Now, as I was saying" he went on
zone morning Sir Harry una l Were
standing in front of our residence ir
our part of the island, talking over
matters. Sir Harry was taking bath
in a wash-hand-basin-
whats that?'' asked the foreman.
'I reckon he means a wash-pan," ex-
planned Billy Hudgens.
AT least, Sir Harry was making 2
deuce of a row with the soap, and
he'd a wash-hand-basin quite full OF
bubbles. Just then the King of Gee
Whiz came by and CHANGED to notice
the bubbles. You should have seen his
expression!
you must remember he'd never seen
a bit of soap in all his life; no one
who has been without it--like the king
and myself-can tell what that means.
He was completely infatuated with
the bubbles. In short, he valued them,
at once, far more than all the gold in
the valley; and he wound up by telling
us fat that so long as We could make
bubbles for him, there would be no sac

fore him every day and make these
bubbles-Sir Harry showed him how
to do 1t with his pipe-every morning
and afternoon.
After he'd gone, Sir Harry and I
looked at each other. It's death or
bubbles said he to me. I pointed out
to him that it was either death or no
bath. He was much shocked. Evil

our soap was already very near ex-

Said he to me: While there Is soap
there is life,' meaning to say, you see,
that while there was life there was
hope, ha, ha"
Leave that OUT said the foreman.
Go on
Precisely. Things went thus for
week, and Sir Harry and I We're most
over the situation. 1t was at
this time there occurred a shipwreck

There went ashore on the island the
private yacht OF gentleman WnoH
