La Barre and niece, Mrs. Tom Carter, were in Esta cada, Saturday, from Log La Barre The Benefit for the Band Indeed going to be a dreary time for him and his fam ily. Ills h a n d s were c l e n c h e d tightly as he came out Into the glare of winter sunshine, and his face showed u dull red—the hue which creeps over a man's face when insult or humiliation has come to him. For twenty years of service to old Clarkson, twenty years wherein he had given the best that was In him to a man who was reputed to be the most ill-tempered man In all Wash burn—he had Just been told that from now on his services would be dis pensed with, and all because of a small mistake that had been made, which Clarkson In the blind rage which had taken hold of him, had laid on the shoulders of Manners. It was hnrd, he told himself as he walked along, that a man who had given the best of his life In sendee could be cast away like an old glove. It must be that he was not as com petent as other men, he told him self. For the hurt of dismissal had sunk Its Iron deeper Into Walter Man ner's soul than It would have done In the case of another man, for always he had been possessed of the feeling that he was not quite as capable as other men. Something within him al ways tried to belittle him to himself, and although he had often fought with this feeling and had tried to assure himself that he did ns good or wen better work than some, In spite if himself It came every now and hen to torture him. Now, In the face if his recent dismissal, It came with idded force, and he told himself over ind over again that he was a fullure or else old Clarkson would not have let him out. He never stopped to think that perhaps It was the long association with a man of Clarkson’s type that had made him so diffident nbont his own worth. He drended the thought of going home nnd telling his family the bad news. He reproached himself that he had not broken away from old Clark son ten years before when he had an ffer from young Peters, who had Just ien come to Washburn, and who had nee made such a success. But then, ! always, the fear of himself kept im from accepting and he had stayed on and borne the 111-tomper of old man Clarkson since. His forty-five years hung heavily upon him ns he His Cup Was Full to Over flowing With Yuletide Joy nlng without his family suspecting thnt there was anything amiss. He Joined In the general gayety and helped with the decorations nnd various other little Jobs, but all the while the heart within him was sick with misery. But he knew that the burden was his to bear alone, and the thought that be was saving his family from the truth for a few days gave him a little feel ing of comfort. At ten o’clock, after the smallest of the children hnd been put to bed nnd the Christmas tree hnd received all Its trimmings, the door bell rang with a loud peal. Walter Manners opened It, thinking It was a neighbor or pos sibly a Christmas gift of some kind, hut Instead the tall figure of Peters stood In the doorway. In n few minutes ho told what he wanted—seeing Manners standing out side his store that afternoon nnd sus pecting from his attitude thnt some iMnir was wrong, he hnd made In quirles nnd found he had left Clark son's. Whereupon he had come to ask him If he would consider a posi tion with him, nnd when he named the salary Walter Manners gasped, as H was nearly twice the figure he had been getting. And when, because of his high sense of duty that was his, he told Peters that Clarkson had let him out, Peters only laughed aloud and said: “As if that would make any difference. The wonder to all in Washburn has been how you could have stood him so long.’’ After thnt It did not take Walter Manners long to give consent to the offer, nnd his cup of Joy seemed full as lie bid good-night nnd good wishes to Peters at the door. But It was full to overflowing a few minutes later when old Clarkson came puffing to the door and told him he could have his old job back again, with a small Increase in salary. For although he never wanted to see Clark son's store again, yet the feeling that he was wanted hack In the old place, added to the offer which he had Just accepted, gnve him the confidence In himself which he had always been lacking, and that Christmas Walter Manners really came Into his own, he had gotten the gift which he need ed most of all.

After the supper an entertain ment was given, the program consisting of selections by the band, a couple of readings by Mesdames R. H. Carter and W. F. Cary, and a dialogue by two Garfield boys. All of which were very well received. The net proceeds amounted to over $50, which, with the amount al ready in the treasury, will ena- able the band to purchase the bass horn which it needs.

Walter Manners had always been a unn who set a great stress upon duty, ind ns he went along now the thought came to him that a real duty to his family lay before him. For he fell • ’ o would be inflicting a great wrong upon them were he to go to them now with the story of his failure and to spoil their Christmas. What of his own feelings—surely he could be man enough to hide them for a few days for the sake of those he loved! After Christmas there would be time enough to tell them the dread news— to let them know what a miserable failure he was. He decided then that he would not go home until his usual homecoming hour, lest It might create suspicion, so to kill time he wandered aimlessly around town. He stopped to gaze In Peters’ window as he passed. He admitted to himself that there was a vast difference between the appear ance of this store and Clarkson's. Here everything was up-to-date nnd attractive; the window arrangement such as might make anyone pause to look. Once he had broached this »object to old Clarkson, but hnd been met by guch an outburst of wrath that he had never dared to open the sub ject agnln. So engrossed wag he with h’s thoughts that he never notleed that Clyde Peters was standing lnalde the window and gazing straight at him. He flushed a dull red agnln as the thought came to him that surely Peters would suapect something to see him wandering aimlessly around at what was anally the bu.lest time of the day at Clark** «, But he nodded as pleasantly as he could to Ieters a n d w alked on. he |ot through the eye- JOIN THE CROWD A T Where your Dollar has more Cents H.
