hand nd Ktis KrinRie's toymakers are
being marshaled into line preparatory to
their departure for the workshop of Won
derland. Discomfort, mingled with con-
tentions, arises among the band, and
strike IS the result. The derision Of the
faithful laborers the surprise and appeal
Of Kris Kringle nor the efforts Of The
fairy artist, Picture Book, effect q recon-
ciiiation, while the entreaty OF Lieufen-
ant Help and the insinuations Of Noah's

mined. The loyal force, undismayed by
the insuf1ciency Of their numbers, resolve
to do their best 60 meet the exigences OF

In part second, sail work and no play
has its effect. and the toymskers fall
asleep at their work, only to be awakened
BY the sweet echoes Of the Christmas
carols rehearsed by the children OF Earth
land. Every man is again at his post.
and the hammers ring to the measure Of
a cheerful song. A little walf from
Earthland is brought in; great excite
ment prevails over a balloon that is seen
approaching, for it contains the recreant
hand Of strikers returning to their lahors
They are received amid demonstrations Of
pleasure, and the work goes merrily on /;
the usual supply Of toys for the annual
distribution is complete, and Kris Krin-
gle is started on his tour Of love and sur
prise with many a bon voyage.
