And if the kind policeman had not come along, just at the right time and arrested the two witches, Minga and Munga, we would probably be locked up in their ice boxes!' Rag gedy Andy said.
 T hope by the time the two witches get out of prison, they will forget all about chasing us any more!" Rag gedy Ann said.
 T hope so tool" Raggedy Andy said. And I also hope they change into nice witches so that they will not bother any other folk who come along this way!"
 "Oh! Raggedy Andy!' Raggedy Ann cried. That's just the thingl Let us get out our magic hooks and both wish for Minga and Munga Witch to change from mean little old witches into nice kind witches!"
 "Raggedy Ann is very kindlyl" the nice poor man said. Most people would wish to injure the witches for the trouble they have caused, but here is RaggedyAnn feeling as kindly to- wards the witches as If the witches were good friends!''
 'Of course!" Raggedy Ann laughed. Don't you know, Mister Poor Man, if you always wish to do mean things to another that those mean thoughts fly out into the world and try to find aplace to rest, and If there is no place for the mean thoughts to ind, they come flying right back to whoever sent them out and bring the sender That is why the witches always get into trouble; their mean thoughts have merely come back to themi"

 This morning, I opened letter from New York that was not marked personal, and found that some scoundrel had written Mir Prescott an anonymous letter asking him if he knew that lovely string of pearls you had been wearing was real.
 Now, I don't know whether those beads are real pearls or not, but l just wanted you to know that MT. Prescott got his information anony- mously.
 "I'm going to break my solemn VOW and come to your party. I had not intended to do so, but I am so angry over tlffs anonymous letter that I want you to know that if can do anything to help you in any way, I will do it."
 Of course, I thanked Sally, and \ was glad to know where Jack found it all out, but could not help feeling unhappy that any one knew that Jack and were quarreling.
 All the while she was talking to me I was wondering if it could be possible that my own sister could be so horrid as to have written letter to Jack. I could think of no one else who knew about them who would do so.
 Pretty soon Jack came in and threw letter into my lap. Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Incl

 So the Raggedys got out their two little magic books, the green one and the red one in a few minutes Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy were reading how to change the two mean witches into the nice, kind witches.
 And as they were reading, the two witches came flying up on their magic broom sticks and onto the porch of the house on wheels. "Open the door and let us in, Raggedy Ann!" they cried. "We wish to take away your magic books and other things

And I'll get her out of the country as soon as l can. How about it? Can you finish your din- ner here. or would you rather leave and go somewhere else?"
 "Mhat's on Your Mind?"
 My tauteped nerves relaxed at the assurance in his voice. and felt a sudden weariness and a desire to go home. But my promise to Lil- Han was still unfulflled. so I spoke quickly and with decision.
 Indeed don't. am very com fortable. and altogether too thrifty to let you waste the rest of this wonderful dinner"
 There was nothing sardonic about the laugh he gave in response to my sally.
 "You game little sport!" he ejacu- lated, and there was such sincerity in his voice that flushed with pleasure. "If ever I let anything harm a hair of your head"
 He broke off abruptly and fell to talking in his usual entertaining way of everything and nothing, patently with the idea of diverting my mind from thoughts of Grace Draper.

I will say for him that he had
 nerve, even though it might have
 been born of desperation or exhaus- tion. For. demanding to be shown a bed, he buried himself upon it, and was sound asleep in moment, leav- ing me alone with my thoughts. They were not pleasant thoughts Aside from the shattering of my dreams of rehabilitation, there was my vast self-contempt at becoming a confederate in the Thomassen's vic- tim. Yet had given my word, and the Ainsleys do not break their word
 And then, because I could not sleep, and because could think only of the presence of the beast whom I shell tered, began to examine the situa- tion, to study the promise. which I had made. I had said that I would bring the jewels here in the morning and divide them with my unwelcome guest I had said that I would not try to kill Thomassen, or to strike him or drug him or anything like that.
 l nad not promised that I would not betray him to the police. He was so confident that I would not dare do that thing, that he had not exacted any promise. reddened as thought of this. He believed me to be so lost to decency that I would aid a filthy murderer to cheat justice rather than risk my own precious liberty
 Well, I would surprise him. II would slip outside, telephone the po- lice and then-what? Thomassen, would describe me in de- tail; he would betray my acquaintance with Leedon. That worthy, profess ing of course that he did not know I | was thief, would give an even closer description of me. I would be a hunted fugitive. instead of gentle- man who piled his surreptitious trade without suspicion.

