SANTA CLAUS CLUB
MAKES KRIS REALITY
FOR MANY KIDDIES
Gifts Worth $4,000 Are
Brought to the Homes Of
the Poor by Public | edger
and Evening Ledger A'tos

Suppose you had been a tiny little kA
yesterday morning, who all your life-o
time had been hearing things about
wonderful old gentleman who had his
home somewhere up in the heavens some
place. Suppose you had. been told how
he came down from the skies every 24th
of December laden with toys for all the
little boys and girls on this earth VINO
had managed to be as good as sugar
candy throughout the year.
And suppose your prayer had been an
swered! Imagine your Joy and mex
pressible happinessl
This Is exactly what happened TO thou-
sands of youngsters yesterday morning.
Thousands who had never in their little
lives received so much as doll bapy
or an insignificant toy awoke yesterday
morning to find a beautiful joyous Christ
mas present by their side, the first testi-
mony they had ever had that Santa was
reality and not a myth after all.
The PUBLIC LEDGER Santa Claus Club
was responsible for the preserving OF
their Illusions. Into the alleys and tene-
ment districts of Philadelphia and thence
into the ovefcrowded humanity-crammed
rooms OF this city's poorer districts went
SIS. 900 forth of Christmas gifts conveyed
there by 5s PUBLIC LEDGER and EVEN
ING LEDGER automobiles. ITO the chill
dren from the children" that was how
| the game was worked.
From all parts OF the city, and from the
State, too, and even from New York.
| toys and dollies were sent to the store
house ct COS Chestnut street when the
Editor of the PUBLIC LEDGER's Children
Page sent out the appeal For two weeks
| the gifts poured in like an avalanche and
/ 5000 unfortunate children who would not
| have had so much as a scent tin horn
otherwise received a package of gifts
which sent them into ecstasies Of gles
and made the 25th OF December a never
to-be-forgotten one in the meagre calen-
dar Of their happy days.

ZUDORA
A GREAT MYSTIC STORY BY HAROLD MAccRATH

d rotbipv 10 prevent my seeing you
when and where 1 will; but this is my
unele's house. He has perfect right to
ienv YOU admittance II he SO wishes"
John swallowed hard, He was not ex-
Meeting a rebuke from such quarter.
He apologlzed again and left the house.
Al his apartments a telegram awaited
him The spectre had returned. and the
farmers were patrollIng the county with
shotguns A carrier pigeon acquainted
Zudora with the fact. The next morning
tho two left for the south Hudora nor
John referred TO the row with Hassam
All.
"I,et me work alone. The sight of you
NAV scare away this boy" she said.
"All right" he agreed; but with the
mental reservation that he would follow
her and remain within call.
zudora found Jimmy Bolton; and
Jimmy Bolton found her, much to her
discomfort and alarm. She had gone far
opposite to where the spectre hand
usually appeared. and she discovered in
a window of shack on the opposite
hill. the Cyclopean eye she had hitherto
hunted for in vain.
without the slightest hesitance she
sought the shack, knocked intrepidly, and
was suddenly dragged in and securely
bound. In the dim light she could sec
tnat Bolton was not untouched with
Insanity.
Storm had promised not to follow; but
she never went out at night without his
being somewhere near. He.~too, had seen
| The flashing eye A brief tableau OF
| Zudora struggling in the doorway was
enough. He was nearly as mad as poor
| Jimmy Bolton. He used the fellow rough
| ly and left him exhausted and thoroughly
cowed in n corner, and then liberated
| Zudora.
In the attie. Of the shack was a giant
stereoptlcon, capable Of throwing a con-
| centrated ray thousand yards or more.
! The plate projected was really an x-ray
/ exposure OF Bottoms hand. John threat
ened and caJoled and even offered money
TO Bolton IL he would confess who had
set him up to this trick. But Jimmy
refused to divulge his secret. He feared
the threats of Hassam All far more than
the threats of his victim.
A week later the crops were being har-
vested; and Zudora and John returned
to the city. each secretly wondering what
the next ordeal would hold for them.
