Raggedy Andy said ."The chocolate from the chocolate mud puddle; (and you know the candy puppy dog rolled in 1t and got all cover ed;) is very very bitter" Raggedy Andy shook his head from side to side. T am sure you would not like it at all, Mrs. Grumpy"
 silly the little old woman shouted. Didn't I see you and Rag gedy Ann eating the piece of candy tail the puppy dog gave you? You wouldn't cat 1t if it wasn't good. Would you?"
 "Oh, But we scraped the bitter chocolate off of the peanut brittle candy puppy dogs tail." Raggcdy Andy said.
 And I shall take him home and turn the hose on him and wash off all the bitter chocolate." Mrs. Grump cried as she started after the puppy dog. Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy followed her, for they felt sorry for the candy puppy dog and did not wish Mrs. Grumpy to catch and eat him.
 When the little old woman came to the candy puppy dog she found him leaning against a tree and the candy puppy dog looked very sad.
 And, as Raggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy came up, the little old woman caught hold of the candy dogs tail and started to pull him home, but the candy tail broke off.
 Now sec what you have done, Mrs. Grumpy" Raggedy Ann Cried.
 Anyway! shall just eat the candy dogs tail right now" and she took a bite.
 "Ooh!" she cried as she threw the rest of the candy tail to the ground and made a face. '"The candy doesn't taste a bit nice! What have you been doing, candy puppy dog!" Raggedy Ann asked.
 "I have been eating a lot Of onionsi" the candy dog replied But I spect l ate too many"
 But Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy laughed and said, You did just right, candy puppy dog, foI now you are favored with onions and no one will ever wish to eat you:"
 So the puppy dog kicked up hii heels with joy and went scamperint away through the woods and ht didn't mind a bit because he hat 1 lost all of his candy tail.

 feeling of panic l realized that her physical strength was failing to re- spond to the goading spur of even her iron will. But even us she spoke the curious reaction which l had noticed before came over the face of the poor victim of amnesia. The grip of her hands relaxed and she sank back in her seat. murmur- Ing monotonously, My head aches, my head aches"
 "Yes, l know" Lillian said sooth- ingly, and her voice was as placid as if there had been no interrup- ton to our journey. "Just put your head down in my arms here and I'll rub it.

 Madge Takes Her Cue
 l turned my head away swiftly, for l caught her cue as she had meant me to do. She did not wish to risk the girls opening her eyes and seeing my face. But I had seen enough to realize how cunning was her strategy. With the girl in half recumbent position In Lillian's arms, covered closely with tho restrain ing folds of an auto robe, there could be no recurrence of the ter rifying experience through which we had just gone.
 It seemed an eternity since I had heard that raucous, apparently meaningless cry. What have you done with him 2" and had felt that maniacal grip upon my arms, but I knew that in reality but few min utes had passed. I settled myself be- hind the steering wheel and waited for Lillian's next direction, not dar- ing even to speak to Junior, for fear of the possible effect of my voice upon the girl.
 l had not long to wait. Lillian murmured something to Marion and the young girl called softly:
 Junior, dear. You may go back to Mama now. Climb up on the seat beside her and sit very still. Don't talk"
 Her voice broke off suddenly into a gasping little cry of astonishrnent The next instant small sedan, curi- ously enough the only car we had seen during our brief little taste Of melodrama, rolled slowly past us, in- creasing it's speed as soon as 1t had left us behind. But I saw nothing about it which could have caused Marion's ejaculation.

"Aha' There you sit, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. eating the last of the candy puppy dog!" q little old woman cried, as she came hopping out of the bushes and ran up to the Raggedys waving her crooked stick as she came.
 You wouldn't let me eat the candy puppy dog when I wanted to, and it was just because you were stingy, that's what! You want cd 1t all for yourself"
 Why. The idea" Raggedy Ann exclaimed, We have not eaten the candy puppy dog Mrs. Grumpy"
 Aha! You sit there and try to fool me, but I can see the choco- late candy all around Raggedy Andy's mouth."
 Then Raggedy Ann told the little Mrs. Grumpy, When Raggedy Andy took you home awhile ago when you wished to eat the candy puppy dog, the candy puppy dog was so grateful to us. he wanted us 10 break of a piece of his candy tail to eat, He said his candy tail

 An hour before dawn Twining reported rocky coast, apparently of volcanic formation. with sharp rocks rising from deep water right up to the shore, Adams found that the ship lay pinned on one solitary head of rock. with deep water all around to seaward., An anchor was laid out, with long hawser, and led in over the ships stern, through leading blocks to the anchor wind lass. Every man able to push on a handspike was mustered. If there was power enough, and the tide came high enough, the ship would

aft as chips are drawn by strong current.
 T have no boat for that purpose. Miss Manning chooses to take boat and go ashore without my per- mission. She may stay until she Is tired, then come back as she went," said Drake; and without giving the matter further apparent notice called away crew and rowed around the ship to see for himself the daylight position.
 The two mates got their coffee at the galley; and pretty poor 1t was. It started them off on their days work in less than their customary good temper. When Drake returned from his inspection, grumbling crew and irritable officers awaited his word.
 "Take one watch to the windlass, and keep a strain on the hawser," he said. "The tide is rising, and the ship only hangs by an isolated boul- der on the round of her bilge. If the sea rose little she would slip off. Take the other watch, and heave up all the chain from the locker. Bring it all aft along with the spare an- chors. I think she will slip off under strain at high water"
 Twining and Adams drove their gangs to work, and the clinking mon- otony of the captstan pawls began to stab the still air. Stevens paced back and forth in the waist, his blond face red with shame, the glitter of cold fury in his blue eyes. Drake paced the poop coIdIy aloof. He watched the sweating sailors drag up great lengths of red dusted cable and flest them along the maindeck on plank skids. Heavy spare anchors were swung down from the forecastle head. They all came aft. And Drake keenly calculated the place for the weight to be placed in order that so small a difference might make for the most advantage. At the top of the tide, in an hour Or so, very little alteration in weight might de- eide whether Orontes returned to her natural element again, or remained fettered to the shore until spring tides.

