Thai little folks have gleaned front the intellectual crumbs of the parental table, that two washfoiiclt ling bandits have Invaded Santa Cluus' domain and have related everything else they saw but the one thing of vital Interest which Is having been . discovered will Ban to, Claus remove his chattels from the pole to some other planet, will he In confusion dis solve into thin air and never be heard of more T 1 or, blessed thought, mav hap the magnetic North may have conspired with Ldlllputs patron sain'., and by the slightest deviation of the . deadly compass caused a miscalcula tion that kt will take centuries to dis cover. The momentous question ha shaken ths nursery to Its foundation, for Banta Claus has used the North Pole as a hitching post for hi rein deer since the beginning of the world, and to have it turned into n bone of contention would be an embarnuwln i Intrusion not readily overcome. They might have left It alone, of course, because no one would ever wlah to live there and its very Inaccessibility was the reason that Banta Claus o 1 acted ft a his home and work shop beyond the reach of prying eyes. There (till a grain of comfort In the thought that no mortal will ever live there, and after all Santa Claus might not have been at home on th- : memorable day when the explorer-, discovered the polo in whkh happy event, the life of trnod Krl Xrtngle will continue undlsturlMHl.
