurt you," he laughed. "There are no cannon balls! Come on back and well storm the fort and nibble Uncle Wiggily's ears!" 8. Uncle Wiggily and the piggie boys were very glad when they saw the bad chaps running away. "But the danger isn't over yet," said the bunny gentleman. "Why not?" asked Floppy. "Because," replied Mr. Longears, "they'll soon find out it is only smoke. We must make some cannon balls. There are some heads of cabbage in the cabin. We can make cannon balls of them. Bring out the cabbage balls!" 9. On came the bad chaps. Uncle Wiggily made more smoke purl out of the stove pipe cannon. "Ha! Ha! We aren't afraid of that!" snarled the Bob Cat. "Smoke can't hurt us!" Then the bunny and the piggie boys jumped up to the top of the fort. "Perhaps smoke can't hurt you," he laughed, "but cannon balls can!" And the bad chaps, hit by the hard heads of cabbage, ran away as fast as they could run.
