THE DAILY ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS i By Olive Roberts Barton Daddy Cracknuts and the Bumbershoot BRITISH * | "It's Reddy Fo x," he shivered. "Mornin'," sald old Daddy Crack- nuts, pushing open the tingaling door of Mister Bags' store, where the Twins were working. 'Mornin', Daddy," Bags. : "Mornin'," said Nancy end Nick, too. "Nice day," said Mister Bags. "Yep! Nice for ducks," said Daddy Cracknuts. "I just knew it was going to rain! I sez to Ma last night, sex I, 'Ma, the moon's tilted and that means wet weather. When it's tilted like that, 1 sez, it spills all the rain out.' And\I wuz right. It's 80 squshy this morning I went sockity, sock, sock every step I took ,and I'm as wet as a sponge. Achoo!" ! "My, my! That's too bad," said Mister Bags. "I'm afraid you'r catching cold, Daddy." ~ "I came to buy a bumbershoot," said Daddy presently. "We don't sell guns," said Nick quickly. He was surprised a Daddy's remark because he knew how very much afraid of guns all the wood folk were. "Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Daddy. "A bumbershoot isn't a gun. It's an umbrella. I want an umbrella to keep me dry--and a pair of go- loshes." Daddy said the "go" very hard. "I have to go clear 'tother side of Stony Creek on an errand for Ma." i C 'Why sure we can fit you out, sald Mister Bags. "Here is a nice sald Mister umbrella with a crooked handle Wi { | hang on your arm, and here are goloshes your very size." _WHIG 3 So away started Daddy. But scarcely had he turned the corner when Whirrr! wheee' ebee! | A fierce wind nearly blew him off | | his feet. '"My, my!" cried Daddy, "I never knew bumbershoots were so hard to | hold. Jiminy Christmas! I wish that | wind would stop!" To add to his troubles, he had a feeling that someone was following him. He nearly dropped his umbrella | and basket and everything, when he | saw a long red nose and the tip of | a bushy tail sticking out on two | sides of a bush. "It's. Reddy Fox," | he shivered. "A pretty kettle of fish | I'm in." | Suddenly Reddy made a rush and | in about three seconds he'd have | had old Daddy by the tail, but at that | instant the wind went whirr! Whee' | harder than ever, and catching | ffi Daddy's umbrella, it lifted the | squirrel gentleman right up in the air over Reddy's head. And thump, thump! Something hit Reddy two dreadful whaoks on the nose and he ran away howling. It was Daddy's -goloshes falling off at exactly the right minute. Daddy stopped in the store on his way home. "Gun nothing!" he cried. "A bumbershoot is ten times as | | | good. I'll bet you Reddy Fox is nning yet." (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)
