Letter from Sally Atherton to Leslie
 Prescott, Continued

T am sure, Leslie dear, that know you well enough that you won't be annoyed at me for writing vou like this. You have always known that I could not take any man seriously for long, not even your husband, and I think perhaps that that was the reason why Sam and I were not happy. A man gets very peevish when you don't take him seriously. If he thinks you see through his little subterfuges he feels greatly hurt instead Of proud that he is married to a clever woman.
 So it's a boy. Good for you, dear. T was hoping all along that 1t would be a boy. A mother has so much more to worry about with girls and whatever he might say Himself" is immensely proud of you and the baby. Says they don't make them any better than the both of you.
 I think, perhaps, dear, I am more envious of you than I am of the vamp person. Indeed, tonight as l am writing to you it seems to me that I am neither one nor the other T seem 10 be one of those females sthat, like Mohammet's coffin, is forever suspended between heaven and earth. Once in a while l dror
 down with a thud, but l never have yet succeeded in bobbing quite back
 10 that heaven which the vampisf
 ladies sometimes attain and which you, dear, should always have, fol you deserve it.
 hope you will be coming home

stand and wait. but I'll do my best, What can l do to help you now"
 I had not counted on her aid at all, nor did l need It, but l invented a pretext at once, for knew how idloness irkod her.
 If you'll just help me dress Junior" l said, Katie will have our breakfasts ready in few min utes. l hate to awaken him. but l must"
 expected protesting declara- ton that the child would be better off with her, and demand that leave him behind. but instead she gave a prompt acquiescence that puzzled me.
 "Yes, it will be far better for you to take him." she said, ,"and he'll awaken very easily. if you tell him he is going with you In the car"
 answered her smile, for Junior is like a spoiled puppy in his de- sire always to be in the car when it is in motion. As l bent over the bed, which he had shared with his grandmother, she revealed the req son for her willingness to let him go.
 "He Will Be Safe!
 "He will be safer with you, out there on the farm" she said. T cannot watch him all the time here, and he is likely to stray into the woodland back of the house. And there's no telling what Steve might take it into his head to do. He was always interruptions, even when a boy"
 I felt actually i'll at the admis- sion of the blackmaiing tramp's identity which her tone and words unconsciously conveyed. It crumped my own theory, that the man was a clever impostor. It made me shud- der at the trouble and disgrace which I saw looming ahead for us if her conviction were based upor fact. paid little attention, how, ever, to her dread of the mans talk ing Junior as a hostage. nau op' served him carefully, and l knew that he was too clever a rogue tc take the risk which Kidnapping would involve.
 But the remembrance of an awful day when Grace Draper, far more clever and desperate than the mys terious tramp, had taken that risl clutched at my heart. It was witl hands that trembled that lifted my small son from his nest amont the bedclothes where he had curlet himself into a tight ball.
 Come Junior" I coaXed, "wak' up. Mother wants you to go for | 7 ride in the car"

above the worst tho gale or squalls could do. f,~
 A binding flash of lightning It every inch of the ships laboring structure. High upon the upper main -topsail yard six shapeless yel- low oilskinned sailors fought pro- fanely with the tormented sail. The rain slashed down at them. 4
 Haul that reef taykle taut!" screamed voice. Its all adrift!"
 There was momentary black ness after the lightning flash; then a second flash so swift as to almost blind the eyes. But Mary saw yellow figure hurtle down out Of that uppermost chaos, a scream still on his lips, his poor groping fingers catching at the black void. The ropeyarns that were only meant to hold his oilskin trousers and jack ct together to keep the water from wetting him more than neces- sary, were unequal to holding his weight. He. fell and plunged into the sea.
 Man overboard!' she screamed. She ran to the nearest lifebuoy, cast it loose, and flung 1t astern. finding Drake at her side surpris- ingly. He had seen the man fall. He was man enough to risk his ship by bringing her around to the sea. But in that instant the gale struck down with all its belated fury, and the big clipper lay over until her rails were buried deep un- der laundering tons of water that swept away forever all chance for the unlucky sailor astern.
 Better go below, Mary!" Drake bawled in her ear. He ran aft to help the helmsman; but she did not go. She gripped the rail and gazed enthused at the grandeur of the storm.
 Men struggled aft to haul the
 mainyards square.
 They hauled sullenly, but haul they must. As they trooped on to
 the poop to pass storm gaskets around the spanker and gafftopsail, they muttered about the man who
 was gone.

Raggedy Andy at all, for he was just made of cloth and stuffed with cotton.
 Then, Raggedy Andy pushed Miggsy the magic maker and the first thing he knew, old Miggsy was close to the bank of the brook. Then, with another push, Raggedy Andy sent him tumbling backward into the water where Miggsy kicked and splashed about.
 Just you wait, Raggedy Andy" Miggsy shouted. I'll catch you alone sometime, then you'd better watch out!" But Raggedy Andy did not stay to listen. He ran In the direction Raggedy Ann had run and in a few moments he found her waiting beside the magical hob. by horse. Then they had a good laugh at the way they had fooled old Miggsy the magic maker.

