the father of st. Joan of Arc. He
writes:

Clark was quick to see that it only ques-

be wiped out without substantial aid Both Vir-
ginia and North Carolina claimed Kentucky. The
settlers declared themselves Virgnians. A mass
meeting in June elected Clark and Gabriel Jones
delegates to the Virginia assembly. They travelled

journed. To the council Clark made demand for
500 pounds of powder and the creation of Ken

the powder as q personal loan and refused the
county proposition. But Clark "dragooned" the
council into granting both demands

Leslie dear, l am very much con- 1 cerned over Aices marriage. She
 seems to be so different since she
 returned home. She is irritable and
 nagging, and she leads poor Karl such a life that your father said to me the other day that he wouldn't | blame him if he broke the engage ment
 Her latest notion is that she does | not want to live in America after she Is married, She particularly de-
 tests Pittsburgh and you know how devoted Karl is to his old home. ] | don't think he was ever very happy in England. He just stayed over there because he had an idea that Alice needed him.
 l suggested that Karl and she go to your anniversary party, and she was quite impatient at the suggee- ton. Said she didn't understand why she had to make her appearance at your party just because she happened to be your sister-said in very nasty way that Karl could go if he wanted to.
 Leslie, think Alice is making a great mistake because not only your father and 1 but nearly every one in Pittsburgh where you girls grew up knew that Karl was very much in love with you before your marriage. Now that he has transferred that af- lection she ought to be quite satisfied 10 let bygones be bygones. Instead sbe IS always bringing it up and mak- ing Karl uncomfortab ble. If she doesn't look out she will succeed in turning his thoughts back to you--for Leslie darling you were very sweet and charming while we were in New York in contrast to her irritability and salishness.
 Perhaps l oughtn't 10 cay this 10 you, Leslie, about Alice. But l am so worried about this marriage that I had 10 talk 10 someone dare not speak Of it 10 your father because he already has become so out of patience with Alice that l am sure he would be very stern with her.

The Rag gedys and the nice poor man and the magical hobby horse did not know the witches were working the magic un- ti the nice house on wheels ran smack dab into large tree and broke off the front porch. It was fortunate the Raggedys and the hobby horse had just gone inside or they would have been bumped very hard. As 1t was, the nice poor man tumbled from the room and bumped his head upon the tree.
