"As they stood there they noticed that a path led far in behind the falling stream, and that the ledge over which this wonder of nature poured its wealth of golden beauty was a peculiar rock crystal, quite similar to that which ornamented the beautiful glen through which they had passed before entering the Enchanted Cave. "Arthur's inquisitive nature was awake and ready. He proceeded to test the tall ledge with the blade of his pen knife, when, as he placed a shattered bit of the rock to his lips, he shouted aloud to his sister: "'Oh, Maudie, this ledge of rock is Rock Candy!' Then placing the remaining piece in his mouth, he rushed into the arms of the Queen to tell her of his surprising discovery. "Long formations of varying sizes and color were hanging everywhere; and the children understood at a glance that this was the place where Santa Claus gets all the stick candy with which he is so generous at Christmas time. The sticks hung wherever a crevice or crack appeared in the ledge, and no sooner was one broken off than another began to form in its place at once. "As they stepped forward to get a better view behind the falling torrent, they could see dozens of busy brownies breaking off the sticks and carefully packing them in long paper boxes, which others were carrying to the store house that stood on the towering brink above. "The Queen led them beyond the group of busy workers, when, looking up at the ledge over which the cataract hung like a graceful veil, they saw the following lines carved deep in the rock far above their heads. They paused and with some difficulty, read these lines. "'Sweet Taffy River, with its eddies wild, Comes dancing onward like a playful child, Till from this towering ledge, with face aglow, It bounds, delighted, to Lake Fudge below.' "They returned then to the high rock, and the children were surprised to see a great army of dolls moving rapidly toward the lake. The dolls were romping and chatting as they hurried along, but all seemed to have the same purpose in view for they were headed toward a certain point on the shore. "Both Arthur and Maud were nearly crazy to join them, but the Queen wanted to go up on the high rock again, and, as the will of the Queen was the law of the land, up the high rock they went. "They paused for a moment to look down on the great Kimbo, and laughed merrily when they saw he was still fast asleep. "'Don't disturb him,' said the Queen in a low tone, as she assisted the children up the path to the top of the rock. "Shout after shout arose from the crowd of dolls gathered upon the shore; and as their merry voices shook the air and resounded far over the lake, Maud inquired of the Queen the cause of their presence and the unusual tumult they were raising.
