her for a while in silence. "Mrs. Fairy, was that a true story like the
others?" he asked her at last.

"How should I know?" asked the fairy. "Do I look as though I knew
anything about rainbow children? You'd better ask Ellen McFinney; maybe
she can tell you."

"Well, I will," said Teddy. "I mean to ask her just as soon as ever I'm
well."

He did not have to wait for that, however, for the very next day his
mother told him that little Ellen had at last consented to be taken to
the hospital, and that perhaps when he saw the little girl again she
would be able to walk and run about almost like other children.



CHAPTER EIGHTH.

HARRIETT'S DREAM.

TEDDY had begged mamma to ask Harriett to come over and play with him
after school, but not to tell her that now he was no longer in bed, so
when the little girl came running in she was very much surprised. "Why,
Teddy, you're well again, aren't you?" she cried.

"Yes, now I'm well again," said Teddy "and mamma says we may each have a
little sponge-cake, and she's going to let us blow soap-bubbles. Would
you like to blow soap-bubbles, Harriett?"
