 I'm afraid we ought to have stuck to the road,' said Sally.
 The Wreck had insisted on cut ting across the range, when they reached point opposite the Bar-M coulee.

 But it's pretty steep, Henry" She looked down the long greer slope with calculating eye.

 See what you get for having a reputation like that" Dicky said laughIngly as he handed the valise to me,
 It's one you'll! never have" his mother retorted, but there was no aoerbity in her voice, and her whole manner was so different from her usual caustic dcmeanor that l studied her furtively all the way home.
 She was the same Mother Ora ham, yet different, for she was curiously sleek and satisfied Moth CT Graham, exactly, l told myself with a mental apology to her, as if she were an aristocratic Angora who had obtained unexpected ac- cess to the cream bottle She was good natured, kindly and excessive ly patronizing to me in little-girl- Lam -your-best- friend sort of way, which I found extremely amusing.
 Her amiability extended even. to Katie, whom she greeted with a mixture of cordiality and grande dame returning -chatelaine- of-the- castle -hauteuf, which gave Dicky a suspicious choking fit, and made my little maid look at her in wide eyed amazement sBut it did not affect Katie's culinary skill. The dinner which she served as soon as the returning travellers had fresh- ened up after their journey was a triumph even for Katie, who is used to doing things in the superlative

 Flush, Junior!" l whispered, bu in vain. He repeated his query adding emphatically:

 Dicky gave a startled look at me which I feigned not to see, ant Mother Graham trained the battery of her gaze upon me.
 And who, may ask, is Mollic? 9 she queried frigidly.

When the giant came to Mir. Tun- kys store, where lie kept the in- visible toys and good things to eat, the giant gave Mr. Tunky lot more things, such as little red bicycles, roller skates and other things boys and girls like.
 You can give them 10 good little boys and girls" the giant said.
 Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the kind hearted witch thought this was. very nice thing for the giant to do and they all thanked him Eery politely Then, when the giant had gone home and MT. Tunky was inside his little store giving a lot Of toys to little children and Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the witch were sitting out in front of the store, man came along and stop- ped. He was tall, thin man with long nose and he did not seem 10 see the Raggedys and the witch at all, "Ha. the man said as he rub he'd his hands together. This is just the kind Of store l have always wanted for my very own It is not too large, nor yet too small I will walk inside and see what there is to see."
 Maybe you had better wait until MT. Tunky has finished giving away the toys to the nice little boys and girls" Raggcdy Andy said to the man.
 "Ha' Indeed, | shall not wait" the man replied. For if Mir. Tunky is giving the things away, ] must hurry, for if have the store for my very own, l will sell the toys in- stead Of giving them Away"
 Then you shall not go inside," Raggedy Andy said. For there are lots of children in there and you would spoil all their fun.'
 I'd just like 10 know who says l cant go inside the store,' the strange man said. Just you tell me that, Raggedy Andy"
 "I 'spect you will have to wrestle him. Raggedy Andy" Raggedy Ann said. But please be careful and do not tear his clothes.''
 T shall not tear his clothcs.' Raggedy Andy promised. But 'spect l shall have to wrestle him hard."
 Indeed. You will" the man said as he rolled up his sleeves. For intend 10 chase all the children out of the store mighty quick"
 Then we shall soon see!'' Rag gedy Andy promised as he got ready 10 wrcstle as hard as he could First, the tall man tried to trip i Raggedy Andy, then Raggedy Andy ! tried to trip the tall man; then the tall man threw Raggedy Andy down, but Raggedy Andy got right up again. Then Raggedy Andy pushed, and the man pushed until neither enc could out push the other and the wrestling match had to be called a tie"
 As soon as we rest awhile, 'spect we will have to fight" the man said.
 What shall we fight with?" Rag gedy Andy asked for he knew it was wrong to fight. We shah fight with sticks" the man said. "ForI am good fighter, I can tell you!"

