| THE STRIKE AT
! SHELTON SCHOOL |
BY JULIA ,. DEAlR
BY JULIA ,. DEAIR


Ever since Maggie Mcclure had en-
tered as a trembling. bashful primary,
the Shelton school had been ruled by q
lady principal. While she held in her
hand a scepter. she SO skillfully con-
-cealed 1t with feminine arts and charms
that not one of her little subjects
dreamed he was anything but free
and Independent republican.
II had happened that the powers that
be had decreed that this dearly beloved
wielder Of the scepter should be dis
placed by a common man, who had yet
to learn that the art of concealing his
scepter was of more value with these
small subjects than many high-sound-
ing titles.
Now Miss Mullins was round and
rosy Of face. with tendrilly curls that
knew not the curling iron. Miss Null
Inns also had an extremely popular
way of making one so happy that one
forgot ones skill In making spit balls.
Consequently when the news was
spread abroad that Miss Mullins had
been displaced by q common man
every citizen and citizeress within
reach of the beams Of her merry eyes
felt 1t a personal grievance, and there
was drafted an imposing document To
be submitted to the principal, threat
ening dire but somewhat indefinite
things.
The responsibility of leadership was
weighing upon Maggie's youthful shout
ders, for 1t was Maggie who had hbor-
iously drafted the document of pro-
test, with frequent trips to dictionary,
and 1t was Maggie who had insisted on
an organization of the grieved ones
and had made them solemnly promise
to do great deeds out of loyalty to Miss
Mullins. Consequently, as matter OF
course, 1t was Maggie who had been
unanimously elected as the leader OF
the new union.
One morning when Principal Hefter
mounted the steps to the school build
ing, crowd of defant-faced young
sters met him. They stood at the en-
trance of yard and doors, self-consti-
tuted pickets, labeled In gaudy letters:
