'I never. never saw the like." Raggedy Ann exclaimed as she and Raggedy Andy walked around bend in the path and came upon a queer looking creature rolling around in a mud puddle.
 "Is it a large puppy dog?" Rag gedy Andy asked as he and Raggedy Ann walked up closer.
 The strange creature stopped roll ing around in the mud puddle when the Raggedys drew close and looked at them with great white eyes. Are you waiting to eat me-" the creature asked.
 Dear me suz! What ever made you think we wished to eat you?" Raggedy Ann asked.
 "Cause!" the creature replied, "I am candy puppy dog and every time anyone sees me, they try to eat me and that isn't a speck of fun. No siree bob."
 Well, indeed, it isn't" Raggedy Ann agreed. But why do you roll around in the mud puddle, Candy Puppydog?"
 I'll tell you a secret if you won't tell anyone, Raggedy Ann," the can dy dob said, This is a chocolate candy mud puddle and it is real bit ter chocolate, so If am coated with the bitter chocolate, whoever tries to eat me will just taste he bitter chocolate first and then let me go!"
 "Ha! That is a good idea, Candy puppydog!" Raggedy Andy said. Out doesn't the bitter chocolate feel very very sticky? I know when I ge'

 Mrs. Underwood" The girl re- peated the name three times, as if trying to memorize 1t. Then she put another question. What is her name?" and l could visualize the jerk of her head toward me.
 Mrs. Graham"
 Mrs. Graham. Mrs. Oh-h!" The words were a shriek and the next instant my arms were pinioned with a grip whose strength was the su- perhuman one of insanity, and her voice. tense, raucous was demand ing for the second time in my ex- perience with her:

 Marion Guides the Car.
 Lillians winsome young daughter. like most other girls and boys of her age, is wild to drive a motor car. Of course. I never have per- mitted her to take the car out alone but in our drives along the unfre- quented country roads I often have given her the wheel. While not ar expert driver. she handles the cal well, and she inherited her mothers resourcefulness and initiative Therefore she did not need my low command to take the wheel. heard her say sharply. '"Don't move" and then her strong young arms slid under mine and graspec the wheel She steadied it, ther guided the car to the side of the road, where I applied the brakes while she turned off the key ant threw the gear into neutral.
 And still those hands, talon-like dug into my arms, hurting me ever through the heavy cloth of my motor coat, while Lillian's anting breath ing told me that she was exertinf all her strength against the girl who had been 50 inexplicably frenzied b. the sound of my name.

 You call yourself sailor! I be- lieved you were! Now I know you are not even a half sailor. Take orders from a passenger. and wo- man, do you? You are disrated. I'll not insult the men by making you a seaman. If you show your face to me again, I'll put you in irons and lock you up with Oats. Go away"
 "I'll go. sir!" he rasped. "I'll go." His great, deep chest heaved turbulently. The breath hissed through his quivering nostrils. I'll not deny you are right. am not worthy of trust.

Drake stood where he had been when the outburst began, motionless, pale as chalk in the lantern light, with the long scar on his face flut. tering like a livid, live thing. Stevens started to speak and cut short on a word, uttering a short, harsh laugh. He went down three steps of the ladder, and stopped to say quietly:
 You can end the story out oi your own conscience, Drake"
 He vanished in the shadows of the waist. The boats went away clumsily. ill-msnned, the long oar. handled by confused seamen who were unused to small boat work Drake stood like piece of carvng The words Jake Stevens had shot at him buzZed in his brain like in, fernal hornets. ys

