by four little reindeer.
Whoa" said the Gnome, and then he
stopped right in front Of Puss and
look at him. But would you believe 1t?
Puss was sound asleep, and youS know
how dangerous it is to go to sleep out
in the cold for sometimes you never
wake up.
"Helloa, helloar" cried the Gnome.
shaking Puss by the shoulder, and pretty
soon Puss opened his eyes just a little
and began to purr. And then that kind
little gnome took out little glass bot
tie with some hot Jamaica Ginger in IT
and gave some to Puss, and after that
Puss felt ever so much better.
Now, get on the sled with me-" SAID
the Gnome. "and We'll soon be at the
Ice Palace Of the King, If that's where
you want to CO." And then he whipped
up his reindeer without waiting for Puss
to answer, and away they went like a
fash over the snow, and by and by, not
so very long, they>saw in the distance a
magnificent castle made of ice. Ana
the rays Of the sun made the turrets
CLEAN like diamods, rrbies and sap
phires, and the ice bridge that led up
to the front gates looked Just like
raibow, for it was of many colors and
high in the middle, which made ii 3usl
the shape Of a bow, you see.
Then over the bridge galIoped the
reindeer and in less than 300 short sec

Puss found himself inside the beautiful

boots and went in, and there stood the
little gray squirrel who had given Puss
his warm cap. And wasn't Puss sur

saRirrel lived in the tree, only in a lit

And then Puss was still more sur

they too. lived in the tree only the old
