d
tugging it was finally dragged up into the nursery, where a window faced
out toward the street.

Then, just as a little boy and a little girl, who looked as though they
did not ever have much candy, passed the house, the dolls all gave a
push and sent the bag tumbling to the sidewalk.

The two children laughed and shouted, "Thank you," when they saw that
the bag contained candy, and the dolls, peeping from behind the lace
curtains, watched the two happy faced children eating the taffy as they
skipped down the street.

When the children had passed out of sight, the dolls climbed down from
the window.

"That was lots of fun!" said the French doll, as she smoothed her skirts
and sat down beside Raggedy Andy.

"I believe Raggedy Andy must have a candy heart too, like Raggedy Ann!"
said Uncle Clem.

"No!" Raggedy Andy answered, "I'm just stuffed with white cotton and I
have no candy heart, but some day perhaps I shall have!"

"A candy heart is very nice!" Raggedy Ann said. (You know, she had one.)
"But one can be just as nice and happy and full of sunshine without a
candy heart."

"I almost forgot to tell you," said Raggedy Andy, "that when pieces of
taffy are wrapped in little pieces of paper, just as we wrapped them,
they are called 'Kisses'."

THE RABBIT CHASE

"Well, what shall we play tonight?" asked Henny, the Dutch doll, when

Raggedy Andy was just about to suggest a good game, when Fido, who
sometimes slept in a basket in the nursery, growled.

All the dollies looked in his direction.

Fido was standing up with his ears sticking as straight in the air as
loppy silken puppy dog ears can stick up.

"He must have been dreaming!" said Raggedy Andy.

"No, I wasn't dreaming!" Fido answered. "I heard something go, 'Scratch!
Scratch!' as plain as I hear you!"

"Where did the sound come from, Fido?" Raggedy Andy asked when he saw
that Fido really was wide awake.

"From outside somewhere!" Fido answered. "And if I could get out without
disturbing all the folks, I'd run out and see what it might be! Perhaps
I had better bark!"

"Please do not bark!" Raggedy Andy cried as he put his rag arm around
Fido's nose. "You will awaken everybody in the house. We can open a door
or a window for you and let you out, if you
