Mr. lliil > N mill Illn Ilulililo.
The ohlldren htood watching Mr. Bobs at
tentively , their attitude betraying their cu-
rloalty to see how Mr. Bobs could convince
them that there were smarter men than
Aaron In that neighborhood , and doubtful of
his ability to do so. It was plain that Mr.
Bobs himself did not share their doubts.
Ho was l i no hurry , and yet there was no
delay In his movements ; lie was slow but
methodical. He knocked the ashes from his
plpo and carefully cleaned It out with his
pocket knife , blowing through the stem to
clear away nil particles of tdbacco. This
done , ho laid the plpo carefully on the step
besldo him , reache < l Into the room behind
him , and drew forth a washpan that seemed
< to bo a llttlo more than half full of t-oapy
water. There was also In the pan a small

wooden paddle. With this Mr. Robs whipped
the fcoapy water gently , and the children i
noticed that Instixid of breaking Into a
foamy mass of bubbles , as soapy water does , i
tbreo or four Inrgo bubbles appeared ,
This result scuiniM to bo unsatisfactory
to 'Mr. Bobs , Ilu draw forth from an Inside
pocket of his coat a largo leather or mo
rocco pocUetbook , and began to search '
through Its various compartments. Ho finally
found what ho 'was Bearchlng for a llttlo '
paper packet , wrapped round and round '
with 7iiany ynrds of white sowing thread.
This thmul Mr. Hobs unwound very caro- ;
fully. Then , unfolding the paper , he took
therefrom the merest pinch of white powder ;
and Illrtrd U Into the pan of water from 1
his fingers ,
"I reckon you'll work now , plague on '
you ! " he exclaimed ,
At this Juncture Miss Elvlry came out , i
wondering what the children were doing. I
Watching the manipulations of her brother ,
she laughed uneasily , saying : "You may
thank your stars there ain't no law agin ,
i witchcraft In this part of the country. That's j
I all that keeps 'em .from strlngln1 you up. " |
"Where's any witchcraft ? " Inquired Mr. j
I Bobs Indignantly. "I'm Jest ashowln't t
these youngsters a trick that I larntrom
that there gypsy 'oman the ono that kyored j
your rheumatlz. " j
"Well , " remarked Miss Elvlry , "when
folks do somcthln' now an' quare they >
alters lly ( back to conjuration to account .
for It. " j
! , "I don't keer where they fly , " said Mr. I
i ' Bobs , "so long as they don't lly at me. "
, And , as It to show that he really didn't |
j I care , ho seized the wooden paddle and be- '
J i gan to whip the water again. This time all
\ the bubbles disappeared save one , and the ,
more Mr. Bobs whipped the water the larger
It grow. Presently ho placed the pan on a
largo block the butt-cut of a poplar tree
which served sometimes as a table and
( sometimes as the work bench and con-
tlnued to whip the water , the bubble firow-
Ing larger and larger nil the while. Occa
sionally he poked his paddle Into the bubble
and withdrew It quickly , as If to test Its
consistency. The children could sco the
paddle go Into the bubble and sec It como
out , but tbo bubble Itself remained Intact
and continued to cxp.ind.
"You sco dat , don't you ? " exclaimed
Drusllla. The 'bubble ' was now as tall as
the tallest of the children and largo around
in proportion.
Mr. Bobs took his plpo. Inserted It In the
bubble nt the edge of the pan and be < ; an to
blow with nil his might. This ho did at
tihort Intervals until all the water In the
pan seemed to bo exhausted. Then , with the
stem of the plpo still In his mouth , ho took
the paddle and carefully scraped the bubble
from thu cdgo of the pan and by a deft mo
tion of his hand moved the pan entirely.
That was cerlalnly n sight for the children
to BOO a bubble aa high anil as big HH a
small house , swaying gently In the sunlight
and showing forth all the colois of the rain
bow. It was very wonderful Indeed , and
Sweetest Susan wa quick to dcclnra that
she hail never before seen anything as beau

Mr. Bolxi seemed to bo very much gratified
at this. " 'Tnln't the best I can do , " he ex
plained. "I'd have to make a dozen or more

. good enough. Ef you find anybody 'round
hero what can build n bubble that won't biut
I nor lloat off , why , Jest ax 'em to dn it , that's
all. No , " .ho declared , "that ain't all ,
nuther. "
Ho took a small leaf and laid It on the
oltlo of the bubble. Instantly It began tn
, rotate and travel In n small circle , drawing
after It , as It seemed , the must beautiful
shades of green and gold and put pie. It
ecnmrd Indeed to ho the center of an Irrl-
descent whirlpool and the children ctooj
gazing nt It with open mptiths and eye .
! The glistening colors appealed strongly to
j Drusllla. "Ef you could hear' brasj bands

