Raggedy Andy fooled old Munga the witch very easily when she tried to take his little green magic book away from him.
 They were all, Raggedy Andy, Rag gedy Ann, the nice poor man, the magic hobby horse and the witch, in the lovely house on wheels.
 And the house on wheels was roll ing along through the deep, deep woods lickity split when this hap pened.
 Just as the witch was about to snatch the book away from Raggedy Andy, he jumped right out of the window and rolled over and over when he hit the ground but of course this did not hurt him a bit for he was made of cloth and stuffed with nice white cotton. but he got up and ran into the bushes.
 '"'he mean old witch will iump from the window, too" Raggedy Andy thought. And she will get very hard bump too when she does." So he hurried and read in his little green magic book just how to make himself get back upon the front porch of the house on wheels when the old witch jumped off. So, just as the witch jumped from the window and went tumbling over and over against sticks and stones, Raggedy Andy found himself upon the front porch of the house on wheels.
 His friends were surprised to see him walk in iust as the old witch went out the window. but Raggedy Andy soon explained how he did it,
 Now 1 have been thinking" Rag gedy Andy said as Raggedy Ann passed around some chocolate cake with whipped cream on it and giass of lemonade apiece.
 What have you been thinking ." the nice poor man asked.
 Excuse me moment while I read just how to work the magic l wished to work. then I shall tell you what I have been thinking after l work the ma gic.''
 Everyone was very quiet while Raggedy Andy looked through his little green magic book. An" he | said. Here it is! Just watch me work | the magic. on those two old witches. l Minga and Munga,"
 As Raggedy Andy said this. he 1it- | tie green magic book was whisked | put of his hands and the voice cf | the witch laughed loudly, | 'Ha, ha, ha, hal" like that. No one

you think l am. I'm only an idol that you worship, and shall be top pied over and broken into bits by my poor human failing, some day
 I would feel worse about this if I did not know that I will be the only thing to be brokcn--your heart will still be intact.
 So you thought Jack Prescott looked at me as though I belonged to him? Jim, in the language of the street, if Jack Prescott has any such thought as that, he has an- other think coming. I don't belong to any one except Sally Atherton.
 He amuscs me; his arrogance and conceit are so colossal. Many many times, knowing Leslie as do, l know the wonderful plans he brings down and retails 10 me as conceptions of his own, are something she has put into his head.
 He's clever chap for all that. and I probably shall go to lunch and dine with him again and again, dear boy, whatever people may say. l may be martyred in the coming years for my assumption that a woman may do exactly what a man may do without any more compunc- ton than man, and get away with it. But all the same, I'm going to live along this line as long as l do live.
 Of course I know that it is for tunate that I am hard headed, but l have schooled myself to be and to think like man. Whenever I find myself growing in sentiment inn mediately try to be as sentimental as possible. Men are always senti- mental, but they haven't much sem timent.
 Women, on the other hand, are ess apt to he moved by their emo- tions, but they have great deal Of that tenderness and loyalty which to me is sentiment.
 Jim, dear Jim, don't think of me loo much, for I'm not worth it, as worth goes. I'm just a woman who is determined to sue ceed, determined 10 do the thing she wants to do. and just now that thing is to be one of the best known advertising experts in the country. Come again and see me. I'll try not to hurt you, but don't expect me to break any engagements for not businesslike.
 Affectionateiy,

1 gcous. too fiamboyant and one readily l believed the auctioneers statement
 that the late Mir. Joseph Gerald had
 himself supcrintended the designing ! and manufacture of the box One also believed without hesitation that
 it had cost the milionaire over | ninety thousand dollars. Certainly the precious stones that studded it
 were worth at least fifty thousand l But the very idea that had given birth to the box was vulgar. It had been intended to be the receptacle for certain jewels of Geralds wife. The thing angered me. Artists in precious metal had been debauched 1 by Gerald's money and forced to prostitute their gifts for beauty in order to gratify mllionairc's vulgar whim. l wondered that anyone save a dealer in gold and jewels, who pro- posed to buy the thing for it's intrin- sic value. should bid upon it. But Gerald's death had not rid the kord Of vulgarity
 The bidding opened at ten thou sand dollars. and progressed rapidly ] men whom intuitivey knew were dealers. Then another man took a hand. His clothing alone stamped him for what he was, newly en- riched vulgarian. For his coat was cut in the extreme of Broadway fashion; his neckwear was an offense 10 a gentleman, and the solitaire dia- mond that gleamcd from its slken folds must have weighed a dozen carats, He had not been born to money; long acquaintance with it would have incucatcd in him few, at least. of the Fundamentals of cor rect attire. His nose was a mere blob, pielike. His eyes, pccping over rolls of fat, were also porcine. His forehead slanted back, and his heavy jaws and jutting chin made him ani- mal-like. Another of the filthy prof. teers who had grown fat upon the sufferings of tho world. Another of those persons who had risen from the depths during civilizations great con vulsion
 I could picture the wife of this man; as loathsomc as himself doubt less. Also l could picture the price less jewclry that would go into that box. For if man would give sixty five thousand dollars--it was knocked down to him at tho price--tor place in which 10 put his jewels, what were the jewels themselves worth?

Letter from Sally Aulerton to James
 COndOn, Continued.
 The love part of your letter. dear Jim, was very poetic and beautiful, and l think my greatest happiness was that l have not become so hard ened that I could not appreciate 1t. My eyes grew misty as read it, and l think, dear boy, that I was little envious-for Jim. dear Jim, I have never had anyone to whom ] could talk like that and mean it. l don't think I'm capable of it.
 The utter sincerity of your devo- tlon is almost religious in its fervor. That you are a worshiper at a false shrine, and that your idol is wholly of clay. does not take anything from the sublimity of your great faith. No one, it seems, from what you wrote me of the conversation that you overheard, could shatter your faith in me.

 Raggedy Andy felt very sad at the loss Of his magical book and so did the wooden hobby horse and the nice poor man. but what could they do?
 They could do nothing, but Rag gedy Ann could.

That Harry Underwood would re, member my inordinate liking for sea food ! was sure, and ] therefore was not surprised when after an hOrs- d'aenNre Of anehosies and caviar. the waiter brought clam cocktails, fal- lowed by cups of sieaming clam broth The portion of both apnetizers and cocktails were smaller than the or- dinary and ] recognized another spe- eial touch of my escorts, \ dinner he orders has number nf courses but all the earlier ones are eunailei in quantity, while their luality=-and noreliy--are aeeentuated,
 Bri it was when the third course came on that Mr, indorwOod's sparkling eyes and expression. like that of a benevolent Sunday school Santa Claus, told me that he nx. peeted me especially to enjoy the contents of inc silror.cnvored dish which the waiter served as if he were. performing rite.

 He had some vocabulary, the old dicky- -bird!" my husbands oldest friend said reminiscently, and then after little silence, he spoke ab- ruptly: Them were the time, old gal! Them were the times!"
 There was an intonation in his voice which caused me toSlook at him sharply. Was it possible that he regretted the folly which had cost him Lillian's wifely comradeship, even though romantic affection never had entered into their union, or was his repining simply wish for the return of the social evenings which he, Lillian, Dicky and I used to spend together?
