gedys had only to go a short dis tance when they came to & lovely soda water fountain bubbling up from large stone and tinkling from there in a tiny falls to other stones below.
 Whoever had made the soda wa terswith their Snagic had also made a number of little silver cups with which to catch the soda water. So the Raggedys sat down beside the bubbling soda water spring and en- ioyed the ice cold sodas.
 It Is very pleasant to come across one of the magical soda water foun- tains after running long way.
 And while the two rag dolls sat there drinking the soda water, they heard Toofie as he came through the woods towards them. I'm hunt ing Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy! I'm hunting Raggedy Ann and Ragedy Andy! And when I find them, will puff my maic pow der upon them and change them into mushroomsI"
New Britain herald., 1925-04-08

Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy were just about to hide when a tired looking man walked up to them. Please may have a drink of the soda water?" he asked very politely. I'm a carpenter and I'm very, very tired"
 Raggedy Andy hastened to give the tired carpenter silver cup full of the sparkling soda water and it made the carpenter feeI' very much better.
 Thank you so much" the nice carpenter sadi.- T was so thirsty" So Raggedy Andy gave him six more cups filled with the soda wa ter.
 And just as he had finished drink. ing the soda water Toofe. the queer little man came up shouting, T am looking for Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy! I am looking for Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy"
 He is trying to capture us" Raggedy Ann whispered to the tired carpenter.
 You do not need to hide" Toofie howled. T See you behind that man."
 q shall not let you harm these two nice rag dolls." the tired car penter told Toofie. "They just gave me lot of sodas and l shall help them"
 Who are you?" Toohe asked.
 T am the tired carpenter" the carpenter replied as he took a ham, mer and some nails out of his tool box. Then I shall let the Raggedys so and capture you." Toofie howled. For l need a nice house and you can build it for me!'
 "All right" the carpenter agreed. But first, I must find out what kind of 8 house you wish. So that l can get 1t the right size. Just stand here while I measure you."
 So Toof1e stood upon a log and before he knew what had happened the tired carpenter nailed both of Toofie's shoes 10 the log. "Now!" he said as he gave Toofle a thump, whenever you wish anyone to do something for you, ask them in a nice manner. For, no one cares to do nice things for anyone unless the other is pleasant and nioe!"
 So he lifted Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy to his shoulders and picking up his tool box, walked away through the woods
 T will show you where there is the incest patch of chocolate cream candies in the whole wide woodsl" the carpenter said.
 And in a few minutes, he lifted the Raegedys from his shoulders and there they were, right in the center of the large patch of choeo- late cream candies, all growing on short stems and wrapped in tin foil to keep them nice and clean

The Surprising Command Which Dr.
 Petit Gave to Lillian.

found Lillian sleeping 60 sound iy that l hated 10 awaken her. Even my untrained eyes saw, how ever. that 1t was the slumber of exhaustion rather than natural sleep, and I knew that 1t was neces- sary for pr. Petit to investigate her condition as soon as possible, Therefore. I tiptoed back to the door and bcckoncd him to enter Eesturing toward Lillian as l did so.
 It Is always a marvel 10 me to Sec the transformation in Herbert Petit when he approaches a pa tient. I have noticed 1t and conl- mented upon 1t many times, but 1t never fails 10 intrigue me, He Is like a man transformed. All the mask. Of stiffness, reserve and stressed dignity fall away from him and reveal q tense. efficient and tender man Of healing.
 At my gesture, he advanced noiselessly toward the bed, There he stood for what seemed 10 me an eternity of minutes. gazing down at Lillians palld face, and listening to her breathing, l had taken a posi- ton on the other side of the bed, but he suddenly looked over at me, and indicated by imperative ges- lures that ] was 10 come close 10 him, and kneel by I4illian's side, so that when she opened her eyes, her first glance would fall upon my face. When he had done so, he bent over and put his trained fingers upon my friends wrist. But neither of us need to have feared 10 awaken her. She did not move so much as facial muscle, and when he had finished he spoke softly but impera- lively:
 Awaken her." he said.
 When RaIllery Helped
 There was an iudefnable son1e- thing in his voice, which rang a tiny bell of alarm in my soul, but I wasted no time in Investigating il. With lips that I could not keep from trembling, l kissed Lillians cheek, and spoke tenderly but with A note of the raillery, which Is the conversational coin used between us.
 Come! old dear! You'll never be able to get any salary out of the Seven Sleepes, They probably would be too jealous of you.'
 Her eyelids lifted themelves lan- guidly as if even that slight move ment were an effort for her. and her answer held no raillery, only fatigue.

