Nay" my little friends replied Kriss, edo each
of you hang pair of stockings in the chimney
corner for me, when you go to bed tonight and
when you rise in the morning, YOU will find that
krss Kringle has been there, and is grateful for
your kindness"
The children promised to do so, and returned
home. Kriss Immediately left the city and has
tened to fairy land. Arrived there, he begged an
audience with the queen.
"Ah, Kriss," exclaimed she. when he knelt be-
fore her, 'have you come for the boon promised
you? Ask what you will, and it is yours"
KriSS told her of his adventure in the city and
requested her to allow him to take suitable pres
ents from fairy-land to the good children of earth
"Take what you please, Kriss,' replied the
queen. II place all the bon-bons and TOYS in nv
dominion at your disposal. 1 know you love chill
dren; and for the sake of the kindness you have
to-day received l charge you, that tonight, and
every Christmas Eve, you shall visit every house
where good children dwell, and leave such gifts
for them suits your inclination and their good
the Frost King, to entrcat time to allow YOU TO
pass safely, at Christmas time, through his king
dom. Go now and select your presents, and
will order a carriage for you, which shall be mex
haustibly filled with them so long as gift is nee
ded."
The embassy to the Frost King was successful.
His majesty gave kriss passport through his do
minions, and promised that neither cold, wind,
rain, or snow, should harm him while on his kind
ly Grand
Late in the night Kriss started on his expedi-
ton. His chariot was the most beautiful thing
ever seen 1t was drawn by eight tiny deer and
in it was Kriss, warmly wrapped up in snowy err
mine and other costly furs. Around him were pi-
led bon-bons, candies, sweetmcats, and toys of ev-
cry description. In this state he dashed merrily
along through the air, ratified over the roofs down
the chimneys, and filled every stocking with the
most beautiful things in his possession. For the
strange children who did not expect his coming,
he left packages and boxes containing gifts.
Great was the JOY among the children when ri
sing on Christmas morning, they found their beau
tiful presents. There much wondermcnt as
TO who had left them. Fathers and mothers, grand
fathers and grandamcs, auntS and uncles, were
questioned regarding them, without satisfactory
replies. In the course of the day, however, it be-
came known through the town, how the little girls
had given their toys to Kriss Kringlc, when they
thought him poor, and how he had rewarded their
kindness.
Since then, every Christmas Eve, Kriss comes
forth from fairy land to leave presents for his lit
tic friends; and every Christmas morning he smiles
and wccps for joy, when even down to his winter
home he hears the children cry,
Kriss Kringle has come! Kriss Kringle has
come"
Little folks have often wished to see the Kind
fairy but have been unable to do so-for Kriss
does not like to be watched. He thinks it rude in
in children to try to discover what he wishes to
hide from them and if they are too inquisitve,
they do not receive any present from good Kriss
