pa, think he's comming, interrupted
Fred as he again climbed dovr
and ran TO the window. Nothing
doing" he said with much disgust and
gave a signal with his arm like the
fagman does when telling a train to
60.
Grandpa obeyed the signal and con-
tinued: 'sHe lived under the care of
the fairies until he grew to be quite
a man. Then the queen ordered her
fairy workmen to build Claus a hut,
as he was a morta and could not live
the way the fairies did, any longer.
Claus had lots Of time when he rot
into his new home and he occupied il
by carving things The fairies had
taught him how TO whittle and he he
gan making all sorts of toys.
There was q village some distance
from his hut and every time he hear,.
Of a little boy or girl down in the
village who was sick, he took them
one of his little toys. The children
grew to like him ever so much. After
a while he became acquainted with
so many children that he found Ii
hard TO get around and see them all
so often. He decided that he would
work all year making toys. and then
go around and find out which of the
children had been good, and leave
them presents.
when the fairies heard of this
plan they were delighted and gave

and a boy Of perhaps six, on the other
knee.
"But grandpa, I.don't see why Santa
Claus doesn't come" said little Doris
I'VE have waited so long out here IN
this old kitchen"
Y At this, Master Fred laboriously
climbed down from his grandpa's knee
and ran oveRto the kitchen door, and
then to the window.

can't even see him coming"
well, you know" said grandpa, as
Fred climbed back upon his knee
Santa Claus was a little boy once
himself, and he knows how impa-
tient little boys are He has a hard
time, though. Every year he has
more boys and girls to bring toys to
than he had the year before"
But grandpa" said Doris, II never
knew Santa Claus was ever a little
boy"
"Oh. yes" asserted grandpa firmly.
Once upon time a group of fairies
