The Raggedys and little Weekly walked through the Grotto until they came to place where the long hal branched cut into two halls. Let us take this hallway" little Weekly said as he pointed to the hallway to the left.
 "All right" Raggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy said. Tt makes no differ ence to us, Mister Weekly"
 So down it they walked until they came to a round door.
 Now what in the world can be in here ?' Ragged Andy wondered.
 There is only one way to find out,' little Weekly laughed, and that is to open the door and walk in.' So he pushed the round door open and put his head inside. Its great big bakery or something like that" he said.
 Then let Us go inside." Raggedy Andy said For if 1t Is bakery, they may have lot of cookies. or cakes and pies and nice things to eat!''
 T guess they haye!" little Weekly replied. At least, l can smell some thing which smells very much like cookies, or cakes baking!"
 Little Weekly and Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy walked through the round door and came to large trays of cake dough and cookie dough and tread dough and doughnut dough and all kinds of other goody doughs
 But they could discover no cookies already cooked although there was a lot of candy icing to cover. the cakes and cookies with, just as soon as any were baked.
 "I know" little Weekly cried. Everyone who comes in here is sup posed to bake the kind of goody he likes best, In that way everyone will have tho cakes and cookies nice and fresh"
 "Then Ict Us bake our own cookies, Mister Wccky" Raggedy Ann said as she rolled up her sleeves and reached for a rolling pin. "I will roll out the cookie dough, Raggedy Andy can cut out the cookies and Mister Weekly, you can put the icing on them when they have baked.'

M8dge and Leila Were Left to Close the House

l looked at Katherine with an un- derstanding little smile.
 'I thought Her Flufiness had mistaken Dr. Braithwaite." l said
 "Me meant her to mistake him. '' Katherine returned, He knows that in patient of Mrs. Durkee's type, it is imperative to keep the mind oc- cupied with something foreign to the impending operation"
 He certainly succeeded" l com mented dryly, The prospect of Mrs Braithwaite remaining behind here with me and Strengthening up her house was most bracing pre- scription,"
 Wasn't it?" Katherine agreed, and then with wary glance around, and a discreetly lowered voice, she added:
 But that was not the chief reason for his Machiavelian little scheme"
 You mean-Lsila ?'
 Two Problems Solved
 Exactly. She is so near hysteria herself that it IS vitally necessary to keep her away from her mother in-law as much as possible. Of course she will have to see her some time before night at the hospital. The elder woman will insist on that, and we shall have to humor her, but pr. Braithwaite wishes you to keep Leila out here just as long as you possibly can, so that her call at the hospital will be extremely brief. Sc. do your-prettiest."
 With a mischievous little moue at me, she turned back toward Mrs. purkee's room, whether I followed her with an admiring respect for the Hdroit manner in which the big surgeon had solved simultaneously two delicate problems involving the difficult feminine equation.
 Of the few minutes remaining be- fore the arrival of the limousine which Harriet Brsithwaite had or aered, scarcely one was left unpunc- tuated by little Mrs. Durkee's voluminous directions concerning the osre of her things, I had observed that everything was in its usual inn maculate order-"Her Fluhiness" is . housekeeper par excellence--but one would have thought that more topsy-turvy place never existed, to listen to the little woman's laments.
 The whole place is sight I am ashamed to leave it this way, she kept repeating; until at last, fearing that her worry was partly fenuine, I put my hand under her chin and turned her face'up to mine.
 Look here Jeremiah" said sauc- fly I've listened to all the lamen- tations can stand. We'll agree that no city slvm ever equaled the condition of your home, but why brag about it?"
 She laughed heartily. which was what I wanted, and it was but a minute or two afterward, when simil- ing, dimpling, waving her hand to Leila and me, as if she were going to some long anticipated fate, she stepped into the limousine and was whired away.
 My throat felt as if constructing hand were upon it, and my eyes were perilously near 10 tears at her brave farewell fear that if 1 had been alone I should have indulged in the feminine relief of a good cry" but Leila's quick, choking breathing beside me, warned me that I must let no hint of my own emotion es- cape me.

 We are waiting for the cookies to bake,' Raggedy Ann said.
 Presently the cookies were done and Raggcdy Andy took them from the oven. "I guess We won't wait to rut the candy icing on the cookies" little Wreky said as he winked at the Raggedys.
 Because why? Because Mister Hooky Goblin is sitting in the candy icing and by this time he has stuck last to the table as you sec. We have the nice cookies and we have also es- capped from Hooky!" And Raggedy Ann left six cookies with Hooky for no one knew when he would get away from the sticky candy icing.
