going to be left alone" Nanny whis- pered back. ... Nothing that Danny could say would induce her to change her mind. If he went she would go, and that was all there was to it. So after waiting lit tie longer Danny crept out of the little doorway of their house and Nanny was right at his heels. With hearts beating hard with excitement and fear they stole down through the cornstalks until they reached the floor. It seemed very queer to be on boards instead of the earth. Very softly they crept out from under the cornstalks, ready to run back at the least hint of danger, and with eyes wide with wonder they stared about them.
 They knew that when they had begun their strange ride jolly, round, bright Mir. Sun had been shining, for it had been early in the day. But now there was soft duskiness very like the hour just after Mir. Sun goes to bed behind the Purple Hills. They could see per- fectly, because their eyes were made for seeing in the dusk and dark. Before them was great smooth open space "Ath uhJ ctdltNtCu ONCI lt. A little patch of yellow light lay on one side. It came from a little window above the barn door, through which the Jolly Sunbeams were peeping. Behind them was mountain of cornstalks. High up above all around were moun- tains of sweet dry meadow grass that filled the air with familiar delicious smell. Of course this was hay in the l..sk know this, for they never had seen hay mows before. When they looked straight overhead there was no sky There were no little stars, no clouds, no gentle Mis- tress Moon, no jolly Mir. Sun. It was all very strange and puzzling. But one thing they noticed right away; it was very warm and comfortable there, all most as if summer had returned.

 There comes an end that's bright or sad
,By THORNTON BURGEss,

A ND so at last there came an. end 1 A to the strange ride of Danny ana Nanny Meadow Mouse. Whoa " cried the voice of Farmer Browns Boy The shaking and jolting stopped. Cling. ing tightly to each other, Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse strained their ears to hear what was going on outside
 They, heard the horses champing their bits. They heard them stamping their feet on something that made more noise than the ground. It was the floor oi Farmer Browns barn.. but, of course Danny and Nanny didn't know this They heard Farmer Browns Boy tramp | ing on the cornstalks above their heads and whistling as he worked.
 They wondered where they were and what could happen next. You cannot l imagine how they wondered. And all | the time they were more frightened 1 than they ever had been before in all their lives. It always is worse to be | frightened by unknown dangers than by dangers which you know all about. So they clung to each other and sshivered and shook and wondered and waited i By and by the cornstalks in the midst of which their snug little home was were lifted and thrown on to great pile of cornstalks. Danny and Nanny didn't know what was happening, because they i couldn't see, but they felt light-headed, and there was an allgone feeling in their stomacIls, very much such feelings as you would have if your house, with you in it, should be whirled up in the air by great wind and then thrown down with q crash. j.@
 After what seemed to them ages and ages they heard the creaking of wagon wheels and the chatter of horses hoofs and presently all was still. After all that dreadful noise it seemed as if the stiffness could be felt. For long time they kept perfectly still, waiting for something more to happen. But nothing did happen. All was still as still could be. At last Danny could stand 1t no longer.

 "Ha, ha. ha!' Witch Wiggle laughed as she stuffed too much cream puff in her mouth. "We surely fooled the silly Raggedys and the silly Captain when we captured this nice little magic boat!'
 "Indeed. We did" Witch Grundy laughed. "Now we have all the magical things which the Grannys were taking to the Captains mamma and we have the magical boat and we have the Gran nys' home, We can have everything we wish now!"
 Then, as the little magical boat sailed right up over the front fence and came to stop at the front door of the Gran nys' home, the two Witches hopped out with laugh.

costumes may also be appropriately
worn for outside informal affairs dur

economical outlet for the late summer

A typical jeune file model which
could be attractiyely worn by fresh

simple dress of white crepe satin
trimmed with fiower-like rosettes of
