KING WINTER'S REVENGE V (Original, by "Purple Heather," aged 12, of W.Uln_tdn.) WINTER had come to take the tj, rono 0 f the Season Palace from Ladyj Autumn, but Lady Autumn had refused to give it to him. For, she pointed out, "I have only b oen here three months, and you aiway« stay here for four months at' least." • • Kinir Winter was very angry, and decided to take, revenge upon WW Autumn. He rode back to his icy palace in great fury, making plane wit* Jack Frost as he .went. ... _ ~__ _• «- *>__ When he reached his palace in le© Land, right away high up in «« mountains, he called1 together his snow flake army, who had been busy making rain bags or clouds for tho coming Winter, and told them of his plans. So exactly three days after, an army of snowflakes left Ice land aa* flew towards the Season-Palace. All these snowflakes were armed iMM weapons ready for fighting, for King Winter had decided to tako his enemy,, Lady Autumn, by surprise. ..,,._..__. _ ... _.„■ But Lady Autumn had not been idle in this short time, for she, too, had an army much larger th ß n that of King Winter's and as they flew out t« meet tho snowflake army, orders were given to King Winter's army to rotura to Ico Land as quickly as possible. As soon as King Winter saw his army returning, he was very angry, but he agreed it was no use fighting. But still he did not give up hope, and tha next three days were busy ones for the inhabitants of King WinterfiMkca. The preparations for wintOr wore nearly finished, and on the third nightafte^ tho unsuccessful fight King Winter, Jack Frost, and the King's Jester, Frosty] Flippers, left Ice Land on a big flying sledge, and flew, towards the Seattn Palace. Lady Autumn, not dreaming King Winter would return, had not left the palace guarded, so King Winter and his helpers at once landed in the) grounds, and set to work quickly. -. Next morning, when Lady Autumn awoke, she noticed' now cold an« miserable it was: but it was not until she got out of .her cosy bed and had gone down to breakfast that she noticed the change. Fust she looked out of the window, which she found was covered b? frost, and noticed that tha around was very wet, and then she called for her breakfast., But when tha cook entered, ho told her that all the food had frozen. "Well, give me » warm drink," she demanded. Out wont the cook, but he returned again with a somewhat disgusted look upon his fnco. "Even the water has frozen, my; Lady," ho said, "and tho matches arc all damp and will not light, so that I can make no fires." "Oh, dear," sighed Lady Autumn. "I suppose King Winter has been here. Well, he has beaten me this time." That evening 'King Winter held his first dance in the Season Pala.e, an* Lady Autumn her first night at the palace of her friends. Lady Spring ai( Queen Summer.
