A. last the suspicious evening came
round and the church was crowded to
the doors with eager Boonvillians Of
every age, denomination and hue.
People were not going to stay away be-
cause they belonged to other churches.
santa Claus wasn't billed to appear at

of the evening, and there was a song
or two, but his words were received

songs were rushed through in double

J'nE,!uE OF bells, as'if in the distance.
IN" merry jingle grew louder and

overhead with final jingle accom-
panied by n shrilly-shOutcd; "Whoa"
Then there was commotiOn in the
chimney and suddenly n fuzzy white
head popped up from the opening at
the top and a gleeful "Ha, ha" issued
from the make believe Santa as he held
alo't An armful OF toys. In another
moment he emerged from the fireplace
below and went capering about the
Christmas tree, hanging the contents
Of his pack upon its branches.
IN" audience was In tumult Every
neck was stretched and twisted TO en-
abe It's owner to observe every move
