A RECONNOlTR
FOR SANTA

Ye Editor had occasion to spend
his Sunday in Gettysburg, where
he enjoyed the hospitality of the
Hayes House, a new hotel opened
in recent years, by Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Hayes. The large CHEEKY
rooms with their light and warmth
make trip to the countyseat,
even in winter, a delight; and the
next essential thing, the "fced,"
is all that could be asked. We are
sure going back there again when
we 90 to town.
We also found the Methodist
church, with it's fine editice, still
keeping to the front. The new
pastor, Rev. johnson. is already
meeting with good success, and
comes with an automobile, which
was a gift to him, from his sister,
a resident of California.
One of the oldest institutions of
our county is the Potter County
Bank, at Gettysburg, founded
thirty years ago, and it is a pleas
ure to it's many friends to know
that it is still as strong and stont
as ever. Its strength is manifest
by the same company that found
ed it being still at it's head and its
active managers, with but one or
two changes in its officials in all
the thirty years.
We would recommend the firm
of c. G. Blakeslee of Gettysburg
to our readers when they want to
trade with a reliable .JeweIer, or
stand in need of clocks, watches,
glassware, Indian curios etc. MIR.
Blakeslee has been a continuous
advertiser in The Press for long
period-over ten years-which.
goes to show that he is trying to
please all parts of the county with
the very best of goods.
Messrs. Rowland Jones & Co.,
our biggest advertiser, is one of
the most popular emporiums in
Gettysburg. Almost everything
you can think of you will find on
the counters and shelves of this
store, from candies, dolls and no.
tions up to the big useful ones.
Another reliable feature is their
drugs and medicines, of which
they undoubtedly have the largest
and best assortment in the county.
One of the newer institutions in
Gettysburg, which has already
made its mark, is the First Ma
tional Bank. Since the present
management erected its splendid
brick building, it has set the pace
for other like institutions of the
county. Our readers will find the
First National Bank good place
at which to pass away a few mo-
ments of their time.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Heil-Fire.


But by this stage in his history Mr.
Law had arrived at state of mind
immune to surprise at the discovery
that he had once more failed to elude
the vigilance and pertinacity of the
woman who sought his life.
He viewed the schooner with no
more display of emotion than resided
in narrowing eyelids and Tightening
of the muscles about his mouth.
Much farther to go?" he inquired
presently, in colorless voice.
AT our present pace-say, two
hours"
And will that enable us to hold
our own"
Just about" Barcus allowed, squirt
ing critically at the chase; she's
some footer, that schooner; and this
is Just the wind she likes best"
How much lead have we got?"
"A mile or so-none too much"
Anything to be done to mend mat
tiers? 2"
"Nothing-but pray, If you remem.

In the end they made 1t by narrow
margin. The face of Judith Urine was
distinctly revealed by the chill gray
light of early dawn to those aboard
the power cruiser as she swept up

Aboard and away from the wharf
the burden OF Alan's solicitude seemed
to grow lighter with every squeal
of the greaseless oarlocks, with ev'
cry dip and splash Of the blades
which, welded by crew of villainous
countenance, brought them nearer the
handsome motorboat which Mr.. Breed
designated as his own. 1t was not
until Alan looked up suddenly to find
Mr.. Breed covering him with re
volver Of most vicious character that
he had the least apprehension of any
danger nearer than the offing, where
Judith's schooner might be lurking
waiting for its prey to come out and
be devoured.
'I'll take that money-belt of yours
young feller," Mr.. Breed announced
"and be quick about it--not forgetting
what's in your trousers pocket!'
In the passion of his indignation
Alan neglected entirely to play the
game by the rules. The indifference
he displayed toward the weapon was
positively unprofessional for he
knocked 1t aside as If 1t had beer
nothing more dangerous than a straw
And In the same fiutter Of an eyelasf
he launched himself like wildcat al
the throat of Mr.. Breed
Before that one knew what was hap
pening he had gone over the sterr
and had involuntarily disarmed him
self as we'll
The other two men made sad bust
ness of attempting to overpower Mr.
Barcus. In less than minute they
were both overheard.
And just for this Alan said before
getting out of earshot-"I'm going tc
treat my party to joy-ride in youl
pretty powerboat."
He concluded this speech abruptly
as Barcus brought them up under the
quarter of the power cruiser.
Within two minutes the motor was
spinning contentedly, the mooring hat
been slipped, and the motorboat was
heading out of the harbor.
Within FIVE minutes she had left Il
we'll astern and was shooting rapidly
westward, making nothing of the buf
fets of very tolerable sea kicked vi
by the freshening southwesterly wind

was born to die natural. death

eventually brought her to with the
aid of few drops of brandy.
Between them, they helped her up
the beach, past the point, and at length
to the door of the hotel, where-reani-
mated by the mere promise of food
Rose disengaged their arms and en-
tered without more assistance; while
Barcus was deferred from treading
her heels in his own famished eager
ness, by the hand of Alan falling heav-
lily upon his arm.
Watt" the latter admonished in
a half-whisper. Look there!"
Barcus followed the direction Of his
gesture-and was transfixed by the
sight of rocket spearing into the
night-draped sky from point invis-
ible beyond the headland of the light
house.
The two consulted one another with
startled and fearful eyes.
As with one voice they murmured
one word Judith" To this Alan
added gravely: "Or some spy Of
hers!"
Then rousing, Alan released his
friend, with smart shove urging him
across the threshold of the hotel
go on" he insisted, "join Rose and
get your supper. I'll be with you as
soon as can arrange for boat. Tell
her nothing more than that-that !
thought it unwise to wait until every
body was abed before looking round"
He turned to find his landlord APP
preaching from the direction of the
hotel barroom. And for the time. it
seemed that the wind of their luck
must have veered to a favoring quar-
ter; for the question was barely ut
tered before the landlord lifted will
ing voice and hailed fellow towns
man idling near by.
Hey, Jake-come here!"
introduced as Mr.. Breed, Jake
pleaded guilty to ownership of the
fastest, and stanchest powercruiser
lin the adjacent waters, which he was
.avariciously keen to charter
They observed haste religiousiy;
within ten minutes they stood upon a
float at the foot of flight Of wooden
steps down the side of the town wharf.
