Now, ma agical hobby horse, please tell us where you have been all this time?" RaggedS Ann said as she and Raggedy Andy and little Walter and the hobby horse came to a beautiful woodland ice cream soda water spring.
 Well, sir" the hobby horse said, after he had taken a drink of straw berry ice cream soda water, "I do not know just how happened to get away from you, Raggedy Ann. though I believe l must have had some magic worked upon me. Any way, l seemed to awaken and you and Raggedy Andy were nowhere in sight, and was shut up in shed. knew 1t was a shed because when awakened and started to run, l ran smack dab into the side of the shed and bumped my head; then ] ran the other way and bumped my head. l spect l made a lot of noise for presently the door to the shed opened and little old lady with candle poked her head in and said, My goodness! What in the world arc you trying to dO?'
 I'm trying to get out of here told her.
 Don't you know that you can't run right through the side Of a wood shed?' she asked.
 "'Yes,' I replied. But how was to know that l was in a wood shed when it was so dark in here couldn't see anything?' The little old lady laughed and patted me on the head. 'Of course there was no way for you to know she said Then she told me to come in the house with her and sine would see if she could find me some saw dust breakfast food.

 She must have been a very kind ly little old lady". .Raggedy Ann said. The hobby horse chuckled to him. self, then said out loud, Indeed. She was, Raggedy Ann, and when l told her that I would rather have something to eat besides saw dust breakfast food, she gave me some doughnuts and cookies. Then she told me that she had found me lying in the path near her house and she and her husband had carried me home and put me in the shed. We thought that you were just play hobby horse. she told me. Then, she said that her husband had hard ly locked the door 10 the shed when queer little man came running up and asked. Where did you put that magical hobby horse? Tell me quick or l shall change you both into WilDywiggics.' So they knew almost sure pop that the queer little man was a Wizard. he,was so impolite the little lady said 10 him, If that was your hobby horse, why did you leave him lying in the path?'

 Then I do not believe it is your hobby horse at all,' the kind little old lady said.

As a child l named (se- cretly) my boy dolls after him, and you will remember l always loved and played with boy dolls more than those representing girls, AS l grew older, he was the real hero of every play saw upon the stage and every st ory 1 read. 1 used 10 think that Leslie was the most fortunate girl in the world because his face lighted up when he looked at her But l used to cry myself to sleep night after night, when l saw how devoted be was 10 her: and I think from my earliest childhood l grew more and more to hate her for treating him as she did
 I know that l should have hated her with a murderous hatred for making poor Karl so unhappy when she fell in love and married John, if l had not had a sneaking thought that perhaps now he would turn 10 me. l did everything in my power to sympathize with him, all the while trying to show him that there were girls in the world in whom great love such as his would beget like love.
 Mother dear, think back to the time when you were a young girl just budding into womanhood. Did you not have a great. romantic urge |? l am sure most girls have it. You could not have made me acknowl- edge it then had you tortured me on the rack, but waking l thought Of Karl, and sleeping 1 dreamed of him Waking. my thoughts were more or less unhappy, but sleeping, Karl always loved me, he was always my , prince, with whom l was going to live happy ever after. If you remember, at the time Of Leslies wedding l was particularly disagreeable. I had times of great elation and times of great unhappi- ness. Mother dear, you put that down, as did all the rest, to my youth, but l believe if ever I have children I shall inquire further into it than you did into my impulses and moods.
 I'm not blaming you at all. You are the sweetest and best mother that ever lived, You only trusted 10 my common sense and sane inteli- ! gence too much. You did not take into consideration that most children must be taught all the ethics Of life.
 Strange, isn't 1t, Mother, dear, 10 hear me making such a profound remark? But I've been thinking a lot lately. In fact, l haven't much 10 do but think.

