s better than a fairy story, for it's true!" exclaimed Mab.
"If it was a fairy story we would wake up and Roly-Poly wouldn't be
here. Oh! I am so glad!"

Hal and Mab had many more days of skating on the pond with Daddy;
Blake. And then, one morning, when they woke up, the ground was deeply
covered with white snow.

"No more skating right away!" cried Daddy Blake, "The ice has gone to
sleep under white blankets."

"But we can have other fun!" said Hal.

"Lots of it!" cried Mab, joyfully. "Oh we'll have more fun!"

And what fun they had with Daddy Blake I will tell you about in the
next book, as this one is all filled up. So I will say good-bye to you
for a little while, only a little while, though.

THE END

The next volume in this series will be called "Daddy Takes Us
Coasting."

It will be about Santa Claus and Christmas.
