Just the moment the giant boy began to grow small and as soon as he was no larger than Raggedy Andy, Raggedy Ann knew that Sel- fish Samuels wicked aunt, the old witch, had worked her magic charms on him.
 So inc Kaggedys caught hold of the little giant boys hands and ran with him towards his home.
 They were none too soon either for they had hardly disappeared down the path with Selfish Samuel and the witch appeared at the soda water spring.
 Just as soon as have soda, l shall hop upon my magic broom and catch up with them!" the witch said, "For I am determined that I shall have Raggedy Anns candy heart to add to my magic charms. I know it will make my magic work ever so much better!"
 So she and Selfish Samuel sat down beside the soda water spring and drank six ice cream sodas.
 "Now l am ready to follow Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the little giant boy! wonder what l did with my magic flying broom?"
 T haven't seen it" Selfish Sam uel said.
 Just then, Raggedy Ann's magi- cal hobby horse walked 10 the spring.
 Good morning." he said.
 'IIa," the mean old Witch said 10 herself. Here is a magical hobby horse! l will capture him and mako him carry me through the woods after the Raggedys:"
 Out loud she said, Come here nice wooden hobby horse and let me give you some chocolate ice cream" and she smiled a very witchy smile.
 Now the wooden hobby horse had been hiding in the bushes and he had heard every word the old witch and Selfish Samuel had said about Raggey Ann's candy heart. and he had made up his mind that he would fool the witch if he could. So he walked up 10 the mean crea- ture wagging his tail as if he was glad to see her.
 As soon as he came close enough. the witch grabbed him and gave him a crack with her crooked cane. Now then wooden Hobby Horse" she said, You belong 10 me and if you do not wish a lot of thumps and cracks with my cane,

 You haven't changed a bit, S-lvc you?" he snecrcd.

 "NOu Are Cowarlly"
 "Stop,' The anguished cry seemed wrung involuntarily from my mother-in-law's lips. You are cowardIy to lay the blame of that upon me. l always tried to do my duty to you, but"

 He laughed maliciously.
 "The old rapicr drew blood that time, didn't it?" he mocked.. Well, as l sent word to you by my little friend here" he gave a contempt uous wave of the hand toward the wizened tramp behind him. you can very easily insure my silence. Indeed, you need not have seen me at all, hut I suppose your mothers heart yearned to gaze upon me. However, there's no need for you to bother your head any longer. Just

But just as the hobby horse came to the bridge across a mud puddle. he suddenly stopped, and the witch, not expect ing this slid over his head, sailed off the bridge and lit ker-plunk. right in all the mud. Then. before she could get 10 her feet, the hob by horse had caught up with the Raggedys and the giant boy and taking them upon his back, soon left the wicked witch far behind.

''Eh?" murmured Macarthur.

'Eh?' murmured Macarthur.
 What is there that you want? 9
 Macarthur closed his eyes. His lips tWitched. But when he looked up again his face was once moro calm.
 I'm as far gone as that, eh?"
 "You're far gone, Macarthur, ' snapped the doctor. 50 if you want anything, shout for it now Whiskey?"
 His brutality did not bother Mac arthur.
 How long have l got??" he asked.
 "Maybe five minutes"
 "No more'n that?"
 I'm a doctor. not a prophet. You might last out an hour, l suppose But now I've done my duty and guess I'm through"
 He turned nasty glance ovei the assem blaze. Not d man had stirred. During the time of his cX- animation there had not been 6 whisper in the store.
 And when they heard his judg. ment, some one removed his hat The others followed the example and all unconsciously. No matter where and how Macarthur had sinned, he was swiftly passing to- ward a place where they were all bound. There were no young men there, and death is most terrible to the young. But even these hard cned fellows were impressed by the sudden snuffing out of so much power of hand and brain as that which now lay stretched upon the counter.
 If have only five minutes -- it'lI do. I've got something to say Has anybody got a pencil and some papcr?"
 It caused a stir. A dozen hands shifted into pockets. Papers ant many pencils were produced.
 Carney you're the man fol this. You understand these thing! bettcrn inc rest ot us.
 So designated, and urged forward by hands on either side, Samue Carney went slowly to the dying man. He had not failed to note tho quick turn of the head with wbicl Joe Macarthur had heard the nam' pronounced. And Carney, his braiI recling. crept slowly forward, feel ing that if Macarthur was facing death, he himself was facing some thing which was far worse!
 After all. how beautifully just l was - how accurately destiny wa dealing with him. On the very da! when he had confessed his sin ant when that confession had been re warded, as he felt, with utter ahso lution, he was to stand beside man who had been his unwilling victim and write down the word which were 10 damn himself for ever in the eyes of the community
 For there was no mistaking tn cruel satisfaction which sparklet now in the eyes of the dying man He had been trapped and betrayed and now he should have the con summate satisfaction of betrayinI the traitor. Yet there was no draw ing back for Carney. His gray fact was set. He prepared to suffer th' crucifixion.
 After that night he could nevel face the rest of the world. Bu there was a short cut to a refuge The gun in his house was stauncf enough to send a bullet into hi brain. and he could confidently leave the care of his wife and o his daughter 10 the great heart oi Oscar Fern, They would not sui

