EE = PAGE TEN -- OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1922 -- S-- - Garis' Bedtime Stories | UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE SWING Copyright, 1921, by McClure News. paper Syndicate, (By Howard R. Garis.) "Oh, Uncle Wiggily, will you make us a swing?" "Please make us a swing?" This is what Lulu and Alice Wih- blewobble, the two duck girls, quacked to the bunny rabbit gentle- man one day after they had come home from their hollow stump school, "Make you a swing, eh " said the bunny rabbit uncle, as he twinkled his pink nose like a lollypop going to the moving pictures, 'Where shall IT make it?" "On our old apple tree," answer- ed Lulu, "It has a lovely low, straight limb, just right for a swing." 'And there's a long piece of wild grapevine you can use for a rope," quacked Alice, *Oh, won't we have fun in the swing Uncle Wigglly is going to make!" ghe sang, and she splashed into a puddle of water and out again; but this didn't matter, you know, for duck girls are just made to play in the water, "All right, I'Imake you a swing," promised Uncle ggily, and soon, by climbing up on a step ladder, he had fastened the grapevine rope to the branch of the apple tree, and had gnawed out a board from a piece of box he found in the duck yard. 'Now we'll have some lovely swings!" quacked Lulu, "We'll take: turns," said Alice, "and Uncle Wiggily must go first, because he made us the nice swing," So the bunny rabbit gentleman sat himself down on the swing board, Lulu and Alice gave him a push, and away swung Uncle Wiggily as nicely as you please. "Well, 1 can't stay any longer," sald the bunny gentleman, after a while, "I must hop off and look for an adventure." He alighted from the swing, and then Lulu and Alice Wibblewobble took turns. The duck girls were having some dandy swings, now high and now low, when along came Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, the squirrel boys. i "Give us a swing!" chattered Bil- e, "We'll push you terrible high if you give us a turn," added Johnnie : "No! No! quackee Lulu. "Uncle Wiggily made this swing just for Yd "And you squirrel boys can't play on it!" added Alice, I'm not saying that the duck girls did right--mind you that! I'm only telling what happened. "Won't you let us swing?" asked Johnnie. "Nope!" quacked Lulu and Alice, and they kept the swing to them- selves. "All right," chattered Johnnie "Come on, Billie, I know where we - can have some fun--with Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow, the puppies," The squirrel boys made bhelleve run off to play with the doggie boys, but, instead, they hid in the bushes. "When Lulu 'and Alice go away, we'll skip out and get in the swing," sald Billie, "Yes," agreed Johnnie, And soon the duck girls became tired of the grapevine swing and ran off to have a paddle in the water, "Now's our chance,' whispered Billie, and soon he and his brother were having fun beneath the apple tree, "I know what we can do,' said Billie, when they had swung enough, What?" asked his brother, "We can climb the tree, and, with our sharp teeth gnaw partly through the grape vine rope," went on Bil- lie, "We will only gnaw it partly through, so it won't show, But when the duck girls try to swing the vine will break." = es, they'll" come down™ ker- bunko!' langhed Johnnie, "Yes, they'll. come down ker- bunko!" chuckled Billie, So the squirrel hoys, little tykes | that they were, gnawed partly through the grapevine rope of the swing, and then they ran away. Pretty soon back came Uncle Wig- gily, and, seeing no one near the ewing, the bunny said: "I'll just take a little ride by my- self." He was just about _to sit down in the swing, when, of a sudden, out from gehind a bush pop- ped the bad old Woozie Wolf, 'Ah, ha!" howled the Wolf. "Now I'm going to nibble your ears!" please don't!" "Degged ihe bunny. "Yes, I shall!" snarled the Wolf. "But before I nibble your ears I'll take a swing." ' Down he sat himself in the swing but you know what happened. The vine broke, and down came the old Wolf ker-bunko! "Oh, wow!" howled the Wolf. "What has happened? I guess the sky has fallen! I'd better go home!" And away he ran, not hurt- ing Uncle Wiggily at all. "The Wolf was too heavy for the swing and he broke it," said the bunny, who didn't know that the squirrel boys had gnawed the vine| almost in half. "I must make the| duck girls another. I'm glad the swing broke with the Wolf." And Johnnie and Billie were glad, too, and they didn't gnaw the new swing which the bunny gentleman | made for the duck girls. So every-| body was happy except the Wolf, and | he didn't deserve to be.

