to keep my poor old grandma Morris,
who's got white hair now, from wor-
rying and crying any more ove her
boy Dan. You see, Mister Santa, my
uncle Dan ran away from home a
long, long time ago, before I was born,
and my grandma keeps saying she
can't rest until she sees him again.
She's visiting my papa and mamma
at home now, and I saw a present she
has all wrapped up and labeled for
uncle Dan if you'll be good enough to
find him and bring him out to our
house tonight. Won't you do that,
please, mister Santa?"
With a choking cry the white
w~hiskered one stumbled to his feet,
nearly upsettlng his little snow house
and searching Boobies wonder-round-
ed eyes in hungry disbelief.
"You are Julia Morris little boy?"
he muttered dazedly. And you say
that. that your grandmother really
wants her worthless runaway Dan to
come back to her? Ills waiting here
in the city for him now7 oh. my
God!"
Fred, Boobies father, caught at
the Santa's arm as he reeled un-
steadily sidewise as if about to faint,
and in SO doing knocked off the bushy
white whiskers.
/. "Awr" walled Bobbie, facing his
first childish establishment, "he isn't
a real Santa after all"
Back through the amazed and
rather indignant crowd of shoppers

as her trembling legs would permit.

her see them smile at it.
The afternoon before Christmas
Julia persuaded her husband to take
little Bobbie downtown so that he
could not surprise her trimming the
tree. Brother Jim and the old folks
went along.
Little Bobbie naturally was most
of all interested in the toy depart
ments and hardly could be made leave
hold some of the p%laythings he most
fancied.
"Oh see, daddie. A horsie that
rocks. with a name and bride and
everything !.... And oh, grandma ]
lookitl lookit! There's a real live
Santa Claus talking to those other
little boys and girlsl"
It was indeed. The big store had
hired a rather shabby-looking young
man that week, who for SIS was sup
posed to sit at the door of an imita-
ton snow house and solemnly encour-
age visiting youngsters to tell him
their fondest wants in the line of pres
ents. Little Bobbie was impatiently
waiting in line, holding fast with one
chubby fist to his fathers hand. in no
time. Mother and father Morris, and
big brother Jim watched and waited
smilingly for them IN the edge of
the crowd.
".Well, my little man. what is your
nameY' asked the scarlet-coated and
long white-whiskered Santa Claus in
a tired, husky voice when Boobies
turn finally came.
I'm Bobbie Wallace, dear Mr.. Santa
Claus, and l live at 5601 Byrne street"
the boy chirruped at him, round-eyed
and devoutly believing in the identity
of Santa. MY mammals name is Julia
Wallace and I've got a little baby
sister now, too"
The long-whiskered Santa patted
his head in perfunctory WEAKNESS.
"And what do you most want me to
put in your stocking this Christmas
Eve, Bobbie7" he asked with a side
long glance at the tolerantly smiling
father.
"We-ell," drawled Bobbie uncer-
tainly, "there are lots and lots of

The family had tried to reason with
Dan. but 1t was of no use. One morn

the briefest note of good-by to his
mother. And now the third Christmas