Before the doctor arrived some splints were improvised from an old box the mother had brought home from the grocery.
 They were careful that the splints were longer than the bone, and then some old clothes were obtained for padding. The padding always should be placed under the splints next to the flesh.
 Well you have handled the case very well so far the doctor told them when he came.
 Now we'll sec if we can't fix him up, just fine"

A neighbor across the way called Mrs. Mann.
 Johnnie has broken his leg, I believe." she said eXcitedly. Fell down the stairs"
 Mrs. Mann hurried over. The doctor was called at once, and in the meantime Johnnie was made as comfortable as possible.
 Mrs. Mann and the mother were very careful in handling the injured part.
 There always is danger of the rough ends of the bone forcing themselves through the skin," Mrs. Mann explained.

heads. And an unaccustomed touch of mercy made some one step closer and advise him that he had better save his strength and do no talking.
 'To hell with that!" answered Macarthur with a faint shadow of his old sheer returning. T got the life of another man on my hands. l got to get rid of it. So to start right there:
 Tt was me that killed Nichols and Springer Glostcr didn't have nothing to do with 1t. He wasn't at the mine. He was away hunting. When he came back and found the two of 'em dead, I guess he knew how folks would figure. That little old mine was opening up rich vein. Everybody would of thought that he'd bumped off his two part ners to get the whole thing into his hands,"
 He rolled his eye around at the others, savagely challenging them.
 "You'll be thinking that I'm say ing that just because I know that I'm going to pass out and that I might as well save the neck of my bunkie while I'm about it. But, for Gods sake, boys, believe what I'm saying. I'll tell you all the straight of it. I've been gunning for Gloster. But he's showed white clear through. There ain't no yaller in him.
 "One thing more. He joined the gang. But he didn't join 1t for the money nor because he'd been hound ed into going where he could get help ag'in half the sheri:fs in the west out after his head. He joined because Joan Barry was up in the hills where he was hanging out, and he wanted to be near her. She's down there in the stable"
 "A girl?", gasped the listeners faintly, for the starlight had been too dim and the speed of the black horse too great to enable them to distinguish anything definite about the rider in the saddle on the Cap ! tain.
 "A girl, say. And Buck Daniels 1 is with her. He ain't had any part 1 in this fracas. He come trailing Joan. and she come trailing US most like"
 "ts thorc anybody is that stable asked the doctor dryly, that: broken the law?'
 "Dud Rainey," answered Macar' thur. God knows, Dud is square But got 10 tell the truth to save the rest. And every word I've spoken is the truth and the whol, truth and nothing but the truth"
 A great tremor passed through his body. He gasped. And then hi' eyes closed.
 Surely, thought Carney in hi agony, the man would die now. Ant out Of his heart of hearts went UT a prayer, wordless, and stronger than words. to the God Of mercy that he might be spared this worse l than death.
 Hes making a good end" said one of the watchers. Hes clearing off his slate. And if what he says i' true, we'd ought to get Gloster and Daniels. out of that mess safe and sound"
 "If what he says is true!" added Another significantly. "A mighty slim chance that it's true Look - he's gone now"

What Is the Secret Which Mother
 Graham Guards?


 "Mother!"
 The word, to so many the most sacred on earth, issued flippantly from the lips of the tall man con. fronting Mother Graham, and to my excited fancy echoed from the wall Of trees around us in terrifying fashion.
 What did 1t mean. l asked my self fearfully, the utterance of this name evidently addressed directly to my motherin-law, by the disrepu- table looking man who stood before her! True, he was many degrees re- moved from the tattered tramp who had been his emissary, and who now stood few paces back. fur lively eyeing my mother -in-law. But he was worlds removed from the tall patrician old woman who had fallen back at his impudent salutation. She stood leaning feebly gesturing, as if she would shut out the sight of the handsome mock ing face before her.
 For he was handsome ack- nowledged that, as l regarded the man who. having delivered his thunderbolt was now cooly watch ing its effect. My hands clinched into fists, even as through my brain swirled a dozen surmises and spec ulations.
 "W1ho Is This Stranger"
 Never, before my marriage 10 Dicky, or since, had l heard him speak of brother. Indeed Mother Graham herself had spoken repeat edly of her 'only son, Richard" and I also had heard from her lips that she had five children two who died in early childhood, my hus- band, Harriet Braithwaite, and Elizabeth Harrison. Who. then, was this mock stranger, and by what right did he address her so con- ddently as Mother?
 My mother-in-laws voice, low, vibrant, but controlled, interrupted my speculations.
 How dare you call me Moth er?'" she exclaimed. Even if you are the man you say you are, you forfeited all right to use that name to me, years ago."
 The man leered at her in an ugly fashion which made my pulses quicken. I put out my hand to push aside the barrier of branches in order that I might rush to her side, but Lee Chow laid his hand quickly
