toward the kitchen door where he
saw her peeking through "She was
telling me one day, shortly after
she came to live with us, about an
old darby herb doctor who had made
some wonderful cures down in her
old home town in Georgia. Yes, sar,'
she said, 'Massa Santa. he sure am
able to cure bout anything, from chill

loved her before her illness. She was
very weak, it Is true, but otherwise
she was her old self; and she smiled
sweetly and wished them all q merry
Christmas.
The Gnomes jumped joyfully to
their feet and cheered and cheered
until the rafters fairly shook. Will
ing hands quickly brought an easy
chair and placed Il beside Santa's.
Mrs. Santa was then carefully placed
in it and pillows banked all around
her to make her comfortable.
AS Santa started to sit down, he
noticed for the FIRST time, large
box near him with a card on 1t
which read: FOR SANTA, FROM
THE GNOMES." Without waiting
to ask any questions he jumped up
and removed the lid and as he did
SO out popped Taffytoe. Santa was
so startled that he dropped the lid
and almost fell back in 4 heap,
which caused the Gnomes to roar
with laughter.
For a moment, Taffytoe stood
there, still in the box, an expression
on his face which showed plainly he
wasn't quite sure how Santa was go
inging to receive him as a gift. But
he didn't have long to wait to find
out, for Santa, with a loud Hobo
What a findp grabbed Taffytoe by
the waist and lifted him out of the
box and seated him In the chair OPP
posite Mrs. Santa, telling the
Gnomes that they couldn't have
given him anything he would have
rather had. Taffytoe was so pulled
UP at this that he strutted around
for days after.
At this moment, Dinah appeared
at the door and announced that if
they didn't want burnt dinner it
had better be served at once. The
Gncmes had been casting gIances
toward the kitchen for some time,
their mornings work having given
them mighty keen app tites. and
Santa, seeing their longing giances,
told her to bring OH the dinner at
| once.
And such a dinner as it was!
Everything the heart could desire,
commencing with turkey and run
ming right straight through to the
plum pudding. Long before all the
good things were served, belts were
let out notch after notch. At last, as
even the best Of things must end, the
dinner was over and they sat around
the table and smoked and talked as
of old. feeling little uncomfortable
it is true, with 50 many good things
under their belts, but every face was
fairly shining with eontentment and
good cheer.
Santa vas now called upon to tell
them about finding the cure for Mrs.
Santa, so settling back in his chair,
he began:

CHAPTER x.
Home Again.


The Gnomes, now fully convinced
that they had been very. verv
naughty, went on their way toward
Toyland with tagging steps and
heavy hearts. They didn't know for
sure that Santa had been able to
take his trip and as they drew near
the castle they became more and
more afraid to face him. 1t was final
" decided that they would all wait
on the outside while one OF them
should sneak ID and see if the REIN
deefs were still ia the stable, If the
reindeers were not there it would
mean that Santa had left, and they
would have time to carry out some
plan for getting back into his good
gfeees. Taffytoe was chosen, and he
soon returned to say that the way
was clear.
Once in the castle. they inlmedi-
ately set TO work, and such a busy
lot they were. The old place had
never known such a cleaning as Il
now received. While several Of
them went back with a sleigh to
fetch Dinah, the rest were working
in the kitchen, polishing pans and
kettles or gathering ZIP the sugar
plunis they had strewn around. In
TACT, they swept, scrubbed, busted
and polished everything in all Toy
land. Even the shops were not for-
gotten, and they we're put in readl-
ness to repair and exchange the toys
that always came back after Christ
mas to be fixed up.
When at last everything was as
bright and shiny as a new dollar,
they went out into the Christmas
tree forest and cut down the biggest
tree they could find and brought it
back It was set up IN the dining
room near Santa's chair and trim
med with all the most beautiful
ornaments to be found, until ii shone
and sparkled like millions OF bright
" coIored stars.
By this time Dinah had returned.
and being told Of their ST prise for
Santa, she at once entered heartily
into their plans, and with the
Gnomes to help her, she soon had
a most wonderful dinner cooking on
the stove. Taffytoe too was busy. for
Christmas wouldn't be complete
without sugar plums, and he was
putting his whole heart into making
his very best
IL was now pretty nearly time
for Santa TO return and they hur-
ried to their rooms to put on their
best clothes while Dinah added the
finishing touches to dinner and ia

The 5nomes had hardly seated
themselves at the table to await
Santa, before there was clatter Of

A Token Of Kindness.

BY Zoe Tull. Aged H. Columbus, Neb.
Dear Busy Bees: This is my first
letter to you. | wish to tell you a
story. There lives, close to a hos
pitai, a little girl and her mother
who raises the largest, loveliest
sweet peas. The little girls name is
Ruth. One day she was cutting
sweetpeas with her little scissors to
take to the sick people in the hos
pital who had no flowers. She had
gathered large bouquet and start
ed to take them in the house, she
slipped and fell and the scissors
stuck fast in her eyelid. She
screamed and her mother came
running out to her. For a while the
neighbors thought Ruth would be
blind in spite 1of all they could do.
But she is we'll today and is proud
of the scar she has because she got
it through being kind TO the sick.
This is a true story and | hope Mr..
Wastebasket is out.

Santa, whistling a merry tune.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christ

Santa stopped short in amaze
ment, too surprised for words. In
stead of coming into deserted
house as he had expected, here were
the Gnomes, back In their same old
places, a wonderful Christmas tree
decorated in his honor, and IL he
could trust his sense OF smell, q
sure enough Christmas dinner all
ready for him to start In on. This
was indeed a welcome to make any
one even less forgiving than Santa,
forget the worry and trouble that
was now a thing of the past.

rogues," greeted Santa, a happy
smile on his face. This is a nice way

1t was a treat to the Gnolnes to
see how like his old self Santa was

he sat down.

them to her kittens. One day my

and she got her foot caught in it
and it cut it off and she would
catch them anyway. Sometimes she
would catch a rabbit and she would
give it to her kittnes, When they
would quit eating she would put 1t
away until she was hungry again
Every morning and night when we
would milk she would sit by the
door and wait for her meal, When
we gave her milk and bread she
would walk about our feet and purr
In winter we would give her some
straw and she would make her a
nest and her kittens would lie about
her. She was Is years old and died.
Now we got two more cats from
