1 undeTwaod's knock upon the living | room door sounded simultaneously

 q probably shall hear il," re. turned a bit grimly, "Shs Is not particularly relieent ,sI know, and she isn't likely to overlook a topic like this when next she sees me-"
 "You have my sympathy" Lillian gihed, and then In a brisk, business like tone, she addedl
 q want to speak to Harry, un- heard by that weeping ehimpanzee in there, for about twenty seconds, Win you lake her down 10 the Mteh- en until summon you?"
 "0f course" l returned,
 "Come along. shen," she said, sweeping back into the living room, For Harry will he thinking we've flown away"
 Mamie with swollen eyes and tear stained cheeks, had raised her head at the knocking, hut she had not ventured toward the door. Evidently, the animal tanning" of her aunt had been most effective. And when Lillian opened the door to admit Harry Underwood, the girls head went down on the chair back again, with the natural feminine reluctance to display her distorted face to any masculine gaze.
 l think any woman would have been pardoned for sending an admir- ing little gaze in Mir. underwood's direction.
 Middle-age had not robbed him of his litheness. nor thickened his tall. magnificent figure. His hair Is al- most entirely white now, 1t is true, but his color is as rnddy, his black eyes as brilliant and piercing as when his admirers were wont to dub him "the handsomest man on Broad way"
 As he stood smiling a greeting at | us from the doorway. told myself | grimly that had no right to sneer | at Mrs. Marks.

their magic books and also the hobby horse!"
 But out loud she said, "Munga, when the house on wheels, passes you had better get back out of the way. It may run over you!'
 And Munga, wishing to do the same thing Minga had planned, said the same thing to Minga.
 Each witch thought the other would hop out of the way and she alone would jump upon the front porch and capture the Raggedys.
 So, instead of either witch hopping out of the way when the house on wheels came to them, both witches gave leap and tried to catch on to the porch.
 Neither witch had eyer tried to. do anything like this and they were gar prised when they both hit the side of the house "KERPLUNK" and went rolling off to one side into the ditch.
 My" Raggedy Ann said. q hope it did not hurt them very much!" For Raggedy Ann you see had candy heart and did not like to see anyone get hurt.
 T 'spect it bumped their heads pretty hard!" the hobby horse said as he came out on the porch. Tt sound ed just as if someone hit large bar rel with d sack of potatoes."
 And looking back our friends could see the two witches limp to the center of the path and after shaking their fists at the Raggedys, begin quarrel ing with each other.
 Anyway" Raggedy Ann said, "I have wished for some orange ice in the ice box, so we will just have that to eat out on the front porch!" &
 So she ran to the ice box and brought out the lovely orange ice and they passed a very large dish up to the nice poor man on the roof, for they knew he would enjoy it too.

You certainly can,' answered Les lie. "The new theory in child training is to begin immediately, not only with physical but with mental and moral discipline. It is not from my being stern with little John that he is thinking now that he Is abused" Qit- tie John at this moment was bowling at the top of his voice) but 1t is be- cause of your own selflshness in not considering what is best for him in your desire to hold him in your arms and rock him to sleep.
 AS for my not doing the same with child that l had borne myself, want to assure you that l would make no difference in my duty toward any child whom l consider my particular responsibility"
 With that, Leslie left the room, and shortly after, Miss Anderson came and took me 10 my apartment. Although Miss Anderson did this very diplomat ically, saying she was afraid l wovld be disturbed by little Jacks screams and cries, l am sure that Leslie told her that she must come after me.
 1 never thought, dear Priscilla, that Leslie could be so hard. 1 can see TOW that she will always have her own way even if the heavens fall. I used to worry for fear she and John would pay too much attention to the ba by they had adopted, but now my great fear is that the poor little thing will be neglected.
 There is no reason why you should not come a day or two befort the party and stay with me in my own apartment. If you can do this wish you would write me, or tele. phone,

The Raggedys, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, were very glad to get their magical house on wheels for their very own again, for you will re- member that Minga and Munga had captured the house.
 But of course, the two witches, be- ing selfish persons, had quarreled over who should take Raggedy Ann's two magical books away from her and had fallen from the front porch of the house on wheels and were way back in the woods somewhere.
 At least, the Raggedys hoped the two mean witches were away back somewhere. T hope the witches get tired of chasing us and return to their own homes!" Raggedy Andy said.

the hobby horse wished this, the two old witches did not, and they tried every way they could think of to get ahead of each other so that they might take Raegedy Ann's two magi- cal books.

ON HEALrH- BREATHE DEEP, OFTEN

"A lot of you birds figure that if you take 10 deep breaths with your daily dozen each morning you've given your lungs all they've got coming to 'em," physical director once re- minded Mir. Mann of Anytown.
 Taking a half dozen breaths dur ing an exercise and then forgetting all about doing 1t for the rest of the day is a relatively ridiculous plan.
 Not only should deep breathing ex- ercises be taken some time during the day, but whenever the out-of- doors is reached by shut-ins it should be the signal fof a series of long
New Britain herald., 1924-07-10

breaths.
 And for the office bound here's a tip: go to the open window every once in while and get good lung full.
 First. get the habit from a series of exercises; then keep at it during the day.
 One physician has said that a hun dred deep breaths day would keep away tuberculosis.
 Also it's good in nervous condi- tions
 But it's a mighty fine habit for everyone to get into.

By the time Henry had ten thousand dollars, he was involved in business. By the time he possessed one hundred thousand, he was more deeply involved in affairs.
