 She walked slowly away from the house where The Family were still holding their counsel. She imagined her Aunt Dorcas' rich voice saying: Well, Gloria's having what old Aunt Fanny used 10 call the high strikes She's always so excitable. Can't talk over anything calmly"
 Glad of her escape, and soothed by her long walk in the sunshine, Gloria turned into Walnut Hill park,
 There were the usual Sunday crowds here. scattering newspapers, bread-crusts and egg-shells from their picnic baskets on the yellow green grass.

Then he cried, Get up, magic scooter" and the two magic scooters began running through the woods "Lickity Split" And presently when they came to a large log, the fat man did not know how to stop the scooters, so instead of making the scooters hop over the log, he tried to make them both go around the log. But magic scooters, while they run nicely, still are not able 10 un- derstand just what the rideE wishes, so. instead Of both running around the same side of the log, the scoot- CTS ran around both sides. This scraped the fat man off the scooters and made him drop the Raggedys. Then, before he could get to his feet, the Raggedys had hopped upon their scooters and were sail ing away through the woods. And the fat man sat and rubbed the bump upon his head and wondered what had happened.

Until now 1t has always been considered a dis grace 10 see tho names of any of the ladies of the Prescott family banded about in a 0ewspaper.
 You know l am an old-fashioned woman. John, and l do not care for notoriety of any kind.
 In my telegram 10 you last week, l intimated that it would be good thing if Leslie sold those pearls and am advising you that, if by any possibility she ever gets them back, you sell them. Five hundred thou sand dollars, my son, Is more money than any of us ever had as far back as our history goes and 10 think that your wife has that much money tied up a baubles to wear around her neck is sin.
 So that Ellington girl Is dead. It was a good thing. There was al- ways bad blood in that family. Mrs. Burke couldn't live with the brother and why she should take the sister into her house and pass her off on you is more than l can solve. She probably found she could not keep her herself.
 There was a very romantic story in the papers 10 the effect that Miss Ellington died because she would not tell where Leslie's pearls were