 "Oh, you need not try to hide, Candy Dog!" she cried. T can see you very well and shall take you home and eat you!"
 "Oh, please do not eat the nice candy puppydog." Raggedy Ann said. "How would you like to be a candy puppy dog and have someone eat you? That wouldn't be very nice, would it?"
 Land sakes!" the little old wom- an cried. T am not worrying over that. What I want is to eat the candy puppy dog, and if you. will stand asides will break him up with my cane and give you and Rag gedy Andy each a piece of him."
 Don't you do 1t, please." the candy dog whispered in a shaky voice to Raggedy Ann. "We shan't do it." Raggedy Andy told the little old woman as he caught her arm and walked away with her. Now just show me where you live" he said, "and I'll take you home!" The little old woman did not wish to go home and she held back as hard as she could but Raggedy Andy made her go just the same. When he re- turned to Raggedy Ann and the candy dog, the candy dog was nice and dry and not the least bit sticky
 You were very kind, Raggedy Andy" he said. So I will give a piece of my candy tail to you!"

but definite directions should be ob- tained from the physician who un- derstands the individual child.
 Next to milk, probably eggs are the best food. As milk forms the diet of babies, calves, pigs and other small animals. so does the contents of the egg form the food of the young chick until it breaks its shell.
 Eggs may be prepared in many ways, which if the housewife will do it, will prevent the family grow ing tired of them.
 Do not try to force the family to eat fried eggs all the time. Devil them, scramble them. soft boil them and poach them. Also use them in cooking. The food value will be there just the same.

 Never mind Mister Twining!" stuttered Jake, his teeth clashing with fury as he stepped before Drake and leaned towards him all drooling water. I'm here. You knocked me overheard. Captain. I'm a man, and you can't"
 Twining ran up the ladder. Drake coolly looked past the raging Stevens.
 Mister Twining, swing out two boats. You and Mister Adams each take a boat and find out where we are. One of you try the shore side. and the other sound to seaward. Find out if it is possible to lay out an anchor to seaward."
 Now" said Stevens, as Twining departed, "we'll resume"
 Leave the poop!" snapped Drake, with the first trace of real anger he had shown. Stevens drew back, crouched, and glared through the gloom, unbelieving.

 CHILDREN AND EGGS

It is as bad to eat too many eggs as it is to eat none at all, Mrs. Mann learned.
 Children under or should not have more than one egg a day, or one every other day. School chil- dren and adults in general may eat one day, although there may be objections to this rule.
 When eaten according to reason they make an excellent food, how ever. They contain mineral ele- ments and are rich in vitamin A.

There were 50 many other sounds actually made by the infuriated mate as he grabbed futilely at glassy smooth iron plates. seeking some hanging rope, were nothing but note in the general uproar.
 Then lanterns began to flicker about the decks. Men who had been sleeping appeared among the deck watch, startled by the ships ground ing. Really very little time had elapsed since the striking. It seemed an age to Mary.

Chips to ascertain if the ship were taking water; old Bill Gargett with headline, seeking to know how the ship lay. Drake peered all around in the darkness, seeking for some hint of his position. He gave no thought to Jake Stevens over the side. In one direction he thought he saw dark loom of land; a faint, pale line about it appeared to be small surf. It might be the breaker caused by the ships sudden halt.
 Somewhere about the main brace pumpkin Stevens secured a hold, and his reappearance on board was not silent. Mary shook herself into life, running to Drake. putting her hands on his arm.

 But you mustn't blame" she persisted, with note of anger. He cut in coldly:

 He took her arm. and urged hel inside the companionway, closing the door upon her. She flung it open and flashed out, ablaze with rage Before she could speak a word Drake thrust her inside again, gently but no more to be resisted than tho tides.

 As Lillian had predicted, the rush of crisp autumn air past our speed ing car revived the girl who lay all most as if unconscious within the supporting circle of my friends arm. We had not reached the east ern boundary of Jamaica before she stirred, sat up. and spoke in her monotonous tones.
 Where is the window?" she said. It was the question which she had asked several times since she had been deserted upon the trans-con- tinental train. The intonation of the query was far different from that of the voice in which she had de- manded my name when she had first seen me, and that which in- vested her comment of few minutes before. But this isn't his carl" It was as if a heavy curtain separated the former existence ot the helpless victim of amnesia from her present state.
