When Raggedy Andy reached the witch's back porch he saw the witch's black cat lying there, sound asleep.
 Raggedy Andy slipped up very quiet ly; he could, you know, because he had such soft cloth shoes. When he was right beside the cat, Raggedy Andy touched the cat and parked like puppy dog and the cat, surprised, jumped up and went scooting into the wood shed. never once looking back to see what had startled her. Raggedy Andy had to hold his hand over his mouth to keep from laughing right out loud and he did not wish to do this, for then the witch would have discovered him.
 When Rasgedy Andy quit giggling at the funny expression on the cats face, he took a tiny stick and scratched upon the witchs back door, Meow Meow!" Raggedy Andy cried, just like kitty.
 He could hear Minga, the witch, come shuffling out into the kitchen.
 Meow, Meow!" Raggedy Andy cried again as he scratched with the stick upon the door.

Jlmmy Skunk Looks For Peter

EMMY SKUNK looked, very hart at Sammy Jay. Sammy Jay look ed very hard at Jimmy Skunk Then Sammy slowly shut one eye anc as suddenly opened it again. It was . wink.
 You mean.' said Jimmy Skunk 'that you guess that Peter Rabbit knew that 1 was in that barrel, and that he jumped over it so as to make Reddy Fox run against it. Is that itY
 Sammy Jay said nothing, but wink. ed again. Jimmy grinned. Then he looked thoughtful. '.I wonder" said he slowly, If Peter did it so as to gain time to get away from Reddy Fox"
 II wonder" repeated Sammy Jay.
 And I wonder if he did it just to get Reddy into trouble" continued Jimmy.
 'I wonder" repeated Sammy Jay.
 And I wonder if he did it for a joke, a double joke on Reddy and my self" Jimmy went on, scratching his head thoughtfully.
 q wonder" said Sammy Jay once more, and burst out laughing.
 Now Jimmy Skunk has a very shrewd little head on his shoulders. ..So that is your guess, is it? We'll, wouldn' t be a bit surprised if you are right" said he, nodding his head. T think I will go look for Peter. I think he needs a lesson. Jokes that put other people in danger or make them un- comfortable can have no excuse. My neck might have been broken in that wild ride down the hill. and certainly I was made most uncomfortable. I felt out of place and all mixed up. Even now my stomach feels a bit queer. as i; it might not be just where it ought to be. By the/way, what became of Peter after he jumped over the barrel"
 Sammy shook his head. "I don't know" he confessed. You see it was very exciting when that barrel started rolling and we knew by the sounds that there was some one inside it. I guess Teddy Fox forgot all about Peter. I know I did. And when the barrel broke to pieces against that stone down there and you and Reddy faced each other it was still more exciting. After it was over looked for Peter, but he was nowhere in sight. He hadn't had time to reach the Old Brier Patch. I really would like to know myself what became of him."
 Jimmy Skunk turned and looked down the hill. Then in his usual slow way he started back toward the broken barrel.
 Where are you going:' asked Sam my.

? i
 Jimmy. II want to ask him few questions"
 Sammy Jay was tempted to follow
 Jimmy. He had feeling that some thing intresting would happen if Jimmy should find Peter. But when he saw how slowly Jimmy moved, quite as if | in no hurry at all to find Peter, Ee de- cided that there would be no more fun in spreading the news of all that had happened. It was a very exciting tale to tell, and Sammy Jay dearly loves to tell exciting stories. So instead of following Jimmy Skunk he spread his
 blue wings and started for the Smiling
 Pond to tell Jerry Muskrat and Grand father Frog and Spotty the Turtle and Redwing the. Blackbird and any others who might be there all about what had happened to Jimmy Skunk and Reddy Fox.
 As for Jimmy Skunk, he ambled along down the hill. At first he was very angry as he thought of what Peter had done, and he made up his mind that Peter should be taught a lesson he would never forget. But as he ambled along the funny side of the whole affair struck him, for Jimmy Skunk has a great sense of humor, and before he reached the bottom of the hill his anger had all gone and he was chuckling. I'm sorry if did Reddy Fox an in- justice" thought he, but he makes so much trouble for other people that I guess no one else will be sorry He isn't likely to bother any one for some time. Peter really ought to be pun ished, but somehow don't feel so
 much like punishing him as I did. I'll just give him little scare and let the scamp off with that. Now I wonder

 Meow! Me6wl' Rasgedy Andy said once more.
 Do you want to come in, kitty }" the witch asked. She was right at the door now and Raggedy., Andy prepared to jump inside the house the moment the witch opened the door.
 Do you want to come in, kitty ?' tn witch asked again as she wiggled the door knob.
 "Meow! Yes! Yes!" Raggedy Andy replied.
 "Then you can't come in w the witch howled in an exceedingly loud voice, 'cause my kitty cant say Yes and know it isn't the kitty at all It must be 9, one of the Ragsedys trying to fool
 So Raggedy Andy knew it wasn't any use to pretend that he was the witch's kitty any longer and he walked sadly back to where Raggedy Ann sat holding the magic wooden hobby horses broken head and the witch's loud laugh ter told the three friends that Minga, the witch, thought it very good joke on Raggedy Andy.

We Women

Lena, The Girl Who Is Always Late w HEN the final trumpet sounds w for Lena sne will come putting
 up to the pearly gates and ask St. Peter's pardon for not answering his call immediately. And she will have some good excuse for not being on time It seems to be. an absolute im- possibility for her ever tobe on time.
 She is a type. -@
 She is the Girl Who is Always Late.
 Those who know Lena have long since given her up as hopeless. If they wish to, take her to a matinee they tell her to meet them at 1 o'clock! |. Of course. the.s do not tell her she is going to matinee.s They are too foxy for that. They merely ask her to. meet them at o'clock. If they are in luck Lena makes her appearance by two. She has never been known to get to a place ahead of time, no matter how early she was told to arrive. She always thinks of last minute things to do.
 If it is a very important occasion members of her family stand around and wait on her and ask her what they can do to, help her get ready, but in spite of everything she is bound to be late. It seems to be almost disease with her which prevents her from do- ing what she knows she actually ought to do. And, the disease appears to be incurable.
 One summer Lena, with a party of girls, travelled through Canada from Montreal to Vancouver, stopping off several places. Timetables meant noth- ing to her. After she had caused the party to miss a couple of trains they agreed they would go off and leave her the next time she held them up.
 At Banff she spent so much time admiring the view of the Bow river that the others went on to Lake Louise. leaving her behind. But they were so worried about her that they didn't do it again, so Lena actually won out and continued t6, keep everyone dancing at- tendance upon her. But she has not been asked to go on another trip.
 Lena is the last one to arrive at a party and the last one to leave. She even appears to wish to be the last one to go to bed at night. And then she sleeps and gets up late in the morn ing. She simply doesn't know what it is to be on time for anything. She thinks watches and clocks were invent ed for beauty and not for use.
 She is type.
