suffer terribly for their disobedience."
"Don't do thatv begged Claus "It
was my faultv'
But Will KNOCK would listen to no
excuses and went away grumbling and
growing in his ill natured way.
For this reason Claus entered the
Forest to consult Necile about rescuing
the good deer from punishment To
his delight he found his old friend, the
Master Woodsman, seated in the circle
of Nymphs.
Ak listened to the story of the night
journey to the children and of the great
assistance the deer had been to Claus
by drawing his sledge over the frozen
snow
II do not wish my friends to be pun
ished if can save them," said the toy
maker, when he had finished the rela-
ton. ''They were only one minute late,
and they ran swifter than bird flies
to get home before daybreak.'
Ak stroked his beard thoughtfully a
| moment and then sent for the Prince
| of the Knocks, who rules all his people
in Burzee, and also for the Queen Of
the Fairies and the Prince Of the Ryls.
When all had assembled Claus told
his story again, at AXIS command and
then the Master addressed the Prince
Of the KNOCKS, saying:
''The good work that Claus is doing
| among mankind deserves the support
of every honest immortal. Already he
is called Saint in some of the towns,
and before long the name Of Santa
| Claus will be lovingly known in every
home that is blessed with children.
Moreover, he is a son of our Forest, so
we owe him our encouragement. You,
| Ruler Of the Knocks, have known him
| these many years; am 1 not right in
saying he deserves our friendship"
The Prince, crooked and sour of Wis
| age, as all KNOCKS are, looked only up
! on the dead leaves at his feet and muir

Ak smiled. but continued, in soft
tones, 1T seems that the deer which
| are guarded by your people can be Of
great assistance to Claus, and as they
seem willing to draw his sledge I beg
| that you will permit him to use their
services whenever he pleases.''
The Prince did not reply, but tapped
the curled point Of his sandal with the

I~LAUs thought that none of the
~ children would ever know
where the toys came from
which they found at their bedsides
when they Weakened the following
morning. But kindly deeds are sure to
bring fame, and fame has many wings
to carry it's tidings into far lands: so

| people We're talking of Claus and his
wonderful gifts to children. The sweet
| generousness Of his work caused a few
selfish folk to sneer, but even these
were forced to admit their respect for
man so gentle natured that lie loved
to devote his life to pleasing the help
| less little ones Of his race.
Therefore the inhabitants of evprv
city and village had been eagerly
watching the coming of Claus, and re-
markable stories Of his beautiful play
things We're told the children to keep
them patient and contented.
When, on the morning following the
first trip Of Claus with his deer, the lit,
| tie ones came running to their parents
with the pretty toys they had found,
and asked from whence they came,
there was but one reply to the oues>
| ton.
Ihe good Claus must have been
mere, my darlings, for his are the only
toys in all the worldv
but how did he get imp asked the
children.
At this the fathers shook their heads,
being themselves unable to understand
how Claus had gained admittance to
their homes, but the mothers, watch,
ing the glad faces of their dear ones.
whispered that the good Claus was no
mortal man, but assuredly a Saint. and
they piously blessed his name for the
happiness he had bestowed upon their
children
"A Saint" said one, with bowed
head, has no need to unlock doors if
it pleases him to enter our homes"
And afterward, when a child was
naughty or disobedient,> its mother
would say:
You must pray to the good Santa
Claus for forgiveness. He does not
like naughty children, and unless you
repent he will bring you no more pref
ty toys"
But Santa Claus himself would not
have approved this speech He brought

also and found five children sleeping
in the house, all Of whom were quickly
supplied with toys.
When he returned the deer sprang to
the next roof, but on descending the
chimney Claus found no children there
at ALL That was not often the case In
this village, however, so he lost less
time than you might suppose in Wis
iting the dreary homes where there
were no little ones.
When he had climbed down the chin
neys Of all the houses in that village
and had left toy for every sleeping
child, Claus found that his great sack
was not yet half emptied.
Coward, friends he called to the
deer. eve must seek another village"
So away they dashed, although it
was long past midnight, and in sur
prisingly short time they came to a
large city, the largest Claus had ever
visited since he began to make toys.
But, nothing daunted by the throng Of
houses, he set to work at once, and his
beautiful steeds carried him rapidly
from one roof to another, only the
highest being beyond the leaps of the
agile deer.
At last the supply of toys was ex-
hausted, and Claus seated himself in
the sledge, with the empty sack at his
feet, and turned the heads of Glossie
and Flossie toward home.
Presently Flossie asked:
SiWhot ic that o,.av 81, Nv tho
SKYE"
1T is the coming dawn of day." an
sWered Claus, surprised to find that it
was so late.
"Good gracious" exclaimed Glossie,
"then we shall not be home by day
break, and the Knocks will punish US
and never let us come again."

Claus held fast, and the next moment
was flying so swiftly over the snow
that he could not see the trees as they
whirled past. Up hill and down dale,
swift as an arrow shot from a bow
SACt udoucu, ouu clduS SuuI his eyes
to keep the wind out of them and left
the deer to find their own way.
1t seemed to him they were plunging
through space, but he was not at all
afraid. The Knocks were severe mas
tiers and must be obeyed at all hazards,
and the gray streak in the sky was
growing brighter every moment.
Finally the sledge came to sudden
stop and Claus, who was taken un-
awares, tumbled from his seat into a
snowdrift. AS he picked himself up he
heard the deer crying:
''Quick, friend, quick! Cut away our
harnessr'
He drew his knife and rapidly sever
ed the cords, and then he wiped the
moisture from his eyes and looked
around him.
The sledge had come to a stop in the
Laughing Valley, only few feet, he
found, from his own door. In the east
the day was breaking, and turning to
the edge of Burzee he saw Glossie and
Flossie just disappearing in the Forest.
