The Hing and His Ambassadors
By Creswen Mclaughlin

Come, King of the Cradle, old sweetheart of fancy
With your merry red face full of wrinkling cheer
Climb out from your castle of candy and crystal
And harness your sled to your dancing reindeerl
Now the babies talking ali creation
Of the junketing trip of their jolly old King,
And each little darling is doubling and dreaming
And guessing what toys the old sweetheart will bring
Come along there old Frosty drive down in
Steer straight through the night with your baggage
seghful of snare-dums skates, trumpets
And ten thousand counterfeit toys of the year
Don't miss any home in the Empire of Childhood
Don't make mistake, don't drive by a doorl
You rich; it's a season of plenty
your load is too light, why drive back and get
It's hard task we know, for King perform it;
But you have ambassadors-send about
Each one can relieve you part of your journey
Start each of us forth a separate route.
You can sit in the sky a sofa of snow-balls,
We will scatter your gifts with a profigate sway;
While chorus of sweet little voices will bless you
And shout the wild gadness of Santa Claus Day

that was? No one in the Cove had ever seen the
woman whom i'm Liddel had married in the
city, Some said she was Polish French. At
any rate she product of South Jersey,
and she had ceased to exist shortly after "Shiner"
came into being. Jim Liddel too had succumbed
to consistent indulgence in strong liquors; so
"Shiner" at the immature age of three, had
drifted into the Cove to grow up among the
numerous other Liddels who had originated there.

to vie with the Kingwoods in
giving Christmas party, to Guido
them, in fact, was so BADLY i'm
possible as to call for more Gre
dulity than the youthful Covers
possessed.
Within an hour the Cove thrilled
with the news. A Christmas party
for Cranberry Covel Why, the
thing had never even been thought
of before. In it's own slipshod,
haphazard manner the Cove had
always observed the holiday, but
no one had ever undertaken a
party. In one or two of the cot
tages some attempt was OCCASION
ally made to set up cedar savin,
and to skimpily deck it with
strung popcorn and cheap tinsel;
but generally the women were too
busy or the men too tired.
What's this about you gettin'
up a Christmas party, Sinner
asked Mrs Chambertin, who had
been a Herrick.

whole of their dismal benighted 1ives!'
Well, that made me sick. Shucks Don't
we have more fun here at the Cove every
Saturday night than that bunch of stiffs
does in a whole year? Don't we? What

Somehow all this seemed convincing to

quailed under the scornful eyes of Skinner"

before; and he borrowed from Squire Truegate
many queer thick books which he read O. nights
when the other Cove youths were grazing the
Cedarton pool-room.
Mainly however, "Shner" was distinguished
fnancier. He developed unsupported money
resources in the common things about him. The
big punches of arbutus which the other youngsters
brought in at Eastertime he sold at city prices to
the transient guests at the Bay House. He sent
them to gather red teaberries, the first magnolia
buds and the earliest lilies, all of which he
exchanged for cash. Nor did he hoard his profits

Cove youngsters tasted these. Was money needed
for circus, for admission to tent-show Uncle

getting it. Do you wonder, then, that he had a
following in the Cove?

Over at Brentmoor the guests were

Philip Sturtevant, who seemed familiar with
such work, was mounted on step-ladder

boughs of the glittering, overladen Christ

ever, was his active assistant. From the
background Mrs. Kingwoods eyed them
approvingly. Peter Kingwoods, looking
every inch the lord of the mansion, yawned
discreet1y- 1t was tremendous bore, this
'revel" nonsense.
Through the windows of the big dining
hall, had anyone cared to look, might
have been seen the wide expanse of the
bay, cleaning DULY, like blued steel, under
the darkening afternoon sky. As usual,
Cedarton was having green Christmastide,

slightest tang of freshness in it.
