tried to remedy his engine trouble, a
thin trlcklo of gasoline escnped nnd

"THE SLEEPY GNOMES"
(I'cggu o"d Utlt) Belgium, coasting
on Billy's new bobs, give a ride to a
, forlorn little raggedy chap. 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 . Gnomes.)
