This alley was of such a nature f that it had never been visited by those j raya of pleasant light that shine from , Christmas trees or those cheering gifts 1 that do go much to make little folks and big folks happy. It was a dull and dirty place, where patched clothes hung .Upon clotheslines and dogs ’ fought over bones; where there was' not much to wear, not much to eat, not much peace. So' that Santa Claus, taking the wrong tum, found himself In a strange locality, and, after peering about in th e , unlighted gloom, had to confess that he was lost For a moment his merry face was clouded, but, catching sight of a gleam- in Degpard’s shop, he pushed open his door and entered- Laying down ode of his large bundles, that was marked "For vtbe Forgotten Ones/: he was about to go upstairs, hoping to. find out where he ■was, when ■ a -voice In’ the darkness said, l'Hello, papa’s boy 1 /Want to talk to papa a little? Well, can’t see ,to talk to papa In the xlark 1” . Frightened for the first time In his life, Santa Claus made for the door and rushed- out, But he left the bundle behind him l—Christopher G. Hazard.
