friend Ned Gnome. Come in, little Ned Gnome""
 "I haven't time, thank you Cram ma Bear" little Ned Gnome re- piled. "I just ran over to tell you that I heard Miggsy and Muggsy planning 10 come down the chimney and capture Raggedy Ann when you were all asleep tonight. So l wanted to tell you so you can fool them,'
 Thank you, little Ned Gnome!" Gramma Bear sad as she handed | little Ned Gnome six honey cookies. the kind she had just made and covered with lovely candy icing. We will watch for them."
 Little Ned Gnome thanked Cram ma Bear for the lovely cookies and then ran down the path and out of sight.
 i After Gramma Bear had tucked Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy in their little beds she and Grampa Bear went to the window after turn- ing out all the lights. The moon

was shining brightly and they could see very we'll Presently the two Bears saw Miggsy and Muggsy coming with ladder and the Bears chuckled to themselves as they watched.
 When Miggsy reached the side of the house, he said to his brother Muggsy, Why. We didn't need to carry q ladder all this distance, see there are two ropes hanging down from the roof. We can each climb up rope and in a few minutes slide down the chimney just like Santa Claus and capture Raggedy Ann"
 So Miggsy and Muggsy each caught hold of rope and started to climb, but they had only to pull on the two ropes when something black and sticky struck them on top of their heads and ran all over their faces and down over their clothes.
 Club! Blub. Bubble Glub,' the two cried as they wiped their eyes with their kunckles to get the stuff from their faces And not even wait ing to pick up their ladder, the two blackened magic makers ran for home. Then, as Gramma and Grampa Bear slipped quietly in bed so as not to disturb the Raggedys, Gramma Bear chuckled, Ut was a good thing you thought of tying the buckets of sticky tar to those ropes Grampa Bear"
 And both Gramma and Grampa Bear had to hold their hands over >1ieir mouths to keep from laughing so hard they felt sure the Raggedyt might awaken.

palid than I remembered. Recall ing her former excitement upon see- ing me, stepped back of her when took hold of her arm, so that she could not see my face.
 Fear that the girl might fall had made me thus support her even be- fore l loosened my hold on Juniors hand. When my fingers unclasped him, as Marion in obedience to her mothers suggestion, took charge of him. he looked up at me wonder ingly,
 But, Mamma he protested, T fought you said I mustn't talk to Marion"
 Junior Is Puzzled
 His puzzled little face showed me clearly how trackless is the mental jungle into which chidren's minds are often turned by the confusing directions of 'grown-ups."
 No, dear" I answered. T only said you mustn't jump at her and that you mustn't ask questions, You may talk to Marion all you wish. Run along ahead of us now with her. See if you can show her where the car is.
 The last sentence was distinct inspiration With the pride of his office vibrant in every motion. my small son pulled at Marion's arm.
 Its right down here, Marion" he said importantly. Don't be afraid. won't let you get lost"
 Marion choked back a laugh and permitted herself to be pulled for ward at d tremendous rate. Lillian and l, owing to the suitcases and the care of the girl walking be- tween us, made much slower progress. The girls weight appeared to increase as we walked along and half way down the platform Lillian sent d ringing summons back | for Marion. The children came run ming back and Lillian set down hei suitcases with a sign to mo to fol low her example.
 You and Junior stay here witt the suitcases, Marion" she said Let us hurry as fast as possible Relieved of the weight of the suit cases, We were enabled to bear the girl between us along the platform and down the stairs to the place where I had parked the car. AS opened the tonneau door with my free hand the girl suddenly started looked at the car, drew back as Ii frightened, and spoke in puzzled accents.
 But this isn't his car" she said

UNCOOKED VEGETABLES

Putting soda in the water to help soften cabbage, string beans or other vegetables in cooking is bad prac- tice, Mrs. Mann learned.
 One of the most valuable food ele- ments in vegetables is vitamins, and these vitamins are more readily de- stroyed in an alkaline medium, such as is produced by coda.
 Cooking destroys so much of the best in many foods that it is well to eat some uncooked food every day.
 In addition to green leaf vege- tables, such as lettuce, young car- rots may be grated and served with dressing as salad.