1 lack much or belli' a whole circus. "
Mr. Bobs walked around the bubble and

examined It critically , smoothing It with his
wooden , paddle.
"I'm Jest a-feelln' 'round fer to find whar
the door Is , " ho explained. Apparently ho
soon found it , for he spoke to Buster John.
"Come on , " ho said ; "Jump right In. " The
youngster hesitated for an Instant , but his
surroundings gave him assurance. ' 'Walk
right In , " Mr. Bobs Insisted , and gave a
quick flirt with the paddle as Buster John
touched the bubble a quick flirt with the
paddle , and Sweetest Susan and Drusllla saw
Buster John disappear , swallowed up , as It
were , "by " the bubble.
"Now , then , " said Mr. Bobs , waving his
paddle on high , "como on , an' In wT you !
There , plunge right In ! "
Sweetest Susan went forward timidly. "Is
It going to fly away with us , Mr. Bobs ? " f > ho
asked. She had already experienced one
adventure that was not pleasing to think of.
"Why , what Idees you've got , honey ! "
exclaimed Mr. Bobs. "How can a bubble fly
away with you children on the inside ? You
might as well ax mo ef a crow can fly away
wl' a halo of cotton. "
"But this bubble Is different from other
bubbles , " suggested Sweetest Susan.
"It Is ; It shore Is , " assented Mr. Bobs ; "It
shore Is , fer I made It myself. But , In wl'
you ; don't let your buddy git lonesome. "
Sweetest Susan was still a little afraid ,
but she went forward all the same , and the
bubble seemed to swallow her Just as It had
wallowed Buster John.
Mr. Bobs now turned to Drusllla. "Como
on , ef you're a-comln' . " |
"I ain't bloedzo ter go In dar , Is I ? " she
asked.
"Go In , or stay out ; It's all ono to mo.
Come ! Talk out ! Which Is It. It'll do you
no good to go In , ncr no harm , nuther. "
Druallla hesitated a moment , just n mo
ment , and then she went to the bubble.
"I don't want none er dat ar soapsuds ter ;
git In my eyes , " she remarked with a j |
ulilvor.
"Shct your eyes , then , " said Mr. Bobs. I i i

'breath. Then , with a whiff of dampness on
i her face , she found herself inside the bubble.
j She turned tn goo whcru and liow she got
I In , but she was so surprised at the view
' that presented Itself that she fairly gasped
'with aaunishment. Away off In the dls-

Ins house ; and that , tcb , was upilJc down.

