Tinker OH, MY NOSE "Rap. rap, rap," someone was at the King's door. He had received a great many callers since Red Fox had plunged into the Brier Patch and got ten his nose full of prickers. "I won der who that can be," said Tinker Bob. "Jack, you go to the door. It may be Silky, the Monkey come back. He will be disappointed ' to think lie could not find Dr. Coon." Jack, the Wood Rat, went to the door. Me always wanted to go) to the door for that gave him a chance to 'Bee who was there first and if there was anything he liked to do it was to Bee things first or hear things first. He was just about as curious as that foolish Monkey. ; He expected to see Silky when . he opened the door but to his surprise it was not Silky but Jerry, the Jay, hirtx elf. His blue coat was 6hining and his topknot was square vith the world and he was feeling the best ever. He too had come to see the King. "Thief, thief, O King, how is that Red Fox getting along?" , "You are the fellow we're looking for," said Tinker Bob. "I was just .about to send for you. Dr. Coon wants you to help take the briers from Red Vox's nose." Thief, thief," cried Jerry. "That poor ; fellow, I warned him not to be so jillly as to jump into that Brier Patch ; where Jack, the Rabbit, lived for I knew he could never find Jack and he would get into trouble, but he'd never listen to me anyway so now he'll have to suffer. I'll take the briars out of. .'Mis nose. But Dr. Coon will haye. , to hold him for I'm terribly afraid of , those long white teeth, and it would ! be just like him to snap my head off If he had a chance." 'I will , take care that he does not ihap your head off," said Dr. Coon. "O King, I don't want the prickers 4aken out of my nose. I want them eft there so I will always remember the Brier Patch," cried Red Fox.. j With a nod of his head and a jerk of nis tail be pulled tne nrst oner out. "DoA't you worry Red Fox, you will remember the Brier Patch," said Jack, the . Rabbit, as he went hip-it-ty-hop across the room toward the door. He always believed that it was wise to play safe and stand by the door. 'A1J risrht .Terrv." said Dr. Coon. "T have his nose, now you take the prickers- Out."" Jerry took aim with a nod of his head and a jerk of his tail he pulled the first brier out. But you can im- asinp Red Fov was doins- some smiirm- ing! Then the next one and the next one till nil six wpr out Thpn thft King put the bandage on his nose again and' tucked him in bed.
