 A fusillade of shots rang out and Alva shrank against her, covering her ears, but to Sallie ti was the sweetest sound she had ever heard. It ceased and mighty pounding seemed to jar the very foundations about them.
 Ava looked up in stark terror.
 They've got to the door.s They're breaking it' in. There go the win dows. too.'' Sallie was chanting to herself in a transport of joy, as the crash of glass sounded between the heavy blows. "Oh, Ava, you're miss ing it all.'

 They're fighting for us. Ain't you glad to hear it and know it? There. the doors down at last: Now there'll be more shooting"

The Raggedys were very glad to get their two magic books back from old Witch Wiggins who lived in the top of the high oak tree,for she had taken them away from the Raggedya.
 The only trouble now was the fact that bo'h magic books were invisible and if the Raggedvs did not hold on 70 them. the two magic books might easily gel lost for good.
 So Kaggedy Andy held them very tightly as he climbed down the rope ladder which led from the ground Up to the Wi'ch's house.

 Then they ran in the door and were just about to close and lock the door when gaggedy Andy said. Wait minute. Esgge5y Anp." and went out upon inc WI'ch-s porch.

When the seven o'clock alarm rang in the morning. it was the signal for a general turning over in bed of the Mann family.
 NIT. Mann Of Anytown was the noisiest os them all. He literally bel lowed his morning grunts, stretched out his arms and rolled.
 On such occasions Mrs. Mann fail- ed to display her usual shrewdness She invariably protested.
 The fact is. that good stretch is the RIGHT WAr TO START OFF THE DAY.

How Mrs. Marks Rose To the
 Emergency

IitItEStfitf
 With Mrs. Marks hand gripping my wrist compellingly. listened tensely with her for the sound she was so sure would come--a summons upon the door of the hall common to both Of our apartments. And when it did come. the ringing of another bell than the one Of the vestibule below, she relaxed my hand and drew deep breath.
 Now, listen here. dcarie," she whispered tensely. and to my own surprise, I found myself yielding to her dominance of the situation. T hain't got nothin' to be afraid of, now that those coats are in here. So I can go to the door with a smooth face. We can't get those coats back now. He'd think you were in it as deep as me. So m go to the door and stall him. If he's for me. he can look all through my place, he won't find a button not belonging to me. And if he asks for you--what do you want me to do, tell him you ain't here? Put out your lights and maybe hell believe me. I'll pretend I don't know nothin' about you"
 No, I must see him." I returned firmly. Tt is-a business matter''-- my conscience stirred uneasily--"and it will be better if I talk to him. But l shall be very grateful If you will keep him In the hall until I can dress"
 was changing my slippers for pumps as I spoke, and Mrs. Marks stepped briskly to the door.
 "Pll keep him." she said. But you watch out. I'll call through the door. and you can catch my cue, and answer"
 She turned with her hand on the doorknob, and flashed me her gsmin- like grin. The tortured fear in her eyes had been replaced by e joyous confidence. With the incubus of the furs gone. she appeared to believe herself . match for any member of the police force.

 was puzzled for a few seconds to hear no sign of her in the hall. lNr- haps she had no intention of answer ing the doorbell. but was taking the opportunity to get out of the rear en- trance of the building to which she had access through her apartment. Then I heard her high heels come clicking noisily down the hall. and paid a mental tribute to her artistry. She had stolen unshod to her apart ment, so that she might present the effect Of a nervous hurried housewife answering the bell.
 I had thrown off Dicky's bathrobe. end was hastily investing myself with the gown from my wardrobe tha, was most quickly and easily fastened. My strained ears heard the click which told me that Mrs. Marks had put the chain on the door that prevents it opening more than a few inches. Then I heard her voice, ouorulous, impatient.
 For the lovs Of Lulu, what's eatin' you, ringin' a body's ears off? Well. what do YOU want? I don't know you"
