"Faia, Faia!" cried Norss, "it is the same,  the same you wore when I fetched you a bride from the East!" FIRE FIRE CRIED NORSE IT IS THE SAME THE SAME YOU ARE WHEN I FETCH YOU A BRIGHT FROM THE EAST
ve always in this our son Claus, who has been so sweet a joy to us?" "Ay, ay," said Norss; "but how is that possible?" "We shall see," said Faia. That night Norss dreamed that a spirit came to him, and that the spirit said to him: "Norss, thou shalt surely live forever in thy son Claus, if thou wilt but acknowledge the symbol." Then when the morning was come Norss told his dream to Faia, his wife; and Faia said: "The same dream had I,--an angel appearing to me and speaking these very words." "But what of the symbol?" cried Norss. "I have it here, about my neck," said Faia. So saying, Faia drew from her bosom the symbol of wood,--a tiny cross suspended about her neck by the golden chain. And as she stood there holding the symbol out to Norss, he--he thought of the time when first he saw her on the far-distant Orient shore, standing beneath the Star in all her maidenly glory, shading her beauteous eyes with one hand, and with the other clasping the cross,--the holy talisman of her faith.
