When the magical hobby horse had carried Raggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy lickity split through the woods for five minutes he stopped.
 And the Raggedys were glad that he stopped too, for there was very nice pie field. Mince pies, chocolate cream pies, lemon meringue pies and every kind of pies you might think of.
 The Raggedys had escaped from old Migsy, the Magic Maker when he tried to capture them at the hot weenie bush.
 The Raggedys had both pushed a hot weenie sandwich in old Mig gsy's large mouth and while he was at the brook cooling off. they had escaped upon the back of the hobby horse.
 Now then, if old Miggsy will just run home and not bother us again, We will have a nice time." Raggedy Ann said, For we can eat all the lovely pies we wish and there will | be no one to distlrb us.
 1 So Raggedy Andy picked six lemon meringue pies, great big ones and gave one to Raggedy Ann and one to the magical hobby horse; the others he placed upon the nice soft grass so they would be handy when they wished them.
 Raggedy Ann had just said My! The pies are the incest I have ever eaten." when who should come bouncing out of the bushes but old Miggsy the magic maker and he held one hand in front of his mouth.
 T shall hold one hand over my mouth so you will not stuff a hot weenie sandwich in there and burn me again." he cried. Then seeing that the Raggedys were not eating hot weenie sandwiches and that there was no danger of getting his mouth burned, old Miggsy gave a whoop and cried, Now I shall surely capture you both and soon have Raggedy Ann's candy heart for magic charm" And he dashed towards them, so excitedly. he did not see the three lemon pies Rag gedy Andy had placed upon the grass.
 And. as soon as old Miggsy's foot touched the first lemon pie, his feet flew up in the air and he turned a somersault, coming down with his face right in the second lemon pie.
 Then when the lemon meringuc got in his eye and all over bis face, Miggsy tried to stand up and stepped right Into the third lemon pie and slipped again. By this time the Raggedys had plenty of time tc get out of his way and Raggedy Ann had run and hid behind a tree

preparation for him ever since the first sheep was killed on the out ward passage. It was soft and white, but the fleece was still tan | gled in places. A comb was trimmed | by cutting out teeth, and thereafter, for many watches, Jake Stevens might be seen painstakingly work ing over the sheepskin until it was ! as free from tangle as a babes head. soft as silk, and beautiful to behold.
 Then one afternoon when Drake was in the thart-room, and Mary l sat at the saloon table writing in i her diary, Jake emerged softly from his cabin, bearing the gift he had wrought for her.
 For mel" she exclaimed in frank surprise, running her fingers luxuriously through the silky fleece. She glanced up at him, lowered her gaze and the soft color stole over her face.
 Its beautiful" she said softly. T ought not to let you give it to me-" She picked up the lissom pelt and buried her face in 1t.
 T can't make you take it." he re- turned, grueqy. "'Twouldn't do any harm, though. Was a time when you were friendly, Mary" !, She did not see his face. She an- swered him out of the woolly depths: "Of course I'll accept it, Jake. I'm more than grateful. And please don't speak that way about being friendly. Of course we're friends. You're one of the oldest friends have"
 Jake stood his watch that eve- ming with a warmer thrill in his breast, and brighter gleam in his eyes.
 CHAPTER XVII
 By some of those mysterious chan nels that always seem open to gos- sip, Drake heard that Mary had re- mained on deck until midnight with the mate. He mildly reproved her. His voice was so low and kindly that she warmed towards him, be- lieving that he might yet thaw out. His black eyes gittered as he re- garded her vivid expression: the faint perfume that clung to her al- ways aroused memories In his brain that set his blood to leaping. But through some queer twist in his na- ture Alden Drake held to the re- ligion of duty so rigidly that he could even lay aside love; or at least the outward expression of it, r Drake was less moderate in his reprimand of Stevens. His words stung so that Stevens blazed forth in hot rebellion.
 Captain Drake, you have no fault | to find with my work, hope?" None, MT. Stevens. And none with your conduct, except this: won't have the officef of the watch neglecting his duty for any passen' , ger say nothing now about the , lateness of the hour" fl (To Be Contlnued)

Columbus, s. C., Feb. 17.-The de- velopment of the South Carolina warehouse system has aroused inter- est outside the state, and Is being studied by representatives of other states, according to J. Clifton Rivers state warehouse commissioner. Texas especially, MT. Rivers said, appears likely to start a system patterned after the South Carolina plan. There are approximately 1,200 state ware houses in South Carolina, devoted to the storing of cotton, corn and other commodities. These are held in stor- age until the market price justifies their sale.

lights, the laughter, the music and the gay crowd were wonderful.
 MT. Prescott said that he was glad that there was one person in the family that did not. have to be unhappy, that his place had been like a morgue ever since Mrs. Pres cott's father had died. Now that Mrs. Prescott's second boy was born, he said he hoped she would get back some of her brilliancy and spirit.
 You might not think it, Miss Ellington" he said, but Leslie was one of the gayest girls I ever knew when 1 married her."

 He is a very wonderful man, Elizabeth. I can hardly see how a man who has so much on his mind, as he must have - because on every side I hear what a wonderful exc cutive he is - could be so light hearted and gay.
 AS we wound in and out among the other couples in the rolling chairs on that brilliant lighted boardwalk, I wished - oh, dear friend, I will not tell you what l wished, but I am afraid that it was very wicked wish for me to make.

It was impossible to dis tinguish any of the words, even if l had tried, but when the door had closed again I heard Lillian come to the door of the room where l lay and heard her say softly:

 Her voice was carefully modu- lated, but caught note in it which hastened my movements. In another minute I was in the living -oom. meeting Lillian's grave eyes.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER

Applicants for Insurance Often Re-
 tected.

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very sue cessful In overcoming these condi tions. The mild and healing in. fluence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Roo is soon realized. It stands the high est for its remarkable record Of sue cess.
 An examining physician for one 0. the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, in an interview of, the sub ject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many appli- cants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so com mon to the American people, and the large majority of. those whose appli- , cations are declined do not even sus- pect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, If you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for sample bottle. When writ i ing be sure and mention thie paper.

Letter from Zoe Ellington to Eliza
 beth Swartz, Continued
 One reason, I think, Elizabeth dear, that I feel so near to Mir. Prescott is that he knew my brother very we'll indeed. He tells me that they were very great friends; in fact, he is the only person who ever mentioned him to me, except Mrs. Burke, who. of course, you know does not have any very pleasant memories of Harry.
 MT, Prescott told me the other night of one or two episodes that he had had with Harry which were very funny. and he says that when he has known me longer he will tell me lot about my brother that will make me laugh.
 It took away great deal of the homesickness that I've had, even here where everyone is so good to me. But you know how carefree and happy we were in Switzerland, and I haven't been free from care since.
 To tell the truth, no one about here has laughed much since | came. Madame Prescott has been so i'll, and the death of her sister was 50 tragic, that everyone has looked d as though life was a terrible thing that must be endured.
 don't quite understand 1t, but khere seems to be some constraln-, some misunderstanding between MT Prescott and his wife. While she is as sweet as she can be, yet, what ever it is, I can not think that he is to blame for it. He is 50 kind and 80 full Of thoughttulness for every body.
