Mr. Gooly took Rag gedy Andy and tied him with a rope to the leg of the kitchen table, when Mr. and Mrs. Sanky took Walter and Raggedy Ann to their home and tied them to the leg of their kitchen table. ■’Now!" Mrs. Sanky cried, as she sat down in a rocking chair, “Rag gedy Ann can cook dinner while Walter sets the table!” And Mr. Sanky sat down in a rocking chair too, and smoked his pipe, while he waited for dinner. “Now you hurry and set the table!” Mr. Sanky shouted to little Waiter. “And you hurry and cook dinner!” Mrs. Sanky shouted to Raggedy Ann. Mr. and Mrs. Sanky had tied Walter and Raggedy Ann to the table leg in their kitchen and now Mr. and Mrs. Sanky w’ere sitting in comfortable rocking chairs waiting for Walter and Raggedy Ann to get dinner ready. Raggedy Ann would have been pleased to cook dinner for anyone who was nice and kind, but Mr. and Mrs. Sanky were stingy and mean, so Raggedy Ann did not like to do anything for them. "I wish Raggedy Andy was here!" Raggedy Ann said to Walter as she took flour and made it into pan cake batter. Both Mr. and Mrs. Sanky laughed at this, “Ha, ha, ha! Raggedy Ann!” Mr. Sanky laughed, “You will never see Raggedy Andy again, because Mr. f Gooly has him tied to the table leg at Mr. Gooly's house and he will never let Raggedy Andy escape, and we have you tied here and we will never let you go outside the house and so, of course, you will never es cape!” “No! They will never, never es cape!” Mrs. Sanky agreed, "It Is too nice having someone do the work for us.” “But, if I can’t go outside the house, someone will have to go to the well and get water!” Raggedy Ann said, "How can I make pan cakes If I do not have water? Just you tell me that, Mrs. Sanky!” “Mr. Sanky will run out and get the water!” Mrs. Sanky said as she went on rocking. “Indeed! I shan’t!” Mr. Sanky cried. "It’s-very nice sitting here! You run and get the water, Sarah!" “I shall not budge until dinner is ready!” Mrs. Sanky cried as she closed her eyes, "Call me as soon as dinner is ready, Raggedy Ann, for I shall take a nap!” “You do not need to think that I shall get the water!” Mr:. Sanky said as he closed his eyes, “You must call me when dinner is ready, Walter, for I shall take a nap too!” And soon bo** Mr. and Mrs. Sanky were snor ing very loud. “Dinner is ready!” Raggedy Ann said after awhile, but neither of the Sankys paid any at tention to her. Dinner was not ready, but Raggedy Ann wanted to see if the Sankys were really asleep or just pretending. When she was certain that both of the mean old creatures were really sound asleep. Raggedy Ann took a sharp knife and cut the ropes which held her and Walter captive then whispering to Waiter to be very quiet the two tiptoed out of the house and left the Sankys sound asleep In the rocking chairs. ’Won’t the lazy creatures be dis appointed when they awaken and find us gone?” Raggedy Ann said to Walt er. "I can almost hear Mr. Sanky stomping around and howling!” Walt er laughingly replied. “Both he and Mrs. Sanky are real old cross patches and they will be very peevish!” "We must run over to Mr. Gooly’s house and see If we can rescue Rag gedy Andy,” Raggedy Ann said, “for Mr. Gooly will not treat Raggedy Andy any better than the Sankys treated us!” So Bhe and Walter ran down the path until they could see the Gooly house through the bushes. Mr. Gooly had tied Raggedy Andy to the kitchen table and was sitting In a comfortable rocking chair. “Now you must hurry and get my dinner!” Mr. Gooly shouted to Raggedy Andy. “I do not know how to cook!” Rag gedy Andy replied. “That doesn’t make even a speck of difference!” Mr. Gooly cried, “You will have to learn, that's what! So hurry! I’m getting hungrier and hungrier every minute.” So, while Mr. Gooly read a book, Raggedy Andy rattled the dishes and set the table, but really, he did not know what to cook for Mr. Gooly’s dinner. ’’If I knew how to cook steak, I would cook Borne for Mr. Gooly!” Raggedy Andy thought, but when he looked In Mr. Gooly’s Ice box, there wasn't a smidgin of meat of any kind. "Ha! I won’t hav% to cook any meat, that’s one thing!" Raggedy Andy laughed to himself. “Why are you chuckling to your self, Raggedy Andy? Are you trying to think of some way to fool me?" Mr. Gooly asked as he looked up from his book. "Nope!” Raggedy Andy replied. “Would you like a baked dleh towel or napkin for your dinner, Mr. Gooly?” Raggedy Andy enlckered. “See here!" Mr. Gooly cried. “Don't you try to aiake fun of me. Raggedy Andy! Anyone know* baked dish towels and baked napkins aren't good