The boys stood and wat eld him skii over the snow outi of sight. lIiiph went on for two (ir tlriee niles this Way. I The le ale to It w ouded strip. 'Ills rudly cheeks glowe'd with delight, as he thought of the adveni turmes he might have here. The farther Into the forest he got, the darker it grew, until finally Ralph couldn't see his land before hie face. There wts only one thing lie knew of to do feel his way out. 0 That was a slow 40 process, b u t Ralph th ou g h t any way out of this dark hole would suilt hin\. In his search for a way out, he found a )lace where the snow - 'seemed to go al Had a Bill's Head most straight up. and Horns. It occurred to himn1 that t hi s might be the side of a mountain, and if lie could get til high enough lie wotild come to daylight. Ile slid down several times, got badly scratched on branches, but that didn't bother him'in the least.. He was deterlmined to get out of tle forest. The mountain proved to le quite high and after an hour or so of climbing Ralph sat down to rest in the snow. As lie rested, he took a good look at what was-before him. What was that up on the top? Why, it looked like a hut, sure enough--i place where he could rest, get something to eat and get warm. Ralph didn't rest long, he wanted to get to the hut. It was a queer little place, lie found upon reaching it, It looked as though a puff of wlud would be enough to blow it over. Ralph knocked at the door very gently for fear of .knocking the house down. The dooM opened, but Ralph started back with surprise, for the objqct before him had -a bull's head and horns, and a man's body, cloven hoofs and a long tall. "Well, my boy," said the creature, "what are you here for? Did you come to help me? I usually have sobe boys come about Christmas time." Ralph gave a shudder. So this was his beloved Santa Claus, who looked and talked like this. WVhy hadn't someone told him? -- "Who 'are you?" stammered Ralph, getting up his courage. "Are you Santa Claus?" The creatulre burst out laughing. It soundhd like thunder. He held his aides and rocked wi'th laughter. R al ph didn't knew ,what to do I sow--was he go- *'U lng to. laugh him spi - t death? bo'led, lie would. Then the crea ture fInally - com say, "No I but I. follow up Santa with my helpers. k We break up the' toysa-for the chil. / dren that they get for Christ. R eacOh es Santa mias. You stay Claus' Castle. hp~re tonight, with mue and then go along with us. It's gr'eat sport breaking up toys." "ENo, I dan't stay," said Ralph, back ing away. "I am in. quest. of .Santa Claus." The beast doubled up with laughter again. Iialp)i thought~ tis an oppor-. ttube time to make his getawaV, so he put on his skis and and started down the miountain. Dangerous?' Anything was better than staying with that 'beast. Ralph seemed to be coining tp a wall. ie jumnped, landed squairely and skinlnell along the sutow for a mile og, more. Looking .up .(he hami't had timo to do this lietore), lie beheld in fr'ont of ilim a groat castle, covem'ed' with tun'ets and towers. * N W, ht have I gotten Into?" d~I * hatet, Riu. He k~Aoeked at the opan all adpiitt#j by two queer. The fairies began to laugh. "Now, you're laughing, too." "Why, this is Santa Clam' castle you're In," nswered the fairies. Ialph let out a yell of delight, throwig ids- capj Into the air. "Well, what's till this noise?" demantded a large, rather rotund, jolly-faced ma'n who entered the hall. , "You're the one I caine all the way to see. I wvonder If you would be too busy to take ine through your work shops?" "No, of course I'm not. Come right allong. "You see, I have my castle divided Into two parts. One side, where they nmike toys for girls, and the other side entirely devoted to boys. I suppose tha %vlere you want to go?" "Sure !" camne the reply. "In this rooni"-he opeiied the door -"I an perfecting an airplane that a boy aoout your age can run and man age easily." ilaiph,wus all eyes, lie couldn't say einough. "Get In ann' try It." "Now, In the, next room," lie con tinued. "I im erfecting a motor that W!1ll tike you up the hIll u fter Your eoast down." Aft'r they had made a tour of all the rooms, Ralph said lie ought to be going. "Well, I want you to see something else out in the garage that helps mae to ge aroundu better. You see, I have my <'tir all fixed up," said Santa. "I put 'halmis onil y back wheels, and thei. taking off the front tires, I rivet these ruiners onto the rIms." "Those wheels fit In the' curves of the ritniers, don't they?" "(Y'S, I mtiade them to fit that way. ".Jiiktp in, Ralph, and I'll show you how my rimners work. Incidentally, I'll take you through my tunnel, so you won't have to pass that horrid creature's house that you were telling me about?* " "That was fine!" exclaimed Ralp, when Sinta stopped, his eyes shining. "ri so glad I had this adventure. I'll get home fine, from here. So long, Santa V" December Twenty-Fifth.

SOMNE SPENDER Can I spend Christmas even ing with-yhou? I'd rather you do your spending before Christmas. T HE sons and daughters of men are of two classes-not the rich or the poor, not the young or the old, not liberals or conservatives, nor even Aristotellans or Platonists, but those who beleve i Santa Claus and those who do not.

To such when the sun goes down and thne west fades the heavens fill with no slining stars.
