pipe out of his mouth. "I am the

“May we watch the little Gnomes at

“Yes, indeed!" the little Gnome re-

little Gnome led the way down the lit-

lTpOn entering the door our three
friends saw a great cavern in which
hundreds of little Gnomes were work-
ing. Raggedy Ann asked one little
Gnome: “Do you ever find Wishing
Pebbles down' here beneath the
ground?" "Oh, no!" the little Gnome
replied. "All we ever find are Dia-

want to find Wishing Pebbles. you
must hunt along the banks of the
