Finished Cross-Continent Flight KIDDIES’ PLEA OVERRULES MANDATE FROM UNCLE SAM Little Boy and Girl Bearing Letters to Santa Claus Get Next to Postmaster McKee and Their Mail Goes Thru — They’ll • Be in Ample Time This Year. Unexpected and .unwelcomed, Santa Claus swooped down In hla aeroplane upon th* local postofllce Monday morn ing. He had come ta take up the ditties of postmaster, whlftt position he as sumes for a short period each year. To say that his coming was a surprise \vould be putting It mildly, for, accord ing to ofllclal ruling,' his regime thert does not begin'until December IB. But the old saint In hls-dllemwa turned to two of his little champions—a tiny boy and a tinier girl, and what barrier, ofll clal or otherwise, will stand before tho sweat touch of childhood's pica? Postmaster McKee arrived at his of fice early Monday morning. He was dressed In a rough suit, and In his hand he carried a gun. He had come to wind up his affairs, preparatory to leaving for a week’s gunning in southern Alabama. One of the first things that met his eyes as he seated himself at his desk was an order from the postofllce de partment, which read: "Santa Claus mall will be received only during the period between Decem ber 15 and January l.” A short time afterward the postmas ter finished what work he had to do, and, calling his assistant to him, laid particular stress on the carrying out of th* Santa Claus order. , Then, picking up his gun and throwing hla hunting bag over his shoulder, ho started for the station. Two Christmas Envoys. He was suddenly halted as ne left the door of tils office which leads Into the main lobby, for there, evidently await ing him, stood a tiny boy and girl. They were holding tightly to each other’s hands, with their free hands they were hugging envelopes to their breasts. /‘Santa Claus,” said th* boy quickly, as he held an envelope before the post, .master. Mr. McKee smiled, thinking the child had mistaken him, in his peculiar cos tume, for the old saint, and prepared to hurry on. Then he turned back. "What do you want?" he asked kindly. "Santa Claus,” repeated the boy, and an eager smile that came to the littlo glrll* fare told full well that she, too, sought tho'same wonderful person. "He won’t b« here until Friday,’’ Said th* postmaster, remembering ths order Two little 1 Ups curled Into pouts L four little eyes dimmed with tears, .. “Too Lots Last Yssr.” "Please let him come today,” he boy faltered. "We want him to get our note* early this year. W« wrote him too late last year and didn't get all the things we wanted.” "Please," llsp«d the little sister. I' was the first word she had spoken. "But th* great postmaster at Wash Ington says he can’t come until Friday.' argued Mr. McKee. "He's not ns great as Santa Claus,” stoutly exclaimed the boy. "Please give him the letters,” plaadeo the little girl.. On* more look Into their eager facet, and the postmaster forgot his gunning trip; forgot the official order; forgot everything except those sweet days of the past whan hla little girl used to com* to hla knee with letters she had written to Santa Claus. A Ruling Set Aside. "Dive me the letters, children." he said huskily, "Santa Claus will come today, and I'll see that he will get them.” The little kiddles watched him eager ly as h* fa-entered ill* otfice with their letters, and then skipped off toward horns, tp tell “mamma" how they had delivered their note* to Santa. Inside th* office, the postmaster was telling th* atory to hi* office force. As he finished, a great ray of sunshine, mo It seemed, burst thru ths window*, and to the postmaster, a* he started once more for the station, the skies, cloudy and overhanging, noemed girded with shafts of silver and gold. 8anta Claus had truly arrived.
