A Christmas Story .Fof Good Little ' Girl's and Boys. - BY HOWARD'EARL. ’ [Copyright, lBOl, by Hamilton M ust], ^•YERY child who reads this story doubtless remembers, the time, .not long ago, when Santp Claus appar­ ently forgot to put In his or her Stocking, the toys that had been, especially asked for, when, In short, it- really looked In the morning as though Santa Claus had actually failed ,to Icome at all. Now, the fact is that Santa' • did not come,1and, though the neWs of his fdllure was suppressed at.the time, I nm at lost able to reveal the secret. One day shortly before- that Christ­ mas Santa Claus was feeling very'blue because Francer and Dancer were get­ ting old, and Bllfzen was so much "off his feed”- that It was very doubtful whether-the reindeer team could start on it* great-annual present delivery run .on Christmas eve. Santa knew that millions of children would be very "much disappointed If he did not -visit their homes. He had; received such A lot of letters and telephone messages from good little gitls and boys asking for drums and dolls and bicycles and all sorts of toys that a Wg tear or two rolled down pis bearded-cheek as he thought of the* sad .looks the children- Would wear should ,he fail to come, Suddenly Santa’s face brightened. "Sayl” he shouted. "What’s the mat­ ter with my trying one of those new naughtymobilea? They never get old and stiff In the Joints like Francer and Dancer and aro never 'off their feed’ like poor Blitzen. -The reindeerless age has come, and I must be strictly up to date. I’ll order a naugbtymoblle this very day.” ' When the beautiful machine came, Santa was as tickled as a little boy with a new red wagon. He was so anxious to take a spin In his big Uew reindeerless toy delivery wagon that he did not wait for the automobile teacher to come and eho# him how it worked, Leaping In, he turned the power on suddenly, and the machine gave such a Jump forward tbftt poor fat Santa bounded up in the air like a rubber ball and then nearly bounced off into the snow when he came down on the seat again. He. flit his tongue terribly, too, and you know bow that hnrts, but be bad'Ho time to think Of (t because the machine was zipping toward the north pole like the lightning exprer-t going down grade. Dozens of explorers are anxious to moke dashes for the pole, hut as It Is Very icy and Very hard none of them Would care to run into it With an auto­ mobile going a mile a minute. Santa Claus felt exactly the same way about It, and, giving the steering gear a quick twist, he jnsf mlssed-flndlng thC pole by about two inches and dashed straight for bis big toy factory at the same terrific speed. "Heavonsl I wish somebody’d move that building out Of the way, and move it mighty quick!” he though! clinch* Ing his teeth and giving the Steering rod another Jerk, "if I ever hit that toy factory, there won’t be even a pink elephant left for the children to smash, and thUe won't be any Santa Clans left, either! Who*! Hawl £leel“ The automobile swerved sharply to tlie left on two wheels, ran over a polar bear that didn't turn out quick enough And then made a bee tine tor the big barn and yard where the reindeer were kept, Wheu they saw the strange thing coming, the reindeer snorted in stirprlto and began pawing the snow, Blitzen, who was rather hgly because he had the stomach ache, Jumped the fence, lowered his head afid’ charged straight thWard the machine, which doubled him up like a Jackknife and sent him dying over the bam aa easily as n toy Would bat a rubber ball. l*oor BHtsenl Be never knew what struck him. m tor? the other reindeer, they kicked up thefr heels, broke down the fence and ran for dear life Just-as 3ania m a the Automobile, or, to to more- exact, the i automobile and Santa, tore the bam doors from their hinges, roared through * the bam into & cyclone and then start-5 #d straight for the south pole, j We are Headquarters for Holidays.
