There had to be-" said the first Santa
Claus Jimmieboy had seen Tine world is
growing so fast that my work has nearly
doubled in the last twenty years, so had
to get an assistant, and he did so well,
took him into partnership. He's my broth
err"
"And is his name Santa Claus, too y
asked Jimmieboy
"Oh no. indeed His name is Marina
duke We call him Marmy for short and
can tell you what it is, Jimmieboy,
He is as fine a fellow
As ever you did spy;
He's quite as sweet and mellow,
Though not so fat as l.
"And that's "A recommendation that any
man has a right to be proud of, said Marmy
Claus, patting himself on the back to show
how proud he felt. But, Santa, we must
be off. 1t would not do for the new firm
of Santa, Nanny and Jimmie Claus to be
gin business by being late. We've got to
leave toys in eighteen hat-h houses fortytW o
hotels and an orphan asylum vet
That's fact, said Santa, jumping into
the sleigh and grasping the reins Just
help Jimmieboy in here Nanny, and Ven
be off. We can leave his things here on
our way back"
Then, before he knew how it happened,
Jimmeboy found himself wrapped up
warmly in a great fur coat, with seal
skin cap on his head, and the dearest,
warmest ear-tabs over his ears, sitting in
the middle of the sleigh between the two
huge, iolly-faced members of the Claus fam
lily. The long lash of the whip snapped in
the frosty air, at the sound of which the
reindeer sprang forward aud dragged the
tov-laden cutter off on its aerial flight.
At the start Santa drove, and Marmy pre-
pared the toys for the first little boy they
we're to visit, handing Jimmieboy a lot of
sugar-plums, to keep him from getting
| hungry, before he began.
This is a poor sick little fellow we are
going to see first, he said He wanted a
set of choo-choo cars, but we can't give
them to him because the only set we have
is for you, JimmiebOy, Your application

ed, though am afraid he will be- A fish.
pond isn't half so much fun as set Of

Chats so, " said Jimmieboy. But, Mr.
Marmy, perhaps, if it's going to make him
feel real bad not to get them-may be-per-
haps you might let him have the cars.
don't want them too much. This wasn't
quite true, but Jimmieboy, somehow OF
other, didn't like to think of the little sicR
boy waking up on Christmas day and moi
finding what he wanted. "You know,
have one engine and a coal car left of my
old set, and guess maybe, perhaps, / car
make them do, =" he added.
Nanny gave the little fellow an affec
tionate squeeze, and said "Well, if yol
really feel that way, maybe we had better
leave the cars there. Eth, Santa 2"
maybe, perhaps, said Santa.
And so it happened; and although h,
could not tell exactly why Jimmeboy fel
happier after leaving the cars at the little
sick boys house than he ever thought h,
could be.
! 'Now, Jimmieboy, said Santa, as Marin

fun than any boy ever had and mann
mas better'n any doll baby or choo-choo
car l ever saw. Yes, will leave them.
And the little fellow was true to his pur-
pose. He emptied the bag to the very last
toy, and then, hearing the. tinkling bells of
Santa's sleigh on the roof again, he ran to
the chimney, and was hauled up by his two
new friends to the roof.
"Why, you've left everything except the
bag ~ said Nanny, as Jimmieboy climbed
into the sleigh.
Eyes, " said Jimmieboy, with little sigh;
everything"
''But the bag had all your things in it,
and we haven't a toy or a ugar-plum left
for you" said Santa.
Never mind" said Jimmieboy. 81
don't care much. I've had this ride with
you, and-al-together Tm-pretty we'll
satis-f-"
Here the little assistant to the Claus
brothers, lulled by the jingling of the bells,
fell asleep.
1t was morning when he walked again
Christmas morning-and as he opened his
eyes he found himself back in his little
crib, bordering over the mysterious expe-
riences of the night. His heart was
strangely light and happy even for him,
especially when he thought of the little or
phan children, and tried to imagine their
happiness on waking and finding the extra
toys-his toys-in addition to their own
and as he thought about it, his eyes wan,
dered to the chimney place, and an unex-
pected sight met his gaze, for there stood
the much-wished-for velocipede, and group
ed around it on the floor was a beautiful SCI
of chOo-choo cars exactly like those he haC
left with the sick boy, and a duplicate Of
every one of the extra toys he had left al
the asylum for the orphans.
They must have been playing a jok,
on me" he cried, in delighted tones, as h
sprang out of bed and rushed over to wher,
the toys lay. 81 do believe they left then
here while l was in the asylum The-dea
-old-things !"
And then Jimmeboy was able to meas
ure the delight of the orphan children AM
the little sufferer by comparing it with hi
own and when he went to bed that night
he whispered in his mammals ear that h
didn't know for sure, but he thought tina
if the orphans only had a papa and a nam
ma like his, they would certainly be tn
happiest little children in all the world.

Whose light alone can cheer.
