CHAPTER iii
The Wall OF Fire

DILLY BELGIUM hoped that the
- Frost Imps would not give chase.
but the hope was in vain. As he looked
back he saw that they were in full pur-
suit The White Rabbits raced over the
ground at automobile speed, but the
Frost Imps travelled just as fast, and in
few minutes they seemed TO be gaining.
Peggy and Prince Bonnie Blue Bell
were frozen stiff and ratified about in
the chariot like n couple OF cakes Of
ice Billy had n hard time keeping them
from tumbling out. He was afraid that
II they weren't thawed in hurry, they
would perish.
Nearer and nearer came the Frost
Tmps, running like a pack of wolves.
Billy urged the Rabbits to greater speed
1T would never do to fall again into
the hands of the icy foes Peggy and
Prince Bonnie Blue Bell could not stand
another chilling, pinch. But the Rab-
bits were going at their swiftest pace.
They we're not able to outrun the Frost
1mps.
Billy thought fast. " they couldn't
race away from the Frost lmps perhaps
they could escape some other way. He
looked for house, but there YVES none
in sight. The only thing that offered
possible shelter was a large brush heap
far ahead
II the Frost lmps were wolves, Billy
thought It might be possible TO keep
them away by setting the brush on
fire. Billy had heard Of travellers and
