Off Again
Stevie climbed out of the wind-
ow into the sleigh and gingersnap
cracked his. Whip in the air. The
six little reindeer shook there
heads and they were off, rushing.
through the night air, Soon it
began to get very cold And Stevie
shivered. Gingersnap dragged out
a searlet cloak from the back of
'the sleigh and Stevie "huddled in-
to it, Faster they went, and fas-
ter, and then far ahead Stevie
could see brilliantly colored lights
dancing on snow,
"That's the ,Aurora Berealis,"
said Gingersnap .cracking, his whip
again, "The Northern Lights, you
know. We're nearly there now.;;
Suddenly Stevie saw something
gleaming In the starlit sky ahead
Of them, Ne. rubbed his eyes in
amazement, but it was still there.
"It's a flying saucer," he shout-
ed against the wind, "A real fly-
ing saucer." OP •
"Course 'it is—Santa's own spec-
ial flying saucer—that's what
we've got the equipment .in and
without that piece of tinsel in
your hand she just can't
"But, flying saucers," gasped
Stevie, "They're not ,real—every-
body says they're not real,"
Gingersnap's loud laugh boom,
ed across the sky, "This one is,
Stevie my lad, and it's the 'only
flying saucer in the world. Santa
built it specially in case we had
to move," .
As Gingersnap finished speak-
ing the sleigh pulled in beside the
huge silver saucer. The little man
pointed to, a door in the side of
the,saucer, "In you go, Stevie—
Santa's in there waiting for you.

A GAY AM) HAPPY CIIMSTMASI
I've' got to take these reindeer
n dowtO the stables,""
Stevie opened the door and en,
teed the ship.. A little elf inside
took' hire straight to the Control.
13,004.1 and there was Santa, with
his scarlet suit and white beard
and all. Santa showed Stevie a
little metal 1)01c with a. glass
"This is where the piecef magic
tinsel is kept, It's very special
magic, When we turn this dial
on the side of the box, the saucer
can go in and land right at, the
North Pole, One of the porthol-
es was open and somehow the lid
of the box was knocked to the
floor, The tinsel must have ,pne
out. through the porthole, !..."
"And fell right in front of my
house," finished SteVici
• Magic Rubbed Ott
w'fillat's. right Stevie," Santa
said, "and because you thuched.it,
some of the magic has rubbed off
on to you. If ,you put the tinsel
back into the lioN there, why we
can land at the Pole and get all
this equipment unloaded. It's on-
ly five months to Christmas and
we still have lots to do."
Stevie laid the piece of magic
tinsel in the box and carefully
closed the lid.
Santa said, "Now turn that dial
to 'N' Stevie,"
Stevie turned the dial on the
side of the box and instantly there
was •a weird upside-down feeling
in his tummy. In a few minutes
there was a bump and the feeling
left his. tummy
"We're here," ' said' Santa.
"Would you like to come with me
and watch them unloading?"
Stevie was so excited by now
that he could only nod. Santa
took his hand and led him out of
the ship into an enormous hangar
all made of ice and they stood
and watched elves unload the ship. r cannot tell you all the wond-
erful things that were taken out
and stacked in Santa's work-
shop. . . there were dells and
dollhouses, and soldiers and forts
and farmhouses and tops and
bicycles and red wagons and sleds
and skates and- balls 'and building-
bricks. In fact, every kind of toy
that you could ever imagine was
taken .out of that flying saucer.
When all the toys had been un-
loaded, Santa ,took Stevie on a
tour of the North 'Pole, and Stev-
ie saw the Past Office where all
year long the elves sorted out the
wishes (for every time you wish
few something, the wish goes
straight up-to the North Pole, and
then at Christmas Santa chooses
the best wishes and packs them, in
his sleigh). Stevie saw the Sugar
Plum room and the Christmas
Tree room' and the Magic Sand-
of-dreains room where the fairies
pack the magic sand that makes
good little bays and girls sleep
tight all Christmas Eye.
The last room that' Stevie saw
was the "Don't-Believe-in-Santa"
room. And here gnomes were busy
wrapping up ties and• scarves and
gloves. Stevie asked Santa why
there were no toys here and Santa
said, "Well, you see Stevie, a lot
of people, when they grow up,
just don"t believe fin me anymore.
But even though" they don't be-
lieve in me, I still have my job to
do. Mostly, they just '"wish for
scarves or gloves' or .such, Some-
times I do get a wish for an elec-
tric train or a cruise round the
world . . . but not very often.
People don't wish much when they
no longer believe in. me, They
still get gifts though."
Tiny Reindee'rs
At last they came to the stables,
and there was Gingersnap just
harnessing the six tiny reindeer.
"Well Stevie," said Santa, "It's
time for you to go now. Because
you were honest and Unselfish,
you deserve a special wish. What
would you like for Christmas, .
something extra special now?"
Stevie didn't have to think. "A
basset hound . . a real live basset
hound with long ears and short
legs—only Mother says I can't
have a dog because he'd only
scratch the garden. But that's
what I'd really like."
Santa smiled, "We'll work on it
for you Stevie, Bye now, and
thank you again."
Steve climbed into the sleigh,
waved to Santa and in no time
at all vv.as..back home in his own
bed.
All this happened way back last.
Summer, and things happened at
Christmas. Stevie didn't write a
letter to Santa this year because
he knew what he. was going to
get---a real live basset hound with
long ears 'and short- legs.
And" was I so sure? It was
whispered in my; ear by a little
man with a long white beard and
a 'pointed red cap. Santa didn't
fail. And Stevie's been an ex-
ceptionally happy boy ever since.
he' picked up that gift under the
Christmas tree on Christmas
morning.
