at all. But he took a long breath
and decided to begin at the house of
his little friend, Chocolate Cream.
Getting up on the roof was easy
enough-the powdered sugar snow
drifts we're so high and the Giant
was so tall-but getting down the
chimney was another matter.
My said the Popcorn Giant,
putting one leg over and pcering
down, that chimney looks black and
horridl Santa Claus's job is no easy
Gre, believe mep Nevertheless he
swung the other leg over and low
cred himself down, getting a foot
hold on the projecting bricks.
He had gone just about hal. way
when he stuck tight. The chimney
was trifle small, and he was larger
than Santa Claus. No matter how
hard he tried, he could not bulge
either up or down. He had never
been so uncomfortable in his life.

Santa Claus and the
Popcorn Giant.
Part II.
By Louise S. Hasbrouck.

THE pack Of presents which the
i Popcorn Giant was carrying
for Santa Claus (who had been
showed under by the powdered snow
blizzard) was very heavy, and be
fore long the Popcorn Giant was al
most sorry he had promised Santa
Claus to take his place in Candy
town that night. But he thought
how disappointed the Candy children
would be If they did not get their
presents, and he ploughed on.
After a while he reached Candy
town. II had stopped showing By
now, and the golden stars were out.
The powdered sugar snow lay in
soft drifts against the white, pink
and blue cardboard houses of Candy
town; the little evergreens, like
Noah's Ark trees, were dark against
the snow, and dim lights shone from
the windows. Hours ago the sleepy
Candy children had cuddled up in
their beds, thinking they would close
their eyes for just a few minutes
while they were waiting for Santa
Claus. Before they knew it they
we're all sound asleepl
The Popcorn Giant knew he must
get TO work, but he hated to begin

No one came into It except Michaeleen
the porter with the cats eyes, and Jack
and Jillin could hear him coming along
the passages, for he always sang:

For a guinea It would stink and note It would

When they would hear the porter
with the cats eyes coming Jack would
hide himsel, in one of the big pots.
Michaeleen used TO carry the big plate,
and dishes into the kitchen. They were
so many and so big that Jillin did moth
ing all day but boil water and wash the
plates and dishes.
One day there were not so many
plates and dishes as usual Then Jillin
said: "The Giant has gone away. He
will not be back again until the next
full moon"
Then said Jack: There's a chance
for me 20 escape while the Giant is
away. This day I'll trv."

she wrapped It in a napkin and gave 1t
TO him. Here's your cake" said she,
"and take my blessing with it. And |
hope you will meet some one that will
be a better help 20 you than | am"
Jack took the cake without thanking
her and went out by the back door of
the Giants house. And when he looked
back he saw Brown Jillin sitting down
with her hands before her eyes, looking
ike a girl crying.
He went through a little wood and
came TO the moat of the poisoned
water Very ugly the dead water
looked. Ugly stakes stuck up from the
mud to pierce any creature that tried
to leap across. And here and there on
the water were patches Of green poison
as big as cabbage leaves. Jack drew
back from the moat. Leap it he could
rot and swim il he dared not.
And just as he drew back ne saw a
fox come down TO the bank opposite
him. The fox carried in his mouth the
skin OF a calf. He dropped the skin
into the water and pushed il out before
him. Then he got into the moat and
swan very cautiously, always pushing
the calls skin before him. Then the
fox climbed up on the bank where Jack
was, ard the skin, all green and wrin-
lied, sank down in the water
"Well. Uncle Fox said Jack. tell
me how you were able to cross the
