world at this season, and he has to set his rainbow in a lot of different places.

"
Come with us," was the answer. "I'm going to try to find my way to the

Do you really think so?" asked Polychrome, anxiously.
I'm pretty sure."
Then I'll go with you," said the little maid; "for travel will help keep me warm,
and father can find me in one part of the world as well as another--if he gets
time to look for me."
"
Come along, then," said the shaggy man, cheerfully; and they started on once
more. Polly walked beside Dorothy a while, holding her new friend's hand as
if she feared to let it go; but her nature seemed as light and buoyant as her
fleecy robes, for suddenly she darted ahead and whirled round in a giddy
dance. Then she tripped back to them with sparkling eyes and smiling
cheeks, having regained her usual happy mood and forgotten all her worry
about being lost.
They found her a charming companion, and her dancing and laughter--for she
laughed at times like the tinkling of a silver bell--did much to enliven their
journey and keep them contented.
