So the friends. Raggedy Ann. Rag
gedy Andy, the Wild Gazook, the Hooly
goolys and the nice fat Policeman all
followed the trail left by the mean old
Magician through the grass and bushes
and soon saw that it would lead back
to the Magician's house.
Raggedy Ann still had the Ma
gician's little green magi£ book which
he had dropped when our friends sprang
out and captured him.
It was a very fine book of magic and
told how to perform a whole lot of very
magical things, but it was not as good
as the large red book of magic which
the mean old Magician had at home.
Raggedy Ann knew this and that was
why she was very anxious for everyone
to hurry ft3 fast as they could and try
and capture the Magician before he
reached home. “If he gets there be
fore we do,” Raggedy Ann said. “He
will get his large red magic hook and
there is no telling what he will do to
us! Everyone could run fast except
the nice fat Policeman and he ran as
fast as he could. But it was only a
short time until he lost his breath
again.
Seeing thnt if they stopped to wait
until the nice fat Policeman caught
his breath, they would give the Ma
gician too much time, the Wild Gaxook,
for he was very strong, picked up the
nice fat Policeman and carried him un
til he caught his breath.
