 And how the Witches had put the two nice Grannys in an old dry well in the basement of their own house and how the little brown man had rescued all of them.
 q wondered where you were!" the magical hobby horse said in his wooden voice. But I knew that it was my place to stay here and watch the magic boat until you returned. Why! Do you know" he said, Hast night when was asleep I heard something and peeped up to see these same old Witches come in the cabin door, I stayed very quiet to hear what they would say, but was ready to lift my heels and scoot them out if they tried any monkey business. They snooped about, but did not see me. And they talked all about how they would take fine sails through the woods in this boat. and they said they would come back in the morning !"

And you waited for them, didn't you, nice hobby horse?" Mrs. Granny asked as she gave the hobby horses wooden head a gentle pat.
 "Ha, ha, ha! You bet l did!' the hobby horse replied, T knew they were up to mischief of some sort, so hid behind the door when I heard them coming. Then, when saw how excited they were, was certain that you were after them and I lifted up my heels quite hard and sent them both sailing out of the door !"
 "Now I wonder if the Witch Grundy and the Witch Wiggles have returned to the Grannys house?" Raggedy Ann unused out loud. We must sail the boat around there and find out right away"
 So the little Captain sailed the magic boat right up to the front dor and sure enough the two mean Witches were i'm side the Grannys house.
 Come out of there!" the little brown man cried.

 What shall we do?" Raggedy Ann asked.
 T will tell you!" the hobby horse laughed. If they won't come out, let me go in!" And as this semed a good plan, the little brown man pulled a window open and b. sted the magical hobby horse inside.
 My! If you could have only heard the racket the two Witches and the hobby horse made! It sounded like six carpenters over work. And as soon as the Witches could unfasten the dors, out they came, so fast, they could not make the turn around the gate post and their feet went scooting out from under them and they slid across the path into a briar patch.
 "Now!" Raggedy Ann said to the Grannys. ''The house is yours again and am sure the Witches will not re- turn! And they never did.

FORTY PER CENT
SURTAX PROSPECT

Washington, March 27.--A general
tax bill that has for It's maximum
surtax 10 per cent instead of the
371.2 that finally was agreed upon
between the warning republican fac
tions in the house. and incorporated
in the Longworth compromise, was in
prospect today as the senate finance
committee continued to wrestle with
t.s measure.
A survey of sentiment in the sem
ate indicated that It is going to outdo
the house in wrecking the carefully
prepared scale of rates originally laid
down by Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon, calling for normal tax OF 3
per cent and maximum surtax OF 20
per cent.
The action Of republican leaders In
writing the Mellon rates back into
he bin was merely a gesture Ut was
designed to force a showdown vote
on the original Mellon bill, possibly
70 further demonstrate to President
Coolidge the utter hopelessness OF
trying TO pass the Mellon bill as
originally written.
