just imagined that Santa and his rein
deer were over the church. Why, it
wants whole week before Christ
mas. sonny, and Santa never comes
till Christmas eve. Come along and
don't imagine things like that any
more" And the aged bell ringer
swung his lantern and led the way
along the snow covered path to his
home, his little grandson, Sammy, fol-
lowing. But in Sammy's heart was a
feeling that he had not imagined see
ing Santa. He felt the thing had been
real. "He was Just peeping round to
see where the good children live and
getting acquainted with the chimneys,"
said Sammy to himself But grandpa
IS too old to understand. He hasn't
cared about Santa for many, maG;
years. But I do. oh. / do! And how
| should love to slip away up into the
church tonight and visit Santa's realm!
But that would be impossible. 1t is
not intended for boys to get off the
earth, so Santa comes to them"
Just then Sammy's grandmother
opened the kitchen door for them, and
as Sammy entered the good old lady
stopped and kissed him, saying:
81 just had letter from your cous-
ins. Mabel and Ted. saying they were
coming to spend Christmas with us
and that they had written Santa Claus
OF the change Of their address so that
he could fetch their gifts here--along
with yours Bless the dearsr'
And Sammy knew that Santa would
DO az his cousins asked him to, al
though grandpa laughed at the idea
and said: THAT is nonsense. good WIFE
Children should not believe such silly
things" But Sammy knew a thing or
two that gra ndpa did not know.

sS saying, Santa hurried to his sta

ing their impatience to be out in the

stable elves to hitch up the steeds to
the sleigh. as he meant to give the good
animals little exercise
''They need a race now and then"
he said "Otherwise they'd get stiff
kneed and would feel clumsy when
trying to Gallop over shifting clouds
and ragged treetops and uneven roofs"
After the ride of several hours Santa
cried out to his reindeer:
Now to earth. my good fellows. And
don't lag We must be there Just as
the dark is falling over the land. If
we wait till the moon comes out We'll
be seen, and that would never do"
AS the darkness settled over the land
old Santa dropped from neecy cloud
to the top of tall church steeple.
There he got out of his sleigh, told his
reindeer not to move from that SteeDle
and made his descent to the roof of n
