Down at the school there was going
to be a Christmas tree that year.
Never before had the children of the
"branch-water folks" heard of Christ
mas tree. The season of Christ's birth
had always been celebrated with moon
shine jug and revolver. 1t was dread
ed in advance and mourned over in
retrospect
Now in many childish hearts large
dreams were brewing. Eager antici-
pations awaited the marvels. The hon.
ored young fir tree which was to bear
fruitage of gifts and lights had been
singled out and marked to the ak. Anse
Havey and Juanita had explored the
woods together, bent on its selection.
Perhaps Juanita and Dawn were as
much excited as the children, but to
Dawn it meant more than to anyone
else. She was to accompany Juanita
to Lexington to buy gifts and decora-
tions and would have her first won
drous glimpse of the lights and crowds
of city.
Milt was there at college and would
be returning about the same time, so
the mountain girl secretly wrote him
of her coming. And even facing so
grave a crisis, Anse Havey thought of
that tree and hoped that Luke would
not come back before Christmas.
That night, while he was sitting
with Iuanita and the fire was flashing
on her cheeks, he said moodily: I'm
afraid yell have to start despisin' me
all over again"
She looked up in establishment
'Why?" she asked.

Loyal in their stubborn adherence to
feud obedience, the judge and grand
jury secretly returned two indictments
bearing the names of Luke Thixton as
principal and Milton McBriar. ST., as
accessory to the crime of murder
against the peace and dignity of the
commonwealth Of Kentucky, and con-

One day Juanita Holland and Dawn
set out for Lexington to do their
Christmas shopping.
Anse Havey rode with them across
to Peril and waved his hat in farewell
as they stood in the vestibule of the
rickety passenger coach. 1t was a very

but to Dawn it seemed fairy chariot.
As they entered the lobby of the
Phoenix hotel, in Lexington, a tall
youth rose from chair and came for
ward. If the boy was cruder and dark
er and less trim in appearance than
his BLUEGRASS brethren, he carried his
head as high and walked as independ-
emily. He came forward with his hat
in his hand and said: I'm mighty glad
ter see We, Dawn"
The girl looked about the place, and
breathed rather than asked: Isn't the
world wonderful, Milt?"
Two days followed through which
Dawn passed in transports of delight
There were the undreamed sights Of
shop-windows decked for the holiday
season. and the crowds on the streets.
and the gayety and merTiment Of
Christmas everywhere. She had never
heard so much laughter before, and
she found it infectious, and laughed,
too.
At last she found herself again in a
faded plush car beside Juanita, with
Young Milt sitting opposite. Old Milt
was on that train, too, but he paused
/ only to nod before disappearing into

the hope Of MiIt McBriar that when

do just this.
While the Christmas shoppers
laughed in the day coach. Luke Thix-

empty smoker
He was to pass as swiftly and un-
obtrusively as possible through Peril
and go direct across the ridge.

without conversation or anything to

Writing in mid week of the municipal
cleanup and paint-up campaign, we are
of the opinion that the parade on Mon
day last was we'll worth while, even if
nothing more was accomplished or at
tempted. To Undue the young with the
ideas which prompted this movement is
to ensure the continuance Of the good
work now begun and increasing pride in
the city and care for it's cleanliness and
adornment The appearance of the
Bows Band was another notable and
commendable feature, and the young
musicians should have all possible aid
and encouragement, so that as they ad-
vance in years they may reinforce the
grown.up bard. A city cannot afford
to be without band, and the open air
concerts CT the Belfast Band are one
of the chief attractions of the summer
season.

in sending the nomination of Brandeis
to the Senate, and it was for that body
to confirm or reject the nomination &C.
oording to its judgment as to fitness.
The mere fact that protracted investi-
cation was necessary in this case ought
to be sufficient to show that the appoint

garded as an attempt to prostitute the
Supreme Court for political end. If
Brandeis were fit man for the place he

pacifists that belong to the class whom
the Bible condemns for repeating the
empty words, Peace, peace, when there

a companion said to the clergyman he
had asked to officiate at the Fanshaw
obsequies: cit was him that put down the

and everybody said he was the only man
that could have done it. He waltzed in
with spanner in one hand and trumpet
in the other, and sent fourteen men home
on shutter in less than three minutes.
He had that riot all broke up and pre-
vented nice before anybody ever got a
chance to strike blow. He was always
for peace and he would have peace-he
