Just fhen Raggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy and Rags puppy dog and the nice Grocery boy thought the mean old Witch Wiggins had captur- cd them, the horse, which had car ried the old Witch up 10 where the Kaggsdys and the Grocery boy had run, said, "0ld Witch, you said that the Raggedys would spoil all Che grass in the deep, deep woods and then would have nothing to eat"
 That is just what I said" the old Witch howled. But I vas foolins you! I knew unless told you some thing like that. you would not carry the Raggedys. Now that am up with the Raggedys. you can run home. for I am through with you."
 "Oho." the horse cried. "So you were ibbing to mel l will teach you lesson for I shall carry you right back 10 where we started from" and without waiting for the old Witch 10 hop off. the horse turned and ran Lack through the woods.
 "whes." the Grocery boy cried as he kicked up his heels and threw his hat in the air. we have escaped from the mean old Witch again! Now we can take our time and do just as ve please. for old Witch wiggins can not catch up with us noEi The horse has carried her way bacls through the woods almost back to my grocsry!"
 So the nice Grocery boy took the Eaggedys and little Rags puppy dog 10 a secret place in the woods where there was q large round fiat stone.
 Tho RsEgsdys did not know what the stone was Tor. but the nice Gro cery boy soon showed them.
 Near the stone was a large box and from the box the Grocery boy took large spoon. With this. he dipped Latter from a round can and dropped the batter upon the stone. Then the Raggedys knew, II was a large wal fe stone and it was very hot. The batter sizzIed and soon cooked the incest wsffies you could imagine.
 When the rafIes were cooked. the nice Grocery boy took them 10 a pie of white sand and dtsted each waffle uith the sand: only the sand was pow cersd sugar. This made the uaffIes very nice indeed. and the RaEge1ys and little Rags puppy dog and the Grocery boy ate ~sffies until they had all they rished. Nov l must tsll you

TAKING THE FIRST STEPS

About this time the child will al- ready indicate a desire to creep and if normal. will have started doing SO. By the ninth month it should be try ing to stand up and before the end of a year should be able to take some steps. Many babies are walking within year. while others take up to i5 months Hst t8
 IL is unwise to encourage the baby to walk without some mechanical contrivance to aid while the bones are gaining their proper strength. Also the child should be allowed to assume the posturc it chooses and should not be encouraged to assume any particular position, or 10 walk before it shows desire to.

How you carry that child--Look out--Don't sit her down that way!"
 Mrs. Mann was constantly interrupt ing Mir. Mann's parades with the first born.
 And we'll she might keep a careful eye. for the posture of the child is most important.
 For several months tho baby should remain lying. If 1t has properly de- reloped by the third month 1t should be able 10 hold the head up without aid. Its back and head should always be supported by the person holding the child. By the end of the sixth month the child should be able to sit up without support.

 Then. sffer her head stopped vhiri- ing. she jumped up and ran after the Raggedys. Just you wait until I catch them." she boEled to herself as she ran.

Her heart began to beat excitedly as she found herself once more in the beautiful hall.
 How she would love to have this place for her home!
 What luxury it would mean to be the wife of David Bretherton!
 Miss Narney hurried from the drawing room to meet her. She was kindly soul, and had welcome for everyone: but she had never really liked Dora Fisher. .... .l......
 II the truth must be told, she was a little afraid of her and her smart clothes. .......
 What an unexpected visitor!" she said, holding out her hand.
 s'But not an unwelcome one, I hope" said Dora quickly. She stopped and kissed Miss Varney's cheek affectionately.
 DO you know that I've done a most silly thing?
 HYou remember the Carews? They lived at Holly Lodge. Well, Mrs. Carew used to be a great friend of mine, and I suddenly took it iuto my head to run down and see her. We hadn't met for months, and now hear that they've left the place weeks ago."
 There was laughing dismay in her voice.
 Weeks, my dear? Months!" said Miss Sarney. And didn't you know :? What a pity! And you've come all this long way for nothing!"
 q don't mind, and I'm so glad you are at home. had 10 wait ages for a train back, so thought I would run up and see you. How well you are looking!"
 were all very we'll" Miss varney answered, as she led the way into the drawing-room.
 She rang for tea, and insisted on taking her visitors wraps, though Dora protested that she could not stay five minutes.
 You must stay and see David now" the old lady declared. "He would be so disappointed not to see youi"
 "Is he out, then?"
 Yes; he's teaching Mary to drive the car. Oh, l forgot. you don't know Mary, do you-poor Nigers wife?"
 sIve never met her, but Monty has, and he told me she was staying with you. She's very pretty, isn't she?"
 Miss Varney hesitated.
 'swcet-looking, I should call her." she said then. She's such a dear child; I don't know what I should do without her nown
 Has she been here long, then?"
 Nearly three weeks, and really | cant imagine how we stood the house without her It's wonderful, the difference she makes!"
 Dora looked interested.
 And SO David is teaching her to drive the car. How nice!"
 "Yes; she can really drive quite well now. But he's nervous, and won't let her go out alone yet. Of course, the lanes are rather narrow round here. and If anything happened to the child re should never forgive ourselves"
 Dora Sit her lip. So this was the soiutioni Nigel's wife had succeeded in ingratiating herself with both David and this old woman. Monty had been right, after all: and even if this girl found the Red Grange dull, and David uninteresting, she had been too clever to let anyone discover it
 T should love to meet her!" she said enthusiastically. T was 50 fond Of poor Nigell"

 /nNhen we reached the inyalids Sroom we found her sitting erect in her chair. her cheeks pink and her eyes snapping.
 Look here, girls slpe said crisply. "This consalesccnt business is played out. You'd think l was two-year- old child the way I'm bossed around"
 That's right" Dicky said sooth- ingly. There's nothing worse than being bosscd around. We'll be square
 She struck at him playfully. but there was also real impatience in the gesture.
 Do be quiet for fifteen seconds" she implored, and then turned to me.
 Here are Leila and Katherine, 5 she said, waving her hand toward them, actually telling me that I'd better not call this Lncy or whatever her name is up here and tell hf about luncheon. Anybody would think Dr. Braithwaite cut out 2 section of my brain when he operated. l may not be brilliant, but think l still can manage to order a luncheon without bringing humiliation on the family
 She was so fetching in her indig- nation that We all shouted with laughter and Dicky patted her hand.

 Dicky- bird" she said. and we won't have any chaperone, either. But that doesn't settle this other ques- tion.'
 She looked beligcrently at us, and Katherine spread her hands with a little gesture of surrender.
 "All right she said. Leila, will you go after her. or"
 "Oh please" Lcila's hands twisted together nervously. "I can't stand her. hate to lie down like this but"
 "Im Composing My Menu
 Don't he foolish" kathorine's tone was brisk and reassuring. 'I don't blame you for feeling scary. you have fo stay here with her, but its all In the days work with mo. No, your majesty" she turned 10 little Mrs. Durkee. ''plcasc don't get m and walk around. Yonll be all tired out before she comes"
 "I'm composing my menu" Mrs Durkee responded laughing. You know lots Of poets walk around for inspiration
 'Yes. but they're longer away from . hospital bed than you are" kath- erine retortcd incxorably. Come now. "I've given in 10 you about bringing I.ucy up here, and you must humor me n bit"
 Her face and smile were coaxing, but her voice was infiexible beneath it's softness. and l noticed that though little Mrs. Durkee poutcd, she scuttled back to her scat as a cowed child might have done. But when Katherine had left the room she began to scold like magpie.
