 Raggedy Andy did not know which way kind little wecky intended rur- ming. so he ran down one hallway while weeky ran down the other Then. when Raggedy Andy heard Rsggedy Ann cry.

My. How the broken ice tinklet ss it flew in all directions when the kind little Weekly carrying Raggedy Ann and Rsggedy Andy skated right through Hooky. the Goblin's ice door
 "Ha! Ha!" Kind little Weekly laughed. we have escaped from Hooky, the Goblin but just hear him hopiing back al his broken door.''
 And even though little weeky's skates went "Ciippity! Clippity." against the ice as he sped along, the hsggadys could hear Hooky, the Cob lin back at the door howling, Just you wait, I'll catch you yet and make all Of you into noodle soup!"
 After kind little Weekly had skated a long way with Raggedy Ann and RagEedy Andy. he stopped and sat down. 'I will have 10 rest a little e ehile!" he said. Its lots of fun skat- ing though and like to skste!"
 'It's queer that Hooky, the Goblin, doesn't skate when he lives right in the ice Grotto!" Rageedy Andy said.
 Kind little Weekly laughed, He docs," he said when he stopped laughing. But Hooky never skates on ice skates, He always skates on roller skates
 '.Idaen!'s Raeredy Ann said. Doesn't that sound as if Hooky were coming?"
 Everyone listened and sure enough, they could hear the clump. clump of the Goblin's feet running towards them.
 We must hurry" little Weekly cried as he again caught up the Rag re5ys and started skating. for a short distance from here the ice stops and then I will have to take of my fre skates"
 "Hsre we ars." little Weekly cried as hs stopped and put the Raegedys down. 'Now help me take of my skates, We haven't moment 10 lose! The Goblin will be here soon."

 l smiled approvingly at the door which Katherine closed upon me. There was no surer method of oc- cupying the attention of Her Fluff ness than to interest her in some sartorial detail. and Katherine evil dently had studied her patient with care.
 I met my distinguished brother-in- law in the hall below and detained him Cor the few seconds which judged requisite for the slipper fas- tening. Then l gave him Katherine's message, and went into the living room. where Alfred was standing with helpless, strained look upon his face, while Leila, with face hidden against him. sobbed quietly, Harriet Braithwaite stood looking out of the window in a patent effort to make her presence as unobtrusive as pos sible. l went up to her and with a meaning hand upon her arm, manoeuvred her out of the room and into the library across the hall.
 That woman is either sick or silly, and l haven't made up my mind which," she said tartly, when I had closed the door behind us.
 ''The first.n I said Loyalty, although l had my own private impatience for Leila's tears. and then waited help lessly. forebodingly, until a knock sounded on the door and Alfred beckoned us into the living room, with the words:

 How to fast: abstain from eating for one day and see how it affects you.
 Do your regular routine work. You might cat very light breakfast, but no other food during the day. Drink five or six phases Of water. Fasting gives a rest to your digestive system.

When Dr. Braithwaite Examined Mrs. Durkee

Our dinner was a distinctly sober meal and no one did it justice save Dr. Braithwaite and his wife. Being only casual acquaintances of the Dur Sees. they naturally did not share the grief-stricken anxiety which pos sessed Alfred and Leila, and in which l was also d participant. Urged by Katherine. Leila had come down stairs to preside at the table, while my little kinswoman took up shs vigil outside Mrs. Durkee's door. Y, of course. was the only possible proceed ure. but wondered if both Katherine and Harriet Braithwaite were not vaguely relieved at the arrangement which kept the little nurse from the dinner table.
 Leila's presence, however. was a trial to herself and to the rest Of us, for there was no ignoring the fact that she was keeping back her tears with the utmost difficulty. l knew that in her heart, as in Alfred's and mine, was the vision of the cheery little woman we so loved engaged in the preparation of the dinner. the morbid wonder whether or not. The necessity for bringing in the aft gioomy reflections. and before the cups were drained I heard Kather- ines low call to me.
 She met me at the tcp of the stairs and spoke peremptorily in my ear.
 "She is awake and perfectly willing to see Dr. Braithwaite. l shall have her ready in five minutes, Please tell him at once.'
 Keyed Up For Ordeal
 I ran downstairs and delivered the message. Dr. Braithwaitc put down his coffee cup and rose abruptly.
 I'd like 10 scrub up bit" he sad ta Alfred. Harriet, will you give my bar to Madge?"
 "Lavatory right here" Alfred sad, leading him away, while Harriet handed me small black bag with the air Of one entrusting a young baby to an inexperienced nurse. l hurried upstairs with it and tapped lightly at Mrs. Durkee's door, speak ing my name as I did so that the lit- tie woman might not be startled,
 Katherine opened the door almost immediately and motionod me in- side.