to eat!” "Billy goats eat them. I ’spcct!” Raggedy Andy replied. “Well! Maybe they do!” Mr. Gooly howled, "But I am not a Billy Goat! Just yon remember that, Mister Rag gedy Andy!” Raggedy Andy looked in the lee box. In the cupboard and everywhere about the house, but he could not find anything to eat. “How do you 'speet me to get din ner when there isn't a thing to eat In the whole, whole house, Mr. Gooly?” ”1 wish you wouldn’t bother in* when I’m trying to read!” Mr. Gooly replied. “Th»» la a very exciting book, Raggedy Andy, and I want you to remain very quiet!” But Raggedy Andy had an idea and he rattled the dishes and hummed a song to him self, but quite loud, so in order to think of what he was reading Mr. Gooly finally had to read out loud, and the louder he read, the more, noiso Raggedy Andy made, until finally Mr. Gooly was howling the story, very, very loud. This was just what Raggedy Andy was waiting for, so he took his knife and snipped the rope which held him to the table and in three jumps he was out of the house. Mr. Gooly, when he didn’t hear Raggedy Andy making a lot of noise, stopped read ing out loud and asked: “Is dinner ready, Raggedy Andy?” And when Raggedy And/ did not answer. Mr. Gooly picked up his cane and said: "If you do not answer wrhen I count three, I shall give you a hard thump!1* Then when he counted three and Raggedy Andy did not reply. Mr. Gooly turned and hit towards where Raggedy Andy had been tied. But, as Raggedy Andy was not there, Mr. Gooly’s cane hit the tabic leg and bounced back and cracked him right on the shin. "Wow! Oh! Wow!” Mr. Gooly howled as he hopped about. Just wait until I catch Raggedy Andy, T’ll make him feel sorry that he fooled me and escaped!” Then, because he was so very hungry, Mr. Gooly had to run over to Mr. Sanky’s house to try and get dinner, and, because the Sankys had nothing to eat either, Mr. Gooly and Mr. and Mrs. Sanky all sat down and told each other what they would do to the Raggedys when they caught them. As soon as Raggedy Andy escaped from Mr. Gooly’s house, he ran down, the path towards Mr. Sanky's house, for he thought that Mr. Sanky still had Raggedy Ann and little Walter prisoners. But what .was Raggedy Andy s surprise and delight, when, turning a bend in the path, he ran smack dab into Raggedy Ann. Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy ran into each other so hard, they both, fell over backwards, but this did not hurt either, for, being made of cloth and ctuffed with nice soft, white cotton, they did not bump their heads as little boys and girls would have done. "Well, Raggedy Ann! How did you happen to escape from Mr. and Mrs. Sanky?” Raggedy Andy asked. "And how did you happen to es cape from Mr. Gooly, Raggedy Andy?” Raggedy Ann asked. Then, when they had told of their escapes, Walter said, “1 ’spect we had better be running away from here, for I am sure the Sankys will awaken and find us gone, then they will start to follow ua! And Mr. Gooly will soon find out that you have escaped and he will start to follow you. And he may catch all of us!” "Walter is quite right!” Raggedy Ann said. “Perhaps if we can find the duck boat, we will be able to fly way up over the tree tops so the Sankys and mean Mr. Gooly will not be able to tell which way we have gone!” “Listen!” Walter whispered. "I heard something going ‘scritch scratch’ in tha bushes there! Jie you think.it is the duck boat caught again in the vine?” “You two stay here and I will see what it is!” Raggedy Andy said. , “Maybe it is Mr. Gooly, or Mr. and Mrs. Sanky sneaking up to capture us again!” So Raggedy Andy cut a large suck so that if Mr. Gooly tried to hit him with his cane, Raggedy Andy could fight a duel with him. And with tihe large stick. Raggedy Andy went through the bushes. Raggedy Andy was gone a long time, and Raggedy Ann began to wonder what had happened to him, when she suddenly felt herself seized from behind, and Walter also felt himself seized. “Aha!" Mr. Sanky and Mr. Gooly cried, for It was tihese who had cap tured Raggedy Ann and Walter. “This time you shall not escape, for we shall fasten you to the table leg with chains and then you cannot cut them with a knife.” And Mr. Sanky and Mr. Gooly started dragging Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy toward Mr. Sanky’® house. “Mrs. Sanky will be glad to see you!" Mr. Sanky said, “for sh® will make you get dinner In a hurry I can tell you!” “Oh! She will, will she?’’ Raggedy Andy cried, as he gave Mr- Sanky a crack upon the top of his hat with the large stick.
