 Tied to the string was little Weekly, Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Ann.
 Hooky, the Goblin, had captured them and was taking them to his part of Grotto to make them into noodle soup.
 It didn't do any good for Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and little Weekly to tell Hooky, the Goblin, that he couldn't make noodle soup. out of them, for he W 0 u ldn't believe them.

The little traveller went to the
diner when meals We're called and
without any assistance ordered her
eats and paid her bill just as precise
ly as the grown ups, and received
just as gallant attention from the
dining car conductor and walters as
accorded to any miss of even more
enticing years.
1t was three o'clock Sunday after
noon when Ruth began her long
journey from sunny California and
at 11:4O the following Tuesday the
youthful traveller stepped off of No.
% at Mountain Home.
The plucky child leaped into the
arms of her new mama, while the
occupants of the pullman all stepped
off to bid her goodbye and make sure
that she was safely in charge of the
ones who jhad been counting the
minutes and following her on her
journey from the hour she started,
until she arrived.
Just as soon as she could get her
breath, Ruth said, "Now, l want to
see some snow" as she had seen but
very little during the two years she
had spent in California.
The first big problem to be dis
cussed when she arrived at the rooms
of the Beckman's was to see tina
dolly had manicure and her hair
dressed and nice quiet place TO
take nap after her strenuous jour
ney.
Ruth has entered the city schools
and is adjusting herself to growing
up in Idaho, where we all hope she
will be happy and make as wonder
iul a success of life's journey as she
lid on her trip across the end of the
great west.
The fact that it was possible for
his child to make such a long trip
n perfect safety is a refreshing in
light into the human side OF modern
'ailway efficiency.
