of the world at this season, and he has to set his rainbow in a lot of
different places. What would you advise me to do, Dorothy?"

"Come with us," was the answer. "I'm going to try to find my way to
the Emerald City, which is in the fairy Land of Oz. The Emerald City
is ruled by a friend of mine, the Princess Ozma, and if we can manage
to get there I'm sure she will know a way to send you home to your
father again."

"Do you really think so?" asked Polychrome, anxiously.

"I'm pretty sure."

"Then I'll go with you," said the little maid; "for travel will help
keep me warm, and father can find me in one part of the world as well
as another--if he gets time to look for me."

"Come along, then," said the shaggy man, cheerfully; and they started
on once more. Polly walked beside Dorothy a while, holding her new
friend's hand as if she feared to let it go; but her nature seemed as
light and buoyant as her fleecy robes, for suddenly she darted ahead
and whirled round in a giddy dance. Then she tripped back to them
with sparkling eyes and smiling cheeks, having regained her usual
happy mood and forgotten all her worry about being lost.

They found her a charming companion, and her dancing and laughter--
for she laughed at times like the tinkling of a silver bell--did much
to enliven their journey and keep them contented.
