When there comes a day for a dance who goes? Its a good question but the trouble is, 1 cant find a good answer. How about supplying the answer and supporting the dances ? One other topic before we change the subject lets all support the Mat Dance!

Mrs. Brandon, retrieving her to her side again, finished the fit told her to look in the mirror to se how she liked it.

His eyesight was fast fading, for his age had surely caught up with him. As Samuel gazed at Blimpy, the words of his father echoed across his mind. Taxes are high son, so very high. The king takes the very roof from above our heads, but still he demands more. You had better go into the city today and sell the wares your mother has worked on for so long. Take as much as you can get for them for the debt is high. After piling the wares upon the back of the donkey, he took a long willow and began to tease him along the road toward the crowded city. Buv my wares," cried Samuel, but the people were too busy scuratrying to and fro to pay any tention to him. The sun rose to midday, and soon it threw a golden ray across the dim horizon. The shadows grew long, and still Samuel had sold nothing. Most of the people had left the shelter squaie and were seeking for the night. There seemed to bo no hope. Halfheartedly Samuel clutched the rope and began to lead Blimpy toward the city gates. Just a minute, boy," called a voice from behind him. Would you consider selling your donkey? My wife isnt well, and we have traveled far. I cant offer you much for him, but I shall give you what I have." Samuel handed the rope to him in great haste in an effort to avoid his having a chance to change his mind. He smiled broadly as the man dropped the coins into his hand and began to lead the donkey into the darkness. Samuel stood watching the man lead the donkey from within the city gates. Although the dusk was growing thick, he could see clearly the man walking ahead leading Blimpy and the woman who rode upon the back of the animal where Samuel had ridden so often. As he that stood gazing, it seemed Blimpy changed completely. He no longer looked shabby and old. He no longer seemed to limp. His head was held high, looking into the light from the stars above, which seemed to shine upon him and lead him off into the deep shadows of the night. I I Elves? t- Yes buW ell? Pm one of them, and you better get to bed, or Im sorry, but our little girl is very ill, and then the man went to explain what was wrong. Is said the little Elf, "Oh, that all?

Before you could count five, he was back again with a little man all dressed in red, except for the white fur on his hat an coat, and his white heard. He had a very cheerful smile, and jolly eyes. The man and his wife watched, with surprised faces, as the little man went bouncing upstairs, to the little girls room. In just a few minutes the man and his wife heard their child laughing very happily. Isn't it wonderful what Santa can do on Christmas? on B. Y.
