CORA WANTS HER PAY.
But New Canada's School Trustee Is
Holding Back.

The mandamus proceedings instituted
by Cora Wilhelm, the New Canada
school teacher, to compel Henry Mil
lette, the director Of the board Of
trustees Of the school in that town,
to sign her order for one months salary,
came before Judge Lewis yesterday
forenoon for a hearing. The board Of
trustees of the school comprises Henry
Millette, director; Fred Wetherald,
clerk, and George Bowers, treasurer.
Last October, at a meeting Of the
beard Of trustees, Miss Wilhehni was
elected to teach the school for a period
of six months. At the end Of the first
month, the clerk of the board signed
an order for $45 wages due her but
Director Millette declined to counter
sign it, and Miss Wilhelm was unable
to get her money. Hence the order to
show cause why a mandamus should
not be issued compelling him to coun-
ters1gn the order
In his defense, Mr. Millette declares
that Miss Wilhelmi was not legally
elected a teacher, inasmuch as proper
notice was not given of the meeting of
the board at which she was elected.
Mr.. Millette attended that meeting,
but did not participate in the election
of Miss Wilhelm, claiming he had not
received notice Of the purpose of the
meeting.
The cause Of the whole trouble is a
disagreement among the people Of the
school district some of whom were op-
posed to Miss Wilhelm and wanted
E. A. Condor to teach the school. Judge
Lewis took the matter under advise
ment.

A strained silence of half minute elapsed
when again the door was charged. The man
outside threw himself against it with the
same result, only this time the moccasined
foot did not slip. 1t kept its place.
The Elk seemed made of iron; his veins
stood out on his half naked figure like whip
cords and, gantlikc. he kept his self-as-
signed post
"Takc down the barrcades, girl said the
leader of the band.
In spite of herself the mountain girl
smiled. They did not know that the Elk
was the barricadc.
Twice more the door was assaulted with
the same imretuosity; but the defender of
the pair did not move.
AT last the Elk looked down into the face
beside him and caught l.ucy's eye.
The wolves have gone. girl, said he.
They could not break the Indians arm.
Gone! No. In another second fist struck
the portal and voice exclaimed.

band retreated. but the Indian still kept his
strong hands at the well guarded planks.
1t was a long night for the mountain girl
but she had Il companion in her vigil, for she
would not let the rcdskin depart. Slowly
over the wild landscape broke the first
morning of the New Year, and Paul slum
bered, dreamlcss OF the shadows that en-
quilted him during the night just passed.

it was, meant preparation for the worst; but

the men outside threw himself against the
door, the portal shook from top to bottom
and the moccasined foot of the Indian
seemed to slip half an inch-that was all.

from her heart and watched the human bar

pressed and his eyes watched the door be,

Blnky Bangs chucklcd and confided to
himself that he was a genius as he started
forth that stormy Christmas eve. Under
his long ulster he wore the familiar uni
form of Santa Claus, perfect in every de-
tail.
At the big house overlooking the river
only the children and one ''trusty" servant
were at home, for the others OF the house
hold had commenced the festivities of the
merry season. Blinky was to be admitted
by the servant, and, as good Kriss Kringle,
entertain the little ones while securing all
the valuable plumber to be had.
When they saw this perfect counterfeit
of the jolly reindeer driver, they at first
stood in widc-eyed wonder till the sturdy
little Ben advanced with extended hand and

''Hc came in without asking, Paul. For

of her lover and placed it in the strong one

the New Year which was to witness the

From the Youngest up, all of lis can see
something in Christmas, above and beyond
its outward manifestations. 1t commemo
rates the beginning of a life, which countless
millions of the human race have looked upon
as divne-a life Of unselfshness of self
sacrifice, of tenderness, of goodness and of
purity.
We family initiate that life when we heal
a sorrow, make one heart happier or tighten
the burden borne by some tired and weary
wandcrer.
1t may be true that after we have Toasted
and frolicked We go back to the old lives
again. But we can take the spirit of Christ
mas with us. even if the bells arc not ring
ing and there is no holly cleaning from the
wall.
That spirit will have its influence for good.
The more it is cultivated by young and old
the nearer is the world drawing to the
golden year, and as the Christmas bells,
from hill to hill, answer each other in the
mist, we can say:
"Ring in the valiant man and free.
The eager heart, the kirdlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be-
Golden Days.

