Anyway" Raggedy Andy said, l we have captured the Magican's castle, even If we have not captured | the magician. But he Is sure to re- turn and when he does, we will just keep him outside until he grows so hungry he will have to give us little Ned's nice mama."
 And change me back into a pret- ty lady" the poor witch sighed,
 "Oh. yes!" Raggody Andy said. j "We will make the Magician do that too."
 Why not search the magician's castle for little Ned's nice mama!" Granny Hoppytoad suggested. Whenever Magicians capture nice ladies. they always keep them pris- oners, like old Mister BIuebeard did!"
 That's it." Raggedy Andy cried. While the Magician i3 away, We will find little Ned's nice mama when all We will have to do when the ma gician returns is to make him change the poor witch into A nice pretty lady like she was hefore.' So the Raggedys and the others searched all through the Magicisn's castle, but nowhere could they find little Ned's nice mama, though they found many doors which were locked tight and no keys about | handy.
 r The Magician had a very fine cas- tie though, even if he WAS q ma glcian. There were so many nice wonderful things in the castle which the Magician had collected. There was a magic soda water fountain, and lot of lolypop plants and cv- erything magical like that. So the Raggedys and their friends ate ice cream sodas while they waited for l the magician 10 return.
 1 Finally they heard something un- stairs go "SCRITCH! SCRATCH" and went up to See what 1t was, and when they reached the room where the noise was, there stood the Ma giCian. He had made the magic bas- ket carry him right up to one Of The i open windows and right into the room.
 'Ha, hal you thought you could keep me out, but you forgot 10 lock the windows" the magician laughed and seeing that Raggedy Andy had left his long sharp sword down stairs leaning against the ice cream soda water fountain, the magician was not afraid Of Raggcdy Andy now.
 And another thing" the Ma gician said, very loud and cross like, You must get right out of my cas- tie before l throw you all out of the window" And. as the Magician was ever so much larger than Raggedy Andy, he caught him and threw him right out of the window Of course 1t did not hurt Raggedv Andy even n tenny weeny bit, for he was stuffed with soft cotton, but 1t. made Rag gedy Andy feel badly 10 think he had forgotten 10 take his sword up- stairs with him, Then the Magician caught Raggcdy Ann and threw her out of the window and she fell upon the ground beside KaEgedy Andy.
 Anyway, 1t did not hurt.' Rag gedy Andy said.
 No! It did not hurt m," Rag gedy Ann said. But if the wicked Magician should throw Grampy Hoppytoad, or little Ned or the poor witch out Of the window, it would hurt them, for they are not stuffed with nice clean white cotton as we are."
 Then We must stay here, so if the Ma sgician does throw them out Of the window We can have them fali right ..on US and the fall will not hurt
