and Nick gave Ishtu the
1 Eskimo all their magical charms
to keep for them. Ishtu put them
into his little carved box, even the
Magic Green Shoes, and slid the lit
tle box under some bear skins in a
corner.
“Now they are safe,’’ he said. “No

tell what traveler may come this way
and walk off with your precious be
longings.”
“That’s right,” nodded Nick. “Be
cause there is a wicked wizard who
is trying to keep us from getting to
the South Pole. He is a friend of
Snitcher Snatch who stole all the
toys made for little boys’ and girls'
birthdays and he doesn’t wish us to
get them back. We think it was this
wizard who turned the Arctic Circle
into an ice wall so we couldn’t get
past. But we got through because
we had the golden key.”
“What’s his name?” asked Ishtu.
“He’s called the Bobadil Jinn,”
answered Nick.
Ishtu started. “So you know
about him!” he exclaimed. “Who
told you?”
“Santa Claus,” answered Nick.
“And this wicked wizard can take
any form at all.”
“But we'll always know him be
cause he smells like hyacinths,” put
in Nancy, “so we are not afraid.”
“Ishtu buttoned up his coat high
er around his neck and pulled his
hood over his eyes.
“Well,” said he, “here’s some nice
hot soup for you both. If you eat
■ this and rest a little, you’ll be able
to continue your journey all the bet
i ter.” As he finished speaking he
waved his hand three times over the
pot and said some queer words.
“What’s that for?” asked Nick
curiously.
“That’s + he way 1 always season
my soup,” answered Ishtu. “Won’t
you come and eat?”
Nancy and Nick sat down before
the steaming bowls of hot soup that
Ishtu the Eskimo set before them.
“Now, children,” said he, as he
watched them devouring great spoon
fuls of the tasty stuff. “When you
are through eating you may take -
nap on my warm bed.”
The little boy and girl thanked
him and drained their bowls to the
last drop*. Such a sleepiness was
coming over them suddenly that they
could not keep their eyes open. They
almost fell into the wali-bed that
Ishtu showed them, and before their
heads touched the pillow they were
sound asleep.
The red sun made his short jour
ney iow down in the sky from
horizon to horizon, 1 and finally with
a good-natured wink slipped behind
an iceberg and disapepared. The
blue shadows got colder and bluer
and darker, and the stars came out
one by one, making the frosty world
look still colder and frostier.
And still the twins slept.
After while Nick turned over and
yawned. “Wake up, Nancy,” he
said, “it is time for us to go.”
Suddenly he stared up at the sky
and the twinkling startr which he
could see plainly. Had something
blown the roof of Ishtu’s house?
Nancy sat up and began to start,
too! For there was no house anymore
and no fire and no warm bed nor
covers. No Ishtu either! Every
thing had gone and they were out
in the midst of a big snow field alone.
“Our magic charms!” cried Nick,
looking around for the carved box.
‘They are all gone!”
Just then they heard a mocking

she exclaimed. “Ishtu must have
been the wicked wizard and he has
stolen them.”
