XVIII-Night Before Christmas.

XVIII-Night Before Christmas.
There was great excitement when
Eric shouted that Elsa was the
rightful Queen of Westphalia.
"Why, she's just beggar,"
grumbled one princess.
Her hair isn't even DONE"
grumbled another.
But the Queen of Fairies had
been watching from the top Of the
Christmas tree. She, herself, had
sent the rough wind to blow the
window open. Now she flew down
to Elsa and touched her hair. AS
she did, it turned into beautiful,
shining ringlets about her head
Soft, pink color glowed in her
cheeks. And her black dress changed
into wine colored robe embroidered
in gold. She looked like a queen.
The Kings eyes glowed and he
took gold chain from around his
neck and hung it about Elsa's neck.
He said, II should have known.
We have spent many hours talking
while Erie was visiting me. Our
people will have a double celebration
tomorrow when we return-for to-
morrow is Christmas"
So the five proud princesses rode
off again. That night, since it was
Christmas Eve, Santa and Mrs.
Santa sang songs after dinner. The
King and Queen of Westphalia
stayed until the moon came up.
A Happy Night.
Only Eric looked sad Santa noticed
him, and patted him on the shoulder
saying, Come, my lad, this is a
happy night all over the world"
Except, maybe, for me-" said
Erie gloomily. Just then there was
a great crash outside and blue white
light lit up all the hills around. In
the door walked Lightning in his
cleaning suit of silver mesh.
He bowed to Santa and said, TIN
sorry had to knock over some OF
your trees. But my son belongs tc
the North. 1t is time he comes
home to his kingdom on high hill
beyond the sunset"
Eric bowed to his father, and said
"Sire, I Am ready to 60 when thil

fairest of all companions comes with
me-" He meant Leezen.
Now the Queen of Fairies flew
to Eric's shoulder to say, Eric you
are free now. Leezen when she
wakes at midnight will no longer
be doll, but one of your Northern
spirits. She must ride tonight with
Santa, and she must ride every
night for the three winter months,
blowing around roof tops to remind
people of their lost friends. But
when the first March breeze comes
up behind the sun she will fly to
you, and stay there each year until
the SHOWS fall"
Eric looked pleased, and then
solemn. He said. And what of me
those three months?"
Midnight.
THAT I can take care Of" said
Lightning. I'm the winter nights
I light up the Northern skies with
a soft yellow and pink and green
glow. People call it the Northern
lights. You shall ride with them,
and some nights you shall streak
the skies with color while Leezen
rides at your side chanting her
song"
"As you say" said Eric. So he
stepped to Leezen's chair, kissed one
of her long curls and whispered,
II shall wait" Then he was gone
with his father in a great, binding
flash Of light.
Santa chuckled at all the solemn
faces around him. Come" he
shouted THAT high-spirited lad
has his wish. Now" and his voice
was drowned by the clock striking
midnight. of" he shouted. Time
to decorate all the Christmas trees.
He ran to his sleigh.
The King and Queen OF West
phalia hurried to another sleigh
that had been set out for them
Just then Leezen woke, rose from
her chair like breeze and f1oated
to Santas side. Tonight we take
our first ride together" she said
and rose and fell softly through the
air like a leaf carried on the wind
So they were off. Mrs. Santa
stood in the doorway and waved
her hand as Santa's sleigh and the
sleigh of the King of Westphalia
rose off the ground into the clouds
Merry Christmas" she cried.
And Merry Christmas to
All Of YOU.
