My graciousw the little Captain cried when he looked at the magical in strument. "We should have looked at this before! Just see here!"
 And when the Raggedys looked at the magical instrument they saw a little pointer pointing to "Water Spout"
 Dear me" Raggedy Ann said. "A water spout! No wonder it grew so dark and that so much water fell upon the deck! What had we better do, Captain?"
 II spect there isn't anything to do until the water spout breaks and lets us down to the sea again!' the little Captain said. "But what if it lets us drop so hard it smacks the little magical boat to pieces?" Raggedy Andy asked
 "Oh! I spect it won't do that!' Rag gedy Ann said. "This is a magical boat and I do not believe a water spout would be so mean! Anyway, it will dc no good to worry, so let us play some games, or have the little Captain read to us until something happens"

Little Stories For Bedtime
The Spirit Of Fear
sBy THORNTON BURGEss)

When the days grow cool and the nights There stalks abroad the Spirit of Fear, pr IS sad but true. Autumn is of D ten called the sad time of the year, D and it IS the sad time. But It shouldn't be. Old Mother Nature never intended that it should be. She meant it to be the glad time. It is the time when all the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows have got over the care and worries of bringing up families and teaching their children how to care for themselves. It is the sea son when food is plentiful and every one is fat and is, or ought to be, care free. It is the season when Old Mother Nature intended all her little people to be happy, to have nothing to worry them for the little time before the com ing of cold weather and the hard times which cold weather always brings.
 But instead of this a grim, dark fig ure goes stalking over the Green Mead ows and through the Green Forest and it it called the Spirit of Fear. It peers into every hiding place and wherever it finds one of the little people 1t sends little cold chills over the latter, little chills which jolly, round, bright MT. Sun cannot chase away, though he shines his brightest. All night, as well as all day, the Spirit of Fear searches out the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest. It will not let them sleep. It will not let them eat in peace. It drives them to seek new hiding places and then drives them out of those. It keeps them ever ready to fly or run at the slightest sound.
 Peter Rabbit was thinking of this as he sat at the edge of the dear Old Brier Patch looking over to the Green Forest. The Green Forest was no longer just green; it was of many colors, for Old Mother Nature had set Jack Frost to painting the leaves of the maple trees and the beech trees, and the birch trees and the poplar trees, done and the chestnut trees, and he had his worl we'll Very, very lovely were the red: and yellows and browns against tht dark green of the pines and the sprucei and the hemlocks. The Purple Hill: were more softly purple than at any ether season of the year. It was al very, very beautiful.
 But Peter had no thought for tn,
 beauty of it all, for the Spirit of Fea

had visited even the dear Old Brier Patch and Peter was afraid. It wasn't fear of Reddy Fox or Redtail the Hawk CT Hooty the Owl or Old Man Coyote. They were forever trying to catch him, but they did not strike terror to his heart, because he felt quite smart enough to keep out of their clutches. To be sure, they gave him sudden frights sometimes when they happened to surprise him, but these frights lasted only until he reached the nearest bramble tangle or hollow log where they could not get at him. But the fear that chilled his heart now never left him even for a moment.
 And Peter knew that that same fear was clutching at the hearts of Bob White, hiding in the brown stubble ; Mrs. Grouse, squatting in the thickest bramble tangle in the Green Forest ; Unc' Billy Possum and Bobby Coon, in their hollow trees Jerry Muskrat, in the Smiling Pool; Happy Jack Squirrel hiding in the treetops; Lightfoot the Deer, lying in the closest thicket he could find. It was even clutching at the hearts of Granny and Reddy Fo1 and of great Big Buster Bear. II seemed to Peter that no one was so big or so small that this terrible Spirit ol Fear had not searched them out.

the goodies, they paid no attention to anything which came from behind them. That was why they were all surprised when all of a sudden the little boat be- gan to whirl around and round and the sky became very dark.
 II 'spect we must be having a storm p the little Captain cried to Rag gedy Ann, but the wind howled so loud the Raggedys could not hear what the little Captain yelled and as the little boat whirled round faster and faster and water began falling all over the deck, the Raggedys and the little Cap tain went inside the cabin and closed the windows.
 This made it very much better, be- cause the little boat had very fine elec- tric lights and made the cabin as light as day.
 ''This is the worst storm ever have seen l" the little Captain said as he went to a magic instrument upon the wall this told just what kind of wealth CT the little boat should expect.

