Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy sat upon the floor in the fat mans kitchen and felt very sad.
 It was enough to make any one feel sad.
 They wished to get home as quick iy as possible and now, the fat man had captured them and had them tied to the legs of the kitchen table so they could not escape.
 The Raggedys tried to think of way to escape. but, even when Rag Sedy Ann ripped the stitches out of her rag head trying to think of plan, they still had to sit there and not find a way out of their difficulty.
 The fat man had eaten so many Of tbs lovely potato chips Raggedy Ann had cooked for him, he had fallen asleer and he did not awake until the Grocery boy came stomping up- on the back porch and brought the groceries.
 And maybe then, the fat man would not have awakened, but the grocery boy. who was no different inc door with his foot and knocked down the large tub and wash boiler on the back porch, then banged upon tthe door with his foot and knocked three glasses and water pitcher from the kitchen table and broke them. This was enough to awaken even a fat person.
 Now you can start right in peel ing potatoes for Raggedy Ann to cook for mel" the fat man told Rag gedy Andy.
 Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy both thought the fat man had eaten enough potato chips, but the fat man did not think so.
 When the potato chips were COOK ed. the fat man said, Now ] snail take the potato chips over to Cousin wfuie's house and we will have nice dinner: Willie and | You Rag vedys are stuffed with cotton, so you ao not need anything to eat!"
 Of course, this was quite true the RsEgedys did not need anything to ,st but they liked nice things like

slauging each other?" he asked blusteringly. You know as well as I do that I'm not particularly anxious to get Into a row with my brother, with tho cops probably served up as a side dish, But we both know something else, too. You don't want me to go to him for the old lady's sake, else, as you said before, you wouldn't be here at all So why cant we talk sensibly?"
 "Ill admit you got my' goat when you talked in that top Of Mount Everest manner of yours about get ting me position and giving m" temporary aid. But l ought to know that's just your way. You've lived on the mountain tops so long that you cant sec anybody. down in the valleys. But you're woman oi good, common sense, and I'm counting on you to sec my side Of this thing when you get chance to null it over. Just now you're ob- sessed by the idea that I'm an i'm postor who has done tho real stephen Graham to death But when you finally make up your mind, as you will, that I'm the real thing, I can feel that you're square enough 10 see that l get my rights. Why, blast 1t all" he finished in fine frenzy, "a good share of the money my old man willed 10 your mother-in-law originally belonged to my mother"
 My triumph at the Conciliatory manner ] had induced In him was short-hved, for if sincere belief In his own cause did not sound in his | voice, then he was a more clever l actor than I had ever seen upon the stage. But out of all his speech, so discouraging to my hopes, l picked up and filed away one thing. It would be comparatively easy mat ter. I thought, to check his claim that his own mothers money had formed part of the elder Graham S estate.
 For the present however, l was wild to get away that l might eX- anime the tiny envelope l had se- creted - unobserved, l hoped -- when Steve" had dropped it. Therefore, I made my own voice less arbitrary when I answered him.
 q am perfectly willing to wait for my final decision until a week from today, after the examination to which you say you arc willing to submit, And l will get you the money. now. The Chinese Is keep ing 1t for me, so I will call him."
 With wary eye upon the man opposite me I put to my lips the tiny carved whistle Lee Chow had given me and blew the call l had practiced.

doughnuts and cream puffs and ice cream cones and other things just the same.
 When the fat man had gone with his potato chips to visit cousin Will lie, Raggedy Ann said, "Why Rag gedy Andy. How silly of us not 10 think to cut the strings we are tied with and escape!"
 Raggedy Andy wondered why they had not thought of this before, but he said nothing as he cut the strings and he and Raggedy Ann walked out of the fat mans house. They had just rescued their magic scOoters from the fat mans wood shed when the fat man and Cousin Willie came sailing away down the path.
 "Where is Raggedy Ann?" the fat man shouted long before he reached his front gate. "She forgot 10 put salt on the potato chips and now Cousin Willie and I cannot eat them!" The Raggedys chuckled as they watched the fat man and Cousin Nlllle walk by lIlcll ID llS house, then the Raggedys hoped upon their magic scooters and went sailing away down the path. The fat man was very angry when he found the Raggedys had escaped and he blamed Cousin Willie. Then , Cousin Willie blamed the fat man and the fat man gave Cousin Willie such a hard thump, he upset the potato chips in the dirt. Then they had no potato chips 10 eat which served them right, The fat man wanted Cousin Willie to cook some more potato chips, but Cousin Willie gave the fat man very hard thump and told him he was lazy fellow. : And while the two quarrelled, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy rode along through the lovely woods until they came to a field of candy covered cookies growing right be- side a lemonade spring. And. in a
 few minutes, they forgot all about the lazy fat man and enjoyed inc cookies and the refreshing lemonade.

