t nice and soft.

Evening came and the robins sang their good night songs, and Raggedy Ann
watched the stars come out, twinkle all night and disappear in the
morning light. In the morning the robins again pulled yarn from Raggedy
Ann's head, and loosened her so she could peep over the side of the
limb, and when the sun came up Raggedy Ann saw she was in the trees in
her own yard.

Now before she could eat any breakfast, Marcella started out to find
Raggedy Ann. And, it was Marcella herself who found her. And this is how
she did it.

Mamma Robin had seen Marcella with Raggedy Ann out in the yard many
times, so she began calling "Cheery! Cheery!" and Daddy Robin started
calling "Cheery! Cheery! Cheer up! Cheer up! Cheerily Cheerily! Cheery!
Cheery!" And Marcella looking up into the tree above the house to see
the robins, discovered Raggedy Ann peeping over the limb at her.

Oh, how her heart beat with happiness. "Here is Raggedy Ann," she

where she was hugged in a tight embrace.

"You'll never go up on a kite again, Raggedy Ann!" said Marcella, "for I
felt so lost without you. I will never let you leave me again."

So Raggedy Ann went into the house and had breakfast with her little
mistress and Mamma and Daddy smiled at each other when they peeped
through the door into the breakfast room, for Raggedy Ann's smile was
wide and very yellow. Marcella, her heart full of happiness, was feeding
Raggedy Ann part of her egg.

RAGGEDY ANN RESCUES FIDO

It was almost midnight and the dolls were asleep in their beds; all
except Raggedy Ann.

Raggedy lay there, her shoe-button eyes staring straight up at the
ceiling. Every once in a while Raggedy Ann ran her rag hand up through
her yarn hair. She was thinking.

When she had thought for a long, long time, Raggedy Ann raised herself
on her wabbly elbows and said, "I've thought it all out."

At this the other dolls shook each other and raised up saying, "Listen!
Raggedy has thought it all out!"

"Tell us what you have been thinking, dear Raggedy," said the tin
soldier. "We hope they were pleasant thoughts."

"Not very pleasant thoughts!" said Raggedy, as she brushed a tear from
her shoe-button e
