ADVENTURES OF RAGGEDY ANN

On their way through the deep, deep woods, filled with fairies an everything. the Raggedys, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, had to walk where the path dipped down into little valley.
 The little valley was shady and l still, except for the murmur of the brook as 1t romped away, tumbling over the large powders on its way to the great sea.
 Hmm" Raggedy Andy said in hushed voice to Raggedy Ann. Isn't this just the sort of place where you would expect to find fairies, Raggedy Ann%
 Indeed, it isl" Raggedy Ann re- piled, and no doubt there are lots of tiny little fairy eyes peeping out at us!"
 Lets wish we might see the tiny little fairies, Raggedy Annw Raggedy Andy said. You have the Magical wishing pebble and If you wish to see the fairies, then we shall surely see them!'
 T know it.? Raggedy Ann replied. | But it would not be fair to the l fairies wishing to see them, If they do not care to have us see them! Just you wait, Mister Raggedy Andy" Raggedy Ann laughed. care to have us see them, they will l show themselves to us."
 "I want you to see me right now!' gruff voice said right near Rag gedy Ann's shoulder, and that is why I slipped up so quietly until I am so closer
 It was a strange creature who spoke in the gruff voice close to Raggedy Ann and she almost fell over when she turned and looked at | him.
 At first Raggedy Ann could think of nCtang to say, but finally she asked Who are you and what do you want?"
 "Ahaw the strange creature re- piled, T am the Hinkdoppus and I can mighty soon tell you what I want! I want the Wishing Pebble 1 1 just heard Raggedy Andy speak about"
 Raggedy Andy rolled up his shirt sleeves, for he knew, pretty soon he would probably have to fight the Hinkdoppus to keep the Hinkdoppus | from taking Raggedy Ann's magical Wishing Pebble away from her.
 When the Hinkdoppus saw Rag gedy Andy rolling up his sleeves, he said to himself, Now if I wait until Raggedy Andy has his sleeves rolled | up, mdyDe ne WILL WfaSSel me too hard, so I will hurry up and wrassel him before he finishes rolling up | his sleeves!
 And although 1t wasn't fair for the | Hinkdoppus to do it, he jumped right upon Raggedy Andy and threw | him down.
 You get off of Raggedy Andy, Mister Hinkdoppus" Raggedy Ann cried. Tt wasn't fair for you to wrassel him before Raggedy Andy was ready!"
 An! the Hinkdoppus cried as he held Raggedy Andy down upon the | ground. "I thought you said that Raggedy Ann had Wishing Peb- 1 ble! Now I can feel a Wishing stick ] sewed up inside Raggedy Andy!' | And the Hinldoppus picked up Rag | gedy Andy and ran home with him l as fast as he could go.
 "Oh, dear!" Raggedy Ann cried as she ran after the Hinkdoppus; "I had forgotten all about Raggedy Andy having the Wishing Stick sewed up inside his cotton stuffed body. And she followed the link doppus until he ran in his home and locked the door, then Raggedy Ann had to sit down and try to think | of a way to rescue Raggedy Andy.

Yesterday morning she had resented the idea of doing this. Now in Richards magnetic presence it seemed only just that she should make some explanation to him.

DOMESTIC DAYS

"Gee How many times have I told you not to run up any bills?" remarked MT. Jarr testify: "skinners X Ketchum's collector left bill for me at the office for fifty-one dol lars"
 That's my own personal bill, and they had no business to bring it to you. So you needn't worry! re- piled Mrs. Jarr with some asperity.
 Your personal bill!' exclaimed MT. Jarr. If you had all the money in the world you wouldn't have to pay my bills, but I would still be responsible for yours. But there's no use discussing that matter. What want to impress upon you is to stop running up bills"
 You stop spending foolishly all the money you make and then I won't have to run up bills!" said Mrs. Jarr. Anyway. there's a mis- take in that bill only owe those people fifteen dollars.
 And here I've gone and paid them fifty-one dollars when you only owe fifteen! growled Mir. Jarr,
 That will be all right" said Mrs. Jarr. T have to get lot of things for the summer there, and if you have paid, don't you see, I can take the difference out-how much is it. twenty-six, no thirty-six dGllars-in things I need and you won't have to pay for it, and I'll have the money that l have put aside to pay this bill to get something extra with"
 You had the money put aside to pay the bill?'. asked Mir. Jarr
 "Well, I was going to ask you for the fifteen dollars to pay the bill, and then put it aside" Mrs. Jarr replied. And now l suppose you won't give me the money simply because you've paid the bill, and foolishly paid it more than three times over."
 An huc l. ness?" asked MT. Jarr in amazement. "Pll bet if they had sent you a bill for fifteen when you really owed ffty-one. they'd be in hurry to let you know a mistake had been made"
 "It wasn't me that paid the bill three times over; in fact. I didn't pay them at all." replied Mrs. Jarr. Anyway, Skinner & Ketchum are lovely people to deal with, and as was saying, I need lot of things. And, as l told you, it was my own personal bill, and I would have at tended to it."
 Didn't I tell you that you can't have any personal bills and that am responsible for every bit of credit you get?" asked MT. Jarr. who by this time was really mad about 1t.
 And why shouldn't you be? You are my husband, aren't you?" asked Mrs. Jarr.
 'I suppose am," moaned MT. Jarr. And now I want you to go right down there with this receipt and have 1t corrected and bring me back the difference between what yoo owed and what I paid"
 oh, why be fussy; let me trade out the differences You won't miss it. now that you've paid it," said Mrs. Jarr. Suppose I hadn't told you that a mistake had been made,
 
 Maybe not" MT. Jarr admitted.
 "Well then, let me have the S15 I was going to ask you for to pay this bill?" said Mrs. Jarr.
 'I won't do it," snapped MT. Jarr. And Ee didn't.

By HELEN KENDALL 4 LINIrE LAWN MOWER

The holiday guests, who had come from town to spend the Fourth at the small suburban place of their friends, came out upon the lawn and gave shrieks of delight.
 Why, there's a sheep! We didn't know you kept a flock of baabaas" they exclaimed.
 The host ana hostess grinned proudly.
 That's our animated lawn mower" they imparted. And Eve don't keep a flock-only two, mother and child. Would you believe that this smooth velvet lawn of ours hasn't had a lawn mower showed over it all summer? Sheep can crop grass as short as the sharpest mower ever made, and they are decorative be- sides, we think. At least every one who comes along stops to admire the pastoral scene presented by our peacegul grazers.'
 "But--but aren't they a nuisance on so small placer" inquired the guests,
 Not at all, They are the clean est of animals, you know, with very title odor and leaving no noticeable dntidiness in their wake. They never have to be fed, as they live solely on the grass, and we tether them only to keep them out of the flower beds In fact,we tether the mother only, as her lamb keeps close by her side. At night the mother is united and follows pleasantly to the little house built for her to sleep in. Children all love the lamb and come to see it and feed it bits of bread, for 1t is very tame."
 "Oh, we must have one,' the guests turned to each other, just as aon as We come to live out in the coIn- try" they added .,
 Well, you can't have one only, said the host, flor a sheep will not stay alone happily unless 1t has been brought up entirely away from other sheep. But you can have two with as little trouble as one, and they are company for each other. Why people have always thought you could have sheep only on a big farm l cannot understand They are less trouble than many dogs, and are efficient as well s charming part of the land scape."