Why Does Madge Affect Lillian's
 Protcge So Strangely?

"Marion!"
 Lillian's voice sounded in crisp command, the Instant that her young daughters hands were free to leave the wheel of our car. ..-~ "Yes, Mother"
 "Where is Junior? can't sec him."
 Down between my knees, l pushed him there and told him not to move when I grabbed the wheel"
 My small lad punctuated her an- swer with a frightened, whimpering cry of Mama" Things had hap pened too swiftly for him to realize my plight. but the sight Of my arms held tightly by the strange girl was too much for his baby soul.
 I'm all" I began reassuring- ly, but Lillian sumraariily stopped me.
 "Hush." Says Lillian
 Hush" she said peremptorlly, and I realized that she feared the possible effect of my voice upon the girl with whom she was strug- gling.
 Take Junior out Of the car, Mar ion, and make him sit down on the running board close to your door. not this one. Tell him he mustn't move, if he wants to help his moth CT"
 My child was screaming with ter TOT for me by this time, and I do not think anyone, save Marion. could have quieted him, But she is the young goddess of his baby adoration, and 1t seemed but a few seconds before he was quietly perched upon the running board and Marion was back in the car listening attentively to her mothers further directions.
 "Kneel down on the seat, Marion and take hold of the hand nearest to you. Grip 1t tightly with both hands. Then, when I've shifted my hold to the other hand and give you the word, pull with all your might. Madge, the second you feel this grip relax, get free and helr Marion"
 Her daughter obeyed her. Pres. antiy I heard Lilian's NOW" and felt the claw1ng grip upon my armt relaxing. Tensing my own muscles tore myself free, and turning swiftly, siezed the hand which Mar ion was holding.

slide off the way she slid on, and the damage would scarcely be worth noting in the log. But the tide had fallen considerably since the stranding, and all the com bihed strength of the crew could accomplish was to get a terrific strain on the hawser and satisfy Drake that the anchor had taken firm hold,
 The waters Tapped softly around the impaled ship. The air was soft and cool. Morning was not far away. The east already had a pearly gray gleam stealing up across the velvet black of night. Drake sat in the chart room, restless, yet know ing the need of rest. He had opened the log book to enter up the strand ing. But after awhile he threw down his pen without making the entry, and lay down to strive for a long time fruitlessly to drive Mary Manning and Jake Stevens from his mind, and to. In the end, fall into a troubled doze. which gave little of rest.
 And while the gray curtain stole over the east, Mary sat hunched up on her unopened bed. AS the light frightened, she heard Ike moving in his pantry, getting toast and coffee ready for another days beginning. She could see the dark loom of the land grow clear cut. From her port hole the coast of sizable island ran away into distance; 1t looked barren enough, but there were lit- tie stretches of beach, and here and there some wood. It was the first time she had seen a tree since leav- ing Table Bay. The colors were mostly gray and slate at that hour; but never had stunted and gnarlsd verdure seemed to her so much like the gardens of Paradise.
 She surprised Ike by suddenly appearing In his pantry.

She thanked him witt a smile that set his scalp tingiing.

 'T'd git knocked overheard, too if you wanted me to, Miss" stut tered Ike with a rush. She stared a the little man, wide eyed: thel laughed softly, and spoke into hi eager ear.

Letter from Karl Whitney to Mrs.
 Joseph Graves Hamilton

Dear Mother: For long time I have been waiting to write you this letter. I could not write 1t while Leslie's health was precarious. It would seem too selfish.
 Now that her new boy has made his appearance in the household and she is regaining her health, I want to ask you mother mine, If you will not come over here and travel with me for while. You know, dear, that you are the only mother I have ever known. You know that ever since was a little boy I have come. to you for sym pathy and comfort and I have al- ways gotten it.
 Now that I am completely alone and Leslie has her husband and two children to fill her life, don't you think that you can devote a little time to me?
 I need you, need you perhaps more than you realize, dearmother. You know I am queer, solitary sort of a man. don't make friends easily and yet no one would like friends more than I. confess I am selfish enough to hope that you with your sweetness and under standing, will make friends for me.
 AS it is. I wander about these Old World cities and wonder what I am living for anyway. l only see the sadness and the futility that Is always present in the gay est crowds which l sometimes fre- quent in the hotels and restaurants.

Many mothers foolisl1ly begin giving the baby sips of coffee while the baby is quite young.
 And in thousands of families chill dren take their one and two cups of coffee regularly just like their parents.
 This is all wrong, Mrs. Mann learned.
 Children should never be given tea or coffee, not even to flavor milk, They will more often like the milk if they have not been taught >the combination of milk and coffee.
