 "You'i he worse than that if you don't stop talkin'," her husband growled, "Aow, Just let me tell you somethin'. If you and Mollie don't stop your snoopin' and stiekin' your noses into things that don't concern you, you're likely to get something you ain't lookin' for. don't want to sec either of you get hurt, but you want to lay off the sneaSin' around"

 How do you know Mollie's snoopin'?" Mrs. Marks asked. and something in her voice made me prick up my ears, There was some- thing wary. watchful, in it, very unlike the ostensible hysteria of her previous tones.

The Raggedys and the magical hobby horse were sitting beside the ice cold foamy root beer fountain in the deep, deep woods.
 They had left the nice poor man, who had been made King back at the great white marble castle in the cen ter of the deep, deep woodes.
 The two witches, Minga and Nun ga, had also stayed at the castle, but the Raggedys had told them all good bye and had jumped in their lovely little house on wheels and had travel cd along the path until they came to the root beer fountain.
 Now, l wonder what our next ad- venture will be-" Raggedy Andy said
 My sakesi" the hobby horse said "I hope we don't meet any more dis agreeable witches! If we do, Raggedy Ann, you should change them into nice witches before they have a chance to cause us any discomforts!"
 That would be a good plan!" Rag. gedy Ann agreed. "I3ut maybe we will have very nice adventure! Who knows!"
 II dol" a voice replied, and. there coming towards them was little old woman.
 oh dear" the hobby ghorse cried. "Ill bet nickel she is witch and we will have lot of trouble"' But the little old woman walked up to the Raggedys and the hobby horse and said:
 My! You should have taken the left hand road back in the woods!"
 "Why?' Raggedy Ann asked.
 "Becausc!" the old woman replied, This road leads right in front of the home of Gerald, the Giant! That is why I said, I knew whether you would have a nice adventure, or not! You will not have nice adventure unless you turn around and go back"
 "T guess we are not afraid of GiaDts!" Raggedy Andy said. Are we, Raegedy Ann?"
 "oh. no, ndieed!" Raggedy Ann re- piled. "We are not afraid of Giants!'
 "Myi My" the little old woman exclaimed in wonder. T wish that wasn't. but then. you do not know what Gerald the Giant did to me, no you9''
 "of course not" the hobby horse
New Britain herald., 1924-08-01

Don't you believe it!' Raggedy Ann laughed.
 I'd just like to see him take any thing away from us." Raggedy Andy said.
 Wei then. just you keep right on I'D this path and you will soon see the Giants house. and you will soon find one that he will take everything away from you!" The little old woman said. So Raggedy Ann asked her to get in the house on wheels.
 Maybe We can get. Gerald the Giant to return your magical charms." Raggedy Ann said ~as she started the house on wheels rolling toa ards the home of the Giant.

 Any time tomorrow that you're ready, I'm ready" said the Wreck, regarding her with stare that was almost belligerent. And anybody who tells you it can't be done is suf- fering from arrested mental develop ment."
 He limped out of the room, hut there was something absurdly aggres- sive in his gait. Dad Morgan eyed his back appraisingly and then looked at the sheriff.
 "Wrecks kind of saddle sore" he observed, mildly, but he certainly keeps chipper."

 The ranch buildings wore miles back of them; how many, Sally could not exactly tell, for there was no speedometer on tho fiivver But they were fifteen miles from the ranch at least, and the railroad was still more miles to the north. By the trail which wound high along the eastern flank of Black Top it was about twenty miles. as nearly as Sally could figure. They could not follow the high trail of course. somewhere a road branched, which they must take, and Sally was intent on watching for the road.
 It was an odd sensation. pumping over the trail on wheels; it helped her to forget that there had been words with the sheriff the night before, just as he was saddIing to ride back to his job at Fisher.
 Once she remarked the fact to him that it was a. pretty bad trail, after he had navigated a detour that car ried them around boulder.
 Bad trail?" he echoed, almost sharply. You don't call this bad, do you? I call it a boulevard"
 He was obsessed with resolve to make the task so chldshly simple that the sheriff would cat his words and be overwhelmed with mortifica- ton.
 The Wreck's name was Henry Will Hams, and he belonged considerably farther east than Sally had ever been; as far as Pittsburgh, in fact. His coming to the Bar-M had been with out specific reconciliation: it was merely a nincident, it appeared, in a great plan. They first sighted him in tho middle of a forenoon, two weeks back, coming furiously up the coulee. with radiator that boiled like Old Faithful and carbon knock that sounded like the crack of doom He brought the thing to stop in the dooryard, introduced himself asked for water, tarried for lunch, tin1sered with the car, stayed for supper, and then kept on staying.
