 Its Raggedy Ann and Raggedy An dy and the hobby horse and MT. Fixus," Mir. Fixus replied.
 Then the door was opened just tiny crack and a little old lady peeked out.
 My! was afraid it might be Hazel Hagg," she said. Hazel Hagg was here the other day and tried to take my ice cream soda water fountain away from me"
 "And Hazel Hagg and Heezy the Witch are chasing us, too" Raggedy Ann said. "They will not bother us now, though, for they ate some magic cream puffs and changed into Hippity Kinks"

Witches, the Witches thought that in stead of Raggedy Ann having a magic candy heart, it must be Raggedy Andy who had it, so now they wished to cap ture Raggedy Andy and snip open his cloth body and take out his candy heart Of course Raggedy Andy did not have a candy heart, but this the Witches did not know.
 Hippity Kinks are queer creatures, with one short leg and one long leg, and when they try to run, and Hippity Kinks always run, they can only run in a circle. So, when the two Witches ate cream puffs from magic bush they turned into Hippity Kinks and ran in circle. This gave the Raggedys and MT. Fixus an opportunity to escape.
 When the magical hobby horse stopped at a queer little house, MT. Fix us said, "I believe this will be a nice place to stop and rest.

and Don were wrestling with the man. With a sudden swift blow Don knocked the revolver from his hand. For a mo- ment Ivan hung limp in the big Bo- hemian's arms. Then with a glance to- wards Avril that assured him he had done his worst, he suddenly wrenched himself free and with a mad laugh dashed from the room. From the sur rounding offices the cleaners appeared and gave chase when they saw the re volver on the floor.
 A groan burst from Don's lips as he turned towards Avril. Forgetting the stinging pain in his cheek and ignoring the warm trickle of blood on his face, he gently lifted the unconscious girl. Thank God :" he murhured as he real ized she was uninjured. Then carrying her to the conference room he laid her

gedys inside to have some of her ice cream soda water, for she knew they must be tired and thirsty. And do you know, they had hardly started to drink their ice cream sodas when they heard great racket right outside on the front porch and looking out of the windows they were just in time to see the magi- cal hobby horse lift up his wooden heels and send the two mean old Witches topsy turvy out upon the ground.
 "Now, then" the hobby horse cried as he ran behind the witches and nipped their heels, don't you dare come back here to bother us again" !"
 And the Witches ran lickity split through the bushes as fast as they could go, for they did not care to feel the wooden heels of the hobby horse again. So the Raggedys and their friends were left to enjoy the lovely sodas.
