BY ORDER OF
THE BOARD
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1914. by the McCluro
Newspaper Syndicate.
For seven years old John FosdicK
had been paying teller of the First Na
tional bank In a western town. He
had secured the place through having
the friendship of the president. But
there had been n "rlnsf' against him
In the bank. Without the president
behind him, even after he had held the
place for three or four years, he would
have been fired by those In authority.
The seventh year was drawing to a
close when old John was caught up.
A stranger presented a check which
he hesitated to pay and about which
he consulted the cashier. Later on the
cashier stated that be had ordered it
to be held pending examination. Old
John said that he bad been ordered to
pay It at once. The check was paid,
and, being spurious, the bank was
out of pocket.
The president being in Europe, tlie
board took tlie case under advisement,
and "by order" the old uian was tired
out Into the world to begin life nucw.
There were resolutions, of course, and
one of them was to the effect that the
bank presented him with the sum of
$100 for long and faithful services. lie
p.ut on his hat without protest, and he
left the bank without taking the
money. At bis humble home an old.
anxious wife mel him an I. wlfellke,
gave hini sympathy and encourage
ment first of all
"Never mind. John: never mind."
she kept saying "We have a few dol
lars ahead, and you are "lily tIfty-Bve
years old. aud something good is sure
to turn up. Yoli have fought too long
to give up now "
But the weeks went by and tiothing
turned up. The business world has
very little use for an old man who has
no capital. John Fosdlek's savings
were gradually used up, the gener
osity of Ids few friends exhausted, and
there came a day when the i)Ucstion of
food and fuel became a serious one.
He was not one to sponge or turn
beggar If the world would not let
him earn his food, al least he would
go out of it and hope that his going
would open the hearts of men toward
his widow After (Hindering for an
hour he started out with I lie firm In
tention of drowning himself in the riv
er. It was a blustering November day.
and as he passed the bank with bowed
head, iient shoulders aud well worn
garments even those who had depriv
ed him of his plai-e felt a touch of
sympathy, fie was making for the
suburbs aud a highway bridge aud
wondering how long It would take to
drown and what men would say ot
him when dead when lie caught si^ht
of men and horses skulking behind an
abandoued factory it was singular,
bound on such a mission as lie was,
that he should have seen or wondered
and speculated on why those men and
horses were there, but he had scarcely
passed the old factory when he sud
denly turned about and ran for the
business part of the town with speed
that astonished himself
In tne vnniis 01 me i-ir*i .>miun.i.
bank was a sum close upon $3,000,000
dp|K>sited there temporaril.v by 11 rail
road company. Outside the vault was
a big safe containing $25,000 more. It
was a quiet afternoon, with few people
moving about Over 100 of the men
llviug In town had gone over to the
new town of I'rairie Flower t<> an auc
tion of real estate There hadn't been
a better opportunity for years to make
a dash at the bank. It was a civilized
young city, but within striking distance
of No XIau's Land and a hundred des
perate outlaws.
Of a sudden old John Fosdick, bare
headed and his gray hair flying, burst
Into the hank, fie was speechless
witb his runuing. but he did not try
to use his voice. lie dastied open the
gate and seized the heavy doors of the
safe and closed them with a bang. Sev
eral employees tried to seize him, but
he shook them off. and Just as tiring
and yelling were beard ou the street
he slammed the doors of the vault
Fie had only turned from it when four
border ruffians rushed into the bank,
each with a pistol iu hand, while three
others remained outside and fired at
every pedestrian in sight.
"Hands up and money out!'' shouted
one of three who entered the bank,
and In an instant every official and
employee was covered.
"Gentlemen, the bank Is closed for
today," said John Fosdick.
"Open the safe and vaults or I'll
blow your brains out!"
"I have a key to neither."
"You liar! Take that!"
The old man sank witb n bullet In
his brain, and the white faced cashier
would have opened safe and vault
witb his own bands but for the arrival
of assistance. A few citizens had
gathered and killed one of the watch
ers and wounded another. This caus
ed a stampede on the part of the des
peradoes. Tbey did not even grab the
money packages in sight, but hastened
to get away as fast as possible. John
Fosdick did not drown himself, lut he
lay dead. He had been discharged on
account of old age aud carelessness,
hut his speed aud acumen had saved
the First National bank from being
cleaned out. He wondered what men
would say of him after death. They
said he was a hero. He had hoped
men would have pity on his aged wid
ow. Wbeu he had been laid away the
bank voted her a life |>enslou. the citi
zens and the railroad company made
op a public purse, and she wanted for
nothing the rest of her life. '

GREEKS AND SLAVONIANS
THREE DAYS' CELEBRATION
The Greeks and Slavonians of
Skagway this morning started on
a three days' celebration of Christ
mas which, with them occurs on
Januarv 7th of the Gregorian cal
endar, and New Year, Jan. 8th of
the Gregorian calendar. As there
aro quit© a number of people of
these races here there will no doubt
bo a hilarious time during the con
tinuance of the festivities.
VALUE OF LAUGHTER.
Laughter is a foe to pain and
disease and a sure cure for melan
cholia and worry. Laughter is
contagious. Be cheerful and you
make everybody around you happy
and healthful. Use laughter as a
table sauce. It stimulates the di
gestive processes. It keeps the
heart and face young and enchances
physical beauty. It gives warmth
and glow to the whole system.
Perfect health, winch may be in
jured by bad news, by grief or by
anxiety, is often restored by a hearty
laugh.
The Unhonored Prophet.
A visitor to Carlyle's birthplace back
in the seventies said to a native:
"Smart man, that Thomas Carlyle."
The native grunted.
"Him smart? Why, I went to skule
wi' him."

INTERIOR QUARTZ MINERS
ARE PEELING OPTIMISTIC
Fairbanks Times: That the
quartz prospectors aiul miners of
the Fairbanks creek district are
In a very optimistic frame of mind
and that properties will be de
veloped with rapidity during the
Dresent winter, is the opinion of
August Hess, the hard rock man,
who is in town for a few days. He
states that; the building of a cus
tom stamp mill by Charles Heilig
has pleased the quartz men of the
Fairbanks creek district mcrcs than
anything that has been dene in
many months.
The plant, which is a Huntington
mill, was formerly located on the
Tolovana quartz property, and has
a capacity o£ handling about ten
tons of ore a day. It will be ready
for work during the early part ot'
1915, and the prospectors of that
district will have approximately
100 tons of ore ready to mill by
that time.
Crites & Feldman, who recently
installed a new plant, are report
ed to be doing well, and are well
pleased with the showing n.ade by
their mill. They are said to
have enough work blocked out to
keep them busy for many months,
and everything looks encouraging.
Mr, Hess thinks that there will
be much more development on the
quartz properties in the vicinity of
Fairbanks creek after Hei.'ig's mill
is in working order, as the cost of
freighting and milling will be re
duced from about $14 a ton to less
than $6 per ton.
SEATTLE HOLLY TWIGS
THAT CAME TOO LATE
Mr. Gillis, northern traveling man
for the smokers' supply department
of the National Grocery Co. of
Seattle shipped to Tony Dortero of
this place a quantity of holly sprigs
for Christmas decorating but for
some reason they did not reach
here ur.til after the holiday was
past, and now Tony is presenting
them to his friends, which accounts
for the beautiful specimen that
hangs above the reportorial
desk in the front office of the Daily
Alaskan.
