 Lets try it!" Raggedy Ann cried.
 Raegcdv Ann took the three gray hairs from her pocket and Berty Bear held them while RaEgedy Andy held tbe round piece Of glass so the sun would shine through it and make q tiny spot on the hairs. Soon a thln thread of smoke curla1 up, and when Ragredy Ann held the invisible books in the smoke the magic books became visible. First as they watched the books could be seen very hay, but me longer they were held in the smoke the plainer they became, and when Rargedy Ann was satisfied that they were as visible as they had ever bcen' she told Raggedy Andy 10 put the glass back into his pocket. And she nut the three hairs from the Witch < head back in her pocket again.

 Raggcdy Ann said, "For if it had not been for him, we would never have escaped from old Banban the roniurcr!r Everyone thought nice new large mouth would be nice, so that the hobby horse could cat what ever he wished.
 So Raggcdy Ann read from the Magical book. the large red one. just how to make mouths in Hobby Horses and in a few moments. inc hobby horse could take six cookies in his mouth at one time. But Raggedy Ann told him never 10 do this as 1t was very impolite and iil-mannered to cram a whole lo, of things in ones mouth at one time.

It was very pleasant at the cookie field, for the field was a very large one and was entirely surrounded by the deep. deep woods.
 The cookies were Of all colors and navors and were covered with candy icing. Raggedy Ann decided that 1t would be nice for everyone if they would stay at the lovely cookie field until some one came along who would lend them a match.
 The Raggedys wanted a match to tuild a little fire so that they could take the three hairs from the witch's head and hold the invisible magic books in the smoke. This was the only way they could charm the magic books and make them become visible.

MY HUSBANDS

 I did not dare admit even to my self what l had feared to hear, and went on with rapid questioning.
 How did they come out 10 your house?
 Nantes eyes light up.
 In a big car," she said. "A fine car"
 Of course, I mentally assented' with d comment upon the first aid to crime which the modern motor is But aloud I only said Very well, now. you may tell me what Miss Fawcctt told you to do with the things"
 Mamies mouth flew open, and l watching warily ready to explain away my use of the name should Mamie not react to it, saw that l again had struck twelve.
 "You know that girl?" she qheried sharply.
 "Yes, I know her" I returned in- differently, but that has nothing to do with this. What did she tell you to do with the cloaks?"
 "She said" Mamie began slowly, as if coming lesson, that my auntie wanted me to keep these cloaks for her until she sent for them. She said there was nothing wrong about them, but that she and her friends would get into a lot of trouble if the cloaks were found be- fore she got ready to send for them"
 How much did she pay you?" asked cynieally for I know that with Mamie's kind the ties of kinship need strengthening with some- thing more substantial than heart throbs.
 "One hundred dollars" she an- swered, evidently before she had time to reflect, for she clapped her hand over her mouth, and glanced with quick furtiveness at aKtie.
 "Und she say she gif me half vot dey brought her." Katie commented. "oh-h, vot an awful story-teller you, are Mamie"

How Madge Trapped Mamie Into Interesting Admissions

AhAiiii71t'AA1
 As Mamie reluctantly named the actual sum she had given Katie for hiding the fur cloaks, turned to my little maid with as much impressment as if she had not told me the amount but a few minutes before.
 'Is that right, katie?" l asked.
 Dots right" Katie nodded her head emphatically, and l graVely handed the ten-dollar bill to Mamie.
 Now that is settled" I said crisp Iy, And 1 am ready to hear the truth about this thing. First, you may tell me when Mir. and Mrs. Marks sent you these coats"
 I auaked a bit as I shot this bolt, for after ali I might have been mis- taken in the odd chain of circum- stances connecting the girl, Mamie, and my odd neighbors of our city apartment. But the girls eyes showed me instantly that was upon the right track,
 How do you know that?" she faltered.
 Never mind" I returned loftily, for I knew from experience the sure way of reducing her type to tracta- bility. Tt is sufficient that l do know it. But I must know now when they sent them and what they told you to do with them"
 Mamie studied my face for min ute, patently trying to see how much she dared conceal. Then she drew deep breath and I knew my ruse had succeeded. She would tell every thing she knew.
 My aunt sent them to me two weeks ago." she said slowly.
 How" l asked. By mall, ex- press or messenger?'
 Messengers" Mamie returned la conically.
 "How Many"
 noted the plural
 '.How many?" asked quickly.
 ''Two."
 Something subconscious seemed to prompt my next query:
 "Men or women?"
 "One man and one woman"
 A little warning bell rang deep in my consciousness.
 What did the woman look like?"
 Mamie considered a long minute, while my pulses raced unaccount- ably.
 "she was young. not much older than me" she said at last, and she was very pretty-like a picture" l kept myself from betraying my interest only by violent effort.
 Tell me just how she looked" I said qniety Mamie struggled for a minute with her vocabulary, and then gave me graphic description of Mollie Flaw cettl When she finished I realized that l had known it from her first naming of messengers as the method by which Mrs. Marks had sent out the coats.

Coast Guard Engaged in Real
Warfare Against Rum Runners

smugSlers who were unloading their
boat which had just arrived from
the rum heet. Despite the fire opened
on the Coast Guard men, number
of cases Of liquor were seized. The
overwhelming numbers forced the
COAST Guard men to withdraw for re.
inforcements. The Coast Guard picket
boat from the Sandy Hook station
responded. These two Coast Guard
boats. with a total now of seven men
returned to the scene and despite the
falling tide and hot fire onensd
on them from the shore. the Goa st
Guard men landed and deployed
skirinishers Oh the beacn Though
the smugelers still outnumbered the
Coast Guard men. they were driven
OF by the return fire. and a portion
OF the Scotch whisky they had land
ed was captured.
Fights Of this kind. sometimes
miles out in the open sea and at other
times along lonely beaches on the
Jersey and Long Island coasts, are
typical of the warfare which the
Coast Guard are now engaged in

heet. Admiral Billiards. job is to out
guess the officers of the rum fleet
and to spring surprises on them
through some unexpected tactics. To
that end he has forbidden interviews
by Coast Guard officers to the press
and refused requests to allow corre-
spondents to go out with cutters on
patrol. His position is that the Coast
Guard is not engaged in a publicity
campaign, but in actual warfare
against an enemy with brains and
financial backing and a wonderful in
telligence service.
The special concentration now is
along the coast of New Jersey, New
York and New England, although
great deal is being done now in Puget
Sound. off San Francisco and in the
Gulf of Mexico.

month Admiral Billiard sprang a sur
