 kissed her appreciatively.
 You're as thoughtful as your mother, Marion" said, and her eyes were starry with pleasure,
 That's the very incest compli- ment l could have, and then she sped away to my mother-in-laws room. followed close at her heels, finding Mother Graham flushed and tired, while Junior perched upon her feet was pretending that the bed was an automobile and he was the driver. l transferred him to Marion's care without ceremony, then shook up my mother-in-law's pillows, bathed her face and hands and pulled down the window curtains.
 T prescribe a nap" I said gaily.
 I'm afraid Junior has tired you out"
 "Richard Second could never tire me" she declared, fatuously, but l am a little tired from the excite ment of the night and morning, Tell me, did you get that hundred dollars yet?"
 I'll Go Tomorrow
 "Why, no, Mother" l replied, wondering at her forgetfulness. To-day is Sunday. The bank isn't open. I'll go tomorrow"
 She stared at me incredulously.
 Sunday, You're crazy. This is Monday. Tomorrows Tuesday.
 It was my turn to stare. From what had she evolved this prepos- terous idea? It was totally unlike her, Usually she is a walking all manac.
 How shall I convince you?" l asked. Here is the paper Dicky bought. Just look at the date line" !"
 She gazed at it for a minute and then laid it down. looking at me with the dawning of hope in her eyes
 "Oh, Margaret" she said pitifully. If I'm wrong about the day, if I dreamed today was Monday, maybe all the rest of that awful thing was dream, too"

There! IL just serves you right,' Charlie Chipmunk cried as he watched old Heezy dance about with her finger in her mouth. q wouldn't have bitten you, if you had not been so mean! Now l shall hurry and tell nice, kind Raggedy Ann.
 And Charlie Chipmunk chatter ing to himself, ran away through the woods,
 Old Heezy the Witch was very very angry, Just wait until l catch Charlie Chipmunk again." she cried, I'll show him!" But the mean old creature never caught Charlie again. and to tell the truth. l do not believe she ever cared to catch him again., Anyway mumbling to herself, the Witch hobbled back 10 her home in the hickory nut tree to get some salve to put on her sore finger.

 Stumbling on in this fashion through the wood. with shadows already swinging before his eyes, he ran against a projecting branch. . stiff and strong-tipped bough which cut against the wound. He clspped his hand over the place. felt the blood gush. and staggered weakly on toward inc black horse.
 The stallion remained honestly where he had been placed, but his low neigh of greeting came faint and far to Lee. He reached for the pommel and then found that he would never have the strength to pull himself into the saddle.
 Lee Haincs!" someone was call- ing.
 Not he!" answered Haines. stag gering as he turned. Not Hainea. Gloster. Come get me, and be damned to you" .
 And then his misting eyes saw that it was only girl who stood be- fore him, and he knew 1t was a girls voice that had spoken.
 Tt is Haines!" she was crying eagerly.
 Where's Gloster?"
 Hes gone as fast as fast horse can take him away"
 Thank God"
 They were interrupted by,a rush. ing of men and horsAs through the brush, and the clamor of a score of voices calling. Already the light cavalry of the town had swept into the pursuit; others were following. A cluster plunged past the girl and Haines not a dozen feet away. But they were looking for moving fig- ures. and these stationary shadows remained unseen.
 'Why aren't you riding?" she asked.
 "Riding?" Haines echoed. "I'll go as far as water and stay there. Is there water near here"
 He coughed. and the excruciatinG pain stopped his voice. She stepped

 If I ever find out who ate my cookies while I was asleep" she mumbled to herself, T shall snip their ears off! That's what l will do"
 "Ha, ha, hal" a voice in the trees above the Witch laughed. T know who nibbled all your cookies, mean old Heezy the Witch"
 Old Heezy looked up and saw mischievious Charlie Chipmunk sit- ting upon a limb nibbling a nut, "Who was it?" she asked Charlie.
 "Ha. It was a good joke on you you mean old creature" Charlie chuckled, While you were asleep, saw the Raggedys and their hobby horse tiptoe up and eat all your cookies. And I could hardly keep from falling out of the tree, ] laughed so hard!"
 Just you wait until catch the Raegedys.." the Witch howled, T shall snip of their ears with my scissors, Then I shall snip them right in two'"
 "If were you, mean old Heezy, I would not try 10 catch the Rad- gedys, for you will get into trouble sure pop, Raggedy. Ann has a candy heart, maybe you don't know it. and have heard that it is 8 magic one. She may work magic on you"
 "Ha: Hal" Heezy cried, "Now you have told a secret, Charlie Chip munk.

