Ut will be nice adventure hunt ing for your Mama" Raggedy Ann said to the Zumzee and the brave Thingum. And I am sure we shall find here somewhere in the deep, deep woods!"
 "Oh! am sure we will" both Mrs. Minglt and MT. Mungle said.
 Mrs. Mingle, with her magic charms had made a nice little red wagon for the magical hobby horse to pull, and in the wagon Mrs. Mingle had put her magical cupboard. "We will get hun gry along the way" Mrs. Mingle said. And with my magical cupboard we can reach inside and get any kind of goodies we can think of"
 Ut will come in very handy, l am | sure!" the Thingum said. For we l have only come short distance and I am beginning to feel hungry al ready!"
 Then we had better stop and eat a bite!' Mrs. Mingle said
 No one can travel very well when they are hungry!" So everyone sat down upon the soft grass while Mrs. l to the magic cupboard and took out the goodies she had wished for.
 There were pies and cakes and ice cream cones and bananas and cream and strawberries and everything al most. It was very nice lunch and every one thanked Mrs. Mingle.
 "Ahai" a loud voice cried, just as our friends were preparing to start on their journey again." and out to- wards Mrs. Minge walked a crooked legged little man.
 "I live in a little house right through the bushes there!" the little crooked legged man said. Wont you come to my house and rest bit, you must be very tired after travelling so far,"
 "Thank you very kindly" Mrs. Mingle replied. we will be glad to come and rest awhie." So the crook 1 ed legged man led the way down ail- | other path to his house.

 I'm going to commence this letter. dearest, with that old bromide, I'm the happiest woman in all the world" I expect Walter would make the same assertion. only putting man in place of woman, If you should ask him the question.
 It doesn't seem possible to me dear, that can live in this particular rari- fled atmosphere all the remainder of my life, but Walter is so perfect. Every minute since we have been married he seems to have thought of no one or nothing but me. He wants to load me down with jewels, and yes- terday proposed string of pearls. You will smile, Leslie, when I tell you that I refused them, and instead he gave me diamond platinum chain that is perfectly gorgeous.
 It seems strange to me, Leslie, that I, Ruth Ellington Burke, will In the future have no cause to worry about the necessities or the luxuries of life---I, who have always had to struggle so hard to make both ends meet. You know when I was mar ried to Harry, although he had plenty of money at times and was very poor at others, he was extremely close al- ways with me. l was always the one who had to economize. One hour after Walter arfd l were married he gave me a k-book' in which ] found s25,oo0 had been placed to my account.
 I'm sending you today string of lovely old amber beads. l know how extravagantly you admired the ones we saw at that art shop in Albany. These, I think, are much more beautiful.
 You know, dear l had, little sentiment about sending to you something which was paid for out of my new hank account. I want you to know how I appreciate all your sweetness and kindness to me how you stood up for me even when Jack insisted that you should turn me down. I'll never forget it, Les

 Keep the campsite clean for the next fellow. A clean camp will not attract insects. Nothing makes a camper angrier than 10 come upon a once clean site and find it clut- tered with debris from the last occu- pant.

Why sIadge Eagerly Agreed to
 I4ilIian's Reluesi

Lillian looked up auizzieally as l entered, bearing ln one hana me lemon. the request for which had been my excuse for knocking al Mrs, Marks door, l read temporary re- taxation in both her face and her posture and knew that the tack she had sci herself was going along to her satisfaction,
 .E,srytsins is iaks'" she quoted laughingly.
 "Eyen more than that" re- turned, immeasnrahly eheered by the optimism read m her de' msanoF.
 'The redaublahle rotsy didn't give battle, then, take it7" she eoh- finued, lazily,
 .Indeed. no. Instead. he told his wife 10 go along to the door when rave my name, and l was enabled 10 deliver your messages and 10 receive from her an enthusiastic blessing upon yon and a promise to do as you asked"
 "I could manage without the first" Lillian grinned, but am mighty glad for the promise, Now. sit down. ] have something io ask of you. and. believe me, child. I'd rather have tooth pulled than do it."
 A sudden intuition made tho air of the room appear suddenly cold, but with tremendous effort l forced my voice 10 casualness as l asked:
 "You wish me to take Mollie Faw- cett home wit hme for a few days?"
 Lillian permitted herself auizzi- tal stare st me.
 "Clairvoyant creature!" she gibed. 'svhat makes you think so?"
 There's nothing psychic about It." I retorted. bit nettled at the intimation that 1t was instinct, not reasoning, which had guessed her purpose.

You don't look sick" said Timothy And you didn't act sick a while back"
 I'm sick" repeated the Wreck. 'How I look has nothing to do with it. Its nerves. One of my spells is coming on. It was beginning this afternoon--just beginning, you un- derstand ?"
 The look that he gave Timothy bored him like an auger.
 "I tried to walk it off, but ! couldn't. It's coming on again. It gets worse. If I don't get to bed there's no telling"
 Timothy began wiping his hands on ball of cotton waste.
 "I1l wait on table" he said gloomily. "Only if I don't do it right they haven't got any license to i bawl me out. You better go get into bed right away"
 The Wreck went off to the bunk house, where he stretched himself on the blankets and tried to get in- terested in an old magazine. He felt like a man who had retreated under fire, but he knew there was nothing else to do. What worried him most was the possibility that Sally might face a crisis alone. If anything hap pened he wanted to be there.
 Sally did not find Timothy par ticularly delft, although he seemed to be willing enough, once she had an apron on him. She instructed him in some of the rudiments, and had him practicing at the kitchen table, with imaginary guests to be served.
 Its only for this evening, I'm sure" she said. Henry is almost certain to be better in the morning."
 Timothy said he hoped so, because the boss was always fussy about how his meals were served. having lived In New York most of his life.
 Sally felt easier in mind when he reported that the family and the sheriff were at the table. It gave her a breathing spell. She knew that Bob was not likely to get up from the table so long as there was any, thing more to be served. Eating, to him, was a pleasurable job of stok- ing, as she had learned from plenty of experience at the Bar-M He was even slightly vain of his achievements as trencherman; Charley had been entirely right about if. So she kept Timothy busy between kitchen and dining room, carrying things that made him so hungry to look at that he could scarcely wait for his own turn.
 In fact, he did not wait. for on one of his trips back to the kitchen Sally observed that he was munching some thing. He brazenly admitted that he had been "snitchhg' a biscuit or two. ....
 "They look so good. ma'am," he said with an apologetic smile. And I'm pretty empty. Besides that it gets on your nerves to hear 'em boosting the food when all you're supposed to do is carry it round."
 Of course she could not be angry.
 Who is boosting it?" she asked.
 ''The boss and the sheriff are both doing it." said Timothy. "But you've got to admit they make good every thing they say by the way they lick into it."
 Jt did not surpris her to hear that Bob Wells was enjoying himself. What joke it was! If he only knew! It was some satisfaction to know that you were doing good job, even if you were conscriptcd.
 Timothy kept her informed of the progress of supper, and also made a report. of the conversation.
 Tt turns out" he said. That other parties beside US have been getting held up. The country gets awful wild when you're this far from New York"
