"One moving picture firm wants to

like this: 1 am driving my reindeer
over the treetops, when 1 am set
uf?on by a band of aeroplane pirates.
The pirates make me*hold up my
Jiands and then divest me of my stock
of toys. Just when the bandltp'.sno
is about to fly away, leaving me in
distress, the chief of the robbers
makes a discovery.
"Amid the pack of toys he finds a
rag doll. By the tag around its neck
he sees that it has been addressed to
nis little daughter. My thoughtfulne3s

to the astonishment of his pal3 he
orders them to lift me Into the aoroplane.
" "Now. Mr. Claus,' he savs, according
to the subtitle, 'we are going to
deliver your toys for you all over the
world tonight. Give us directions and
we will fly wherever you command.'
"So at my direction; the bandits

all the trouble.
"The race continues through the

I want to raise the white nag as a
token of surrender. I fledge myself
to the captain of the pirate aeroplane that
I will plead the cause of himself

police will do them no harm, after I
have explained their kindness in carrying
my toys all over the world.

'Hurry up and do something