T am 1 so sorry I said anything about nice, kind Raggedy Ann's candy heart! I shall run and tell her right away that you are up to mischief. And l hope you never, never catch her" And Charlie came down from the tree and started running away to- wards where he knew Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy were, But Old Heezy, the Witch did not intend letting Charlie Chipmunk spoil her plan So she ran after him and in a few moments caught him by the tail.
 You wicked little Chipmunk!" Heezy cried, forgetting that she was the one who planned doing the mean things and not Charlie Chip munk, "I shall take you home and lock you in a cage so that you can not tell Raggedy Ann! That's what shali dol"

IF RHEUMATIC
 EAT NO SWEETS
Says glass of Salts helps to overcome Rheumatism
 Acid

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known authority. We are advised to dress warmly, keep the feet dry. avoid ex- posture. and above all, drink plenty of good water and avoid eating sweets of all kind.
 Rheumatism is caused by body waste and acids resulting from food fermentation. It is the function Of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work: they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this vast, and acids. which keeps acoumulatine and circulating through the system eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, sorenes, and pain, called rheumatism,
 At the first twinge of rheumatism, get from any pharmacy about foW ounces of Jad Salts; put a table spoonful in glass of water and drink before breakfast each morn ing for . week. This is helpful tc neutralize acidity. remove vast matter, also 10 stimulate the kidney, thus often rldding the blood O. rheumatic poison.
 Jad Salts Is inexpensive, and l. made from the acid of grapes ana lemon juice, combined with lithia. and is used with excellent results by 1 thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.

Breakfast-Combination orange juice, cereal, thin cream, scrambls sd eggs with rice, oven toast. jelly, milk, coffee.
 Luncheon--Turkey soup, toasted crackers, peach Salld, rolhi oats bread, cup custards, molassos cook. ies, milk, tea.
 Dinner-7Roast beef, potatoes baked with meat, brussels sprouts. cranberry salad, whole wheat bread, apple snow pudding, plain cake, milk, coffee.
 The combination orange Juice Is a mixture Of orange juice, grape juice and lemon juice. EnoIyh lemon juice to cut the sweetness of the grape juice should be used ard about half as much orange juice as grape juice. Lemon juice is said to have approximately the same me- dicinal properties as quinine. Of course it would take lot of emons to equal a fraction of a grain of quinine actually, but If lemon juice Is used regularly in salads and dcs- serts and drinks a person is less likely 10 need quinine in doses.
 If you have always believed that you didn't like any kind of toast but thick, soft, soggy-with-butter toast just try some hot, crisp, nutty- brown buttery toast made in hot oven. It's delicious and crunchy and brittle and very good for you, much better than the soft stuff.
 Turkey Soup.
 Break the turkey carcass in pieces, removing any of the stuffing that may cling 10 the frame. Put bones, skin and scraps of meat that can't be used in any other way into the soup kettle. Cover with cold wa.er and let stand one hour, bring slowly to the boiling point and simmer one hour. Add tops of celery and one medium sized onion cut in slices Simmer an hour longer and strain. Add enough boiling water to make four cups, Bring to the boiling point and season with salt and pepper. Add one-fourth cup well washed rice that has stood in cold water for an hour. Cook over hot water

 He stumbled and would have fal- len. but her shoulder caught under him. and held him strongly up. She drew one of his dangling arms around her neck. Her right arm she passed around him, and now hal fhis weight slumped lifelessly upon her.
 "Try to walk = slowly!" she gasped, and they staggered on through the darkness.
 Doesn't amount to anything" she heard him say. 'T'll just tie pp the place they nicked me v be all right in a minute and - you go along about your business - nobody must find you with me-"
 But no matter how bravely he talked. she saw that his head had fallen far forward so that he was blinded to the way they went, and every moment the weight she was carrying increased.
 She had seen an old cabin. more than half ruined. wsarh stood among the trees. and to this she now led Lee Haines. He was barely past the door when he slumped down. his weight tearing away from her gripping hands, while h6 mur- mured: I'll just sit down here to rest a minute. Be all right - you run along now"
 His weakening voice and his fall told her a thousand things more than his words. .....

 She struck a light and looked anxiously around her. The cabin was a wreck indeed. There was no floor ing.