"All aboard for the north side," he said hoyishly, And Hazel climb- ed obediently amidships, On the farther side, BIl emp- tied the canoe, and stowed it out of sight in a convenient thicket, repacked his horses and struck out out again, Hazel drew upon her knowledge of British Columbia geography 'and decided that the big river where Bill hid his canoe must he the Fraser where it de- bouched from the mountains, And in that case she was far north, and in a wilderness indeed, Her muscles gradually hardened to the saddle and to walking, Her appetite grew in proportion, The ssmall supply of eatable dainties that Roamng Bill had ' brought from the 'Meadows dwindled and disappeared, until they were living on bannocks baked a la frontier in his frying pan, on beans and cof- fee, and venison killed by the way. Yet she relishéd the coarse fare even while she rebelled against the circumstances of its partaking. "Do you realize," she broke out {one evening over the fire, "that thi: is simply abduction?" "Not at all," Bill answered prompt. ly. "Abduction means to take away surreptitiously by force, to aarpy away wrongfully and by violence any human being, to kidnap. Now, you can't by any stretch of the im- agination accuse me of force, viol ence or kidnapping--not by a long shot.

She took a look at the encompass- ing woods, and her heart sank at fac- ing those shadowy stretches alone and unguided. The truth of his statement that she would never reach Cariboo Meadows forced itself home. There was but one way out and her womans wit would have to save her. "Go on, then," she gritted in a swift surge of anger. "I am afraid to face this country alone. I admit my helplessness. But, so help me heaven, I'll make you pay for this dirty trick! You're not a man! You're a cur--a miserable, con- temptible scoundrel..!." "Whew!" Roaring Bill laughed. "Those are pretty names. Just the same | admire your grit. Well here we gol!" He took up the lead rope, amd went on without even looking to see if she followed. If he had made the slightest attempt to force her to coms if he had betrayed them least umcer- tainty as to whether she would come Hazel would have swung dowm from the saddle and set her face stubborn- ly southward in sheer defiance of him. But such is the peculiar com- plexity of a woman that she took one longing glance backward, and then fell in behind the packs. She was weighted down with dread of the un- known, boiling over with rage at the man who swung light-footed im the lead; but nevertheless she followed him. All the rest of the day they bore three days. On the west the valley wall ran to a timbered ridge. el Then the stream they followed merged itself into another, both wid« | and deep, which flowed west through | a level bottomed valley three miles or more in width. Roaring Bill halted on the river bank and stripped his horses clean, though it was but two in the afternoon and | their midday fire less than an hour extinguished. She watched him cur- jously. When his packs were off h« beckoned to her. "Hold them a minute," he said and put the lead ropes in her hand. Then he went up the bank into a thicket of saskatoons. Out of this he presently emerged, bearing on his shoulders a cance, old and weather- beaten, but staunch, for it rode light as a feather on the stream. Bill seated himself in the cance, holding to Silk's lead rope. The other two he left free. "Now," he directed, "when I start across, you drive Nigger and Satin in if they show signs of hamging back Bounce a rock or two off them if it is usually through some other mo- tive than devotion to their profes- sion or their business. | you next sacrifie teheir lives for their business | Feeding the Hungry Is No Sacrifice If the people of the North Ameri- oan continent were to cut appreciably into their expenditure on unneces- saries, as they did during the war, there would soon he no Russian fa- mine problem, The United States ex- cise officials announce that fifty bil- lion cigarettes were consumed in that country last year, or an aver- age for every man of five a day, The figures for Canada are not available, but in a comparative sense they probably are not much less, Hundreds of millions are blown away in smoke every year, Of course not all of this money can he sald to be utterly wasted the figures being cit- ed only for the purpose of showing if 'an effort were made, how much money could he saved, It would not take a very great deal of economizing on, the part of the people of Canada to raise enough money to feed all the hungry Russian children that the Canadian Bave the Children Fund is likely to accept re- ponsibility for, Some people may really skimp themselves in making a contribution; but by far the great- er part give only out of their abund- ance, Many have not even done that, Send your contribution without de- lay to Bir George Burn, treasurer of the Canadian Committee of the Save the Children Fund, or forward ft through your local organization or bank, ELEPHANT BRAND "He speaks of my alabaster brow. 1 don't understand him."