limue an 1 Its surroundings , Including Mr.
Bobs ! > i-Femed a picture not large : than
your thumbnail.
"t di 'n" ' know I wuz seen a mighty
Jumper , " she said to herself.
Then Bbo looked around for Buster John
uiU Swe. Kit Susan , and saw them ewe
distance away. They were evidently ns
much puzzled as she was. The bubble no
longer seemed to bo a bubble. Viewed from
'tha outside , It had appeared to be no larger
than a small house. In the Inside , however ,
as Drusllla remarked , It was as big as all
outdoors. They walked about timidly at
first for fear of breaking the bubble , but
they soon forgot all about that precaution.
They seemed to bo In a wide and perfectly
level field a field with a shining floor.
Over tills floor the many-hued colors of the
rainbow chased one another Incessantly ,
wriggling , twisting , whirling. The children
watched this display until Drusllla made a
remark that had astonishing requite.
"I know whar wo at , " she said ; "dish ycr
place 'Is ' whar dcy makes rainbows. You kin
bee um plattin' um now. "
At this both Buster John and Sweetest
Susan laughed aloud , whereupon the rain
bow colors seemed to be shattered Into
the bubblo-Ecapc. And while the shimmer
ing , seething , whirling , rainbow colors were
beautiful to behold , they began to add to
the confusion after a while.
In the midst of It all , Drusllla sneezed , nijt
once , but twice. She tried hard to keep the
sneezes back , to "hoi1 'cm Jn , " as f > ho said ,
but they had to come , and when they did
como , they seemed to shake the foundation of
things , and the sound of 10,000 sneezes waa
he : rd In the air. The two EUDS overhead
reeicd and shook and whirled about each
other , and the colors whirled In the floor
till HIP - i'it all FPtrbhince nf proportion.
And ' i ) while wfi"lnii for ( his 't ' vista-
{ tlou t < > otcp luelf , the dilldren saw a Halo
woman come gliding toward them , followed
by a swarm of smaller figures.
"We're gone now , " exclaimed Drusllla ex
citedly , "We done stirred um up. Wo better
make a break nn1 git out er hero To' dey
Jump on us nn' git us down. "
But somehow , neither Buster John nor
Sweetest Susan was frightened. There was
nothing alarming about these little people If
people they were. The llttlo woman , who
seemed to be the leader , WOP not ugly at all.
If eho had been an old crone with a yellow
tooth , the children might have felt some
uneasiness , but her appearance was very
pleasing , although she seemed to bo some
what weary. And all the smaller ones that
came after her seemed to bo solemn and
weary. But they were not too weary to form
| [ themselves In a ring , of which the children
wore the center , and go marching around ,
singing a eong of complaint. Their voices
were not strong and It was all the children
could do to catch a few of the words of the
song. A part of It was as follows :
"If you stay nwakfa while you sleep ,
You will llnd that the whole Isn't half ;
AT THIS THE CHILDREN TURNED AND RAN.
I thousands of fragments , and they ran about
j on the floor , shaken Into all sorts of dls-
; turhcd shapes. Almost as curious as this
bpcctacle were the wonderful echoes that
took up the sound of the children's laughter ,
carrying tt away and bringing It back again
In greater volume. A thousand children
seemed to bo laughing , sometimes close at
hand and then far away.
Drusllla was alarmed. "I done tol' you-all
'bout puttln * yo' heads In all kinder holes
nn' traps , " she sold under her breath. "You
may call dls a bubble ef you wantcr , but
'taln't no mo' a ljubblo dan I'm a nubble ,
Look over yn' head ; does yo' see any bub-
bio skin er frame , er hide , er whatsomever
you may call It ? No , you don't. 'Stlddcr