Diarion's Emotions Become Bit
 Entanglcd

Entanglcd
 For the second time within te.. minutes I found myself unable 10 answer promptly a question pro- pounded to me by Marion Norton Lillian Underwood's adorable young daughter. But there was a vast difference between tho queries in their effect upon me. In telling Marion that l did not know whether her mother would find happiness in marrying Robert Sayarin. had ex- perienced no emotional reaction save disappointment that could not give her a definite answer, But her query as to which I loved better Dicky or Junior, shook me 10 my very soul
 Glibly l had told Marion that '"rhere's something wrong with the mother who doesn't love her chil- dren best of all in the world" l had believed my own statement, too, until the chlds puzzled question, making concrete application of my theory, ,itore open the secret places of my heart as an explosive blast might have done.
 What l found there astounded me. Ever since I felt the first clutch of my babys clinging fingers, l have lived for him, put his comforts and demands before those of anyone else, and, rejoicing in Dicky's devo- ton to his small son, l have ar ranged my household gods in the order sponsored by so many women ---children flrst parents 8 decided second.
 But something more powerful than even love of children-some- thing primitive, sayage-leaped in my heart at Marion's probing and found voice upon my lips.
 "Dicky Is My Mate"
 ''Dicky is my man, my mate" l found myself murmurng insistently. There can be no one dsarer to me than he"
 Then, as I saw Marion's wide won- dering eyes upon me, I pulled my self together sharply, thankful that the words had been but murmur, and that she could not possibly have distinguished them.
 One thing I saw clearly. Having Bust told her that mothers loved their children better than anyone else, thus assuring her of her su- spremacy In her mothers affections, I could not reveal to her the truth about my own feeling which I just had discovered. There was but one thing to do. and I did it promptly.
 "Of course l love Junior best of sll the world" I said, salving my conscience with the additional re- mark. ''but that's very hard to tell, Marion, when I love two people as much as I do your Uncle Dicky and Junior. You see it's different with your mother. If Uncle Robert was your really truly father. she might have a hard time telling also, but ss 1t Is, of course you come abso- iately first"
 The contented look on her face Geepened.
 I'm glad Junior comes first too" she said, and then she rose from her chair and hugged me impetuously.

 Sonmers. Continued


 What's the joke?" asked Mir John Alden Prescott in his stateliest puritanical manager. He made me think of his mother and I laughed harder than ever, but knowing that he should have few things ex- plained to him, l said:
 ''I am laughing at you"
 Of course you know how q man hates 10 be laughed at. He was furious at me.
 T really can't understand, Mrs, AthertQn," he remarked coldly, "iust why you should think it funny when I ask you to dine with me, I am lonely"
 T don't think 1t Is funny. I think it is utterly and blstantly stupid. Can you imagine anything more ridiculous than for you and me 10 go out 10 dinner together tonight?"
 He drew himself up and tried to look through me - he is tall and good looking -- and Cuttingly said; T fail to understand you."
 T don't expect you do. When you gre angry you forget everything else, even the English language.
 But you went put to dinner with me in Albany" he remonstrated.
 That was entirely a different proposition. You are well known in Albany. You have lived there prac- ticaIly all your life. Most people knew your vagaries. You did not hold such a responsible position. It was also known that I was friend of your wife's, Here the eyes of the whole steel trade are upon you.

 He plunged past Haines. three steps away, and was gone with a crash among the young trees. Clos ter called hastily: "Haines. Haines! For Gods sake, where are your"
 He refined In his horse, needless of the bullets which were whistling near him. But there was no answer from Haines.
 Instead slenderer and smaller figure now rushed horse out of the darkness where he had expect ed to see the other man come to join.
 And, the next instant, a girls voice was crying to him; Follow me! This way! Ride hard!'
 Amusement engulfed him, and then he rode as fast as the sheirff's horse would take hi.h, in pursuit of 1 the girl. She led him straight at a thick, low copse.
 You've gained on them!" she cried, clapping her hands together in delight. They'll have to ride around the thicket to come on your 'trail again. Ride fast ride. hard! Or if you stay at all. only stay 10 take my horse. There's nothing in the country that can come up with him for running"
 He could not believe his ears. Be- yond the thicket, men were shout 1 ing, men were riding here and there, baffled by his disappearance. These were precious moments to put & distance between himself and them. But instead of taking her advice, he pressed closer to her and peered down into hsr face. The starlight was bright bright enough to give him d thousand hints of her beauty, and yet so dim that shadow still i lay across her features.
 You're the girl" he said. T knew that. voice as well as though I'd heard you singing the song-.-"
 Don't stop to talk" she cried. Be gone at once. Don't you hear them? Don't you hear them?"
 In fact the noise of horses and of shouting was spreading, behind them, to either edge of the thicket, and before long the riders would swarm out into the arroyo.
 Il can't leave till I know your name"
 "Joan. Joan Daniels. Now-quick- ly -- they come - oh, don't you see?"
 What do I care? I'm living 8 year every second. I could spend a whole life of happiness right here trying to tell you how much love you, Joan. But the words wouldn't tell you what I mean"

 Ask me again, Joan"