away that she began to wonder why she had come there to the house that seemed still to be alive with Dick.
 'I ought 10 go back to mothers" she told herself. There's no point in getting soft and sentimental about Dick now, when he hates me. If I had any sense I'd divorce him and forget him. I suppose. There must be some one else some where who could make me happy" But she knew there wasn't any body else who could,
 She closed and locked the doors and windows of the house, and went upstairs,
 Her own room -. , with it's silk curtains rustling in the night wind. .. An, 1t was the sanctuary she needed. Away from everyone who would question her or give her ad- vice.
 Tomorrow she'd brace up and get a job. Shed face the world, and whatever was ahead Of her. But tonight shed stay here, hidden and at peace.
 She thought of the months be- fore her marriage when she and Dick had come here every day to
 
 making a home for just the two of them! She remembered how Dick had watched her as she went around the half finished house, planning the furniture that was 10 go into it. He had loved her then.

Could it be possible that he had no feeling at all for her now?
 I'm going to telephone him right now and tell him to come herei want to see him." Gloria said sud denly, moved by an impulse strong CT than herself.
 She called the number of the old Gregory residence. "What'll ] say 10 him." she thought in panic, as she waited for him to answer. T haven't any excuse for seeing him, have I?'
 But to her intense relief, 1t was not Dicks voice. but Mother Greg ory's, that answered the phone.
 This is Gloria, speaking" the girl said. "Is Dick there, please?"
 'No, he's not" Mother Gregory'S full voice snapped off the words. He came home to dinner. but he's gone out for the evening""
 All right =. . goodby," Gloria faltered.
 Wait minute."> Mother Greg ory cried. q want to say a word 10 you, Gloria. .. think you'd better not telephone Dick again. There's no use in keeping him stirred up all the time. .. You two have agreed to disagree, and you'd better stick 10 it."
 Gloria had no answer.
 "Glo-r'ee-a, did you hear me?" Dicks mother asked, after mo- , mcnt.

the beautlfying breakfast the hero inc Of Scott Fitzgerald novel had eaten. while her husband was away at war,
 I'm a sort of a war-widow, my self" Gloria added mentally. T sup pose a family quarrel is war just as well as one between nations" She sighed, dismally.
 But her spirits lifted when the cab turned in at the driveway of her own house. She turned her head away so that she didn't sec the For Sale" sign as they swept past 1t.
 The house smelled musty.
 Gloria threw open the windows and doors. She took off her hat, and ran out into the back yard to pick some of the late roses that glowed among the leaves of the bushes.
 She filled bowls and vases with them, and turned on all the lamps in the living-room. The house be- gan to feel home-like and happy again. ..
 There came q sound of footsteps on the back porch.
 The Donberg twins stood there, peering in through the screen door. Their noses were fattened against the wire netting.
 Hello" one of them said. Were glad you're home again. We like you"
 Because you're pretty" the other added, solemnly.
 You mustn't like people because they're pretty" Gloria told them, You must like folks because they're nice and good like your mother"
 Aren't you nice and good?' asked one twin.
 Well, no. . But I can tell fairy stories," Gloria answered Come over tomorrow and I'll tel you one about a poor girl who wa' DeNltCned py an ogre
 She thought of herself and Star Wayburn. In his own sleek, dappel way, Stan had been a sort of ogre He certainly had bewitched her, af ter a fashion Oh, well. what wa! the use thinking about it? Look here, infants" she said suddenly. Run over and ask you mother If I can borrow a piece O ice from her. Just little piece . enough for a pitcher of lemonade.
 The pair dashed down the steps : racing to see who could reach hom first, to be the proud bearer Of tn borrowed ice.
 In a few minutes the light tap ping of high heels came across th porch. The twins mother stoo' there, holding a large lump of ic in ono hand and a covered plate il tho other.
 Hello. there," she called cheer fully. What are you doing here I thought you and your nice hus band had gone away for good
 "Oh, just came back to pac up some things" Gloria put her of And ] thought while I was hert , I'd get bite to eat" Mrs. Donberg laughed. "1'v brought you another bite" she saiC , uncoverng the plate. Some devil food cake I baked this mornin: Mir. Donberg has such a swec tooth! Desserts the whole mes to him."
