THnH9fi9 SILVER Sums shufiled up the white stone steps. The United States Post Oliice had never looked so stern, so forbidding. With her last ounce of strength she flung open the heavy door and proceeded into the noisy interior. A half hour later the chilly Santa Claus was still ringing his bell. He gazed wistfully at the passing young girl, wishing he could contract some of that sincere spirit. Her eyes were twinkling, her lips parted in breath- less excitement. He caught sight of a pair of shining cowboy spurs jingled in his direction, He had to smile at the girl's captivating enthusiasm. Merry Christmas, Santa, she said softly. Brad had remembered. It had been a long time-but he had remem- bered. She hurried on whispering to herself the words in Brad's note, To Mandy, with all my love. Granny A little boy and girl Climb upon her knee And bring the sunshine closer To a Granny who can't see. She tells them fairy tales, Quotes poems and funny rhymesg Counts baby fingers, one to ten, Oh, so many times! When the day is o-ver, Ot? to bed they start. She hears them patter up the stairs, The darlings of her heart. But there will be tomorrow And clamoring at her knee, , They'll beg another story From a Granny who can't see. Cncrmn Tnuxxau., '50 The Inside Story Continued from Page II that my paper soon lost that un- touched by human hand look. The minutes liew by, the test was over and I knew that I had failed. The elf on my pen carefully unseated him- self, the other took one last swing on my lock of hair fand poked me in the eyej and the remaining ones left my shoulder. Together they sauntered off, proud that they had accomplished their mischief. Through investigation, I learned that these elves are relatives of Sandy. He sends them to make us fail because he loves us too much to want us to leave Hallahan. And thereby hangs the tale.
