When she was ushered into his private office, she explained her errand.

 He answered romptly-'Indeed I will! l would like nothing better" But a moment later, he suggested, tatingly-"Would you not like Rankin to go, too?"
 No" she said T don't think so. Should l ask him?"
 That is a matter you must settle for yourself, Winifred." Muir re- piled. T only wondered if you had forgotten to send for him."
 "I had" she said frankly. T tell you what we'll do! We'll look at the cars, then I'll get Richard to go tc morrow and see the one I have chosen. But I am sure he will like what I like"
 They did not have to wait for to- morrow, for. after inspecting several types of cars, they met Richard himself.
 Donald had taken Winifred to the Plaza for tea. He reminded her that he had asked her to come here on the afternoon on which she had an nounced her engagement to him then had forgotten the invitation.
 He spoke lightly and easily of the occurrence. Indeed, as she watched him, he seemed more like his old and she were chatting cozily over the teacups when they saw Rankin.
 He stood in the entrance of the restaurant looking about as if in search of some one. As his eyes fell upon his fiancee and her com

 There must be some way of get ting out of here" RaEgedy Ann said. Let us try the back door,
 But when they tried the back door our friends found this would not open for them.
 And the worst part of 1t is that we cannot see each other" Raggedy Ann said. What shall we do? The two mean little old witches will be back pretty soon, I am sure"
 We must keep real still when they return" little Ned Gnome said, land then they will think we have man. aged to get out of the house. Per haps then we shall find a way to leave as they do."
 Maybe they loft the wishing peb- ble and the wishing stick here in the house" Raggedy Andy suggested, and, as they belong to Raggedy Ann and I, 1t is only right that we should take them if we can find them.''
 Ao INdB6 euyb ana lltCIo NeQ GnOm6 looked all through the witches house, but could not find tho wishing pebble and the wishing stick.
 "The two witches must have them in their pockets" Raggedy Ann sighed. If we could only find them we would wish ourselves miles away from here."
 'Now. will tell you what I think We should do," little Ned Gnome said When the witches return they must not know we are here, for then they may not give us a chance to escape. And, as we cannot see each other, we must new like little kitties when we want the others to come where we are standing"
 That is avery good idea, little Ned Gnome," Raggedy Ann laughed. "The witches will think we are invisible kitties."
 Pretty soon the Raggedys and lit- tie Ned Gnome heard the witches re- turning.
 Now we must keep real etill," Raggedy Ann said. But we must watch that they do not step on us."
 The two mean little old witches came in their house and sat down in rocking chairs.
 What do you think could have happened?" Wanda Witch asked her sister. How did Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy get out of the closet and the cigar box?"

Want to tell me who your father was? Your mother was a Truesdell-I'n bet on that"
 Miss Mysterys face fell. Abject despair was written on every line of 1t. She glanced at Trask, and his own determined expression showed her. Just aware of loving Lock from him save on his own terms.
 And those terms were too hard for her. Just aware of loving Lock wood, just learning to know what love meant and how sweet it could be. just realizing, too, the awfulness of her own position, the dire neces- sity for secrecy, the terrible result of Trask's revelations, should they be made, altogether Miss Mystery faced a dangerous crisis.

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS
 INSTALLMENTS

JChn Waring, newly elected to the presidency of Corinth col lege, a venerable New England seat of learning, is found stabbed to death in his study. As he is at the pinnacle of his career and is about to marry Emily Bates, a charming and cultured widow, no motive for suicide appears. He hal no known enemies. There was no trace of a weapon, nor was there any way in which murderer could have left the locked room.
 The next morning Nogi, the Japanese butler, Is missing, as are a valuable ruby stickpin, worn by the dead man, and $500 known to have been in private drawer. His will, made out In favor of his fiancee, has ap- parently been burned Into the grate. Thus his estate reverts to a distant relative, Maurice Waring's secretary, insists firm ly, even susDiciously, upon the suicide theory.
 Anita Austin, The Mystery Girl" as she has been dubbed by the inmates of Mrs. Anderson's boarding house (because of her silence concerning herself and her business in Corinth), is drawn into the tragedy when Miss Bas- com; prying old maid, accuses her of visiting pr. Waring on the night of his death, and of being an accomplice in his murder.
 Footprints. into which her shoes exactly fit, are found in the crusted snow leading to and from Dr. Warnings study window. Moreover, the roll of bills and his Ruby stickpin are found in her possession together with an em- broidery stilletto with which the fatal wound might have been made.
 With fingerprint evidence against her. and with unmistakable proof that it was the imprint of her button trimmed dress which was found on q plush chair back in pr. Waring's study, Anita admits visiting him on the night of the tragedy. But her story is so con- flicting and her distress so ap- parent that Maurice Trask finds his sympathies enlisted in her favor. His interest in Anita is so evident that it rouses the jealousy of Lockwood. who is secretly in love with her. Trask, however. overrides all objections and constitutes himself for her counsel.
 Unable any longer to keep back his feelings, Lockwood confesses his love to Anita.

 Yes" Wanda Witch replied, "but our wishes do not come true, so the wishing pebble and the wishing stick will do us no good"
 we must get upon our flying broom and hunt the Raggedys," said Winda Witch.
 Then. because Raggedy Andy and little Ned Gnome had walked away from her, Raggedy Ann mewed like a kittie.

 Donald rose to greet him. Sit down." he urged, and have cup of tea with Winifred and me. You see I have persuaded her to share the tea hour with me"
 T see," Richard tried to speak nonchalantly, but there was an air of suppressed excitement about him as he bent low over his betrothed's land in greeting her. Thanks" to Muir, T will sit down here for few minutes-but I will take a cup of coffee instead of tea-with your permi ssion."
 When the order was given he turned to Winifred. And what have you been doing with yourself today?" he asked.

 The words were polite, and suave- ly spoken. Winifred was glad that her lover should show the better side of his character to her old friend Yet somehow, she felt vaguely uncomfortable.

spring styles are still undergoing
changes before being finally an

Certain style tendencies, how
ever, may be glimpsed at the adj

doubtedly rule during the coming
season. The silhouette will evil

for drapes rather than for side
panels. The dipped-hemline IS
conspicuous by it's absence in the
new spring models.
"Mountain haze" new shade

olet tones Is considered the choS-
en- color of the season. 1t will
probably be more popular than
the Perriwinkle blue of last sea-
son, as il is a softer shade and
more easily worn. 1t is especial
ly beautiful for the dinner gown
Of soft chiffon or gorgette and is
at its best when beaded in sell

The short throat necklace and

minor mistakes in administration, but
more generally on a misunderstanding
of their purposes, of what should be
expected of such a system
The banker, as much as any man, is
to blame for the present misconcep-
ton. He found Federal Reserve
Banks ready scapegoat to blame for
no matter what happened. If it
seemed desirable to refuse or call a
loan it was easy to say that the Fed
eral Reserve Bank wished it, although
it should have been refused because
contrary to good banking practice.
Most of all was the system blamed
for the fact that violent imitation
which hundreds of business men and
bankers hoped might be continued
forever was finally checked by putting
up Federal Reserve interest rates.
There were those who blamed the
system for not having put up the rate
soon enough and others who blamed
it because it put up the rate at all.

the present bank of the United States
from the fate of its two predecessors
we must make known to America, to
its rank and file, the splendid useful
ness of these institutions.
We must admit at the outset that
in their administration mistakes have
been made, that governors of Fed
eral Reserve Banks and members OF
the Federal Reserve Board are human
beings, and in the administration of
the affairs of any institution by
/ human beings mistakes will be made
| but these have been so insignificant
as compared with the outstanding

the good which they have performed

in the case of Il larger power plant

Immediately upon charging with salt
the furnace becomes filed with dense

Once the heating surface is thorough

MAKE USE OF SHRUBBERY
Back Yard May Be Made a Thing OF
Beauty by the Judicious Use OF
Trees and Vines.

Step into your back yard and look in
six directions-nsf, east, south, west,
up and down. You Are fortunately sit
uated If there is in more than one of
these directions view that cannot be
improved The view up is likely to be
charming, and the view down, If you
have a good lawn, Will be. But in the
other four directions, it is likely there
are pictures which you would not care
to have framed on the walls of your
living room.
Where this is the case, the elimina-
ton of these views is the first object
Of garden planning. The boundaries
Of the private area must be determined.
Allow for a vegetable garden, either
within this area, or adjoining it, in
location which enjoys the maximum Of
sun possible. The service area for
domestic uses must also be set aside
unless the premises are too limited for
that. And when this is done, paintings
to screen the private area from the
outside world, or such of it as may be
undesirable to the view, may be
planned.
Usually shrubbery with a few trees
for accents and shade Will furnish the
most pleasing boundary planting. But
/ where space is much confined lattice
or board fences, to be covered with
vines or even left uncovered, may be
used to advantage. Use the fence If
shrubbery threatens to encroach upon
the flower borders or central lawn for
the chief interest of the garden will
not be found in the trees and shrubs
it will be in the flowers, and the activi
ties which may be enjoyed on the lawn
