by horse, the hobby horse said, What scratched me when you hugged me. Rag gedy Andy?"
 Raggedy Andy looked and then re- membered that he had stuck the little brown mans magic charm, the horse shoe nail, in his waist.
 Raggedy Andy had forgotten that he had the magic charm, but now he laughed and patted the hobby horse upon his wooden head. With this magic charm, we will return to the home of the Grannys and in a short time we will find way to outwit the two mean old Witches!" he said.
 So again Raggedy Andy hopped upon the hobby horses back and was carried through the woods to the home of the Grannys. And there Raggedy Andy and the hobby horse hid in the bushes at the back of the house to see what the Witches were doing and plan how to recover the magic boat which was standing right in the front door.

MARGARET TUDOR

Princess Margaret Tudor became the wife of James ". of Scotland on Janu- ary 26. 1903. The girl who thus be- came Queen of Scots was then only thirteen years of ago, and the eldest daughter of King Henry VIII. of Eng land.
 The ceremony was performed at the Manor of Richmond, but the bridegroom was not among those present, being rep resented by his proxy, Patrick, Earl of Boutwell,. After the ceremony the child bride, beautiful, modest, gracious and talented, set out to join her husband in Scotland.
 She never reached him, as he was slain while leading an army to invade England. Thus the plans of her royal father to unite the English and Scotch royal houses for amty were frustrated.

Little Stories For Bedtime
DANNY AND NANNY FIND OUT
 WHERE THEY ARE

MUELLER THE HOUSE MOUSE
 was nervous. He kept fidgetting
 about and lookinog over to the hole where Robber the Brown Rat had disappeared. It was plain that he was ready to run at the least sound from that direction. He had tried to put on once more the grand airs he had had when he had first spoken to Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse, for were they not country cousins? But Danny had put an end to this in short order.
 Don't put on any airs with us, Cousin Nibbler," said be, and there was something in the tone of his voice that made Nibbler a wee bit uneasy. we may have short tails and we may not be as trim and handsome as you, though compared with Cousin Whitefoot the Wood Mouse you are not so very much for looks yourself. We are just plain, honest people and we want some plain, honest answers to some plain, honest questions. If we don't get them" Danny didn't finish. He just took two or three steps toward Nibbler and gritted his teeth. It wasn't at all d pleasant sound.
 Nibbler backed away hastily and looked as if ready to run.
 Il wouldn't if I were you," said Danny.
 Nibbler noticed how chunky and strong Danny looked and he suddenly was most polite. II don't want to run," said he, which wasn't the truth. I'm very glad to see you and I'll be very glad to answer all the questions I can. As I said before we were inter- rupted by Robber, my name is Nibbler. Wouldn't we get along better if knew what to call you"
 q am Danny Meadow Mouse and this is Nanny Meadow Mouse" replied Danny. "Now, in the first place, we want to know where we are?"
 Nihbier looked surprised. He was surprised. Of course, he supposed that Danny and Nanny had come there pur- posely. Why, you're in Farmer Browns barn, Cousin Danny" said he.

just common tramps, and nothing more."
 Danny's eyes flashed. He suddenly looked very fierce. Before he could say a word Nibbler hastened to say, "I was just joking Cousin Danny. Really I was"
 II don't like your style of joke" growled Danny.
 "Of course, if you say your house is with you, it must be-" Nibbler hastened on, "but never heard of such a thing before. IT would like to see it, Cousin Danny" G Just then heavy steps sounded out side the barn door. "Run!" squeaked Nibbler. Danny and Nanny ran back among the cornstalks.

My wife taught me to laugh
 at myself. This is the utmost
 woman can do for man. I don't
 know when or how the inStruc-
 tiOn began, or how long it has last
 ed, if, in fact, it is not still going
 on. I suspect my consciousness of
 1t Sprang from one of those early
 cOntemplatiVe pauses in which the
 puzzled young man asks himself,
 How can 1t be that this adorable
 creature is married to me?
 "Perplexity gradually resolved into a smile over the incomprehensible riddle and laughter followed as the situation grew more and more amazing with the years. No, on occasions, sit apart, so to speak, gazing in third personal fash ion upon Mir. and Mrs. Us, seeking some solution to the enigma, only to burst at length into uproarious gpffas. I ask myself, What on earth can that lovely woman see in such a fellow? How can she stand him?'
 "The problem simply becomes Judi crous. That she should have committed herself to matrimony at my hands in the first place may be accounted for as daring impulse, incipient folly on Her part put ner continued endurance of me is inexplicable.
 ''How any woman can put up with any man for any protracted period has always been mystery to me. Perhaps her expensive appreciation of the hu- morous has enabled her to survive the Ordeal-a sustaining realization that was funny sort of thing may have lent her some small measure of compensation in amuSement. Maybe, too, this spirit through association, has been communi- cated to me. This may explain the manner of my tuition. Whatever the explanation, the resultant effect has been invaluable.
 Specifically speaking, I am most grateful to my wife for having taught me to laugh-at myself. As q matter of fact, she has been most helpful-I am beholden to her for everything. Such debts of gratitude one can never repay nor even hope to adequately acknowl- edge before ones fellows.
 "To the Lady Herself, I delight to say, My dear, 1 thank you for YOU"

 actor of many years experience
 both on the spoken stage and on the screen. He was leading man for Amelia Bingham, Frances Starr, Jes- sic Bonstelle and others and at this time was known as the handsomest man on the stage.

His wife, Margaret Mckinney of Seattle, Wash ington, was prima donna in several musical comedies and shared with him a creditable stage success. The follow ing interview was granted me by Mir.
