"Will those boats catch us, cap

added, turning to a surly-looking mate

Are you sure, captain?'
"Sartin," said the captain.
Ellen did a strange thing. She ran
across the deck to the gangway, leaned
far over it, lifted her hat and waved it
three or four times at the boats vainly
pursuing. Then not waiting for a re-
turn of her salute, she rejoined the
captain.

both hungry enough to have eaten

When their appetite was stayed, the
captain showed them to a cabin with

so tired that recriminations which

Dressed as they were, each crawled
into her respective berth and soon was

Yes, yes,' answered Ellen, grasping
at the suggestion presented by the
captains misconception of the situa-

And indeed they were a runaway
couple, though not exactly of the kind
the captain meant.

He spoke to the helmsman and a
moment after the sails Slated in the
wind, the big ship swung up toward
the breeze and ranged ahead, her way
clearly checked
Ellen acted promptly. Before the
big ship swung up into the wind she
had run her little boat alongside. She
dropped sail, ran forward and took
a turn with a painter across the fore
chains She let the boat drift aft until
it came abreast the battens on the
side, leading up the gangway. Up this
she drove Debbie, reluctant, protest
ing, frightened out of her wits. In
deed it was a hard climb for a girl
unused to such performances and en-
numbered by her skirts. Showed by
Ellen, however, the girl clambered up
until hands reached through the gang

lowed quickly after her.

Public School Closes

Last Friday, June 5, She graduation exercises of the eighth grade took place at the Douglas Public School. There were seven graduates: Ilmi Aalto, Olgat Anderson, Margaret James, Enid Richards, Francis Cog gins, Claude PengIase, and Edwin Fox.
 School closed Monday, June 8th, for the summer vacation. The past year has been one to look back upon with pleasure. The standard which teach CTS and pupils set for themselves may not have been reached in every ltne, but they have worked faithfully to- gesher. Attendance has been an i'm provement over past years. Parents have shown more than usual interest, and given words of encouragement; and the students have never shown so loyal a school spirit. The total en. rollment for the year was l4l. Per cent. of attendance, % 59.
 Miss J. D. Mooney, teacher of the seventh and eighth grades, will leave on the steamer Jefferson for Portland, Ore., where she will take position as nurse in one of the large hospitals.
 Miss D. Stromstadt, teacher of the third and fourth grades, will leave shortly for a summer trip down the Yukon river.
 Miss Mooney and Miss Pickle gave a party Saturday evening for the sev- enth, eighth and high school grades. The evening was spent in contests and games, after which light refreshments were served by the teachers. The children went home rejoicing.
 Aside from the regular work of those grades, the pupils in Miss SCevenson's room have shown remarkable skill in the working of colored mats, as have also the pupils in Miss Stromstadt's room in the making of mats and rattia baskets.
 The school will open again the first Monday in September, which will fall on the seventh.
