down The colonel leaned farther
back in the Nnveloping leather and
volley OF expanding rings poured
from beneath the carefully trimmed
white mustache.
That he said. with wave OF his
hand toward the throngs, set me to
thinking of how in my country school
days we big, bad boys sometimes
locked the teacher out to make him
give us Christmas treat. At the
precise moment YOU soaked Inc on the
shoulder | was thinking of the time
we locked out our teacher. We mott.
he'd him a week beforehand that we
expected him to give us a nice, sub
stantial treat when school let out,
as we said, on Christmas eve. He had
been q good-naured fellow and had
succeeded in keeping on good terms
with us Scamps in spite of us. so as
we wanted, for the reason, to let him
OFF as easily as possible we specified
only box of oranges and box of
candy.
III think about it. he said, laugh
ing, and we supposed it was as good
as agreed to.
so when on the morning OF Christ
mas Eve day Mr. Teacher arrived
without anything that possibly could
contain treat, we were hurt-doubly
hurt to think that supposed friend
would treat us So We silently waited
till the noon hour, and when lunch
h3H hnpU hn
of us were detailed to get him away
( from the school house on some pre-
text or other They succeeded, but
he didn't stay long, as it was a cold
day and there was snow. When he
found the door locked he ratified the
knob and called:
Open the door, please! 1t is l, Mr..
CT
Sorry one of the boys replied
through the keyhole, but you'll have
to give us a Christmas treat before
we let you in
Come, boys, come, he said stern
ly. 1t is too cold for joking Let
me in at once!
We're not Joking; we yelled back
! We want a treat. Go to the store
and &c. big box of oranges and a
big box of candy and have them here
for us this afternoon, and well open
the door. Or, if you'll promise on
your word of honor. Wen let you in
For answer he pounded on the
door and thundered:
Boys, l order you to open this
door! viii you obey me?'
-Freat!' was our ultimatum.
Followed several minutes of silence
and suspense, then he called to us:
Well boys, l suppose the be
sieger instead of the besieged will
have to surrender. You may open the
door | will treat
The door was opened slowly, eau
tiously, for we were doubtful, almost
distrustful, but he was milling.
