it was!
"Win we pass the rainbow" BREATH
lessly asked the lad
1.-THE rainbow is the entrance to
fairyland," announced the elf. 1--WE will
be there in no time"
How fast they were going! And how
large the rainbow was! These and
many more thoughts passed through
the boys mind.
The car or boat gave jolt, and Jack
saw they were in fairyland. And what
beautiful flowers he saw. He walked
beside the elf like one in a dream.
The queen was very kind and went
with him through part of fairyland.
Every flower was kind deed or
thought; so said the queen.
you were so good and always had
hopes of seeing fairyland, that 1 just
had to send for you," said the queen.
Jackie never heard such sweet music or
ate such good things as he did there
When the day was ending, the queen
said to Jack, Il must send you home,
because your mother may miss you.
You have been so good that Will send
fer you many times"
So the elf rode Jack back and he
quietly slid into bed.

No sooner had the fairy spoken
these words than Jack was in the boat
with him. Then he touched him with
his wand and he was arrayed in a
pretty seaweed costume just like the
one the fairy wore. There was the
coziest little seat all lined with satin
and the fairy told Jack to sit down
and then the boat started off.
Soon the fairy asked Jack if he was
enjoying his ride and Jack said:
'Yes, but aren't we going to go to
fairyland?"
mo, not this time, because the fairy
king is in very bad temper and won't
allow any one to come into the land"
At this Jack felt very sorry. Neither
said anything until an old fish put
his head out Of the water and said:
Good evening, fairy fly. Lovely
evening, isn't it?"
The fairy recognized his voice and
said:
"Oh, what's that? Good evening.
Yes, it is a very lovely evening"
You can imagine Jacks surprise
when he heard the fish talk, for he had
never in his life heard a fish talk be-
fore.
They went on a little farther and
they saw great big fat frog, and his
lady frog spooning on pond lily lear.
When the fairy saw them he said:
"Ho, ho, spooning again, eh?'
They went on a little farther and the
fairy waved his wand and there was
a little table all set for just two. On
the table was ice cream with frozen
strawberries and little cakes.
They ate the lunch, then the fairy
waved his wand and it disappeared.
The fairy then told Jackie he would
take him home and they would go
boating again some day,
Next morning Jack told of his adj
venture and he was satisfied then for
while. Your niece,

Jack quickly dressed, ran out to the
boat and jumped in. The fairy rode
away until they were about three miles
out to sea. Here they found that the
water opened up and closed over them.
"Oh,'' said Jack, "I shall be drowned"
mo, you won't" said the fairy,
"for 1 have the power to make people
breathe under water"
"Oh, this is great" calculated Jack.
Down, down, and down they went,
till they came to the bottom of the
sea.
This is my palace said the fairy
at is called fairy land. Come in
In went Jack, and there he found
everything for a boy to have fun with.
Help yourself" said the fairy. Here
is sack and you can put what you
want in it,"
Jack filed the sack full of everything
he could get.
''Now, / want to go home,' said
Jack.
"An right" said the fairy. Follow
me-"
Up, up, up; they went tilP they got
to where they had come in.
Jack! Jack! get up quick, it's z
o'clock now"
"Aw, what did you wake me up for?
I had a whole sack full of everything.
Now it's all gone.'

OF course Jack needed no second
call. He was out of bed in minute
and all dressed. He ran out to the
boat and fairy.
