MERRY CHRISTMAS
 FEELING PREVAILS
 ON DOUGLAS ISLAND

DOUGLAS. Dec. 2S, - Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to All" is the prevailing spirit on the lsl- and today where crisp. cold Christ mas day seems promised. Eleventh hour shoppers are making their last trips to the stores and thus ending busy Christmas season for both merchants and buyers. Delivery wagons and clerks have been busy since early morning dispensing the lots of dainties and substantials which will feature the tables of several hundred families both to- morrow and Christmas Day.
 Several private dinners have been planned for Sunday but as Monday is the real holiday of the season, most of the birds are being reserv- ed for December 25.
 All departments of the Treadwell mines, and business places on the Island will suspend operations for Christmas. Excepting the Fourth of July this is the only holiday which is generally observed at Treadwell.
 Several fine turkeys, with all the trimmings, will be served at. the Treadwell boarding house at noon Christmas. Steward L. S. Ferris promises to have a real Christmas tree inside the building and if he can anchor one. a lighted tree will be displayed from the top of the mess house roof tonight and all nights during the holidays.

threw himself viciously against 1t.
The lock held, but she must get away
at once. There was a window in the
freighthouse, and she ran into the
freightroom. Seagrue had snatched
up a stone. He reached the operators
window, only to see Helen, who had
sprung through the freighthouse win
dow, running up the track. He fol-
lowed her at top speed. Intent on es-
Gaping, she gave no thought to where
she was running; it was only to get
away from her hated enemy and save
what she had SO hardly regained. Hell
ter-skelter through a grove of scat
tered oaks that fringed the hills above
the sea, on and ON she ran, until
breath and strength were deserving
her, but at every turn her detested
pursuer was fast upon her heels. Be-
tween his lunging footballs she could
hear his painting threats, and the clear
ness of the night gave her little
chance to elude his savage pursuit.
She realized she was running cross
what had been her own fathers estate.
The ocean spread suddenly below her.
She had reached Signal bay and the
precipitous cliffs that frowned high
above it. Like a frightened fawn she
ran up the rocks and down, only to
hear Seagrue breathing maledictions
close behind, and with the distance
steadily lessening between her and
certain capture. Brought at last to
bay, she darted down the cliffs to find
a hiding place. Not a nook or Granny
offered a hope Of concealment, and a
nisstep where she trod meant certain
death. Painting and bewildered, she
heard Seagrue climbing down the
ledge on which she had found a mar
row fcothold. Her escape was cut
of, and Seagrue descended triumph
antly toward her. She warned him
back.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1916-03-31

Where could the survey be, now?
was the question recurring always to
Helen's mind. Toward the close of
the dinner, Seagrue, rising, unlocked
his desk for a flask of Chartreuse.
There, lying in the corne exactly
where she had seen it, Helen again be
held the survey, a blue print beside
it. Seagrue was pawky enough to
close and lock the desk after he had
taken the flask out. How, she asked
herself, was she to get that desk open
again?
Seagrue dismissed his serving man,
and this did not allay Helen'ss uneasi-
ness for herself. She did not want
to be left alone a minute with him
now; things were getting too compli-
Gated. But could she in some way
get into the desk?
Rising, she said she would clear the
table a little. Taking hold of the flask
he had just taken from the desk and
holding out her hand with a smile she
asked him for his keys. Seagrue was in
no position to refuse SO intimate a re-
quest. With an air of camaraderie he
handed them over and Helen pushed
back the cover of the desk. But as
she did 80 Seagrue threw his arms
around her. She struggled indignant
ly, but could not get away. For a mo-
ment there was a fierce struggle.
Then with a superhuman effort she
tore herself free, caught up the first
thing she could lay her hand OMIT
happened to be a bronze match tray
and struck Seagrue across the fore
head.
He went completely over, leaving
Helen horror-stricken at what she had
done. She listened. Outside she
heard no sound. Seizing the blue
print that lay under her hand, she
gained the door and ran out just as
Seagrue regained his feet. She had
resolved to flag the Limited. Hardly
touching the earth, she dashed to the
station, hurried to the key and tele-
graphed R~hinelander:
Have blue print of survey. VIII
be on Limited. HELEN"
It was not too soon. Through the
window she saw Seagrue rushing down
the platform. She slammed the Office
door shut, and locked 1t. Seagrue
