Poor child, I do not know what she } would do if it were not for me, as she has seemed to take a sudden fear that her mother and father do not love her any more, and or course she says that you will never care for her again. I called you up to ask if you would not write her little note to let her know you have forgiven her."

No one was surprised when Rag gedy Andy won the fight with the tall man out in front of MT. Tunky's store, for the witch had given Rag sedy Andy her magic stick to fight with and the tall man only used an ordinary stick.
 But, as soon as the fight was over, the tall man became good friends with Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy and the witch, for Raggedy Ann gave him two cream puffs and cookie to eat while he rested.
 Tt isn't any fun fighting" the man said, And anyway it Is wrong to fight. It's too much like cats and dogs when people fight, 'spect after this l shall not fight again unless l the worst 10 aid some one.'
 Yes" Raggedy Ann agreed. When anyone fights for selfish req sons as you did they are sure to get the west of it every time."
 T know it." the man said, Tt was very wrong for me to even wish to take the store away from Mir. Tunky when he gets so much pleasure giv- ing the invisible toys and goodies away 10 nice little boys and girls. and l Feel just like crying"
 Please do not cry" Raggedy Ann hast"nod 10 say'as she gave the man another cream puff. For it only makes your eyes and nose very red and crying never does even a smid- gin Of good anyway"
 So the tall man promised that he would not cry and everyone laughed and talked Intil fat man came along and stopped.
 I heard that Mr. Tunky owned veryifne st ore here" the fat man said. Now if that is true, l shall soon own the store. myself, for shal take it away from MT. Tunky.."
 My goodness" the witch said. Everyone who comes along says the same thing. There should be some way Of stopring this selfishness."
 "Ha, You can't stop me-" the fat man said. No one can stop me when l wish 10 do anything"
 Now, the tall man had become friends with the Raggedys and the witch anu he Fas ashamed that he had tried to take the store away from Mir, Tunky just as this fat man was trying to do. so he jumped up and before the fat man had time to think about anything, the thin tall man had wrestled him so hard, the fat man was very glad when the wrestling was over and he could run away through the woods.
 T tell you what you should do, kind Mrs. Witch." Raggedy Ann said after she had thought and thought until the cotton in her rag head vas a hard little lump, You should get out your magic charms and make Mir. Tunky's nice ttle store invisible to every selfish per son who SvRss thn way, then they

FRENCH GET CHINA TRADE

 The depression in the export trade is said by foreign buyers to be dle to the excessive prices and hSh freight rates, which have resulted in buyers seeking goods either in France, Japan or other countries which can .undersell the Germans.

 See that you do," she retorted, and then with a quick shifting of the subject she put an anxious question::
 Have you hal any letter from Edwin and Harriet yet" she asked,
 No" returned, There hasn't been time, has there?'
 Just about" she said. But they're going to be extremely careful about sending messages that will give a clue to their where abouts. on account of those measly detectives the Harrison relatives are employing 10 trace the children. Here's an instance 10 show you how they're managing:
 "They gave a friend they en- countered on the steamer a wire less to send on his return trip 10 one of Edwin's professional asso- ciates in Detroit. The friend, a prominent surgeon, gave it to Diclly. It says they arrived safely. are'all well, and will write as soon as possible. So I'm looking for a letter any day.
 "There is Something Cnusual!"
 By the way, Margaret, did it ever strike you that there is some- thing unusual behind that deter mined search for those children? Surely the comparatively small es- tate William left, which goes to them anyway, isn't reason enough for all the trailing those relatives have been doing, especially as we know they haven't any affection for the children"
 You mean you think there's some financial stake involved of which we know nothing?"
 T mean there's skullduggery of some kind going on," she replied tartly. And I'm going 10 find out about it before I'm many months older But I'm extremely tired, and if you don't mind. I'm going to bed. No. don't come up with me. You've been upstairs with me once. I'm perfectly capable of finding my own room"
 But I insisted on going with her, and invented dozen excuses for attending to her comfort.
 I had two motives in this, both of which I realized were distinctly selfish.
 l wished to insure her good ma ture during the next few days. And
 I wished to put off as long as possible the trying tete-a-tete with Mollie Fawcett as the subject of discussion, which I knew was in evitable between Dicky and me.

conversation as some amusing story of hunting experience or adventure was related to him.
 When the engine whistle gave the signal for "all aboard" Colonel Roosevelt, the> governor, Selons and Sandford took their seats on the bench over the Cowcatcher. Except for mcal-timcs. Theodore Roosevelt rode in this fashion until nightfall made the position vaIuelcss.
 While we had been conversing on the platform, l had noticed that the naval guard or honor had moved up the platform until they stood facing Inc engine of the train. Their ob- jcct in doing so was quickly appar- ent.
 As the heavy train began pulling out of Mombasa railroad depot, the navy men raised their helmets and gave three lusty, decp-throatcd chccrs-and then a " tiger" The crowd on the platform joined in with spirit
 "Goodby, Teddy RooseNelt-and good hunting."
 Those were the last words we heard, as the train gathered speed. Some enthusiastic admirer of the great American had shouted this farewell at the top Of his voice.
 We were soon running smoothly over the Salisbury Bridge-a fine American steel structure that links Mombasa Island with the mainland. and measures some HOO feet in length.
 The | ganda Railway is the most wonderful and, at the same time, the most interesting in the whole world.
 It is not long system, for its main tracks measure only some 5S4 miles in length; but since 1909 it has been considerably extended, and there are now many useful branch lines leading off from the main ar tery.
 Wood fuel is used both on the railroad and on the lake steamers run in connection with it on the Victoria Nyanza. Up to 1909, il had cost approximately s27.O0O,OO to build. There are few, if any other railroads in the world which climb to such high attitudes as docs this one, for it reaches $500 feet al Mau Summit.
 From the coach windows of nc other railroad in the world can one see such an extraordinary quantity Of big game in their wild state, foi it traverses. between Mombasa and Nairobi, the largest and most crowded game reserpe in existence This game reserve is nothing more or less than a natural zoologica garden.

it rose so late that Selous almost caught it in his hands. We almost ran over hyena, too-iust before We reached Mackinnon Road"
 We were all disappointed-Roose- welt the most of aIl-that no lions were observed along the track dur ing that interesting journey, On a number Of occasions it has been reported that lions have given battle to Oncoming trains-and lost their lives on the track. They have also been known to have held up trains and even the depot staff at wayside railway depots on the kapit and Athci Plains.
 Rhlnoceros have also lost their lives in attempting a head-on charge at an engine. One, too, a train in which l was passenger, ran into and killed foolish giraffe,
 We reached the edge of the Southern Game Reserve early next ! morning, after a night journey through a red-soiTed country that covered us with red dust. Makindu IS situated at an altitude of 3,2s0 feet. Hereabouts one can see and obtain every kind of game except elephant. Rhinoceros abound here, and the thick scrub of acacio-thorn trees is cut up by numerous paths made by these huge and ungainly beasts.
 Theodore Roosevelt resumed his seat upon the cowcatcher of the engine at Makindu, with Msarns, Selous and Cruickshank as his com panions. Kermit and the others joined He once more in our gallery seats on the roof of the train.
 We were now about to enter the best and largest natural zoo in the world, and 1t Is an experience to be enjoyed by even the most blase of East Africans.
 Before we had traveled few miles out of Makindu, we all got a glorious view of Mount Kilima- Marc. It showed up boldly to the south of the railroad track, and its highest peaks, at an altitude Of ls,7O0 feet, were . snoR-clad and bathed in glowing red light from the rays of the rising sun.
 It was the lynx-eyed Kermit who hrst saw them. His shout and point ing hand drew all eyes toward the group of some twenty giraffes who were cantering along to the north of the track. There was one huge bull, and the remainder appeared to be COWS with half-grown or young calves.
 They could not NhaVe been more than seventy yards from us and. AS they shambled along unconcernedly paralled with the track, We were all much impressed with their com plete indifference to our iron steed Their peculiar gait was source of great amusement to Kermit and the thers.
 Shortly after breakfast, We reached simba station-a famous railroad depot

Robert Foran, newspaper corre- spondcnt, accompanies the Theodore Roosevelt expedition into Africa in 1909. They arrive at Mombassa, the gateway of British East Africa" on the "Admiral," German steam CT. With Colonel Roosevelt are his son, Kermit, and three scientific members of his staff-Major Edgar A. Mearns, Edmund Heller and J. Allen Loring.
 The railroad journey to the first camp of the Roosevelt expedition on the gamc-crowded Kaplti Plains -2SS miles from the coast--is about to begin. In addition to the Roosevelt expedition the train is to carry as far as Nairobi the acting governor, Sir Frederick J. Jackson, Mrs. Jackson and others.

wide. It has an excellent anchor- age, and there Is practically no tidal stream. Further to the right, was obtained a bird's-eye view of Port Tudor, which is only navigable by dhows and similar small craft. .
 The earlier section of that strange railroad journey took us through al- most indescribably beautiful scenery of a markedly tropical character; but at Samburn, 910 feet above the sea, we commenced to run through a vast scrub jungle. Here the wild game could not be seen from the track, although they are abun- dant hereabouts. a'
 It was at this point that I per suaded Kermit, Mearns, Heller, Loring and the newspaper men to join me on the roof of the train. We could not all enjoy the advan- tages of the cowcatcher's seat, but the roof of our saloon-coach was a most effective substitute. As there are no bridges and tunnels to be negotiated on thlS Sectlon or the track, there was no danger except to our clothes from flying sparks from the engine.
 Occasionally Kermit went forward and joined his father in front of the engine; and Selous was the ColorePs inseparabIe companion until we reached Mackinnon Road, when it became too dark to see the country we were. passing through. .
 Bully" exploded Roosevelt, when asked him about his impressions. That word became catchword in East Africa for many long day.
 Colonel RooseveIt's enthusiasm was tremendous It infected even the old-timers on that train, and Selous had become almost as boyish in his delight as the ex-president,
 "A black and white hornbu)l was feeding on the track, some miles back" shouted Roosevelt to me, as he climbed into the governors special saloon-c coach for dinner" and
