had ever done before. Indeed, some of
them were put on wrongside out. Then
he tip-toed downstairs as quietly as a
mouse would, and stepped out into the
garden.
High up In the sky the moon cleaned
so brightly that 1t almost seemed like
daylight as Tommy stood there.
Where are you, Prince Handsome?" he
called after standing a moment and not
seeing anyone.

tree. Dom be afraid. Come right along.
1 want you to see my ugly auto"
So Tommy quickly stepped over behind
the tree, wondering all the time what
the handsome prince and the ugly auto
looked like.
And wha do you suppose that Tommy
saw behind the tree? Why, the most
beautiful little auto touring car thai he
beauty. There 1t stood, glistening In the
moonlight, a perfect little automobile in
every way.
Each part OF it except the seats was
single diamond that flashed and cleaned
more brightly than a thousand electric
lights. The seats were covered with yell
low silk, the color of the golden car.
And Prince Handsomei Tommy could
scarcely keep from laughing at him, he

as Tommy was, but with the biggest
head that you ever saw in all your life.
Indeed, the princes head was as large as
half a barrel and decidedly larger h
all the rest Of his body.
His eyes were the size of dinner plates,
and were of a golden color, while his arms
and legs were no larger than pipestems.
But you ought to have seen his clothes.
They were fairly covered with big diamond
buttons.
Standing there smiling Tommy thought
that If the prince was really considered
handsome in his country he'd like to see
some of the ugly people,
Come on, let's be going. We have
a long distance to travel, but 1t won't
take us long to make the trip" Then,
quicker than lightning, as soon as the
two were seated, the car dashed up into
the sky, and was on its way to the golden
world.
How they did travel! Tommy and the
prince held on tightly, though, and talked
as they flew along.
Where is the Golden World, and are
there many people there?' Tommy asked.
Hundreds and hundreds of thousands
of them, Tommy, and my father rules
over them all. He is called King Lovely,
and his subjects fairly worship him. You
see, it is the custom of the people OF the
Golden World to lave the smartest men
those having the most brains, to rule the
country. Now, my father Is by far the
wisest man living in our land. Why, his

"You shall have that pleasure now with

"I sent a wireless message to let him
know that you were coming with me &c

there will be Quite a reception when yot

Suddenly an immense ball-shaped coun

appeared just before them. 1t glitterec

them.

it's certainly the Golden World, the king

speaking the auto ds shed up to the throne
and stopped so suddenly that Tommy ard
Prince Handsome pitched out, head over

helping Tommy to his feet.
THANK you for our kindness, yo1r
majesty" Tommy replied as soon as he
could catch his breath. "Im very happy
to be able to visit you and see your
valuable country"
And I'm delighted to have you," said
the king, whose hend was as large as n
hogshead, reached over TO a golden table
that stood near and picking up a mag
nificent golden comb and hairbrush, that
Tommy knew must be worth a pile of
money, handed 1t to him, saying:
Accept these, Tommy, as a slight token
of my esteem, and keep them always in
remembrance of your visit to my king
DOM
Filled with delight at receiving such a
fin present Tommy thanked the king
and put them carefully away in his
pocket. He then turned around to speak
to Prince Handsome, when-what do you
think?
Why. standing alongside of him was his
mother, and instead of being in the
Golden World he was leaning on the
window sill of his own little room on earth.
The sun was shining in the window, and
Tommy felt so cramped and tired that he
could scarcely walk.
Goodness, Tommy. what are you doing
up so early In the morning-dressed, too %
Mamma, I've been to the Golden
World with Prince Handsome. It's a beau

fine presents"
"Nonsense, Tommy Dreamland is the
land you've been visiting. Walking in
your sleep again."

But guess what Tommy really showed
his mamma?
Why, nothing on earth but his own 1T
