"Time for everyone to get up ant wash their faces and get ready fo breakfast" Mrs. Mingle cried as sh, rang little bell at the door of tht dining room.
 Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the Thingum and the Zumzee and Mir. Mungle all hoped from their It, tie white beds and ran to wash their hands and faces, for they were sure Mrs. Mingle would have a lovely breakfast for them. And in thinking this, none of our friends were disa D. pointed, for when they came trooping into the dining room, there was Mrs. | Mingle waiting for them at the head | of table filled with the incest break l fast one could wish for. Mrs. Mingle did not have to get up early and cook this lovely breakfast, for she had a very wonderful cupboard; magic one, from which she could take any kind of goodies she happened to wish for.
 The Zumzee had never eaten such a fine breakfast nor had the Thingum and they enjoyed 1t very very much.
 When they had finished breakfast, Mrs Mingle looked at the Zumzee very hard and said, MT. Zumzee, did you ever have a brother?"
 "Oh! Yes!" the Zumzee replied. "When I was little tiny Zumzee, I had a brother, but one day he disap- peared and 1 never knew what be- came of him. We thought perhaps when he was walking down the street someone must have picked him up and have walked away with him!"
 How sad!" Raggedy Ann and Rag gcdy Andy and the hobby horse cried.
 Indeed 1t was sad!" the Zumzee cried as he wiped the tears from his eyes. Then M~. Mungle turned to the Thingum and asked, MT. Thingum did you ever have a brother?"
 "Oh, yes." the Thingum replied. But one day when I was little boy I was walking down the street and a strange old man asked me If I wanted some candy and when I said yes, he L ok me away and l never could find the way home,"
 Wheel" Raggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy and Mrs. Mingle and the hobby horse cried, Then the brave Thingum is brother to the zumzee!"
 "Yes!" Mir. Mungle laughed. They are brothere!'
 So the Zumzee and the Thingum put their heads on each others ehoul- dcrs and cried with happiness. We must run home and see mama right away" the Thingum cried.
 "Ah." the Zumzee brother cried. One day mama went to hunt you and she never returned and I do not know where she is."
 Then we must all 80 in search of your mama!" Raggsdy Ann said. Tt will make nice a1Senture!"
 So. as Mrs. Mingle wished to go along and as she knew they woul1 all need nice things to eat along the way she said. With my magical eharms, l shall make little wagon and in the wagon we will place my magic cup board SO that whenever we get hun gry. we can reach in the cupboard and get whatever we wish!"
 And I shall pull the little wagon!" the nice kind magical hobby horse cried. So after eating m ice cream cone apiece so they would not get hungry ss1 tired so quickly, Raggedy

In fact, l came over today to find out what was wrong with her."
 I'm going to ask you a very per tinent question, Karl. Are you very fond of Alice?"
 Karl hesitated, turning red, then white.

 What is the matter? Is all this fuss being made about that foolish string of pearls again. Alics doesn't want those pearls"
 "Yes she does, Karl-so mach so that she is perfectly willing to break up my home to get them"
 Leslie, I can't hear this, even from you. You must be mad"
 The nurse came in at this moment saying that my father wanted me.

FABLES ON HEALTH
CARE OF THE HAIR

A hair specialist 10 whom Mrs. Mann of Anytown went once in n while, prescribed for her good treat ment for the hair, and one easily secured.
 Each day ventilate and thoroughly shake the hair to rid 1t of dust that may have gathered.
 A tonic may be easily made at home from a pint of witch-hazel, eight ounces of eau de cologne and a few drams of chloroform (three drams are preferable). Apply the lotion with sponge after shaking out the dust.

If applied twice day good tonic is secured, according to many testi- monials.
 When the hair Is entirely dry brush it with quick downward strokes until a gloss appears
 This Is a particularly easy process with bohhed hair in vogue.
 In applying a shampoo a table spoonful of boraX has been found beneficial for cleansing the scalp; also 1t will heal any irritation or soreness that may be bothering the scalp.

He sat on the grass and propped his back against the corral fence, keeping watch upon the trail that led back to the hills, and also upon the house. If he saw the sheriff com ing for his horse he would disappear behind the nearest shed. If Sally came first he would be there to warn her. He found little comfort in in- action, but it was the only course for the present.
 Half an hour later, still huddled against the fence, he thought he saw dust cloud on the back trail. Polishing his spectacles, he restored them to his nose for another observa- tion. Sure enough, there were two riders coming. They were coming at a gallop, too, and soon they were so near that he could identify Sally beyond mistake. There was fine grace and confidence in the way Sally handled herself in saddle, and it was not lost even upon the Wreck, poor horseman that he was. She could ride rings around Chester Underwood.
 He climbed to his feet as Sally swung herself out of the saddle, and she saw him for the first time. She flashed her quirt in salute.
 Hello, Henry. We've had a bully ride"
 "Uhuh," he answered with a nod.
 The Wreck was trying to give her "a warning before she might betray herself into an indiscretion. Not be- ing adept at expressing his thoughts, save in words, the best he could do was to fashion his features into queer, baleful grimace. Sally was puzzled, and she showed it by a wrinkling of her forehead, which sig nified inquiry.
 Chester slid off his horse, so that for an instant his back was turned. The Wreck quickly laid forefinger against his lips and jerked his head in the direction of the corral.
 Sally looked, then stared, her mouth opening slowly. She knew the black horse out of million. Bob Wells! Swiftly her glance swung in the direction of the house.
 Well" Chester, shall we go up to the house? I'll see you all the way home, you know"
 Sally recovered herself and smiled. l
 You go ahead" she said. Thanks ever so much for the ride. want | to talk to Henry for a minute"
 CHAPTER XIII.
 \ Woman's Place
 When Chester was beyond earshot | she turned to the Wreck and almost | smothered him an an avalanche of | questions. He told it rapidly, while l Sally kept an anxious eye on the house. When he finished she sent | another glance in the direction of the | black horse, who was unconscious of | having created a sensation profound and disturbing.
 You don't suppose he's tracked us?" unused Sally.
 How could he?"
 T don't see how he could either. But Bob's awfully smart when it comes to being sheriff. If he knows we're here, the figs up, of course"
 Scorn and defiance shone in the eyes of the Wreck
 Its a hundred to one he doesn't know we're here" he said. It's a thousand to one he hasn't any idea who he's after. He probably come for some more information. And they're all lying so hard he'll never find out anything"
 Hope so," said Sally doubtfully. How long do you suppose he's going 10 stay?"
