ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Barton Roberts One morning Mister Tatters, the little Ragey Man, looked out of his window in Ragsy Land (which was under the ground, you know) and saw something. Something that hadn't been there the day or two before. He looked again. Indeed, to make quite sure, he looked three times. And finally he took off his nightie ran out of his little house and went over to the something and looked right at it. ‘ “Ye ! As syre as you're born, that's it,” he nodded talking to no one at all. For it was early and none of the little Ragsies or either of the Twins were awake yet. “Yes, sir!

At that every one of the Ragsies jumped out of bed and into their coaties and flew out to see what Mis- ter Tatters wanted. And you may be sure Nancy and Nick were there first. i “What is it ked Nick breath- lessly. “Is something hurt?" “Something will be,” said Mister Tatters, “if we don't get to work at once.
