They are much like a cat would be with

"Ha, ha! And so you don't care to
associate with gentleman--a Candy
gentleman, eh?" ind John, the Candy
Kid, sneered at Han o San. "Well, my
impudent, worthless, common clod, take
that" And John, the Candy Kid,
struck Han @ San across the face with
his candy cane.
With one twist of his strong hand
Han o San broke the candy cane into
a dozen bits, and they fell to the floor.
"Now, as you are made of the same
breakable stuff" he said, calmly, 81
warn you to not come near me nor
speak to me again, or you'll fare as
your cane has just Jared. I'll break
your body into pieces and let the ami
mails of Noah's Ark devour you"
John. the Candy Kid, was crimson
with rage and shame. He knew he was
no match for the Japanese soldier, but
he was too vain to admit his own poor
strength. The fact is, he had no physi-
cal strength to speak of. Like all candy
toys, he was more sweet than sensible
Los Angeles herald., 1910-03-20

TT was very quiet in the play
room. Most OF the toys were
= asleep. 1t was the twilight hour,
and all the little folk were at their
supper of bread and milk in the
nursery. So the playroom was so still
one might hear ones own heart beat.
But pretty soon there was a stir in
one corner of the room. 1t was John,
the Candy Kid. He was big fellow
to be made of candy. Tommy's Uncle
John had given him to Tommy on
Christmas, and he-the Candy Kid
had been named for the good old
uncle who had given him.
John stirred, then he arose. AS he
did so ne awoke Molly Anne, the big
rag doll, and Josephine the fine French
doll. Then, in turn, Han o San, Jap
anese soldier doll, awoke. And he began
making things lively by clattering his
sword about against the furniture.
Come, stop that racket" command
ed the Candy Kid, addressing Han o
San. Don't you know your betters?
/ want to speak, and if you keep up
that Internal racket, it browns my
voice"
"Oh, and who are you?' dared to
question Han o San, who, 1t must be
told, was really very, very bold and
brave. Once he had rescued Molly
Anne from the tiger of Noah's ark,

the Candy Kid broken into pieces, and
without ever noticing that his head
was gone they began to eat the legs
and arms. "Oh, what good candy!
exclaimed Paul. It's better than the
candy that is put in ordinary shape"
"Yes, and he was getting so soiled
that sister and had agreed to eat him
pretty soon," explained Tommy Gee,
he is good candy!" he agreed with
Paul. II like hard, cracking candy"
And what a lot, too" said Oracle.
He'll make as much as a pint box
full, won't he? And the inside of him
is so white. My, OH How dirty his
outside has got by our playing with
him. And he was so pretty when he
was newt"
I'm eating the cane,' said Kittie.
"But it's all the same sort of candy"
And as the four children ate up the
candy-which had been the Candy Kid
the other dolls looked on without
saying a word. But Han O San, and
Josephine, and Molly Anne, too, felt
relieved that the boastful, egotistical
Candy Kid had disappeared from their
midst, and they hoped there would
never be any more candy dolls intro
duced there. Candy was only for eat
ing purposes, anyway.

dared to question Han San of tAe
boastful Candy Kid.
'I?" And John. the Candy Kid,
Strengthened up till his back cracked.
why, I'm made of stuff that
counts, my foolish fellow. I'm of the
purest, sweetest candy that is mixed.
Mr.. Soldier Chap. Now, do you know
who | am?"
"Oh, yes, you're the Candy Kid"
smiled Han o San. II believe you are
very very sweet, but 1 am not pre-
pared to say how strong and brave
you are. However, We'll not dispute
over trifles. But come, what have you
ever done, sir, that you boast SOP
"I?" And John, the Candy Kid,
laughed in an amused way. How abb
surd you are, fellow, to ask me what
have ever done. l am gentleman OF
quality. How does that strike youY'
Han o San smiled. "Oh. it doesn't
strike me at ALL" he replied. THE
fact is, one has got to show me he is
worth something before l consider him
at all. Now, if you are a genius or
man of parts, why l shall be glad of

And, realizing his danger, he jumped
W and began to rush toward the Jap
anese soldier, meaning to have 1t out
with him, no matter what the conse-
quences. With a weak thrust of the
fist he hit Han San in the breast.
Then he cried: You common clod,
come on. I'll make you wish you were
anything rather than soldier!' Il
don't want to really injure you, Candy
Kid" said Han o San, Warding off the
Candy Kids blows. you are not my
match, and | never fight with an in
ferior in strength or intelligence. De
sst, I beg of you. / don't want to be
forced to harm you, especially In the
presence of the ladies here
"Oh, you are afraid I'll disarm you"
cried John. the Candy Kid. You don't
want the ladies to see that you are a
coward. Well, I'll show the ladies that
YOU are" And with a mighty lunge
John, the Candy Kid, struck at Han
San. But the agile japanese was too
quick for him, and jumped aside Just as
the blow was about to fall on his head.
John, his fist meeting with no resist
ance, fell headlong to the floor, break
ing into several pieces. His head was
severed from his body and rolled across
the floor to the very door of the Noah s
Ark. A great white horse, very fond
Of sugar and candy, Tapped out his
tongue and tasted the sweetmeat 1t
was good, so he drew it into his mouth
and ate it up. The head of the Candy
Kid was thus disposed Of but there
was his body, broken into many parts.
Indeed, his pretty sweet, red-striped
candy legs and arms looked for all the
world like big sticks of candy-which
they really were now. And the trunk
looked like a candy cake, cracked in
several places
While Han o San, Josephine and
Molly Anne were viewing the pieces OF
candy which had once formed the body
of the Candy Kid, the door opened
and in came Tommy, Oracle and their
little cousins, Kittie and Paul. The
four of them were aston.shed to see

or strong. And in this instance his
sweetness was only literal His dispo-
sition was anything but sweet. He
glared at Han o San; then turning to
Josephine and Molly Anne he asked:
Ladies, which of US two do you pre-
fertile soldier or me-the king of
Candy?"
Molly glanced at Josephine and Jo-
sephne at Molly. Then both ladies
laughed. why, you're not a man
you know" said Josephine, you
are a bragger."
And as you are made of very good
stuff to eat your days are numbered" p"
remarked Molly. children can't let
candy lie about very long before they
wish TO devour it. You'll make nice

Oracle some day soon. I've seen candy
toys before, and they always pay the
penalty being made of sweets. We're
YOU not such a boastful, egotistical
fellow. I'd feel verv sorry for you. But
since you are so disagreeable in the
playroom | haven't much sympathy for
you no matter what happens to you.
While Molly had been speaking, John,
the Candy Kid, had grown very red IN
the face, and his cheeks began to melt
from warmth caused by rage and
shame and to run down to his neck.
