When they wish that they might coast down a mountain, ho declares iney snan have their tcish and blows a whistle.) CHAPTER II Prince Bonnie Blue Bell AGAIN tho raggedy chap -blew his whistle a shrill blast that stirred the echoes In tho hills, that searched deep Into the woods. For a few moments thero seemed to be no response: then Peggy's alert ears caught a soft, padding sound. The sound grew to a rustling, and then to a thud ding, as white Bhapes came pounding over the snow through tho dusk of early cenlng. Itabblts! AVhlto Itabblts!" exclaimed Billy Belgium. "We nro here at your service, Trlnce Bonnie Blue Bell," ho squeaked. Peggy and Billy Belgium gasped In surprise. They hadn't tho slightest 'idea that the raggedy chap was anything clo than what he appeared a forlorn, lonesome little lad, who was shunned by other children becauso of his tattered clothes. They necr thought that he might be a prince In disguise. " 'TIs well, Silver Toes '." answered the raggedy chap. "Wo wish to travel BWlft bh tho wind to tho mountains, and then on, on to the ery top. Hitch your troop to our royal sleigh " "Your word Is lax. Prince Bonnlo Blue Bell," replied Silver Toes In his queer squcak.'Turnlng, he gave quick orders to tho other rabbits. In a moment they had ranged themselves nlong tho sled rope and harnessed themselves to It with long cords. "Tho royal sleigh awaits." salrt rnnce Bonnie Blue Bell, waving Peggy and Billy Belgium toward thr bobs. "Arc you really a prince?" stammered Peggy. "Vour name sounds like a flower, added Billy. "I am a prince of tho Wild Flower Elves," was tho answer. "My homo Is In tho Woodland Dolls." "But what are you doing hero In dis guise?" blurted Billy. "Oh, It was dull In the hollow log nhero I was sleeping, so I .thought I'd come out for a llttlo fun. But tho chil dren were not a bit nlco to me." "They didn't know you wcro a prince." oplalncd Peggy. "You were droned llko a poor llttlo boy." "How foolish I" exclaimed Prince Bon nlo Blue Bell. f'Why didn't they look at mo Instead of at my clothes. But you wero nice to me, and now you'll have your wish,. Hop on." Peggy and Billy obeyed Instantly. Prince Bonnlo BUio Bell took his place at tho steering wheel. "Awnyl Awayl" he shouted. And away, away went the Itabblts, Jerking tho bobs behind them. At tho flrst jerk Peggy and Billy heard the chlmo of slolgh belts. Quickly the Jangle of the bills mounted to a loud. musical chorus. Tho belts wore on the Itabblts, and they wcro playing a Jolly tune. Soon the level ground was left behind and tho Babbits began to climb up, up, up. A brilliant winter moon rose oer the horizon, and by Its silvery light, they saw that they wcro ascending a steep mountain. They mounted swiftly above the farm lands, and then came to a heavy pine forest. "Fast, fast'" warned Prince Bonnie Blue Bell, looking anxiously toward the forest. "We must rwt fall Into the hands of, tho Sleep Gnomes!" Peggy thought she saw fantastic forms dodging about among the tree and" pointing gleefully toward tho-flying bobs. Then the speeding Itabblts bUrst, out bf tho forest and raced across the snowy wastes toward die mountain peak. (tn tomorrow's ckaptert Ttaov ! Billy again are warned to betonre 0 the Bleep .
