 "0h, if you're reading or looking out of the window it's not really tiresome journey for this train makes few stops. Of course, had you come by local ysu might have had a different opinion" said Rupert smilingly.
 "Yes, suppose it would make a diff ference" answered Joan.
 Have you got everything" ques- tioned Rupert.
 "Yes, think so. Oh, here's a page I tore from one of the magazines. It has some rather interesting animal pie lures and perhaps your little boy would like to see them," and Joan stopped and picked it up.
 You bet he would," answered Ru- pert. Hes keen on animals. In fact he has number of pets and some of them are not relished by ladies. He thinks it's perfectly all right to hand you toad or ask you to hold his white mice, so if you'd rather not you'll have chance to learn something about diplomacy"
 "Oh, but I'm very fond of animals, or rather used to be-" replied Joan. Il haven't lived in the country of late and I don't believe in keeping any liv- ing creatures housed up in New York apartments"

to gather up your belongings before we reach the journeys end"
 '4Thank you, Mir. Ransome. It's very kind of you and I'm sure I'll enjoy the ride" replied Joan pleasantly.
 1.-The country is very lovely and you get splendid view from this side of the train" said Rupert. Perhaps" he added, you are already acquainted with it?"'
 i've never been farther than about fifteen miles along this line and that is still within the commuters settle ments," answered Joan as Rupert left her.
 A minute or two later the train pulled out of the station and as Joan looked around the car she realized that she was on the way to new scenes and secretly wondered what fate had in store for her. For a moment great loneliness seized her and the absence of family affection seemed to overwhelm her, for she knew that by taking this step she was cutting herself off from the friends who had practically taken the place of relatives in recent years. Banishing these thoughts from her mind she strove to read the magazines with which Rupert had supplied her. But she could not concentrate upon them, so raising her eyes towards the hills she told herself that she must solve more than one problem during this season of isolation from her friends.
 Meditating thus the hours sped quickly and she was amazed when she heard Rupert's voice say, Well be in the station in about ten minutes"
 Ut seems no time since we left the city," remarked Joan as she picked up her gloves and magazines while Ru- pert took her coat from the back of the

nLn PICTURE FRAMES

Among those discarded picture frames in the attic or storeroOm. there may be some useful frames. Why not use them? Remove the picture and replace it with an attractive glazed chintz, cretonne or a piece of handsome lace underlaid with paper or fabric which may. be either white or of harmonious tone.
 Buy a pair of brass, glass or porce- lain handles; glue piece of old felt or velvet on the back and you will have a very pretty tray. The old fash toned deep frames are especially good for this purpose.
 The castoffs may produce several novel trays so you, can have an as- sortment, ranging from the small tray for serving an individual beverage to the large family size.

CHAPTER XI
 IN SPITE of Joan's anxieties she
 arrived at the station five minutes
 ahead of the time appointed. As she looked around Rupert Ransome emerged from the crowd that always centers around the information booth.
 "Good afternoon, Miss Fairweather. I have your ticket and if you will let me have your baggage checks I'll see that your trunks are checked"
 Here they are," answered Joan but for a minute her proud spirit rebeiled at the thought of having her ticket bought and paid for by her employer. Then she smiled quietly to herself as she realized that she must accept all the prequisites and meet all the de- mands that are part and parcel of such a job as she was about to undertake.
 The baggage checked, Rupert said as they passed the book-stall, What magazines do you care for? You know we have Iearly three hours ,|on the train."
 "Oh, when I travel I always read magazines that I would never read at home," and Joan smiled.
 "How will this do?" questioned Ru' pert as he selected a couple of popular monthlies. q suppose you want some. thing with plenty of pictures and light fiction"
 That's exactly right" answered Joan as she acquiesced in his selection.
 "Now we'd better get aboard, we haven't many minutes to spare," an nounced Rupert as they walked towards the track. "I could get only one seat in the parlor car, but fortunately it's on the shady side. hope you won't mind if go in the smoker. You know this is a very popular train and it's always pretty well filled
 "Oh, that's all right" answered Joan, inwardly exulting that she would not have to sit beside her employer on the journey.
 As they passed through the car Joan felt a thrill of excitement. She was really leaving New York, which sud denly seemed to have lost its fascination for her. Finding her chair, Rupert said, T hope you will be all right Here are the magazines and 1 shall come through in plenty of time for you

 The Wizard could very easily have built these pretty little houses with his magic charms, but he>knew that it would be ever so much more fun if Walter and his mama and daddy used the golden pennies to build the house. SC he said, ''It is very kind and gener- ous for you to think of these nice things to do for others, and am sure that you have found a sure way of making happiness for yourselves Because any one who freely gives to another, will al- ways find that he receives far more pleasure than the one who keeps every thing for himself.

sent the little Magic boat sailing back the way it had come and in a very short time the Raggedys and the little fat Captain and the Wizard helped Walter and his mama and daddy carry the treasure ashore. And the Wizard with his magic charms built nice home for Walter and his mama and daddy and sent word all around that everyone who had need for golden pennies should come to Walters house.
 For" Walters mama said, "Now that we have all the shiny pennies, we must share them with all the people who live near here, so that they can buy the things they need !"
 "Why not build little town right here?" Raggedy Ann asked. This is a lovely place, right in the deep, deep woods and you can have a nice little ice cream soda parfor, fine little groc- cry store and fine bake shop, and everyone who comes to live in the pret- ty little town can have everything right handy"

 Inst what does that suggest to you? High ambition and dogged determine tion to secure the job at any cost? Or foolishness, an utter lack of senseE
 The girl in question had been brought up in an orphans home. A routine, homeless, unimaginatfve life at best. When she came of age-21-her little fortune of $6,000 was turned over to her. She left the orphanage telling the authorities she was going to a brother in Milwaukee. Instead, she sailed for England on a wild adventure to find the one man who had kindled in her the vision of a career, the hope of bright future. An elocution teacher told her four years ago she would be great emotional actress!
 She knew nothing of him except that he lived in the Isle of Wight, but strangely as a homing bird she sailed for England when she was freed from the home. Arrived in London she ap- piled to the postmaster, who informed Der that it was against regulations to give names or addresses. Checked but not discouraged she turned to a familiar name, an English actor, who had gained his fame in America and was playing in London. The actor manager agreed to see her and discuss her possibilities that following morn ing.
 1t was her chance and she knew it, but she was young and the strain of the voyage, the loneliness and disap- pointment had ben severe. She stayed awake through, a long strange night,

overslept the next morning and was late for her appointment. The actor manager had gone leaving a regretful note.
 A terrible disappointment, the worse, so her story runs, because she had been "chaperoned" by an English woman she met on the boat and who relieved her of all but hundred dollars. The girl turned to the Red Cross,was lec- tured for her extravagance and sent back to New York. Arriving in New York almost penniless she registered atsa hotel and was unable to settle her bill-so she slept on bench in the park and was taken into custody by the police.
 That is her story. Can you decide from the evidence whether she is fear less and direct, bound to succeed in the long run, or too careless, unfitted for the responsibilities of life-fit only to be returned to the shelter of the home.

 "What a fine little town it vii be! ]" Raggedy Ann cried. Let us name it Happy Town!"
 "Yes!" every one agreed, Let us name it Happy Town"
 And I shall, with my magic. send word only to those who@are kind and unselfish P The Wizard said, "Then everyone will be very good friends and we will all rejoice in the pleasure and happiness the others have"
 And that is how the pretty little town came to be in the deep, deep woods, and, if you are kind and unselfish, you will visit the Happiness Town some day and find Walter and his mama and daddy and the Wizard sharing their fun with their pleasant neighbors.

All Fat People
 Should Know This

Fat people owe debt of gratitude to the discoverer of the now famous Marmo- la Prescription. And they ought to be still more grateful because this effective obesity remedy is now prepared in tablet form. Marmola Prescription Tablets can be obtained at all drug stores the world over at the reasonable price of one dollar for a box. Or you can secure them di- rect by sending the price to the Mar mola Co.,, General Motors Bldg, Detroit, Mich. This now leaves no excuse for dieting or violent exercise for the reduc- ton of the overfat body to normal.
