 Anyway, shall capture Raggedy
 Andy and take him home with me, then you will never see him againl' But Hookie, the Goblin, was very much mistaken! As he came close to them, the cookie COW rolled her candy eyes and said, "Mooooow ever so gently. But she must have been fooling, for she raised her head and scooted Hookie across the garden so fast, his feet hardly touched the
 ground. Then when she got him near
 the fence, she kicked up her cookie
 heels and tossed him right over the
 fence. And as Hookie walked away
 shaking his fist, the cookie COW came
 walking back with a smile on her
 face which plainly asked, "Wasn't
 that fun?"

 ,-rhe removal of the paper revealed fA satin box. She lifted the cover and caught her breath.
 On the velvet lining lay a slender gold bracelet in which were mounted a row of deep red rubies. As she looked at them they seemed actually to glow and give out warmth.
 She tried to speak her thanks, but, instead, the tears rushed to her eyes. "Oh, Donald" she began.
 Her companion spoke quickly and fin practical n.aner
 T declare, Winifred, I believe they match your dress-don't they?"
 She caught back her sob that had risen to her throat and gave vent to an unsteady laugh.
 "T-I-can't say what I think of this Donald,' she began.
 Again he interrupted her. Don't try to-" he advised. Suppose we see If the thing fits
 She remembered that she had put her arms about his neck and kissed him when he gave her the pendant. But that was when he fancied he loved her. before he had learned what a silly crature she was-before she had engaged herself to man who was not worthy to be called man.
 Now she would not dare follow the impulse that had seized her on her twenty-first birthday. Instead she held out her hand for Muir to clasp the bracelet on her wrist.
 His fingeAs trembled slightly as he fastened the clasp. Then he drew back to note the effect.
 "Oh, Donald!" she said now, find ing speech easier, "how can I ever thank you for such wonderful gift The idea of my having rubies! though only wealthy ladies wore them. I have looked at them often in the jewellers windows1and just loved them. They are always so alivei I cannot say it-Donald-but 1 do thank you iron. my heart"
 T know you do dear" he said. And I am glad you like my little gift. Personally, I have always ad- mired rubies. They are what one might call warm stones."
 And they will always remind me of the warmth of your friendship she said, studying the stones as they glowed in the firelight.

 Well. if you're going to have a visitor I'll duck" replied MT. Jarr.
 "No. you stay just where you are, said Mrs. Jarr. She's the awfullest gossip there ever was, and if she sees you around maybe she won't stay long"

 "Yes, baking" continued Mrs. Hickett. q go every day and have my-er-er-limbs baked, and the precipitation just rolls off me and it is torture-positive torture.
 Your sister is not well?" asked Mir. Jarr, to divert the lady from the recollections of her own sufferings.
 "A stroke" said Mrs. Hickett, in a hollow voice.
 Maybe a change of air will do her good; she should go away to some place." suggested Mrs. Jarr.
 "The only change of air she will have will be when she is taken to the cemetery" replied Mrs. Hickett with another moan. q wouldn t like to see her like my Aunt Jane, bed ridden for 19 years; could not move | hand and had to be waited on like