Treat Is In Store When You See
 Sunshine

The backs of 50 heads seated in a double row of chairs greeted one as they entered the ballroom of the Tut wiler Wednesday evening. Never have 50 many heads been together without bobbing about talking of the latest fash ions, gossip or other things, but Wed nesday evening not a word was coming from so many girls, not sound did they make, for the leading characters of the musical comedy, Sunshine" were fehearsing and the chorus was quiet. Every now and then a fluffy blonde head would lean over to straight black head and whispered words would be exchanged but if any other noise was heard, Miss Virginia Street would snap her fingers and absolute quiet, as far as the chorus was concerned, would reign.
 Miss Street, clad in an evening frock, was intent on what was going on Every now and then in a concise voice she would give some instructions, for Miss Street is directing this charming musical comedy.
 The rehearsal went through smoothly and the leading characters are well cast and show real talent. The plot of the piay weaves an attractive love story into which tuneful songs are inter spersed
 MT. Paul Meighan and Mrs. Evelyn Ketchum, in the leading roles, sing Q lovely dance duet in the second act and Mr. Clyde Nelson does duet dance with Miss Bebe Whorton, while he sings q solo. and it is altogether worth going to the play to hear him, as he mas an exceedingly good voice.
 Rack to the chorus, for the chorus is one of the best amateur choruses we have ever seen. Picked for beauty and size they add untold charm to the play with their dances and songs. Never dc they appear in the same costume, there heinz 15O different ones which will give a touch of New York to the perform ance. The ensemble closing the last ac' will be a thing of beauty with the col orful costume and really the girls can sing and the songs are lovely ballads aa well as tuneful lively ones. Pep beauty and attractiveness will keep the nlay from dragging as many amateur nerformances do and the interest Will be alive throughout the entire three acts.
 Arrangements have been completed for this musical comedy Sunshine which will be presented at the Jeffer, son theater. Saturday night IS to pc the first night and promises to be 2 brilliant opening of this much talked ol play, All U. D. c. members are S9 pected to attend on this night. The sec, ond and third rows of the orchestra will be reserved for the Confederate veterans who will attend in a Dody' fresh from their visit to the reunion Tn Mobile. Auburn and Louisiana 1oot, ball players will also be present ana this opening performance will be gala event. .,Ir
 Prices for the tickets are unusually amall for so beautiful and spectacular . performance. The downstairs seats are only n dollar. the balcony Co cents and the gallery 50 cents.
 The U. D. C. expect full house to repay them for their efforts which they so richly deserve and from the looks of inc rehearsal treat will be gwen thestergoers that they have not had since 'sBlossom Time" was here.

sudden bang. Peter jumped and shiv- cred. He knew that every one else who had heard that bang had jumped and shivered, just as he had. It was the season of hunters, with terrible guns. It was man who had sent this terrible Spirit of Fear to chill the hearts of the little meadow and forest people at this very time, when Old Mother Natudre had made all things so beautiful and had intended that they should be happiest and most free from care and worry. It was a man who had made the autumn sad time in stead of a glad time, the very saddest time of all the year, when Old Mother Nature had done her best to make it the most beautiful.
 T don't understand these men crea- tures," said Peter to little Mrs. Peter, as they stared fearfully out from the dear Old Brier Patch. ''They seem to find pleasure. actually find pleasure, in trying to kill us. don't understand them at all. They haven't any hearts. That must be the reason they haven't any hearts"

 "Oh! Dear!' the little Captain cried: "Just look here, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy" And when the Raggedys looked over the side of the little boat, they saw that it was stuck fast, right on the tip top peak of a mountain.
 Anyway Raggedy Ann laughed. "It's a good thing, it is magical boat for we have everything we can wish for to eat! So let's have lot of fun until we are rescued !"