"I'd just like to know where you found this nice strawberry pie, Rag gedy Ann" kind old Grampa Bear said as he sat in the moss at the side of the tumbling ripping brook with Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy on either side of him.
 We got the pies back in the woods a short way" Raggedy Ann replied, But when old Miggsy the magic maker came and tried to capture me, we grabbed up three pies and ran here. We were eating the pies when we heard you in the bushes and Raggedy Andy went to help you unfasten your foot where | it was caught under the log!
 And Raggedy Andy unfastened me just in time for me to give old Miggsy, the magic maker a great cuff upon his ear and rescue you, Raggedy Ann!" Grampa Bear laughingly replied. Well! I have finished eating the strawberry pie, now spect I must be running along home. Gran'ma Bear will wonder where in the world have been so long,"
 So Raggedy Ann washed the strawberry stain from Grampa Bears mouth, for Grampa Bear was just like a lot of little boys, who, when they eat anything. get more on their faces than they do in their mouths.
 If you pass our house, you must stop in and see us," Grampa Bear said as he started to go and held out his hand to Raggedy Andy.
 Thank you, Grampa Bear" Raggedy Andy said, We will be sure to stop in and See you and Gramma Bear if We come your way!" And he shook hands with Grampa Bear. Then Grampa Bear gave Raggedy Ann a hug and walk cd way through the bushes.
 "Aha!" voice laughed as soon as Grampa Bear had gone. This is the chance have been waiting for" And out sprang old Miggsy, the magic maker
 Raggedy Andy did not have a large pie to throw at Miggsy this time, so all he could do was to jump between Miggsy and RaggedS Ann.
 Now you had better get out ot the way!" Mggsy howled in a lout voice. q do not care 10 captur, you! It is Raggedy Ann whom
 wish to capture, so that I may havt her candy heart!"
 But Raggedy Andy was no afraid even one sp"ck. And I shal not let you oaSture Raggedy Ann

FABLES ON {
ON HEALTH - CUT OUT THE WORRY

Some people may be thin because they are too active. One of Mrs. Mann's neighbors was like that.
 He worked in an office, and though the position he held was not the most important in the organiza- tion, he felt that it was, at least, and worked under too great a ten sion.
 For this kind of people there is no chance of gaining weight through diet unless they can arrange to rest more or work less, or dispense with the feeling that the weight of the universe rests upon their shoul- ders.

Nervous indigestion often results in cases like this. Then the stom- ach cannot digest food, and the more one eats the worse the con- dition becomes.
 In such a case 1t is better to rest frequently and to eat very simple foods, and only as much as can be digested of milk, vegetables. bread, cereals, eggs and fruit.
 If milk is the only thing that can be taken without distress, then milk should be the only food, but in such cases a physician should probably be consulted.

. Girls! Try this! When combing and dressing your hair, just moisten your hair-brush with a little "Dan- derine" and brush it through your hair. The effect is startling! You can do your hair up immediately and it will appear twice as thick and heavy-a mass of gleamy hair. sparkling with life and possessing that incompatible softness, fresh ness and luxuriance.
 While beautifying the hair Dan derine" is also toning and stimulat- ing each single hair to grow thick. long and strong. Hair stops falling out and dandruff disappears. Get q bottle of "Danderine" at any drug or toilet counter and just see how healthy and youthful your hair ap- pears after this delightful. refresh ing dressing.

even If do not have a pie to throw at you." then to Raggedy Andy shouted, Run Raggedy Ann! Run!" And Raggedy Ann ran.
 When Raggedy Ann ran away this made old Miggsy the magic maker very angry and he tried to push Raggedy Andy out of his way, so that he could run after Raggedy Ann, but Raggedy Andy caught Miggsy's coat sleeve and held on tight. When Miggsy saw that Rag gedy Andy was keeping him from chasing Raggedy Andy, he gave Raggedy Andy hard thump on top of his head, but this did not hurt

The Lure Which Madge Dangles Before Mother Graham.

I had brought the right tonic to my mother-in-law. l saw that, as her dulled eyes brightened and the lines of pain in her face became less clearly etched. Stronger than most things in Mother Graham's mental makeup is her love of the melodramatic, She Is as happy as a child with a cherished toy when Lillian invents pretexts for her aid in minor details of the problems which my friends work in the diplomatic secret service entails.
 Margaret" she exclaimed. DO you mean that Mrs. Underwood has come with you so early? There must be something very important on foot. Of course I shall be so glad to help. It's lucky l awoke so early and am all dressed,
 I hated to dampen her enthus- iasm, for she looked ready to foil the villain or seize the papers, as occasion might demand. l tried to make amends by investing my tale of Lillian's waif with as much TO- nance as l could manage, and was rewarded by the shining eyes, and glowing face of my mother-ln-law when I had finished.
 Mother Graham's Interest
 Twenty years appeared to have dropped from her as she asked question after question. When l had given her every scrap of informa ton I possessed, together with some theories which I was glad Lillian was not there to hear, she clasped her hands together like a romantic school girl and exclaimed earnest ly:
 T never heard anything so inter- esting. Now, look here, Margaret I'm perfectly able to go home tc the farm. l can sit with you ano hold Richard Second on my lap" "Please, mother" I put my hanc upon her shoulder. You know how I'd love to have you come out witt us, but suppose the trip made vol i'll again. You would hamper Lillian instead of helping her, as you cal in a day or two. I'll come after yo' the first minute I can get away, promise you that"
 For an instant the old imperiou 2 dominant look flashed into her eyes land I feared that she was going t sinsist upon making the journe .with me. But it died as quickly a it had been born, and she answere squietly enough.
