When she saw it, she was-rather,glad she did-go, for what do you think was there? —A low, green door in one of tho rocks in the clearing of the bush where they always played games together! "Let'sgo in," was Mamie's suggestion. "Yes, of course," answered Nan. So they opened the door and went inside; but the door banged behind them, and they couldn't get out. "Dear, dear," said Nan helplessly. "Still, don't worry, but folloiv me. ' Then something is sure to happen, sooner or later." "What's that written on tho door over there? Why, it's 'The Entrance to Santa Claus' Cave'!" So in they both -went, and before they knew whore they wore they found themselves standing before Santa Claus and . all his sacks of toys.