Half a minute later Lucy Moore came
back to the cot and discovered that the miner
had dropped into deep sleep. The Katy
did mine had been wiped out in the twin
king of an eye by the work OF unknown
sco4tndrels, and Paul Draper had managed
to crawl from the debris to be picked up a
day later and carried to the mountain home
of tho girl who loved him.
Lucy understood it all. She knew of the

the ruhians across the divide, and the mo-
mcrt she looked upon Paul's unconscious;
form she guessed the truth. The villains
had simply dynam;tcd the katydid mine,
and tic wonder was that even one man was
left to tell the tale.
New Years day was to have witnessed
their wedding, but for some time it had
looked more like a burial rs Paul lowered
between life and death, his figure wasted
away and his suiferiugs terrible. Eut she
had watched over him with unccasing
fidelity. She had bcen his constant compan-
ION since his narrow ESCAPE, and whenever
his mind wandered he wanted to know
yiicn ''thc boys would como. The boys
wond never come. for they slept on the
mountain side, and Lacy had not strength
to tell him the truth.
For some time that night the girl con
tinucd to sit at the cot. her gaze rivctcl upon
the white face of her betrothed. The tick,
ing OF clock on rough shelf nailed to the
wall sounded like the strokes OF a trp-ham
MGR, but Lucy did not look up. She watched
the sleeper and her thoughts were with
him.
Suddenly she heard a noise that startled
her from her chair She went to the dool
and put her ear against it while again she
sent swift glance toward Paul.
She had for several days expected visit
from the surgeon across the mountain and
he might be there.

She listened till she heard steps outside
and then, with thrill of JOY, she laid her
hand on the stout barricades OF the frontier
door.
1.-The doctor at last" said Lucy under her
breath, as. without more ado she took down
the plank and opened the portal.
But the next moment she fell back with Il
cry that seemed to drive all the blood from
her checks, and she stood in the middle OF
the room staring at the tablcau before her.
In the room stood a stalwart Indian and
Lucy instinctively glanced toward the
couch.
For moment it seemed as if the noun
tain girl would sink to the floor, but sudden

cried Lucy. "Haven't they done enough:
They blew up the katydid-"
The interruption was a sudden spring by
the Indian and the door. left slightly ajar,
was hurled to with almost crashing force.
At the same time something seemed to fall
against it from the outside, but the palms
of the Indian were against the planks and
with his whole strength he was holding the
enemy at bay.
Lucy watched the red man as he pitted
his powers against the horde at the door,
and for little while she feared that the por
tai would be broken down by the foe.

her troubled face; but his hand frightened
its grip at her wrist.
The stoical Indian at the door did not
stir. He had braced himself like an iron

how long he could hold the door against the

St. Nicholas.

st. Nicholas, as the patron saint of the
children, now termed Santa Claus, was can
onized, died, according to tradition, at
Myra, Italy, and was there buried in the
cathedral crypt. Six hundred years later
his body was taken to Bari, and there in the
eleventh century the great priory of San
Nicholo was built. 1t is at that priory that
on May 9 each year the festival of st.
Nicholas is held with great rejoicing by
pilgrims from all parts OF the world.

Sacred Trees.

The oaks upon which the mistletoe grew
were sacred to the Druids in days of old, and
they used to worship under them in the
most solemn and devout way. When hung
up in room or hall, the beautiful pearly
berries were thought to possess the power OF
keeping away evil spirits and influences

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
1t Has Upon 1t the Stamp of the Di-

The fact that Christmas giving is an ex-

it tends to mutual loss rather than mutual
gain-which is the law of barter-elcvates it
far above trade. The perennial benevolence
which finds its expression in Christmas Civ
ing has the stamp of the divine and the
spiritual upon it, and it argues that there is
