like this*. 1 am driving my reinleer
over the treetops, when 1 am set

[*h0 pirates m'ake me* hold up my
lands and then divest me of my stock

s about to fly away, leaving me In

nakes a discovery. ?
"Amid the pack of toys he finds a

lis little daughter. My thoughtfulness
n remembering, his little girl, despite
ier father's profession, touches the
landlt's heart. He weeps, and then
o the astonishment of his paid, he
rders them to lift me into the aerolane.
" 'Now, Mr. Claus,' he says, accordag
to the subtitle, *we are going to
leltvdr your toys for you all over the

You have no time to lose. If you don't

"My mind works quickly. I have no

What am I to do? Whiz! Another
shell rips past our airship.
"Ah! I have It. It Is the scheme
that saves the day."
The Interviewer at this point leaped
to his feet and shouted In excitement:
"Well, what do you do to have your

"I wave my white whiskers at 'em,"
replied Santa Claus, proudly. "It Is
the signal of truce. Our lives and our
precious cargo of toys are spared.
