"Yes, King Snow, l am delighted to
accept your invitation and visit the
earth today" said Prince Sleet.
1T is funny" said King Snow, "the
way l invite you and others of my
friends to visit me on the earth, just
as though | owned the earth.
1T does seem at times as though l
do, the way | act. For l cover the
earth right up as though it were all
my own and pay no attention to
whether 1t wants blanket of snow
or carpet of snow or not.
81 take it for granted it does, and
after all, snow is good for the earth.
"Then l don't bother to ask the

friends to visit me, too"
II am sure the earth is glad to have
you" said Prince Sleet, "for / know

"Yes," said King Snow, "for l pre-

DRAKE WORKER OF MIRACLES
Power by Simple Country Folk
of His Day.

The story Of Elizabeth Sydenham,
wife Of Sir Francis Drake, that gay
buccaneer of Elizabethan days, is
parallel in many ways to the classic
story of Penelope, ife of the Greek
wanderer, Ulysses. Only the denOue-
ment of the story differs from the an
cient tale. History says that Sir Fran
els, although he rOamed the seas, was
the most faithful of husbands. Eliza
beth was his second wife.
1t was generally believed by the
simple English country folk that
Drnke had the power Of working
miracles. On one occasion, 1t is said,
when he left home to make one of his
long and perilous voyages, Sir Fran
els told his wife that if he did not re-
turn within ten years she might con-
slider him dead and herself at liberty
to marry again.
The years went by with no word
from the absent knight, and as Lady
Drake was beautiful and charming,
as well as wealthy, woman, she was
soon besieged by suitors. For a long
time she remained steadfast to her
husband Like Penelope waiting at
home for the warning Ulysses, she re-
fused none, but accepted none. She
kept them all in perpetual state Of
hope.
Finally, though, after a good deal
more than ten years had elapsed and
still there was no news Of Sir Fran
els, Elizabeth succumbed to the i'm
portunities of one of the suitors, and
all details for the wedding were ar
ranged.
And here is where the miracle came
in, according to legends:

stopped talking and so did Prince
| Sleet, and Prince Sleet started on his
| journey to the earth.
81 love to uravel," said Prince Sleet,
"and like to hurry and dash and run
races. l do like to be up to my old
pranks.
"Yes, King Snow is right. I'm not
quiet fellow. l like to rush this
way and that, and like to talk to the
wind as ] go along.
Il like to play pranks on the peo-
pie, and l like to get their faces all
wet if they come out when l am jour
neying to the earth.
II like to rush down sideways and
begin going in windows if I'm not
stopped in time and kept out. / like
to storm and storm and storm again.
81 simply adore the very word
Storm 1t makes my heart SO nice
and cold.
"Now, people speak Of their nice
warm hearts, because they like to have
warm hearts, but Prince Sleet likes a
cold heart, for cold things are what
he enjoys.
"He hates the heat, and he doesn't
come around when it is warm.
"No, unlike some people who hate
the heat but who stay around through
it all and grumble about it, Prince
Sleet keeps away from the heat and
SO doesn't grumble.
"Of course, may be doing these
people who stay around when 1t Is hot,
and yet grumble, an injustice, for they
may not be able to get away when it
is hot, as can.
"ShOuld l stay around when 1t Is
hot, would only melt with sorrow at
the heat. That is all would do.
"Ah, this is the kind Of day like,
when it is cold and windy and blus-
terry.
"Ah, there comes Sir Blizzard He
is good sort! We are the best of
friends. It was kind Of King Snow
to invite him to the earth the same
day as he invited me.
king Snow knows who are the
greatest friends.
Hello, Sir Blizzard, glad to see
you"
"Glad to see you, too, Prince Sleet,"
said Sir Blizzard. How about q
great old frolic today? A wild, wild
frolicf'
"Fine," said Prince Seet. ut will
make my journey beautiful one."
So Prince Sleet and Sir Blizzard had
the greatest old frolic they had ever
had, and the people said to each other:
"We don't know when there has ever
been such a Storm" which was just
what Prince Sleet and Sir Blizzard
hoped they would say.
