"Yo1 must be very brave to Urrstle two Hobgoblins and throw them both over the side o' this Title magical boat," Raggedy Ann said Q the little fat Captain after she had started the magical boat and they had left the two Hobgob- l'ns sitting upon the hard ground bowling like Hobgoblins always howl when they have bumped their haads
 "Ha," tue little fat Captain laughed, Let me tell you a secret. Eaggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, No one should he afraid Of Hobgob- hns even a smidgin, cause Hobgob- 'ins make lot of poise but they never do anything. And if you would pick up even a tceny wrcny stick and hit one of them, they would just howl and howl BE loud as everything. So I knew this and when they tried 70 wrestle me 10 throw me over the side Of this boat, I whispered in their ears when ] vas fusseling with them I guess I'll g"t stick and crack both of yon Hobgoblins with it' and tlat male them afraid and they couldn't 7'restle two beans. No, sir. G'd never he afraid Of Hobgoblins. cause they are easy to wrestle"
 Tho little magical boat was sail Ing along tust few feet from the gronrd through the deep, deep woods and the Raggcdys and the little fat Captain thought the Hoh- Cohlins were far, far behind them, so they were surprised when they heard loud shouting and saw Mir. Henry Hobgohiin md his Hobgoblin boy and q HobgobIin woman flying right ur to fne hack of the boat.
 The three Hobgoblins were rid Ing upon three broom sticks and aS soon as they touched the deck of 'hc boat they hoped from their broom sticks,
 ] ms IS Mrs. Henry H0bgoOiln. MT, Henry Hohgobhn said.
 "Pisased 10 meet you. Mrs. Henry H9bgohlin," the little Captain said us h. tipped his cap, And 'this is EaRgedy Ann and Raggedy Andy.'
 How do you dol" Mrs. Henry Hohgoh'iu said. T came 10 find out just why you threw Mir Henry Hohgohltn and Harry Hobgobin over fht side Of your boat! They both tell me that they fell right upon their Hobgohlin heads and made large bunps..'
 The Captain threw them over board causc they tried 70 throw the Cap,gin overheard and he Is so used 'o wrestling with his crew when they muunicd he could easily threw MT. Henry and Harry Hob goblin upon their heads" Raggedy Andy explained. Just thon Raggcdy Ann came out of the cabin with a argo plate Of cheese nibbles and six glasses of ginger ale with ice in it, and the ice tinkled as she walked. Raggedy Ann gave each Of the HobgobliIs glass Of ginger ale and a lot ss cheese nibbles,

How Ice Chow Helped Get Junior

 A real angel vl'b wings could not Aa,e b,rn more welcome vision 10 my eyes than was Ice Chow when He appeared at the side Of tho car with the announcement ths' h. would drive home, SD hat I might hold my suddenly aftN,ted li'ua son Tn my lap.

 Her face was white and strained and genuine terror was mirrorcd in her eyes. So infectious was her fear that for q p8nic-stricken second, my own heart faltcred. But in an- other second I had rallied my com mon sense. and whispered back sternly:
 Katie, you are only hindering me by this nonsense. Get into the car at once, for must get this child to 8 physician as soon as ] can"
 She turned away oDodiently, but I saw her gaze rowing from tho front seat beside Ice Chow 70 the sat beside me in the rear and Knew mat EOe NDDtl lOl IlDHh' Ap the seat in front unless l gave her th. explicit order. Before l could speak, however, Marion. with in. tuition as unrannily quick as h"r uanther's, made an apparently eager query,

ready had been debating the ques- ton in my own mind,
 Which Way"
 "nrive directly to Southampton hospital" l said. We are only about an hours drive from there, and have no Idea where I could find q physician before that town"
 dlI not add Inc most potent ar guNent for the hospital, that if ] il1 find a doctor would not know how competent he was 10 recor- sA~ and combat the strange poi son which was affecting my little lals face
 My ox0"rlcuco with the child told mo shat he was not what mothers call "heart sick" and that thc poi son was not troubling his digestive organs Therefore, I was wiling 10 risk the delay in treatmout for th" sake of obtaining the best authority possible.
 l knew that Dr. Petit Won'l he at inc hospital at fyo o'clock, for Katherine was on night duty with q patient Of his. who was in a most critical condition, and l had heard her say that the physician made a call iMre every day at that hour. Barring accidents VIC should he at the hospital in plenty Of time to se- cure his services.
 There are times when I dislike Dr. Petit, and there is something about his personality which always grates upon my nerves, but there is no physician in whose skill l have more confidence. I often wish did, for between us there are memories, some ludicrous, some tragic some simply tiresome - which, I think, neither Of us cares 10 recall, and our occasional meet ings hold embarrassment for both of us. But there is no doctor nearer than the great city to whose care would be willing to conlde my loved ones.
 Lee Chow gave me nc reply save a nod of the head, as he started the car and drove 1t toward the main road with an ease which show cd experience. l. was charac- teristic of hie economy sf words that, although l was sure he was unfamiliar with the long Island countryside, he spoke no word un- III he reached the Montauk high way. when he asked a single ques- ton;

ABLEs ON HEALTH
-TABLEs ON HEALrH-- ENCOURAGE DANCING

Most people in Anytown. as else where danced because they enjoyed dancing.
 But the beneficial exercise in- volvcd is very seldom considered.
 Yet, next to proper walking and breathing, dancing is the best form of exercise. Man has danced his way down through the centuries, but generally with 9 motive other than exercise. He has been happy and danced in glee, or agitated and danced in ritual or rage. IL has ever been great emotional outlet.

