IT «m the night before Chriwtmaa.
and It on; ktn been bccinw
Mujorlt'i pap* had btn read
ing an artfcto about a man wbo
bad a wonderful fly In* machine that
all theee strange things happened.
Marjorle was sitting In the big easy
ehalr In the corner, where the Mfftit
from the lamp did not hart her eyes
and where she conld listen for any
•oond of 8anta Clans' reindeer on the
aaow oatalde when suddenly she felt
the chair more. Then It was whirled
around and out of the door into the
street. Marjorle wondered what had
happened, but Annabel, her biggest
doll. wbo was in the chair with her.

"Indeed 1 did
not," answered
Jlarjorle. (
"Ved," replied £
Annabel, "I jnat x

After whit seemed a Ions time the
chair came to a tall white building
that looked an If it might have been
hnllt of great blocks of louf sugar. It
stood on top of a snow covered hill.
▲ cunning little brownie la buttons
and a red and green uniform like holly
opened the door for them.
"Mrs. Santa Clans says for you to
(lease step right upstairs. They're ex
pecting you." said the brownie.
When they reached the Berond floor
a hearty voice called out, "Step right
tor and another voice said: "Now, be
calm, Santa! You know, my dear, that
jon must not excite yourself."
In the center of the room stood a huge
▲ vest atcK Santa.
white bed in
the bed lay Santa
Clans with cor
era to ilia chin.
Mn. Santa was
tending over him
with a cup and
■poon.
"Ifs hla medt '

said, noddlug to
the doll und Mar
Jorle. H.iuta
mado a very wry
fnce.
After the medi

Mrs. Bantn turn
ed to the new
comers and aald:
"We're been
waiting for you.
The doctor says
Sun fa must Htav
In bod for a month. He's sprained bin
ankle."
"Monkeying With that new flying
machine young Chris coaxed me to buy
In place of the reindeer," grumbled
Santa. "Plague take It. 1 never bud
any trouble like tbia when 1 depend
ed on Tbunder and Rlltten and the
rest of »ny deur old team."
"Well. Marjorie." sakl Mrs. Santa,
"we thought you might be willing to
take the gifts around for Mr. Santa
this Christmas, seeing that he can't
go himself. 1 don't want to let Chris
go up in that torrid—I mean we -utu—
can't spare Christopher at present. I
thought you might enjoy a ride In u fly
ing machine. With a couple of brown
!m to run down the chimneys with
the toys you can managn very well.
The brownies do finely with some one
t» look after them, but they dou't do
to send out alone "
"Wife, 1 don't like this Idea of the
flying machine. Wby can't Marjorie
take out the reindeer? Maybe they
•re tiot so fast, but they are quite
safe"
"Vary well; I'll rtnf for the reindeer,'"
■Creed Mrs. Santa, touching h bell.
Button* came hurrying Into the room.
"Harness the Christmas reindeer to
the btggest sleigh and have nil the
toy* put In it This young lady will
take I beat out (or Santa Claus thla
Ohrtstmas."
Bnttona looked dismayed. "I'm sor
ry. ma'am, bat It'* too late. Young
Mr. Christopher, ma'am, bad them toys
ail loaded Into tbe new flying machine
and he's Just started off with them
himself."
Mrs. 8aata shrieked and fainted,
luu Clans Jumped up and yelled, all
the little brownies came rushing In

He will be there every day after school
hours and all day Sundays. Have the little

they want him to bring them Christmas.
Santa likes the little Boys and Qirls. The
more coming to see him the better he likes it.
Write him a letter and drop it in his Mail

hours of the mornings, when the little folks
are in dreamland—dreaming of the many
things they are going to get Christmas.