wan't. gwino let yo' drag me In no mo'
places. An' ylt , here I Ja ! You done drag
mo In here , an' now yo' got tor drag mo out
of I over Is ter git out. "
"Why , there's nothing to do but to break
the bubble , " Buster John stoutly asserted ,
"Show mo wbar dey's any bubble , " cried ] '
Urusilla. "Yo' don't sco none , an' I don't
ECO none. We'ro In a rainbow fact'ry , an'
wo better git out fo' it thunders ,
Drusilla's considerations led the children
to look around them moro carefully than
they had done , and even Buster John was
compelled to admit that ho coul J ! see nothing
like the walls of a bubble , If walls they may
bu called. j f
One fact that disturbed them moro than I
any other was that they could sco no horizon I ,
line. The horizon exists only In the Im-1 I
agination , but It plays a very Important part |
In our actual experience. It provides a ! '
boundary , a limit. But it was absent now , ! i
and Us absence , together with the fact that |
two separate and distinct suns appeared to i
be shining overhead gave n weird aspect
to this new landscape , or. to bn mnrn pirnr .
j You will find It Is funny to weep ,
And awfully solemn to laugh.
Oh , hear one cause of complaint
It 'tis. It 'twas , It 'taln't ! "
"I tell you dey got us ! " said Drusllla In
a low tone. "Doy ain't no scnso In what.
dey slngin' . Dey er nil ravin' crazy. Look |
i
at um , how dey waggle dey heads an' wobi i
bio 'bout when dey walk ! Doy eho is got j j
uu ! "
When the song , If such It could t > o called , |
was done , the little woman came toward the j i
children. Her attitude was not threatening ,
but Drusllla made haste to get behind her
companions.
"You don't Hoera to know mo , " the llttlo
woman said.
"No , wo don't. Who are you ? " asked
Sweetest Susan.
"I'm the Queen of Dreams , " replied the
other.
"Are we dreaming now ? " Buster John
asked somewhat 'bluntly. '
"How could that bo ? " said the Queen of
Dreams. "You are not asleep , and wo are
only hero because of a hldoaus nolso uo
heard , We wore asleep. Do you think WB
'should be disturbed In our own kingdom ?
Wo can't help ounselves at tlil moment , but
do you think it IH right to Invade our terri
tory ? "
"WJiat she talkln' 'bout ? " asked Drusllla
In a whisper. "Who been 'vadlu' any tcr'y-
tory ? "
"Why , Mr. Bobs made thU bubble for us , "
Duster John explained.
The Queen of Dreama seemed to be puz-
zled. "What U a bubble ? " she asked.
"Why , a bubble a bubble Is well , a hub-
bio Is a piece of eoapsiids Into which air has
been blown , " replied Sweetest Susan , soroc-
what doubtfully.
"How big a piece , and how much air la
necesaary to make a bubble ? " Inquired tao
Queen of Dreams.
"I'm sure I don't know , " reepondcd Sweet
est Suean. "Bubbles are of all sizes ; but
this ono Is the largest I ever BOW. "
"Which Ono ? " The Queen of Dreams was
a very persistent seeker after Information.
"Tho "bubblo wo are In now , " explained
Sweetest Susan.
The Queen of Dreams Shook her head
and frowned slightly. At this Druallla
nudged Buster John , ami remarked .In a
wblspor : "I done tol' you we ain't got no
business In hero ef wo Is In here. Dem are
creeturs ' 11 she * do us damage. "
But the Queen of Dreams was not angry ;
eho was only puzzled. In a little while who
tried to make herself very pleasant. She
seemed to bo very proud of her subjects.
Sbo paraded them before the chfidren and
called off Ihelr names , There were Mince
Pie Dream , and his twin brother , Fruit Cake
Dream , and Mufllu ami Wafllcs , and Green
Applu Dreams , und ever to many more.
While the Queen of Dreams was describing
the hoautlcs of her dyspeptic subjects , Dru
sllla saw coming toward them the most
horrible-looking object Imaginable. She
trlod to warn the others , but she couldn't
speak. She could only point her finger and
nod her head. The creature- seemed to bo as
big around the body as a horse. Its fore
legs were short , whllo Its hlndlcgs were
long , so that In crawling along the ground
as It was now doing , It seemed to ho
crouching as If ready to spring. It had two
tails longer than an alligator's body , and Us
head was as big as n. barrel and shaped
something like that of a hippopotamus. But
Its cars were long as these of a mule ; Its
eyes were largo and green , and , when It
' gaped , the Insldo of Us mouth was as red
as red llauncl.
Seeing the children huddled together In a
stupefying fright the Queen of Dreams told
them they had nothlue to fear. "It's no
body but poor old Nightmare. He was out
all last night and worked hard at bis busi
ness. Ho should bo resting now , but the ]
poor thing gets lonely when he opens ono ,
eye and finds us gone. Ho's a great pet of
mine. Come , tlcklo his car and ECO him
open his mouth and growl. "
At this Drusllla turned and ran , and the
children after her , and the next moment
they were standing , panting for breath ,
close to Mr. Bobs , who was calmly sharpen
ing his tools on an oil stone.
"I clean forgot to tell you not to slay In j
'
there too long , " he remarked. "Folks must
have fresh air , and you can't git that In a
'bubble. ' But ef you say the word I'll blow ! '
you up a bigger one an' you can stay In It
longer. "
But the children shook their heads and
thanked him. They didn't want any moro
bubbles that day. |
"You better lo'mo make you a good big
'un , " Mr. Bobs 'insisted. ' "I 'most know
the nigger gal there would like to bo In a | '
great big 'un. " '
"Humph ! You don't know mo , den , "
said Drusllla with some bluntncss. "Dem
what likes bubbles can git In um an' stay
In um fer what I Iteer. All I'm skcered
un Is dat I'll git In um In my dreams. Ef I
does evo'y hair iln my hald'll bo gray do
nex' time you see me. "
At this Mr. Bobs fell to laughing , and ho
laughed so long and BO loudly that Miss
Elvlry came to the door to see what the
matter was.
"Why , what In the world ? " she exclaimed.
"I'm jest laughln' at that gal there , " Mr.
Bobs explained , when he could control him
self. "Sho went into the bubble along wl'
the others. "
"Why will you go on that away ? An' at
your age , too. It's a plum' shame ! " ex
claimed his sister.
"Why , Elvlry , ten year from now these
youngsters wouldn't take a hundred dollars
for what they've saw today. "
And no doubt this was trim so far as
BiiHtcr John and Sweetest Susan were con
cerned ; but with Drusllla , It was different.
For many months she was filled with In
dignation toward Mr. Bobs , and it was many
months more before aho could bo Induced to
go out of the house nlono nt night. Even
then she would say : "Kf you want mo ter
go , you better gl' me bottle er some kinder
modlcln' , kazo ef I meet dat Thing out dar
I'll have ten fits 'fo' you kin ax mowhat do
matter. "
