CHAPTER Xxx.
A Kingdom and a Bride.


The news of Eric's good fortune
travelled before him. So that when
he rode into the good gray Queen S
capital he heard trumpets playing
a march. On the castle lawn he
saw the Queen on a throne at the
end of a long avenue Of people
who shouted when they saw Eric's
winged horse drop down on the
turf.
Eric looked about wondering. A
knight in armor stepped up to him
and said, The Queen wishes to
speak with you"
Eric felt shy But there was moth
ing to do but walk down that long
lane of shouting people. He bowed
right and left.
The good, gray Queen smiled at
him warmly. On her left sat Prin-
cess Karin. She wore a simmer
ing white dress embroidered with
garlands of rosebuds. In her yell
low hair there was crown of pale
pink roses. She smiled shyly.
On the Queens left sat Santa
Claus, dressed again in his CHEEKY
red suit with the bands of white
fur. He was munching a coconut
cookie and he winked jovially at
Eric as he did it, Eric winked back
Then the Queen spoke. Eric, u
she said, I'VE have heard that you
were set the task of proving your
worth as a king. You have done
So Tomorrow you shall go home
to rule your own land"
You Are Wise Enough.
"You gave my kingdom help when
no one else was able to break the
spell of the three giants. The fairy
world helped you with a magic
locket and a magic seashell. But
you also used your own wits. Sc
you are wise enough to rule.
Then when your own task was
finished you stopped to help three
brothers in trouble. So you are
both kind and generous enough to
be king. Before you go want to
reward you. Is there anything in
my kingdom you would have?"
Eric had been listening, but his
eyes had been looking at Karin. The
Queen saw and smiled. Karin's
cheeks were rosy with blush. Eric
said, Good Queen, where I rule
there must be a queen to sit on
my right hand. May I ask for your
princess in marriage?"
Gladly" said the Queen.
Then Santa said, Eric, I have
neglected my work because I was
so interested in your task. Now
have favor to ask. 1t looks to me
there will be a wedding in this
kingdom. And I want very much
to come and bring Mrs. Santa.
But now must rush home and
finish my toys. On next Christmas
Day my work will be over for a
while. Will you young people set
the wedding for Christmas Day?"
Eric looked to see what Karin

Texas and Georgia, making valu-
able pioneer studies of the physica.
properties of soils.
In 1897, at the age of 33, DR.. Ladd
was appointed director of the Mis-
souric School of Mines at Rolla, Mo-,
and during the succeeding 10 years
was instrumental in developing the
school into one of the foremost
training centers in mining, metal
lurgy and economic geology.
Joined Bureau in 1917.
Following his work at Rolla, DR.,
Ladd was successfully president Of
the Oklahoma School of Mines and
Metallurgy, 19O8-1913, and of the
New Mexico College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, 1913-1917. In
1917 he joined the staff of the then
newly created Bureau of Public
Roads, where his energies again
were devoted to the study of soil
materials, this time with specific
relations to highway engineering.
Among the more important results
of his work during this period was
his discovery of the cause and cure
of the so-called "washboard" roads.
He next began to specialize in the
study of mass earth movements
known as subsidences and land
slides. Collecting scattered data on
the subject, he demonstrated its
economic Importance and his writ
ings now comprise most of the per-
tinent literature.
Geological Society Member.
DR.. Ladd was member of the
Geological Society of America, the
American Institute of Mining En-
gineers, a permanent member of
the Roadbed Committee of the
American Association of Railway
Engineers, member of the Amer
ican Association for the Advance
ment of Science and, until shortly
before his death, a member of the
Cosmos Club.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Mary Hammond Ladd; a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Werner Clapp OF Chevy
Chase. five sons, Hammond Of White
Plains. N. Y; Shaler and john G.,

Made New Dress.
After a big banquet in the pal
ace the travellers all set out for
their homes to prepare for the we'd
ding on Christmas Day. Eric hur-
ried home to his father and mother.
Santa was so excited that Mrs.
Santa sat right down and made
herself a new dress for the we'd
ding. 1t was red and it was trimmed
with white ermine tails. The good
gray Queen sent an invitation to
King Neptune by a seagull. And
Eric sent invitations to the three
princes of Thuringia.
They all met that next Christmas
Day at the castle of the good, gray
Queen. Eric and Karin were mar
ried and even the winged horse
came to the wedding feast.
Santa brought the young couple
a big bouquet of mistletoe and a
silky, white fur lap robe. King Nep-
tune gave them a boat with blue
silk sails, and the Queen gave them
a coach and IL white horses to car
ry them to Eric's kingdom.
Eric and Karin set out at dusk
Santa followed them in his sleigh
for a while. Before ne left them,
they heard him shouting, Merry
Christmas!"
That was many, many years ago
Eric and Karin lived to be very
old But Santa is as young as ever
Listen for him tonight. You may
hear him in the sky shouting, "Mer-
ry Christmas, one and ALL"
