Spider Barlow's Soft Spot

17/12/1915

Twas the day before Christmas and all through the house burglars, Spider and Spike find no indication that the holiday will be a merry one for them. They pass a group of poor urchins looking longing at a store window full of toys and hit upon the idea to give the youngsters a Christmas which they will long remember. The wealthy Perry’s have bought many toys for their spoiled children and set them under the tree. When they retire, Spider in Santa Claus garb grab the gifts and make straight for the homes of the waifs where they deposit the many toys then spy on the youngsters’ joy in the morning.
