Chapter Three The New Doll

CANTA sprang from his bed O the next morning the min ute the sun pink-tinted the icicles hanging outside his window. He hummed little tune as he pulled on his red brooches. He hummed as he tugged a silver comb through his long, white beard.
 That was the day he meant to make a doll for the King of West phalia. It was to be doll like none you or 1 have ever seen. She was to be tall as a lady. And at mid night she was to have the power to talk to her owner about all the things that would interest a King.
 So Santa was thinking hard by the time he went out into the Toy shop workroom. Mrs. Santa was setting breakfast. She put out pretty pewter dishes for Santa and herself. Little, tiny crystal dishes for the visiting woods fairies. Bright red dishes for the soldiers and the dolls.
 Santa was so silent at breakfast that Mrs. Santa asked, Are you worried about this doll?"
 Santa put down his cup, scratch ed his forehead, and said, "Well, I guess I am. I don't seem to see just how to make her. What do you think she ought to be?"
 Plenty Of Ideas
 Quick as a flash Mrs. Santa said, "She should have faith if she is to comfort the King"
 Right" said Santa, land what else?"
 "She must think of other people before herself" said the captain of the soldiers.
 Mot too pretty" said another soldier.
 NO? How?" asked Santa.
 "Oh," said woods fairy, make her thoughtful looking with large eyes and mouth that smiles easily"
 "She should speak only the ruth" said tin soldier.

and heaven and earth? That's what we need for the King"
 "Wait and see," said the Fairy Queen and she twirled on her tiny toes. Mrs. Santa had walked to Santa's side and now she touched the long, full sleeve of the dolls dress. It was shimmering, blue chiffon just as she had wished, and about the dolls neck was a lovely silver chain made in the pattern of little clover leaves. And in her long yellow hair were some corn flowers.
 "She looks as wished" said Mrs. Santa. "So she must be as you wished. Now you must wait until midnight to find out"
 There was great excitement in the Toyshop that day. Santa went straight back to his work. And so did all the fairies that make dolls and wagons and doll furniture and horns and strings of beads. But they all kept stealing glances at the new doll.
 After dinner the toys and fairies went to bed. Santa filled his pipe and sat down by the fire to wait for midnight.
 TOMORROW: The son of Light ming comes to the Toyshop.

The Standardized Trotter

The history of the American
standardized trotter goes back to
a horse named Messenger, thor
oughbred, foaled in England in 1880.
Messenger was imported in 1888 and
lived to be % years old. It was dis
covered that Messengers offspring
were particularly adept at trotting
rather than running-hence the birth
of the roadster, as the standard
bred horse is commonly called. Per-
haps the most widely known of
standardized strains is the Ham
bletonian-derived from the great
grandson of Messenger and a re-
markable producer of fast trotters,
writes Capt. Maxwell M. Corpening
in the Chicago Tribune. The stand
ard-bred strain is not as pure as
some others because of infusions
made for improvements. These,
however, according to trotting horse
enthusiasts, have all been absorbed
and they say the registered stand
ard-bred is just as clean and blue
blooded as any other.
The trotter Is used mostly for
show purposes in the roadster
classes and in racing.