that first greeting to British East Aries s
 Next day at noon we were to start forth on the most wonderful railroad in the world through. na- lures zoo. Our journey would not end until we reached the first camp of the Roosevelt expedition on the game-crowdcd Kapiti Plains ---2SS miles from the coast.
 CHAPTER II
 "Goodby. Teddy Roosevelt - and
 Coed HuntiDgv
 Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit. as we'll as the three scientific members of the expedition-Major Edgar A. Mearns (U, $. A. retired). Edmund Heller and J. Allen Loring--were dressed in serViceable looking khaki hunting clothes and sun-helmets.
 k. J. Cunningham, the manager and professional guide of the expe- dition, had come down to Mombasa to meet the party and 10 help them entrain their large quantities of stores and baggage. He was going to travel with the the special train 10 Kapiti Plains, and had been hard at work since daylight experimenting the loading of the luggage for the party.
 In addition 10 the personnel of, the Roosevelt expedition the train was to carry as far as Nairobi the acting governor, Sir Frederick J. Jackson, Lady Jackson, other government and railway officials, and the newspaper | men.
 There had never been any secret that Colonel Roosevelt strongly, and l think iustifably. objected to news paper men following him to or into Africa. He had been kind enough to waive his objection in SO far as 1 was personally concerned; but he made it clear to other correspon- dents who had travelled with him from Naples 10 Mombasa that when Ee reached Africa the bars would not be lifted.
 You can go 10 Africa, of course" he had told us. T can't prevent that; nor do wish to do so, But I have every right'to insist that my privacy in the hunting camps must be respected. have not the slightest objection to any of you making your headquarters at points on the rail- road, but you must not follow me on my hunting expeditions.
 Personally, I think we all realized that his wishes in this respect were reasonable and that they should be respected lTonorably, He had prom ised to let us have such news of his shooting luck as would be worth news cables; but, quite naturally, he was bound to protect the terms of his contract with Messrs. Charles Scribner and Sons for his book on African Game Trails" So far none of us had the slightest foundation for coEiplaint about his fair treat ment Of ps. He had been frankness itself; and, moreover, he had even gone out Of his way 10 remove ob- slRcjcs from our paths. , U (Continued in Our Next lssue.)

 Just before he left Colonel Roose- welt showed me a cablegram that he was going to send 10 the German emperor, cordially assentlng to my use of the message us a news story The cablegram read.
 S"I desire to eSpress to your ma jesiy my deep appreciation for my treatment on the Admiral under Captain c. Doherr, and my great admiration for the astounding energy of the growth of the mercantile and colonial interests of Germany in East Africa"
 This message of goodwill was characteristic of Theodore Roose- yelt. More than once on that voy- age between Naples and Mombaea he had spoken to me in most appre- c.ative terms of the type of men Germany was sending out for pio- neer work in their East African colony.
 As suddenly as the sun had set, SO had darkness swept over the land. In the tropics there Is no twilight. The sun dips below the horizon and, few minutes later it is night With the disappearance of the sun came dcluge of rain. No waterproof ever invented could withstand such \ a orrentiai->yainfall
 But the rain did not fall until the special train, conveying Che Roose- velts to Mombasa, had departed. As the ex-president had set foot on the quay, the large gathering of the off, cial and civilian notables of the island had greeted him with loud and prolonged cheers. There could | be no mistaking the genuine warmth and earnest cordialitw of

and smoking.
 Were going to hit something." cried the Wreck.
 Sally opened her eyes.
 Don't hit the kitcheQ." she cried Mas in there! Hit the corraln' I He could at least steer, and he did. | They hit the corral. A section of fence flew into kindlings and the flivver charged onward. The sorrel horse, directly in it's path, lifted his head, snorted, wheeled. lashed out with his heels and missed it by inches. The fence on the farther side loomed. There was a second crash, a lurch, a spIintering of various things. The flivver stopped.
 Dad Morgan, who was leaning against the fence a few yards dis tant, removed his pipe from his mouth and examined the situation with interest.
 T see you made good time gettin' back" he remarked.
 Dad" cried Sally.
 "Howdy, Sally? Howdy, Wreek?"
 He strolled near for a better look at the fi1vVer One of the wheels was crumped. Both mudguards were curled up, the windshield was gone and there was rivulet of steaming brown water dripping from the radiator.
 T reckon" said Dad, that her nervous system is kind of shot up."
 "Oh, Dad""
 Sally leapcd cl@rlor the wreck age and had her arms around his , neck.
 "Git the trousseau?" he asked, when she let 20 of him.
 'Trousseau!" cried Sally, Why, I'm married!"
 Well, I'll be durned!"
 Where's Ma? I want to tell her"
 Well, I'll be durned," repeated Dad. Your Mas over 10 the house, l reckon. Where's Bob?"
 Sally began to laugh.
 I'm not married to Bob I'm married to Henry Williams"'
 Dad Morgan's glance wandered to the Wreck, who was still sitting in the flivver, gloomily surveying his work.
 1 Now will be dorned.' he said thoughtfully. Come to think oi it. I reckon I'll be damned"
 You'd better be nice to him. warned Sally, in a whisper He, the dearest thing in the world"
 She raced away in the direction oi the house, where the slight figure oi Ma Morgan stood framed in tho kitchen doorway.
 Dad watched her go. Well women were queer folks. But i Sally said it was all right, tha settled it. Married. eh? Tho Wrecl was his son-in-Isw! Fair enough he unused. Sally always insisted the Wreck was game. His owl course of conduct was clear.
 "Wheck," he said, "providin' ain't necessary for you to sit ther' watchin' the remains, there's bottle up at the house.
 Sure" said the Wreck, as h climbed down. Only don't grin a me. Hear me? Don't grin! | makes me nervous" THE END.
