"Have they, really?" asked Marjorie, growing interested. "Well, what is the name of this one?" and she held up her arm to which the ugly little fellow was still clinging.

"Don't you know?" asked the Dream, with a funny grin.

"Yes," said the Dream, nodding his head several times, "that is his name. Do you like him?"

"No," said Marjorie, "I don't. But how did he happen to catch hold of me just then?"

The Dream glanced toward the very pretty little girl, and Marjorie followed his gaze.

"Oh-h-h!" she said again, her face flushing. Just then the wind fluttered the bright hair once more and the dwarf bit her sharply upon the hand.