PRESENT HOPI VILLAGES
BUILT ABOUT 1850 Is
VERDICT OF SCIENTISTS

Scientists during the last few days
have determined that the Hopi build
ings In many of the villages north
east of Flagstaff date back to some
where near 1850, when the Hopis re-
volted against the Spanish priests and
tore down the missions, using many
of the timbers in their own structures.
DR. A. e. Douglas of the state uni
versity, Tucson; DR.. j. A. Jeancon, of
the state museum, Denver, Colo, and
Mr.. Ricketson, nephew of Andrew
Carnegie, yesterday returned from
the Hopi pueblo villages east of Flag
staff, where they had been for week
making studies of the wooden beams
in these ancient structures.
The investigation was made partly
on behalf of the American Geographic
society.
Professor Douglas, as is we'll known,
has for years made close study of
the rings IN Arizona trees, from which
he has been able to determine, from
the fact that each year ring is form
ed, not only the ages of the trees, but
the degree of moisture during the
life of the tree, even back for many
hundreds of years.
With Mr.. Douglas knowledge the
scientists expected during this trip to
be able to determine from the beams
in the Hopi pueblos and kivas pretty
closely to the exact time they were
cut from the forests.
They succeeded. 1t took some lit

tie time to get permission to make
borings in the beams, which are sac
red. Consequently long pow-wow.
The three white men and three Indian
chiefs sat for hours in one of the XII
vas, smoking all the time and ali the
time talking.
1t was fully explained to the chiefs
that Uncle Sam was interested III
their errand, that there was nothing
commercial about it, that the holes
would not harm the beams and that
each hole would be carefully plugged
after bit of turquoise had first been
placed in each boring to keep away
the evil spirits.
Then permission was given. DR..
Douglas took inch borings in many of
the beams.
He found that they were cut pretty
close to 1920. Tradition says that it
was about then the Spanish priests
built their missions in the northeast
ern Arizona Indian country. Mark
ings show that the trees were cut
about 1920, perhaps little later, in
the pine forest around Flagstaff and
in some cases from pine forests north
of the villages.
They were dragged to the desert
and built into the missions.
Then came the revolt. The mis-
sions were torn down and the timbers
taken out and put into the Indians
own buildings. Many of the beams
are richly carved with stars, <-osses
and rosettes, which DR.. Douglas says
was done by the Spaniards. Where
the beams are not exposed to the
weather, in dry buildings, they are in
a perfect state of preservation. In
buildings more damp there is some
decay. The ends exposed to the wealth
er have rotted away.
The party visited Oraibi and half
dozen other villages in that section.
DR.. Douglas leaves TODAY for Tucson.

PATRICK JOHNSTON OF
WILLIAMS Is DEAD

Patrick j. Johnston, affectionately
known as Paddy" among his friends,
died last Saturday night at 11:20, fol-
lowing a brief illness. Mr. Johnston
had suffered great deal from rheu-
matism of late years and this, togeth-
er with his advanced age had kept
him in rather poor health for some
time. His faithful wife, who had been
his affectionate companion since 1888,
died three years ago and since that
time Paddy had never been quite
his old jolly self although he remain
ed cheerful in spite of his sorrow. A
few days before his death he made a
trip to Bellemont and took severe
cold which was perhaps the imme-
diate cause of his demise.
Everyone loved Paddy" who al
ways had cheerful word for every
one he met and who was ever ready
to help neighbor or friend. He came
to Arizona in 1893 and was engaged
by the Saginaw Lumber Co. as Gland
locker" and held his position for many
years. About five years. ago he took
up a homestead out near the Belle
mont camps and the care of this ranch
had been his chief work since that
time
Patrick Johnston was born in Tren-
ton, Canada, in 1918, and came to the
States in 1888, engaging in the lum-
Der business at Saginaw, Mich. 1t
was here that he met Miss Elizabeth
RILEY, who stood for home and hap
piness in his life until her passing
three years age.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Tuesday afternoon, from the Cath
olic church of which Nj. Johnston was
a member. Interment was made IN
the local cemetery where the deceas-
ed was laid to rest beside the grave
of his wife.
Patrick Johnston's brother, Frank,
was the only immediate relative able
to be present. He has been engaged
in managing Patrick's ranch for the
past few months.
There were no children born to the
union of Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick john
ston.-Williams News.
Mr.. Johnston was well known in
Flagstaff and had many friends here
who sincerely mourn his demise.
