Kingdom be? "When I leave those parts of the earthland where
ne takes up his rulo, I see nothing but sadness. Bare, lifeless
trees, dying grass, drooping flowers, floeliiß birds, I hear no
music. Nothing but the bleak call of the wind as he MOWH and
blows—nothing but the rustle of the poor leaves ns they scurry
? V » or ,i he ground trying to find beds beforo everything Is frozen,
i toll you what, I got away before X can see much or It"
"And that is where you make your mistake," said Mother
mature. "If you would stay a while longer you might see some of
IV* ."Inter s beauties. Dear Queen Summer, I cannot take you
entirely into King Winter's Domains—but if you will come with
me and ride on a Sunbeam we will peep down Into his kingdom
BO ' n ® cold, cold morning—and then you may judgo for yourself
whether King Winter has naught of beauty in His Kingdom."
And so it happened that one cold, cold morning Queen Sum
mer, as she rode on a Sunbeam, just risked one eye on Klnir
Winter's Domain. True it was the leaves were gone, true it was
the trees were bare, true it was the bird nests were empty—save
hero and there some snow bird's home, true It was the sparkling,
laughing waters of the rivers and streams were frozen. But she
saw many wonderful things she had never dreamed of. As she
looked it seemed all the very gems of the earth were shining and
sparkling before her eyes—diamonds and emeralds and rubies and
sapphires and pearls—all seemed to melt into one great mass of
beauties
XT are all those sparkling things?" asked she of Mother
Nature, who hovered close by her side."
."They are King Winter's beauties," said Mother Nature.
,Only In his Kingdom can they be. Along with the cold and the
biting wind come the icicles —those long sparkling jewels like
earrings you see hanging from every possible place: along with
the chilly air and the dampness come the snowflakes those
beauteous creatures, sparkling like gems of all colors In the sun
light; along with the bitter bleakness and the dying of the sing
ing of the waters come the thick Ice—coats which stretch l'ke
sliver mirrors over the landscape. These are King Winter's
Sparklers. And you can no more have these beauties In your
Kingdom than he can have the birds and flowers and laughinar
waters In his."
"It is wonderful," sighed Queen Summer, as she sank back
into Mother Nature's arms from the sunbeam. "I will not stay too
long lest I spoil his beauties for him. X see now we must each
rule In our own way—and we each have our own beauties and
pleasures and blessings."
"Yes," said Mother Nature. "There Is nothing on earth with
out its beauty—no matter how drear and bleak It may seem."
lovingly, AUNT ESTE.