 Her eyes were closing as she spoke, Dr. Petit touched my shoul- der imperatively, and I spoke again, more sharply.
 But 1t is important pr. Petit Is here, and you must talk to him"
 l expected an indignant objection, for she had expressly stated her views upon medical attendance for herself only a few minutes before. But there was very little mora energy in her manner, when she opened her eyes the second timc. and fixed them upon Dr. Pettit's face,
 Al right, Doctor" she said lan- guidly, but with the testing note which will invest Lillian's conversa- ton to her last breath. ''Is there any particular subject you'd like to hear me discourse on?
 "Yes, a most interesting one" Dr. Petit replied promptly. No one, looking at his keen. smiling face, would have recognized him as a dour man who had objected to taking her as an unwilling patient. T want to hear you talk about yourself for an hour or two---if you're very good and voluble--perhaps I'll let you off in less time"
 She gave him a faint impish grin.
 Threat or promise?" she asked. You know that's the most fascinat- ing topic you can give me. What do you want me to begin on? My fatal beauty or my lovely disposi.ion?"
 I noticed that the tiny muscles at the corners of her mouth md eyes were twitching with something other than amusement, and was relieved when Dr. Petit, closely watching her, put his hand with tender au- thority upon her wrist.
 'I'n tell you later" he said. "For the present, just answer few ques- tions, truthfully, now mind"
 His tone was imperatively profess sional, now, and Lillian looked at him, faintly, frowning.
 "All right" she said agan. but" she glanced at me-"1'm not going to answer any of your questions with anyone else present."
 I started from my kneellng posi- tton instantly, but Dr. Pettits quick, powerful hand shot out and gently but firmly pushed me back into 1t again.
 Stay right where you are" he said. He then turned back to Lillian.
 "Oh! yes you are" he said calmly. "I want Mrs. Graham to hear exact ly the condition you are in, and then she will be able to carry out my di- rections explicitly.

Rare Treat Tonight
At Penney Memorial
Organ Recital

rms evening at eight o'clock the
people Of Augusta will have the first
opportunity in many years to hear
one OF Americas great organists play
in their home city. The installation
of the splendid new organ in the
Penney Memorial United Baptist
church has made 1t possible to Sc
cure Charles r. Cronham, Portlands
famous municipal organist, to give
one of his popular organ recitals
mere such as have thrilled and de-
lighted capacity audiences every
week this past winter in Portland 8
large city hall.
The singing of Miss Elizabeth Noble
will add variety and pleasure to the
evenings program. A more popular
selection for assisting artist could
not have been made than this local
soprano.
DIR. Cronham who arrived in Au-
gusta yesterday morning so as to
thoroughly familiarize himself with
the new organ expressed admiration
for the instrument which represents
the very last word in modern organ
construction. The privileged few
who yesterday heard this talented
artist at the keyboard of the new
organ were charmed and electrified
Will his Pldy2uS, anu 90 not hesitate
to assure the music loving people Of
Central Maine that rare treat IL in
store for all who attend the concert
this evening.
In addition to unusual skill as a
player. one of the secrets of Mr..
Cronham's phenomenal success is
his happy faculty Of building pro-
grams which please every class Of
people. His numbers are delightful
ly musical but not over the heads Of
any of his audiences. and are thor
oughly understood and enjoyed.
Mr.. Cronham is not brought to Au-
gusta by the music committee Of the
church as a money making PROPOSE
ton, but solely to give to the people
an evening of rare delight. The
small admission of fifty cents to be
charged is to help pay the expense
of securing the services of this fam
Gus artist. Undoubtedly he will be
greeted by a large and enthusiastic
audience as anyone would be MAX
ing a mistake to miss so great q
musical treat.
