brothers., and the Ryl Prince gave him
Nuter, the sweetest tempered Ryl ever
known, and the Fairy Queen gave him
Wisk. that tiny, mischievous. but low
able Fairy who knows today almost as
many children as does Santa Claus
himself.
With these people to help make the
toys and to keep his house in order
and to look after the sledge and the
harness, Santa Claus found it much
easier to prepare his yearly load of
gifts, and his days began to follow one
another smoothly and pleasantly.
Yet after few generations his wor-
ries were renewed, for it was remark
able how the number of people contin-
ued to grow and how many more chill
dren there were every year to be serv-
ed When the people filled all the cities
and lands of one country they wan
dered into another part of the world,
and the men cut down the trees in
many Of the great forests that had
been ruled by Ak, and with the wood
they built new cities, and where the
forests had been were fields of grain
and herds of browsing cattle.
You might think the Master Woods
man would rebel at the loss of his
forests, but not so. The wisdom Of
Ak was mighty and farseeing.
1.-THE world was made for men," said
he to Santa Claus, land I have but
guarded the forests until men needed
fny %I,ni
strong trees can furnish shelter for
mems weak bodies and warm them
through the cold winters, but I hope
they will not cut down all the trees,
for mankind needs the shelter of the
woods in summer as much as the
warmth Of blazing logs in winter. And.
however crowded the world may grow,
l do not think men will ever come to
Burzee nor to the Great Black For
est nor to the wooded wilderness Of
Braz unless they seek their shades for
pleasure and not to destroy their giant
trees"
BY and by people made ships from
the tree trunks and crossed over oceans
and built cities in far lands, but the
oceans made little difference to the
journeys Of Santa Claus. \ His rein
deer sped over the waters as swiftly as
over land, and his sledge headed from
east to west and followed in the wake
Of the sun, SO that, as the earth rolled
slowly over, Santa Claus had all Of
twenty-four hours to encircle it each
Christmas Eve, and the speedy rein
deer enjoyed these wonderful journeys
more and more.
So year after year, and generation
after generation, and century after
century, the world grew older, and the
people became more numerous, and the
labors of Santa Claus steadily increas-
ed. The fame Of his good deeds spread
to every household where children
dwelt. And all the little ones loved
him dearly, and the fathers and moth
ers honOred him for the happiness he
had given them when they, too, were
young, and the aged grandsires and
grand danes remembered him with
tender gratitude and blessed his name.