l which had been mine because of his unobtrusive watchtul care of me.
 Which was the true answer to the mystery of this bizarre letter? {?
 Had Hugh Grantland gone mad or were they true-these almost unbelievable things he had written to me?
 felt as if were facing a blank wall with the inquiry, and fever ishly l turned again to my mem ory pictures of Hugh Grantland, wondering if l could find in them any tiny clew to the strange thing confronting me.
 remembered my first impress sion of Hugh Grantland, when he "a tall rangy youth in an army officers uniform-rescued me from the brutal discourtesy of a trolley conductor. l had remarked then the odd combination of boyish shy ness and awkwardness with vet cran ability and resourcefulness which he possessed. But 1t was the thrilling spy-hunting adventure into which we were thrown and his spectacular rescue for me following. that had intensified Ry appreciation of his unusual qualities.
 Mama Where Arc You?"
 Then I had realized that he was the Captain Grantland it was later that his majors commission came-hero of unnumbered exploits in France where he had gone to join the Foreign Legion in the first days of the World war, and sub iect of many newspaper feature because of his odd history.
 Born of wealthy parents, his childhood had been as restricted in some ways as it was induIged in others. He never had been allowed to go to school, had been sent to college directly from an elderly tu- tors hands, and in his second year he had been expelled for some req son that had never been divulged by the college authorities. His mothers heart had broken, his fathers had been turned to stone.
 1mplacable he turned the boy away from home, and from that day to one a number of years later when a quiet youth entered the J, 1oh of vi, railroad to the one his father headed, there was a hiatus in Hugh Grsntland's life which he never had explained, and which never had been ferreted out.
 His rise in the service had been phenomenal and though his father could keep the boy away from his mothers deathbed. he could not keep her private fortune. no incon- siderable one, from going 10 him.
 Hugh Grantland had given up both wealth and his high position when he went to the war, and through the wealth remained, he never had zone hack to the rail- road, choosing rather to serve his country in ways that were as un- obtrusive as they were effective.
 Did the answer to his odd screed lie in that service?
 Was he perhaps paying penalty for his patriotism?
 It was with the sensation of sud denly being summoned from sleep that I heard my small sons voice calling me from the corridor:
 Mama Mama. Where are you?"

The Puxzling Problem Madge Faced
 About Hugh Grantland

hDout hugn Grantlhnd
 Hugh Grantland insane! Thai keen intellect clouded, that mag. nifcent physique dominated by tho hirelings of an institution for the care of the mentally sick
 I could not believe 1t, and yet for the first few minutes following my reading of the wild strange let ter had just received from him, l could imagine no other explanation for his sending me such an epistlo,
 For 1t was the intense passionate screed of youthful schoolboy, whose ideas of romance are gained from fiction Surely no man of Ma jor Grantland's age and experience could or would have planned so fervid a message if he were in his right mind.
 Those references 10 his approach ing and inevitable death also. How strained and incoherent they ap- peared when I read them over for the second time. I knew Hugh Grantland to he extremely brave and resourceful, yet these express sions of his were far more fitted to the lips of trapped victim of a third-reel cinema, then they were Co those of stern, poised army of- fcer.
 There could be no other explana- ton, told myself with a saddened A,eart, as took up the letter again.
 and yet
 As If the touch of the written words beneath my fingers had been a signal for the drawing aside of q memory curtain, there began to unroll before my minds eye crowded, swiftly reel of pictures in which Hugh Grantland was the central figure, and among them I saw the shy, wistful, boy ish expression which l long ago had detected beneath the army of- ficer's experience-e etched features.
 A man in years and ability he was an inexperienced, romantic, idealistic boy where women were concerned. It was not egotism, but observation backed by years of ex- perience in dealing with young people which made me realize the eternal boy In Hugh Grantland, and know that he spoke the truth when he had once told me that there never had been any women in ms life save his mother, long since dead.
 That he had idealized me, I was sure, and remembering his shyness' his awkwardness in the little social amenities which are second nature to men like Dicky, Alfred Durkee and Harry Underwood, who have been thrown much in feminine so- ciety, l dimly began to see that there were circumstances under winch he conceivaby might have written just such an unreal letter ss the one that lay before me.
 Is Hugh Mad?
 But this hypothesis meant that he really faced death, as this letter had said, was perhaps even now out of the word which had held such heights and depths of e1per- fence for him-the room suddenly seemed to grow colder as l realized what a blank in my T life Hugh Grantlands going would mean

 The saving of the skins of all these specimens for the museums was another monumental evidence of Heller's and Cunninghame's mas terly work with their skinning knives. With the help of the na- tivss they had trained they had ac- complished a most stupendous task under most difficult conditions. No expedition in Afr1cS had ever been better served by the staff that ac- companied it than Colonel Roosevelt was served by his personnel during those long months in Africa.
 Meanwhile Kermit had killed hi, second elephant, another rhino with good horns. greater Eudu and many other specimens of numerous varie: ties.