IRISH INDUSTRY DECLINING.

Dublin, July 25.-Miss Somers, the secretary of the Dublin Industrial De- velopment association. in a paper read to the Dublin Publicity Club drew a gloomy picture of the chances of in- dustrial progress in Ireland. During the Sim Fein movement before the treaty the people took strong in terest in supporting Irish manufac- lures and the trade boomed. Now. Miss Somers said, the people were broken in morale and their confidence in themselves shattered, and their present day attitude was one of cyni- cism and disillusion.

l looked up al Harry Underwood with a smile l tried to make brave but which only succeeded in being tTemulous.
 Its not a particularly pleasant out. look for me, is it?" I queried. and in- deed the question covered something very near panic,
 The discovery that Grace Draper was the masked dancer whose ap- pearsnee had so intrigued me. and my escorts comment that her reason for returning to the United States was probably her fanatieal desire to do mo some injury. were exceedingly un- nerying.
 MT. Underwood turned 10 me with astonishment and contrtion written in his expressive face.
 You poor little desil!" he ejsculat- ed. T ought to be kicked. making that remark without qualification. But didn't realize that you wouldn't un- derstand-"
 He paused a second and my nerves prodded me into interrupting:
 What wouldn't I understapd?"
 That you're in no danger what ever from her-now." He hesitated perceptibly before the last word. then went on in rapid explanation. You might have been in danger tonight. It all depends upon how much sanity the girl has left. She knows what the consequences would be were her pres ence in this country discovered by the authorities, and unless an unusually rabid At strikes her. she isn't going to risk losing her liberty perhaps her life, by any open attack upon you"
 The minute I recognized her was ready for her." he declared. "and she didn't have any more chance of get ting at you. provided her poor warped brain had planned such a thing. than William Jennings Bryan has of being elected chairman of the Bootleggers' Union."
 smiled at this, as think he in- tended l should, and he went on, his voice impressive, his eyes emphasizing his words:
 But just get this one fact into your noodle. You're absolutely safe from now on."
 Have you turned her over to the police?" I asked breathlessly.
 MT. Underwood laughed scornfully.
 "The police!" he repeated. Much good that would do! She has protec- ton, somewhere. Don't you remem- Der how soon she was out after that stunt in the war. when she nearly did for old Dicky?"
 Harry Reassures Madge.
 s"I remember" I said, my voice stifled with another remembrance, that of the part which the man be- fore me had played in that awful time that so nearly robbed me of my husband.
 He gave low ejaculation. T can't blame you for distrusting me-" he began huskily, and with a sudden sense of justice I interrupted him.
 But I don't" T said sincerely cannot help remembering. of course, but also recall how you atoned later over in Germany when you saved Dicky's life at the risk of your own. and besides-I know

 Of course, little Marquise, drop ped all preparations for my party anc just sat down and waited.
 I wonder if you know what i means to wait for the inevitable? Nc fortune in all the world is so terrible when you know that nothing you car do will change in any way what k coming to you, and you must wait and worry.
 I thought over carefully all the pecuia. incidents that had occurred since Alice had clasped the pearls about my neck on my wedding day. I told myself that although l had not told Jack about them, yet I my self did not know they were real un- til months afterward
 Whatever I thought, however, I alwiys came back to the fact that Jack, filled with rage, would soon be with me asking for information, snd that he would probably be more furious when he learned the truth. I wondered wearily if could go on with the party if the whole matter was not settled some way before the next night.
 Through all these unhappy thoughts came the question:: Who could have told Jack? No one but Karl, Alice, Ruth and myself knew the whole story, and l am sure not one of them would have told. I was sure of Karl and Ruth, but--surely my sister would not do such a de- spicable thing!
 The clock kept ticking. Wait and see-wait and see-wait and see---''
