"Tha giant was quite q nice Giant after ah wasn't he, Raggedy Ann E <" tho llttie lat captainasked as he and Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the hobby horsesailed along through the deep, deep woods on the little magical boat.
 "Oh, yes" Raggcdy Ann replied. You see, Captain" she explained, 'so many people think thatGiants are very wicked persons, and great many children are afraid of giants, but whenever you meet a giant, you will find that they are just like great big, kindly boys and the longer you know them, the more you like them. FFor. giants are just the same as smaller people, except that their hearts are q great deal larger, like theid bodies. and that makes them just as kind as any small person can be-"
 Anyway spect this giant frightened old MuggI"s. the Magi- clan, so much he will never try 10 cauture our nice little Magical boat again" the Captain said.
 "Ha' Don't you believe 1t" Ma g'cian Muggles howled as he came waking around tho end Of the ca bin, that old mean Giant wanted me 10 give h!m q whole lot of cream puffs and doughnuts, but I handed him two ldrl stones instead. And the mean old creatures picked me right from this boat and sent me scooting home, He saiI if I didn't run homo right away, h. would give me tho hardest thump l ever had"
 And I srtct tha' you deserve q hard thump :oo." the lHtle captain said, Anyone who makes a promise should keep that promise, shouldn't they Raggeiy Ann?"
 And that is why l shall keep my promise and capture this boat for my very own" Magician Mugglcs cried. Giants are no good anyway, and I wouldn't keep a promise 10 a giant, or anyone else, if I didn't want to"
 So Magician Muggles pushed Rag gedy Ann from the boat, then he pushed Raggedy Andy from the boat. then he pushed the little fat ! captain from the boa
 ] Now spect you ehall never see 1 this magical boat again" the Ma gician laughed. T shall sail 1t away all by myself.'
 And he turned the magic switch 1 which made the little white boat sal hut the little white boat stood { still, "Hero! Tell me whats the trou- be with this magic boat" the Ma stcian hoyled at the little captain T. won't go for me"
 "l sha, tell you just what he trouble is." great bass voice cried ! ever and ever so loud. II was the l voice o' the Giant and the Magic ian'S knees knocked together and his teeth went "Clickety Click"
 And there, right in front of tho little white hoa stood the giant, and he was holding the boat so mat it would not budgc speck. 'I heard what you said. Mister Magician Mug. gles'" the giant cried, 50 now yor shall get the haraset thump you evei

 At this Mrs, Burke got quite peevish, Priscilla saiI "Brcause q man is wealthy does everyone think that he must always give up his life work or . prosperous business ?" she asked with asperity.
 The woman answered heSltating)y. NO, I suppose not, Ulgtl. is dirfrr"u, with a man. One hardly expects q woman to work if sho loes not have to. l have to work.

 Of course I am not going 10 say 6 word 10 John until I know that Priscilla vas not mistaken. l can hardly believe that he was not, for it does not seem reasonable that any wife would keep a secret Of any kind from her husband and this shop has been going on for over a year.

 T know, Mother" I began, "but---''
 A look of absolute terror leaped into her eyes.
 You - know-o" she croaked hoarsely, forgetting to whisper.
 A quick intuition that there was something real behind her terror, that 1t was not all Authorization, guided my answer.
