and the kingdom ruled by Huberts
father After the king had kissed his
wife and son goodby, and left Tor the
war the queen was surprised that
Hubert did not express a wish to go
along.
That night after Hubert was in bed
he heard somebody call his name
Looking down he saw the angora cat
at his bedside.
Now is your time to help" said the
cat. "Get up and put on this suit
OF armor. then you will be invisible.
Your steed is waiting for you. AT mid
night tonight the enemy is planning
to steal upon your fathers army and
kill the men, but you can prevent 1t.
Anything you wish for to help you
will be granted, and I will be at your
side. Remember, you are Invisible
Follow me"
Hubert followed the cat out into
the court where stood a fiery steed
all saddled and bridled. Jumping on
it they galloped away.
They got to the scene Of the fight
just as the enemy was stealing up
But the kings army was on guard and
Immediately the soldiers were out
ready to fight. When the first shot
sounded the cat said. Reach out and
knock them off their horses"
"But how can II" asked Hubert.
"Try it and see" said the cat. and
Hubert was amazed to see his arm
shoot out and he picked everyone off
his horse as easy as picking up ball
When they were all off the cat said,
$50 home as quick as you can" So
off they galloped home to the palace
where the cat disappeared and Hubert
went back to bed.
In the morning his father came home
triumphant over his victory, and
Hubert told him his experience. The
king did not believe 1t was Hubert
bue he knew victory had come through
some invisible help. Your niece.