Jake mumbled an apology and let his hand pass gently to her hair. He fondled 1t clumsily, yet with . restraint which persuaded Mary he was making his supreme attempt to conquer his brute uncouthness. She grew hot. Something was imminent. She was almost too alarmed to stay and hear. But that old reawakened instinct pricked her again. She held her face unafraid toward him, smil- ing. though the darkness hid her smile as it hid his passion.
 Mary, you kissed me-" he said slowly. She gasped involuntarily. You kissed me when you thought I was unconscious. I was, but your kiss dragged me out of the dark ness. I saw you go out of my cabin. knew you came in often while l was sick O that knife cut. You kissed me more than once, Mary. Why?"
 His powerful fingers twined in her hair. He had put the question as if he expected reply. She quiv- cred exquisitely as his grip on her hair strengthened. She knew he was unaware that he hurt her. Yet she could not have told him.
 Why did you kiss me, Nary lake insisted. Now she could have screamed with the pain of her tugged hair; yet she managed to laugh lightly
 II was sorry for you, Jake" she said.
 Did you sec your picture in my cabin?" he demanded, still in the same slow, labored tone.
 "Of course. Please don't tug at my hair so fiercely, Jake. What are you driving at, acting this way"
 Never mind how l act." A note of savagery crept in. You saw that picture. You gave it to me. You wrote on it. kept it all these years Mary. Your father gave you into my care. I have always wanted you Mary. Then that rich dude stepped
 
 in and"
 With a swift sidelong twist she released her hair at the cost Of plucked strand, and scrambled te her feet. The shawl fell from hel shoulders, and again the faint sensuous perfume of her maddenet him. He seized her, preventing hel from tripping over the coils of rop' in which she had sat; and his ho breath was upon her face.
 "Mr. Stevens! Let me go!" sh' panted fercely. You are offensive You forget Captain Drake's orders that"
 ITO hell with Captain Drake orders. To hell with Captain Drake You shall hear me. and you shal answer mel"
 Do you want me to cry out 10 help?" she whispered, pressed har' against his breast, for he was crush ing her to him in blind abandon He had kept his own voice to loN pitch, for all the savagery Of hi words.

This is but one suggestion. A re- sourceful housewife will be able to prepare many dishes from uncooked vegetables.
 Vegetables should be cooked with the skins on as much as possible, and the skins eaten when conve- nient. The skins of baked potatoes are useful in helping to overcome constipation.
 Water in which vegetables are cooked should never be thrown away. IL contains much food ma- terial and health-giving quality. Save it for soups and gravies.

Whose Car Does the Mysterious
 Waif Mean Inv "uisau

The long suburban train came to a whirring stop. but as It was east bound and the time was only nine o'clock in the morning there were but few passengers alightlng at the Forest Hills station. Those, for the most part, were young men and women in sports costumes, carrying tennis racquets, patently bound for the word-famed courts of Forest Hills. It was without any trouble, therefore, that down towards the end Of the platform l was able 10 see a trainman descend from the platform. q suitcase in either hand, and Marion following close behind him. He set the suitcases down and, turning, helped down Lillian's pro- tege, with my friend holding close to the girls other arm. l did not see a bill transferred from Lillian's hand to that Of the trainman, so deft is she in tipping without any outsider discovering the act, but l knew from experience that she had rewarded laYishly the mans care of her charge. My heritage of New England thrift began to calculate the cost 10 my generous but eXtrav- agant friend of this latest addition to her charities. True, Lillian had told me of the hundred-dollar bill which had been fastened to the light steel chain around the girls arm. But l knew my friend well enough to be sure that the bill would be kept intact for the girl when she should recover her mem- pry.
 Lillian Arrives
 Clasping Juniors hand tightly in mine, l hurried down to the plat form 10 Lilians side. She saw me coming and waited calmly for my aid, with none of the fussy attempt to do everything herself which SC many women exhibit in emergencies

that mas hung over the la444..s ce her fathers death, yet Leslie, poor dear, is not wholly to blame. She has been trying to do up to date, something that no woman can do. She has been worshipping an ideal. This of course can be done if one does not try to compress it into hu- man form.

She loves the ideal she has enshrincd in his physical shape.

 Have Musterole handy for emergency use. It may prevent serious illness To Mothers: Musterole is also made in rnilder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children's Musterole.
