Even though Mir. Fixus was fat, he could run very fast, so he ran along beside them as RagCcdy Ann and Raggedy Andy rode upon rle back of the magical hoDov horse.
 They were escaping from Hc"zy the Witch and Hazel Hagg who were auXlous 10 capture the Rag gedys and take their candy heart.
 You see. the Witches thought Raggedy Andy had a magic candy heart because he had worn a littil red cap he had found in a red box in Mr. FiXus' shop.
 The red cap had male RagEoGy Andy invisible and he had made the witches howl while they could not see him.
 So the Witches thought i vas Raggedy Andy who had q candy heart instead Of Ragscly Ann.
 Then when the two mean witches had caught Raggedy Andy and were just about to snip open his rag body 10 find the candy heart. NIT. l'ixus had put on the red cap and had given the witches d lot Of hard thumPs.
 So now, the Raggedys and Mr. Fiyus had galloped down the path until they came to a large bush filled with cream pufs and there they stopped 10 rest while they ate the cream pufrs,
 Mr. FiXus was just about 10 take bite Q fthc cream puff he had picked from the bush when Rpggcdy Ann stopped him. What iocs this little siga under the bush say, MT. FiNus?" she asked.
 Dear mo- MT, Iixus said, Its very good thing VIC did not eat any Of the cream puffs, because they are magic, The sign says, Whoever eats these cream puffs will grow into a Hippity Kltnk.' Now, wonder what Hiprity Kltnk can be-
 I'm sure I do not know" both Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy said.
 Aha" Hazel Hagg and Heezy the witch howled as they came running around the bend in the path. Here you are. Now we shall capture you as easy as pie" And Hazel Hagg threw d rope around Mr. Fixus so that he could not run and Heezy the witch caught Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy.
 Raggedy Ann wiggled her left shoe button eye at Raggedy Andy as much as 10 say, Now ] shall try 10 fool the Witches; you must keep still." Then she said to Heezy the

tell this to Leslie.
 Mrs. Atherton is an old girlhood friend of Leslie's but since her mar riage Sally has been very busy earning her living, you know, and they have grown apart. Leslie, how ever, got Sally her position with her husband and Mrs. Athcrton is very grateful to her for this. They still are very fond of each other, I think
 Personally I never cared very much for Mrs Atherton, She has always seemed to me to be a woman of strong impulses who might some- times find that they had overruleG her hard business head. She is par ticularly ambitious and her mar ried life was so unfortunate that she seems to feel that no man on earth is worth caring about, al. though I have heard her acknowl- edge that her life would be very miserable if it were not for the op- posttc sex. They are amusing" she says with a shrug of her shoulders.
 l must say, however that in this case she has shown a sense of re- sponslbility about the Hamilton Steel Plant and q friendship for Leslie of which I thought her self ishly incapable. She wanted me, as you will see by the letter which l am sending you, to tell Leslie all about Jack. I tried to do this this morning and found that some one of his friends last night after 12 o'clock had called her up by tele- phone and told her in a drunken voice what good fellow John Alden Prescott was.
 He asked Leslie If she really ap- rreciated her husband. Said he was the only man he had ever known who after marriage did not give old friends the go-by. 1 Honestly, Walter, it was awfury . funny To hear Leslie tell it you would be convnlsed. Even she her self had to laugh, but she ended with a sob.
 What shall I do?" she asked when she told me that, when Jack had come to the phone after she had to listen to this drunken har- 1 angue, she had told hcr husband she hated him and all hls friends.
 "He laughed at me, Ruth. He laughed at me and asked me if had no sense of humor. I defy any woman 10 see any humor in being called up at 12 o'clock at night to listen to the drunken maudln talk of a man whose only excuse was that he was a friend Of her hus- bands.
 T insisted that Jack should be called to the phone and then I po- litely told him what l thought of him and rung off. I think, Ruth dear. that every other woman in the world would have done the same as I If she had any self-respect whatever"

Lee Chow Tells Madge of Hugh
 Grantiand's Disappearance


 sensed dlsapproval in Lee Chow's voice. although he had issued his ultlmatum concerning his revelation of Hugh Grantland's fass in the same monotone which had invested all of his conversation.
 l realized that he had put into words my own secret desire to attempt the solving of tho mystery which appeared to hang around Hugh Grantland - and suddenly l was ashamed of my own tcmporiz- ing,
 Indeed. I wish 10 help Major GrantIand," I said earnestly. "T will do anything in my power to aid him. But l haven't the slightest Idea where he IS. Can you tell me 9"
 He shook his head sorrowfully.
 Ice Chow not know. If Lee Chow know. he not here. he with big boss man. Here, You come over here, sit down. Lee Chow tell you all he know"
 He walked rapidly ahead of me for a few feet, and stopped beside an immense fallen tree, pointed to a section of 1t which looked as if it might be a comfortable chair. l seated myself in obedience to his gesturing hand - Lee Chow has a way with him that compels acqui- essence with his wishes - and he took up a position in front of me. folded his hands into his sleeves and began to talk slowly monoton- ously, almost as if he were inton- ing a ritual

 CHAPTER XXIII
The Forces of Evil

It had been a stiff climb upward, and Joe Macarthur halted his horse at the mouth of the crevice which cut the mountainside.
 A man appeared as if by magic from among the rocks and now, leaning upon a long rife, was roll ing a cigaret. Apparently he was quite unaware of Macarthur's presence.
 He was a singular figure. He wore silk shirt whose hue was a vio- lent blue, with lower sleeves which had been scuffed away to rags.
 He was very fat little man, He had pushed his sombrero onto the back of his head, bringing out from shadow a pug nosed, round checked, good-humored face which was powerfully reminiscent of prize Poland China pig. To show his non- chalance, or else to call attention 10 the silver quality of his whistle, he was trilling out sentimental balad with all the quavers and sharp runs of a professional musi- clan.
 By God!" cried Macarthur. "It's good old Fatty himself"
 The other removed his hat and bowed so that a wrinkle formed heavily across his waist
 How are things, Joe?" he asked. T ain't seen you this long time."
 Who's the leader, now that Haines is bumped off" asked Mac arthur.
 T dunno What you mean" said Fatty.
 Come clean. Fatty. Tell me the straight of 1t I'm back here to join the gang. I don't want to do no rushing. But claim that my place is back with the gang. It was Haines that threw me out, not the rest of you; and I've got plant laid, Fatty, that'll give us all enough to retire on. The Wickson Bank, Fatty"
 The little round eyes of Fatty shone as greed took hold upon him. The Wickson Valley rolled before his eyes. beautiful little Wickson Valley, green and filled with grow ing things from the network of ir- rigating canals which trenched its fiat bottom lands.
 The Wickson Bank, Of course, they had thought of that before, but the thought of retreat through SO thickly populated a region was not encouraging. However, if Joe Macarthur had really been able to arrange a plant" that was quite another matter.
 It'll be the last job you'll ever have to do Fatty" Macarthur con- tinued cooly. He had touched Fatty at another sensitive point. For al flesh grew upon him, a pound a month, Fatty had realized long since that he must not hope to con. tinue a rowing life forever.
 An, how his tender flesh ached at the thought of soft feather beds and a wide armed easy chair, Hi' dream was still misty in his eyes as he looked up into the face ot | Macarthur again.
 Come on in. Joe. All you got tc do is to make the boys feel pretty sure that you mean what you say and that you ain't trying to double cross 'em for a reward"
 Double cross? Listen, Fatty, what sort of a life do l figure to fit into except one with a gang of boys like you and the rest?"
