| HENRY'S PRESENT
Zezop and his Wiggle Waggles
quickly tled up Santa.
“Welcome to your own party,”
sneered Zezop. “I told you that
you would be sorry for not in
viting us.”
“Let's give him some party
food,” suggested Humphrey wick
edly. “How about some gum
drops?”
Immediately the Wiggle Wag
gles began dumping gum drops
from their pockets—gum drops
which were really the enchanted
‘Santa Land workers and their
'story book friends who had come
‘to the party.
Santa gazed sadly at the gum
drops heaped on the table. The
tip of his own magic wand stuck
from Zezop’s pockei. ¥lf 1 could
only get that,” thought Santa long
ingly. But he knew there was no
chance at all.
Meantime, Mr. Dilly and Henry
hid in the bicycle shop, not know~
ing that Santa had led the Wiggle
Waggles off their trail. All about
the shop were bicycles and tricy
cles, shining bright with newness.
How wonderful they would look
around all the Christmas trees on
Christmas morning! thought Hen~
ry. He forget for & moment that
there very likely wouldn't be any
Christmas morning any more.
He felt in his pocket for the little
present Tweedleknees had given
him. “Do not open until Christ
mas,” Tweedleknees had said.
‘What if there was no Christmas?
Would he never know what his
only present was?
While Henry thought about the
Christmas he’d never have, Mr.
Dilly was planning how to save
Henry and Santa. He did not
know that the Wiggle Waggles had
already captured Santa.
This was his idea: why shouldn’t |‘
he take Santa’s place and let the
Wiggle Waggles capture him while
the real Santa escaped! = =
“ Henry,” said Mr. Dilly. “Lie
down and get some rest.”
The boy was only too willing to
obey. He clutched his Christmas
gift in his hand and stretched out
on the floor. Instantly he fell as
leep. :
Mr. Dilly rummaged around the
shop. The tables and benches had
been overturned by the galloping
Wiggle Waggles. Wrenches, screw
drivers, and pliers were strewn
about. Some of the bicycles had'
been smashed.
Hunting around, Mr. Dilly found
what he wanted. It was an old
work suit of Santas.” It was torn
and dirty but it was red and fur
trimmed.
What a sight Mr. Dilly looked
when he had put it on! Long, thin
Mr. Dilly with Santa’s suit hang
ing on him like a double sheet. He
snatched up rags that lay about
the shop and stuffed them in his
coat, filling out the empty spaces.
Then he glued wads of cotton to
his chin and cheeks to his hair, too,
to make it white and fluffy like
Santa’s.
When he was ready he was the
funniest sight you ever saw. But
anyone looking at him would have
known right away that if he wasn’t
Santa Claus he was someone who
was supposed to be Santa Claus.
He ducked out of the bicvcle
shop and started off for Santa’s
cotage. He couid hear tne wiggie
Waggles whooping it up over there.
~ *“Jingie belis, jingie beiis,” sang
out Mr. Dilly, trying te sound very
gay and jaunty. “Here comes San
ta himself!”
With that he burst inio the coi~
tage. Instantly he saw Santa all
tied up and he knew his whole
plan was ruined. But it was too
late to do anything. The aston
ished Wiggle Waggles looked first
at him and then at the real Santa
and then back again.
Finally Zezop said, “Maybe it’s
all done with mirrors, maybe not.
Anyway, now we have two San
tas.”
Well, I guess that would have
been the end of everything if it
hadn’t happened that just about
that time little Henry over in the
bicycle shop worke up. When he
found Mr. Dilly gone he thought
the Wiggle Waggles had gotten
him and would soon get him, too.
“That being so, there’s no rea=-
son I shouldn’t open my Christmas
present right now,” he said to
himself. “After all, it’s the only
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
g:uentleverhtdendl’mmre
trick Tweadleknees wouldn'’t
mind if he knew how it was.”
So he tore the wrapping from
the little box and peeup:’i inside,
What he saw was & golden
feather covered with tiny silver
writing. For cne whole minute he
stared open mouthed reading the
words on the feather.
Suddenly he cried out with joy.
Then, his face lit with happiness
and the feather tight in his hand,
he whispered softly to himself.
Next: A Merry Christmas to All
Chapter 17
A MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO ALL
At the very instant Henry whis
pered to himself in the bicycle
‘shop a most remarkable thing
'hannpened in Santa’s cottage.