 had 10 be Kent" Wise said, slow ly. But I didn't know his real req son. thought. of course, he just removed Raynor to save his sister from further unhappiness. see now how that really high minded man could bring himself to do it. It was partly brotherly devotion and partly 3 slight twist in his not quite normal mind, that gave him the heroism needed. As to tho rub bers. when l found a tiny specf of green paint on the print on the floor, and when I learned that the ! little bridge had been painted not so very long ago, I couldn't help linking that up with Kent, Then, , we had no proof that he was on the bridge at seven o'clock. As matter of fact he wasn't. Dolly Pays watch was fast and Kent knew it. He'd been watching his chance, he took advantage Of , Dolly's statement about the time, and utilized It for his own alibi. He came up to the house fully five or ten minutes before seven. entered the sun room and shot Raynor and dropped the pistol and went out again. Then he removed the over shoes-'
 Dolly said he didn't wear any when he was with her." Zizi ob- iccted.
 "He did. though. Those slip.on affairs show 50 little that she didn't notice them. He removed them after the shot was fired, and hid { them, probably in the shrubberys Later. he hid them in Gannon's closet, which was a capital place - if my little zizi hadn't been 1 clever enough 10 look there. Ever since, Kent has been waiting to see if his sister should be really ac- cused, and as soon as she was, he was ready,
 When he did confess, l knew he was really telling the truth, but ! pretended to think he was making up In order to test him out. He said at once that if Mrs. Raynor vas freed from suspicion he would not confess. but If she were accused he was ready 10 avow the crime. A strange being. Kent"
 . What made you first think of Kent" asked Zizi thoughtfully,
 "Ttret, think, when he said he walked np from the bridge admir- ing the sunset. There was no sun s"t at the time he pretended to rome up - at seven. I looked up tho weather records most carefully. I knew he lied about the sunset, or else he had come about 10 minutes earlier. Al seven every vcstige of sunset after-ehects had faded from the sky. Them next, Miss Turner said positively that when Kent came in, little after seven, he didn't look toward Raynor at all, but only al his sister. Now, how ever solcitous for Mrs. Raynor he may have been. he would most cer- tainly have glanced toward the dead man except that he had seen him before. so I knew that the sight Of the body on the floor was not surprise 10 him. Prom then on, I've only been trying 10 prove it up or prove myself mistaken"
 Which you were not which you never are" said Zizi, with an affectionate smile for the chief she so adored.
 
 Rents hopes were fulfl'ed. A year or so later, far from the beau titul but no longer desirable estate Of Flower Acres. Nancy Finley put her hand Tn that Of her husband and sei forth on a happy and tran gull life journey with him.
 Dear Orry," she said, softly his martyrdom made possible my present happiness"
 AS your martrydom was for thf happiness of him and your father.'

brother? How had she come to sus- pect him?
 But Wise was speaking.
 T will tell you - l must tell you all I know" he said. But I havc. given my word to your brother, Mrs. Raynor. that when I learned the identity Of the murderer. would tell him first of all. You may as we'll be told now, that Mir. Kent also confessed to the crime in order 10 save you, as Mir. Fin ley did. But since you didn't do it, these two gentlemen have no neces- sty for such haroism."
 "Orry confessed" said Nan, her eyes wide with wonder, "to save me, Bless him"
 "Yos, he said if you were not 10 be accused, he had no confession 10 make --- but if you were, then he would shoulder the crime him self. And I promised 10 tell him when ] found out the truth"
 And you have?" Nan spoke in an awed whisper.
 And I have. ZIzi, go yourself b Mir. Kent. Ask him 10 come here."
 Zizi went and returned quicly with OrviTe Kent.
 He enrcreI the room. white faced and agtated but walking with firm step. He glanced first at his sister, and seemed glad td soe her in the protecting arm Of Malcolm Finley
 You found the rubbers?' he said, as he saw them on small table.
 "Ynsl" Wise said, "and they tell the story of the crime. I promised you, Kent, I'd tell you first of all, Need I do so?"
 No" Orville Kent returned. "TIl toll myself. l shot Douglas Raynor. You knew it. Nan -- I think you have known il all along. I think you saw me that night. But you don't know why. Not to rid the world of beast and a brute al- though he was those. Not 10 save my sister from a life of terror and agony with a drug fend. though he was that. Not to set my sister free to marry the man she loves and who loves her though I rejoice 10 know that will some day be pos. sible. But here is the true reason why l shot Douglas Raynor. l saT Nan putting tablets into his tea Ci coffee Time and again l saw her do this And always furtively stealthily, with glance around tc see if any one noticed. Then l saw Raynor begin to show symptoms of poisoning -- of arsenicsi poisoning ] went 10 a strange doctor in thc city, and learned that they were the symptoms of arsenical poison ing beyond all doubt. l knew what Nan suffered, saw the brute treating her more and more shame fully. and I was forced to the con. cluion that my dear sister, unablt to stand it any longer, had sue. cumbed to temptation 10 rid her self of him. I did not blame her - not for q minute - but ] wanted 10 save her from being a murderer so l shot him for her. That i: all."
 Kent sat quietly not twitchinG lis fingers or moving his hands now, but like n thoughtful, deter. mined actor who had finished hi' part.
 There is no more" he said a"er a pause. T am not sorry - { rather hated 10 own up and shouldnt have done so except 1T oase Of suspicion Of an innocen person. Had there been more tall of an intruder, had the household been exonerated and the matte left unsolved. I should have kep silence, for what did was not mur der - one cannot murder a beast It was just retribution for tha mans awful fraud on my sister - l only learned Of that lately. But
