"Looks as if my work Is just

to rest with us. You must get

"Our daughter's coming
home" Santa Claus Brown
smiled happily. .
.
CLOCK struck six. Christmas
bells began to peal merrily.
The light of dawn, just break
ing, sifted Into the living room of
the Carter house. Jerry and Mr.
and Mrs. Carter , were still sleep
ing In their chairs. Upstairs, the
children had just awakened.
"Come quick," Betty cried to
her brothers. "He's been here. I
heard himt I saw him! I was going
to wake you up but I was. afraid
he'd be scared away."
"Aw, baloney," said Pete, de
risively. "There ain't no Santa
Claus. V7e won't have nothln'."
They were on their way down
stairs. "Gee," exclaimed Joe, "don't
talk like that yet Wait and see
he might"
They came Into view" of the
living room. They did not see
their Barents nnr .Tm. ,..,
awakening. They saw nothing but
the toys, and rushed toward them
ecstatically. Pete followed slight
ly behind the two younger ones,
bewildered, ashamed. He viewed
the scene and scratched his head.
"Pop never could have bought I
u mis,- ce exclaimed. "Betty,
did you say you saw Santa ClausT
No pipe dream?"
"I saw him." Betty cried excit
edly. "I heard him." She picked
up a burlap bag. "Here's his sack.
He forgot his sack. Oh, I hope he
has other sacks with him. I hope
he didn't leave all his toys here
by mistake!"
She saw her parents and ran
over to hug them, smiling up at
Jerry.
Above the excited clamoring of
the children, Jerry said to Mrs.
Carter:
"Your husband tolls me he used
to work at the Palais Royalc."
"Yes, he did," she replied.
"Then he thought he could make
a go of an engineering job, and
he could have, too, It it hadn't
been for the depression. Building
stopped so suddenly. He's a fine
worker, my husband, and a man
of great courage."
Pete ran toward them with his
airplane.
"Hey, pop, look at that propel
ler go round geee!"
"How would you like to be
floorwalker, Mr. Carter?" Jerry
asked him. "I heard pop say he
needs one. Work up from there?"
"Floorwalker?" Mrs. Carter's
tone made the job sound impres
sive. "That's fine. Just have to
stand and look handsome. That'll
be easy for you, dad. And," she
put an understanding arm around
him, "you won't be all worn out
You'll be able to keep right on
studying your engineering, till
you can get back Into it again."
Carter tried to speak, but was
interrupted by the children, who
came running to him with their
arms full of toys.
Jerry reached into his pocket
and palled out the sprig of mis
tletoe he had taken from his
home the night before. He got up
and hung it over the entrance to
the living room.
"Good old mistletoe," he smiled.
"How about a little real Christmas
spirit?" '
The door opened and Alice
Banks came In.