The Wiggie Waggles who held
Santa and Mr. Dilly suddeniy iet
them go. Four of the Wiggle
Waggles who were pulling and
kicking at each other in a corner
stopped fighting and fell to hug
ging and kissing one another.
A kind and friendly smile sud
deniy spread across Z2zop's ugly
face. “Le. me untie you,” he said
to Santa. Immediately he and a
dozen willing helpers unwound
the scarf that bound Santa’s arms
~nd legs.
“Is there anything else you
would like?” asked the amazingly
changed Zezop.
“Why—yes. If you would just
let me have my magic wand,
please,” murmured Santa, hardly
daring to hope the creature
would obey.
But Zezop instantly obeyed.
“I'm so sorry to have troubled‘
you,” he said politely and held
out the wand. |
Quickly Santa waved the wand |
above the gum drops which were
scattered over floor and table.
“Come back,” he whispered.
“Come back to your proper
shapes.”
Slowly they came back: Mrs.
Claus, Peter Pan, Jack Frost,
Pinocchio, Father Time, Boy Blue,
The Sand Man and all the Santa
Land folk and all the other
guests at the party.
Soon all the gum-drops had dis
appeared. The cottage was over
flowing with folk, little and big,
friend and enemy.
But who was the enemy? Sure
1y not these pleasant-faced soft
voiced, gentle-mannered Wiggle
Waggles!
At this moment Henry raced
into the cottage. When he saw
' what had happened he ran up to
lPatrick Tweedleknees. A
“I opened my present and I
made my wish!” criec Henry.
“H-hmph,” said Patrick. “Tisn’t
Christmas yet. You weren’t sup- |
posed to open it until Christmas.” |
“But you’d still be a gum drop
if I hadn’t,” laughed Henry. |
“What's all this apout?” asked
Santa. “What present? What
wish?”
“pPatrick Tweedlenees gave me
u Christmas present,” explained
Henry. “I just opened it. Here it
is.” He held out the tiny gold
feather. Santa bent to read the
silver writing.
“Whisper one wish and it will
come true,” he read. “Well—and
what did you wish?”
“Why,” said Henry. “I wished
the Wiggle Waggles would turn
into the kindest creatures in the
whole world and stay that way
forever.” '
It was .. wish that really came
true. The Wiggle Waggles had
become the world’s kindest, most
loving creatures. They werc so
gentle and so soirry for all the
‘wickedness they had done that
Santa told them they could stay
forever in Santa Land and help
him with his work.
- “When all this kissing and hug
}ging is over, somebody better get
to work,” growled Patrick Twee
dleknees. “O. have you forgotten
tomorrow is Christmas day?”
With songs and shouts the
workers, the Wiggle Waggles and
| the story book folk headed for the
shops to repair the broken toys
and load Santa’s b'g red sleigh.
In a little while Zezop returned.
“I forgot this one,” he said sor=-
rowfully. He dug a crumpled
orange gum drop fr)m his pocket.
“T bit a piece of it but it did not
taste so good as 1 thought it
would.”
Santa waved his wand over the
candy. Suddenly it vanished. In
its place stood Seren.. the talking
duck.
‘ “Holy moly, rahdedoo and
ketchuptoo!” squawked the duck.
“My tail feathers are gone!”
“Well, iust be glal Zezop didn’t
| like the taste of you or you
wouldn’t be here at all,” laughed
- Santa.
They went out where the sleigh
stood loaded and with -all their
ifriends waiting around it. When
‘ they climbed in Santa picked out
'a large white package and gave
ii to Mr. Dilly. “Merry Christ
mas,” he said.
“Open it! Open it!” cried every-

The egourses on better reading
habits were begun when Dr. A. S.
Edwards, head of the University's
psychology department, concluded
that there were some students who
fell behind simply because they
could not read well enough to
-understand college textbooks.
Reading classes for freshmen
students in this classification were
jorganized under Dr. Edwards’
supervision. The classes are vol
’untary and are taught by Miss
Emeliza Swain and Charles Orr in
the student guidance center.
| Comprehension of material is
| stressed in the classes where per=
| sonal attention is the keynote. Un=
derstanding an author’s thought

Although the program is still in
its infancy, Miss Swain says that
so far results have been good.
