around the first circle and put the pretty
piece Of blue glass in that Blue glass IS
very magical if it is used in the right
way" said Missus Witchie. "Then took
feather out of a blue birds wing--a
pretty blue one and l held it over the
pretty blue piece Of glass and touched
each button with the blue BIRDS feather
and sang a ma gical song And it wasn't
five minutes hardly until here was the
pretty little house and the creamy milk
fountain just as you see it now"
Il didn't know buttons were 30
magical" said Raggedy Ann.
"Oh, yes, indeed, they are very mag
ical," said Missus Witchie, "but the
buttons have are not as magical as
I wish them to be. Why, If I could
find a suspender button I could make
the most wonderful magical things you
ever saw" "Then," said the big, large
policeman, you shall have the suspender
buttons off my trousers and I will try
and find some nails to hold my trousers
up"
Won't that be fne?" exclaimed Rag
gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy.
But when the great, big, large police-
man looked, he found that there were no
suspender buttons on his trousers, for
they were held up with a belt.
, Now isn't that too bad" he cried,
''Thers used to be suspenders on my
| trousers and there were suspender butts
tons. Where could they have gone to-"
II know" Raggedy Ann said, after
she had thought and thought until she
almost ripped a stitch out of the top
Of her rag head. when Missus Witchie
changed you from a great, big, large
man with a lot of whiskers into a pos
liceman, don't you remember7 All your
| old clothes disappeared and the newt
| pOliceman's uniform came in their place.
And when your old clothes disappeared,
of course your suspender buttons disc
appeared, too"
Lets go back to where you changed
me into a policeman" said the great
big, large policeman, "and maybe we
will find my old clothes hanging in
bush nearby" Eyes, let's run back
| there" said Andy "Then Missus Witchie
can work wonderful magical wishes when
she gets the suspender buttons" "Ha,
ha, ha You will never find them,
bet" a voice outside the little house
laughed, for I heard you talking and
1 went back there and looked for Mister
Policeman's clothes and they are not
there"
"That's' old Mister Milky" said Rag
gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. Isn't
he meant" I'm run out and catch him.
| that's what I'll do,''' cried the big, largo
| policeman as he jumped up. But as he
ran out the door he tripped upon a rope
which Mister Manky had stretched across
| the door, and as the policeman got up
and brushed the dust from his clothes
he saw Mister Minky running across thu
river. ''Weu, I didn't hurt myself a
Bit" the policeman laughed, land maybe
Mister Minky can't see the clothes after
they have disappeared anyway" That's
500 laughed Missus Witchie. $50 let's
run back to where l changed you into
policeman and maybe we can find the
suspender buttons. I want to make
something very magical when I find a
suspender button, and 1t will surprise
you when you see what 1t is"
III take you all upon my back" said
the policeman, so we will get therej
quicker and have the wonderful magicaI'
charms. "-Copyright 1922.
