will see later a vehicle could not get over the road.
 i Thanking MT. and Mrs. Kimball for their kind entertainment for the five days I was snow bound during which time the daily rural free delivery only one trip and there was but one other buggy passed along the road. When started to Twilight it was good day light, but the sun was not up though 1 it bid fair to be a nice clear day. Lat CT the sun came up looking all the world like a big, round jewel of a wine red color, the prettiest color I ever saw it assume. I looked at it till the tears came in my eyes. When I look ed down l saw heart through a tear of the same color, then it rested on the snow of a blood color and I won dered if the Wandering Fairy could have such heart and if her little ship was a peace ship instead of battleship as I have called it, and that she wants us soon to have peace and that is her mission?
 II was freezing, but not so awful cold, yet it was disagreeable. I was thinking of disagreeable walk ahead of me and wishing the Wandering Fairy had not have remained on the other side of the river in the Mau- nelle country so that she could use her magic to do away with the cold faI Ilx al of mo I fn Round mountain, it looked pretty with it's green pine and other trees all GOV cred with ice. 1 looked at the road, it was white, for it was showing when went to bed, and the only tracks in it were those of little dog which had gone on ahead of me. I walked on while and found the walking very good, then I came to where the travel all turned off the road I was on and then every once in a while 1 would break through the ice into water, but did not get my feet wet. I now be- gan to notice that the little trees were lowing their heads until they touched the ground. They were covered with beautiful clear crystals too and all at once 1 realized that the Wandering Fairy had been along in front of me making everything as beautiful as 1t could be made to cheer me up during my cold walk As she passed along with her ally, Jack Frost, they deco rated the trees with crystals and mar ble and the trees bowed until the very top of their heads touched the ground in homage to her and remained thus until I passed It was all very won derful Every little ugly country house and stable had been given marble top, even the ugly rural mail boxes had marble tops and the little country school house had grand mar ble steps leading up to it's two front doors. I came in sight of little creek and wondered how I would get across it, but when I got closer saw beautiful long, narrow foot bridge at one side of the road made of the whitest marble. A little further on 1 forgot and began to think how cold it had been when the trees said. Stop your fussing or we will all bend our heads down until you can't get out of here." I looked ahead of me and saw that every little tree had bent down until his head was touching the road and it did not look like I could get by and wagon could not get by. I wondered why and then at the foot of 6 big oak tree l saw a marble throne and supposed that the Fairy Queen had held a court there. I cross ed over bridges. On top they were marble. The banisters were marble from which were suspended beautiful crystals six inches long, but one big bridge with steel railing was nearly crystal coated with beautiful little pendant crystals hanging down from the railings. Occasionally 1 saw white tracks across the road. I finally came to Twilight. I went into a little store run by a colored man, J. w. Woodson, where I waited by his stove and wrote this letter while trains passed each way, but would not stop for me. His boys read my Christmas story and said they thought it very good.
 After making four attempts to catch train I finally caught one at 10:30 and got into Little Rock before D. m. On the train found that my feet were frosted, but what did that matter when the fairies were trying to teach me a lsson and learn me how to make the best of everything and see the beauty of all of Gods wondrous works.
