One cold Christmas eve mother and
her two children sat by the fire talking
of the past happy Christmas and of the
dearly loved papa who had gone to the
war a few months before and who had
not returned when the soldiers came
home. One of his comrades had seen
him fall in battle, but though he
searched for him afterward no trace of
him could be found. At the time Mr..
Arnold left his wife and children they
had a lovely home, but sickness had
forced Mrs. Arnold to rent the beauti-
full house where they had been SO
happy and contented and live in tiny
cottage some distance from the city.

The doctor had said her head had been

pain, but she steadily grew better.

had gone for a visit to one of hey
friends in Spokane, and her train had
been wrecked near Kennewick. As this
had happened three months ago and they
had not heard from Edithe, Grandpa
Darlington went and found the conduc-
tor of that train and asked if he knew
anything about her. The conductor
told him that a girl had been found
dead and that it must have been

and tell the sad news to Grandma and
Harry Darlton, Edithe's afanced hus-
band. AS they believed her dead and
could not find her body they had to
give up the search.
But Edithe Darlington was alive but
very seriously injured. She was so
badly hurt that the doctor did not think
she would live. DR.. Manly took her to

Mother Douglas was taken sick on
Christmas eve. Polly, the oldest in the
family, had to take care of her mother
and the children.
There was not crust of bread or a
cent Of money in the house. The
younger children were all crying for
something to eat.
Polly had to put the children to bed
hungry. She sat down by the fireplace
after the younger children had retired.
She was thinking about her father when
all of a sudden she heard knock at
the door. She could not think who
could be coming to their house so late.
She was frightened at first. When she
opened the door DR.. Meyers was stand
ing in front of her with large basket
under his arm.
"Oh, come in,' said Polly. "You
must excuse me for not answering the
door sooner"
"You are excusable," said the doc
tor. 81 have brought you Christmas
dinner, which l hope will keep you from
starving"
Tears were standing in Polly's eyes.
She said. elbow can l thank you for all
you do for us?''
"Your kind ways are all the thanks
l ask for replied the doctor.
Polly meant to repay him some day.
After the doctor had gone Polly took
the things out of the basket. On top
lay large roasted turkey. There were
so many good things. Polly was going
to have surprise party on her little
sisters. She then put the things away
in the empty pantry.
Polly sat up all night with her
mother. The night seemed SO long. AT
last the sun was shining up over the
mountains. Snow had been falling all
night. After their scanty breakfast was
over the doctor came again. MIS-.
Douglas was reported to be some better
When the doctor went away Polly e
mother told of the vision she received
in the night. 1t was vision which told
her that their father would return
again.
This made Polly feel SO happy that
she did up the work in merry mood
Dinner was ready at twelve O'Clock.
The children were all comfortably
seated around the table when there was
rap at the door. Polly jumped up aud
ran to the door, thinking it was the
doctor. Their Christmas was once again
made happy, for Mr.. Douglas had re-
turned.

bells in the distance and coming
nearer, till at last they stopped and in
a few moments Edith was standing in
the door. Nothing can describe the joy
of that meeting. There was much
laughing and crying. It was the merri-
est Christma1 that Darlington Manor
ever had known. Some of the neigh
bors dropped in and Edithe had to tell
them the whole story.
The next Christmas Edithe became

so happy. But like the noble children
they were they resolved to pretend they
didn't care for any presents this
Christmas anyway.
After she told them story, popped
them some corn and kissed them good
night they climbed into bed, drew the
covers over their heads and cried them
selves TO sleep.
AS the heavy hearted mother sat
alone she was startled by loud knock
at the door. Opening the door she was
lstill further frightened by seeing mes
senger boy standing in the snow out
side. With trembling fingers she tore
open the envelope he handed her and
read:
! cam snowbound. Will arrive tomor-
row. SANTA CLAUS
| Mrs Arnold stood for several mo-
ments gazing at the paper, unable to
move, but at last the thought came to
her that some friend must be coming
to spend Christmas with them and had
thought of that way of informing them
Of the visit
| When she retired that night she was
happier than she had been for some
| time. When the children awoke in the
morning they were surprised to see
their mother SO happy, but decided she
was just trying to appear happy for
their sakes.
Soon after Winston had started the
fire he noticed the telegram lying on
the table. After reading it he excitedly
had found.
Soon very happy little family sat
down to breakfast, the children talking
excitedly about Santa coming to see
them, and wondering if he would leave
the many gifts, and if so, what All at
once loud knocking on the little par
lor door silenced the children. When
the mother opened the door, they
stepped timidly to her side, but to their
surprise man, his arms and pockets
full of bundles. stood there.
Only for a second did they gaze into
his face, then with the glad cry of
Papa they, and the little mother,
also, were in the mans embrace and
the bundles lay scattered on the floor
Later on, as Mr.. Arnold sat with
child on each knee and his wife by his
side, he told them the story of his long
ILLNESS and slow return to health, caused
by the injury he received in battle
How he was tenderly cared for by
kind old couple, and how, in gratitude
to them, he spent many weeks in vain
attempt to find their only son. and
finally being compelled to give up the
| search he bade the kind old people
good bye and turned his course home
ward.
Mr.. Arnold had written, but never
received any answer to- his letters He
found out afterward that a dishonest
mail carrier by the name of Arnold had
kept the letters, thinking they might
contain money.
That evening, as they sat around the
cheerful fire, they all united in giving
thanks for the happiest Christmas they
had ever known.

Snow Path

According to the Bridgeport
Chronicle all the bodies OF the men
killed at Lundy and Jordan have been
recovered from under the SNOW and
debris that accumulated with the
snow slides that wiped out the two
places.
In nearly every instance the warm
snow had rendered the bodies unit
for shipment and all but one were
buried at Mono Lake
The report that Jasper Parrott had
been killed proved to be an error.
The old man is well and was not
damaged by the moving SNOW. An
other man named Christensen. who
was stopping at the May Lundy mine
was untouched and did not know of
the destruction of Jordan.

There is plenty OF room TO build a

north. Since the Legislature passed
the bill for the relief of Mrs. Ballard,
who has been crippled for life, there
has been small piece Of paper pin

danger.
At times this small piece of paper
hangs upside down and is no warning

Would Kill
School Ring

The passage OF the Text Book Bill
which provides for the printing oi
the primary grade -oi text books by
the State Printing Office for Tree dis
tribution was strongly opposed by
the text book ring who had their
agents here in Carson trying their
best to stem the tide which favored
the bill.
The Act only provides for the pri-
mary grade OF books and they are to
be distributed free. This means a
great saving for the taxpayers
throughout the state. If the print
ing OF the primary grade is success
ful it means the printing OF the 9th
er grades and this is why the text
book ring. one of the most powerful
in the country. is ptrsistently fight
ing it, Ii is also rumored that GER
taain people who are fighting the
proposition get liberal commission
for every text book sold in the state.
This may not be true and is hard to
prove. but If school books are printed
in Nevada and distributed free there
will be an end OF that kind OF talk.
