Raggedy Ann hid in the bushes In the deep, deep woods.
 And from her hiding place, she could peep out and watch the tall hickory nut tree where old Heszy the Witch lived.
 T do wish that Raggedy Andy had not climbed the magic ladder hich slid up the tree 10 the Witch's home,' Raggedy Andy said. T am sure the old Witch captured Raggody Andy just as soon as he reached the top of the magic rope ladder and it was ycrY good thing that jumped and escaped. But how shall l ever be ahfa 10 rescue RaggelY Andy? Heozy. the Witch, is the only one who knows how 10 work the rope ladder, l am sure, for there it lays upon the groun1 now end when HeAzy wishes lt 10 reach up 10 the righ limb waer" she lives, she works her magic and the rope lad der just slides right up the tree trunk to her very door. Now if l knew how to work the magic lad der. maybe I could rescue poor Raggc1y Andy"
 But although Raggcdy Ann could think ever so well, sull, rhe could not think ot 2 way 10 make the rope ladder work, so she just sat in the bushes and waited, May re sonetimcs old Heezy will come down the rope ladder then l can r1lmb up t while sAe is away from n0me,'
 Racgadv Ann sat Tn the bushes for long, long umr but still. old Heezv. the witch did not come out ~o. her house and the magic rope ladder still was rpon the ground. Then Raggedy Ann had an idea, If old Heezy. the Witch did not make the rope ladder slide up the free 10 her door so that she can climb down maybe I can tasten the rope ladder 10 the ground 50 that she can not get down when she wants 10. II can do that, and she wants to come down. can tell her that l shall keep the rope ladder fastened to the ground until she drops Raggedy Andy down.
 So Raggedy Ann tiptoed out oi the bushes and up to where the rope ladder lay under the tai hickory nut tree, and then Rag redv Ann picked ur the rope lad der and ran with It as fast as sht could go,

 What were they murmuring?
 "I love you. Margie, dear"
 "Oh, Bill = love you, too."
 They turned away, slowly, and escaped another pair that was corn- ing up.
 "Love.' murmured Joan to her self with magnificent scorn. What stupid things they are," Here was another couple, At least they were not gaping at the moon. The girl was so pretty that it made Joan smile with pleasure to see her And then with piercing eye she examined the dress of her, . There was peculiar magic in it. It was only a simple pink frock. but it fluffed around the body of the girl Ike a clinging bit of sun tinted cloud.
 l One half expected 10 look 1 through the mist to the outline of the graceful body. And yet there was nothing immodest, ] The man, too, was quite different from the other of the crooked i shoulders and the wan face. He was a handsome fellow. arrowy straight, with pair of level black brows and keen eyes beneath them.
 Hell tell her that he loves her." said Joan to herself T hope he does! And what will she do then?"
 But their conversation was not at all what she had wished. ! We've gone about far enough" i said the girl, coming to halt and 1 facing her companion 50 that her profile came into line with the watchful eyes of Joan. Now, what i do you want 10 say to me 2"
 Just what you know I'm going to say" exclaimed the man.
 Haven't the least idea"
 You have though, You've broken your promise again."
 What promise?"
 That you'd stop flirting
 John Gainor. Besides - 1 don't i know what you mean
 'You do though"
 Will you explain?'
 There's Chick Montague been following you all evening like your shadow. You danced with him twice. And he looked plumb foolish while he was dancing"
 Are you Jealous again?,,'
 Jealous? Of course not, 1 just want to keep you from being talked about"
 Don't worry about me" ' say, Nell, you got 10 stop!" | "Wh9tll make me? When I'm do- ing nothing wrong"
 'Dyou call it nothing wrong when you make every man you dance with figure that you're tired Of me and mighty glad that you're rid Of me for while. at least?"
 I've never said that in my life.
 Not in so many words. But words ain't the only things that count. There's q way you got oi looking down and looking up sud. den and bright at q gent that knocks 'em fiat and you know il as well as I do.
