can get the things out of the machine drawer!" Henny
suggested.

"Yes," cried Susan, "let's all go get the things out of the machine
drawer! Come on, everybody!"

And Susan, although she had only a cracked head, ran out the nursery
door followed by all the rest of the dolls.

Even the tiny little penny dolls clicked their china heels upon the
floor as they followed the rest, and Raggedy Andy, carrying his loose
arm, thumped along in the rear.

Raggedy Andy had not lived in the house as long as the others; so he did
not know the way to the room in which the machine stood.

After much climbing and pulling, the needle and thread and thimble were
taken from the drawer, and all raced back again to the nursery.

Uncle Clem took off Raggedy Andy's waist, and the other dolls all sat
around watching while Raggedy Ann sewed the arm on again.

Raggedy Ann had only taken two stitches when she began laughing so hard
she had to quit. Of course when Raggedy Ann laughed, all the other dolls
laughed too, for laughter, like yawning, is very catching.

"I was just thinking!" said Raggedy Ann. "Remember, 'way, 'way back, a

"Tell us about it!" all the dolls cried.

"Let's see!" Raggedy Ann began. "Your Mistress left you over at our
house one night, and after everyone had gone to bed, we went up into the
attic!"

"Oh, yes! I do remember now!" Raggedy Andy laughed. "We played with the
large whirligig!"

"Yes," Raggedy Ann said. "The large spinning wheel. We held on to the
wheel and went round and round! And when we were having the most fun,
your feet got fastened between the wheel and the rod which held the
wheel in position and there you hung, head down!"

"I remember, you were working the pedal and I was sailing around very
fast," said Raggedy Andy, "and all of a sudden the wheel stopped!"

"We would have laughed at the time," Raggedy Ann explained to the other
dolls, "but you see it was quite serious."

"My mistress had put us both to bed for the night, and if she had
discovered us 'way up in the attic, she would have wondered how in the
world we got there! So there was nothing to do but get Raggedy Andy out
of the tangle!"

"But you pulled me out all right!" Raggedy Andy laughed.

"Yes, I pulled and I pulled until I pulled one of
