iy : PAGE FOURTEEN t Garis' Bedtime $tories * ONCLE WIGGILY AND THE SUGAR COOKIES Copyright 1921, by McClure Nows- \ (B r Syndicate, Howard R. Garis.) "Oh, Uncle Wiggily! Look out' Look out!" suddenly , called Susie Littletail, the rabbit girl, one day, as the bunny gentleman was hop- ping through the woods. "Don't step there!" and Susie pointekl at something, "What's the matter?" asked Mr Longears, looking -over the top of Ris. pink, twinkling nose, to make sure it was all right. "Was I going to step on the tail of the Fox or the Pipsisewah, Susie?" "Neither one," answered the little rabbit girl, "But if 1 hadn't called you would have put your foot right on.my sugar cookies!" "Sugar cookies!" hunny gentleman, Susie." "Oh, of course, they aren't real sugar cookies," said thg little rabbit @irl, "I'm only making believe! Baby Bunty and Jennie Chipmunk are coming over in the woods to play with me pretty soon, and I'm making pretend' sugar cookies "for our dolls to eat." : "Oh, I see!" laughed Uncle Wig- exclaimed the "I don't see any. > haked a bach of molasses cookies. They're outfof the oven, on the kit- chen tabla! When I come back I'll sprinkle sugar on them." "All right," answered Uncle Wig: gily, and as Nurse Jane hopped away the bunny went in the kitchen and saw the pan full of fresh molasses cookies. He also-saw a bag full of something while and sparkling, "Ah, this is the sugar that Nurse Jane was going to sprinkle on the cookies," said Unele Wiggily. "Well, I'll save her that trouble. I'll put the sugar on the cookies myself." : So Uncle W' ily sprinkled a lot of the white, _arkling stuff from tha bag over tae molasses cookies. and, just as he finished, the kitchen door opened. "I've sugared the cookies for you, Nurse Jane, said the bunny, not turning around to see who come in. Of course he thought was the muskrat lady. "Oh, you've sugared the cookies, have you?" growled a voice, ,'Well, that's good, for I shall cookies first, and then your ears! Wuff!" Uncle Wiggily turned around and saw the had old Woozie Wolf! "Oh, please don't nibble I'll nibble my gly. Then he looked where Susie pointed and he saw that she had made some cookies out of chocolate brown mud, with something white and sparkling, just like grains of sweet sugar, sprinkled on the top. ' "That looks like , real sugar, Susie," said Uncle Wiggily. "If you tried to eat it you'd find your teeth full of grit," laughed the rabbit girl, "That which looks like | sugar is only white sand, And of course the cookies are made of mud. | You wouldn't want to cat them, | Unele Wiggily." ! "No. I guess not!" the hunny gen- | tleman answered. Then he hopped! on through the forest, and pretty soon Baby Bunty and Jennie Chip. munk came to play with Susie, © Uncle Wiggily looked all through the woods for an - adventure, ana when he counldn't find one he turned back to his hollow "stump bunga- low." When he reached thdqre he found Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, his muskrat lady housekeeper, just leaving. ~4#I'm so glad you came along, Wiggy," said Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. "Why?" "ased the bunny. "Because Mrs. Wibblewobhle, the duck lady, just telephoned and ask- ed me to come over," Jane. said Nurse | "F didn't want to leave the | bungalow all alone, as 1 have Just | ears!' hegged the bunny, "Yes, I shall!" howled the Wolf. "But first I'll eat halt a dozen of these sugar cookies!" Most impo- (litely he stuffed half a dozen coolties in his mouth at once and hegan chewing them, And then, all of a I sudden, a funny look came over the Wolf's face and he howled: "What's this? What trick is this? Oh, my teeth are full of grit! 1 can't cat these cookies! They're all sandy!" And away he ran to wash the grit off his tongue "Well, that's funny!'t said Uncle Wiggily, putting on his glasses ' to look at the cookies. "Oh, not so very funny!" laugh- ed Nurse Jane, who came back just then. 'What you sprinkled on the cookies was some white seashore sand that I was saving to polish my pots and pans. You put sand on the cookies instead of sugar, der the Wolf's teeth were gritty." gily. "I'm as bad as Susie," Then Nurse Jane baked more cookies and the bunny put real sugar on them, but the Wolf didn't get any, and if the jumping jack doesn't try to bounce the rubber ball on the head of the stairs and make the banister rail turn upside down, I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily sweet water.

She will be greatly missed not only in the home, but by a very large circle of friends. et - She is survived by her husband, one daughter and one son, Ethel and William, both at home, to whom is extended the heart-felt sympathy of all. One brother Mr. George Bryagt of California, and a sister, Mrs, BN, McCulloch of Columbus, also survive her.
