was usual. That peeping child will
also tell you that before she went
back up the chimney, she gave baby
a kiss on his pink cheek, thing St.
Nicholas (who is as afraid of babies
as a burglar is, and for the same rea-
sony has never been known to do.
And mother will you believe me,
In spite of having stopped to kiss all
the babies, was back at the North
pole a whole hour earlier than St..
Nicholas had ever been able to make
it, even in his younger days. Her
work was we'll done, too! But in
spite Of the early hour, she found the
children and her husband waiting for
her. st. Nicholas welcomed her back
more affectionately than the children.
Il woke in the middle Of the night"
he said, tout of such horrid dream
all about crying children and sad
mothers. Bless you, good wife, for
not letting that dream come true"
"Oh, don't mention it," said Mother

Indeed, it did me good. I think, IA

st. Nicholas looked thoughtful at
that. He paced up and down the
floor. Then he came and stood in
front OF Mother Nicholas, straighten-
ing up and looking almost as young

And mother, who, after all, only
wanted everybody to be happy, made
him some grtddle cakes for his break

pole, and as usual on. the
day before Christmas, st. Nicholas
had been hurried and rather grumpy.
Only this time, Mother ,. Nicholas
thought to herself that he was just
a bit. grumpier than she had ever
known him. And at suppertime she
found that she was right.
He came into the kitchen, closing
his workshop door with a bang, and
sat down with all the little Nicholases
to his porridge.
'Well, I've said it BEFORE" he
growled, "but this time mean it. The
children down there In the world will
get nothing from my pack this night.
It's time they were taught a lesson -
All the little Nicholases gasped, but
Mother Nicholas only asked calmly !:
why, what is the matter now, IA
Their? After you've been working for
them the whole year, you wouldn't
go and disappoint the poor dears
would you?"
Eyes, I would" declared St. Mich
olas, swallowing his porridge in great
gulps, and pretending that he was not
a saint at all. "Half Of them go around
saying that there isn't any st. Nicho-
las, poking fun at me, and laughing
in their sleeves. and the other half
think it makes no difference whether
they are good children or not, I'll fill
their stockings just the same. It's a
thankless job, tell you. And I'm
too old man for it. Sol"
Come" said Mother Nicholas, sooth-
ingly, "here is plate of griddle cakes.
When you have eaten you will see
things differently"
mo, when I have eaten I shall go
to bed. That's where an old fellow
like me belongs, an old fellow who
children don't believe in"
Mother saw that he was determined,
and that there was nothing to do for
1t, since griddle cakes wouldn't help.
So she put her finger to her lips to
motion the children silent, and went
on quietly about her work. And when
St. Nicholas had finished his supper,
he did roll away to bed, only telling
the little Nicholases to be sure to hang
their stockings, for they had been good
children all the year and still believed
In him.
The minute the door closed behind
him the little Nicholases burst into
excited chatter. ooh, what a pity
Those poor children! Surely there
must be some good ones! Oh dear
what fun will Christmas be to us If
all the children in the world down
there are unhappy!'
"What indeed!" Mother Nicholas
shook her head and looked often at
