MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1928, eflers from CHIEE SEATTLE To Theodore Roberts Dear Screen Actor: With many hundred other motion picture pas trons I was grioved to learn of your fllness, Recent reports of an ims proved condition are optimistio and I hope that it will not be long be« fore your face will bo smiling out of pew cinema stories, your famous cigar between your teeth and your natural “acting” winning you more favor with tho entertainment-craving public, CHIEF SEATTLE, To F. M. Harshberger, U. S. District Court Clerk Dear Sir: ‘The acquaintance of such mon as yourself, who carry that quiet, pleasing courtesy, even in the rush of business, ts gratifying. It is a rare thing, in the hurry and bustle of modern life, to see atrict efficiency combined with a disposition that radiates such a spirit of good will toward all associates as does your own. CHIEF SEATTLE. To the Seattle Elks Dear “Bilis”; Woe hope you have no trouble {n fulfilling your cam. paign to placo a bundle of Christmas cheer tn the home of every Se- attleite who lacks the means to provide the same for himself or fam- fly, Keep up the good work. We're with you. CHIEF SEATTLE. {To Burglars, Footpads and Others of the Criminal Fraternity Sirs: It gives us great pleasure to remind you that, with the cam. gn to make it next to impossible for you to obtain sido firearms, the ture in the various lines of your profession looks tougher day by May the time come when your prospects will be so uninviting CHIEF SEATTLE, \To University of Washington Students Dear Boys and Girls: Many of you folks will be going home this (Continued From Saturday) ‘They pushed off the craft from tho red Hull of the Arabella, bent to their sweeps, then, hoisting sail, headed back to Port Royal, Intent upon reaching it before darkness should come down upon them, And Bishop, th t bulk of him huddled in the stern she vat silent, his black brows knitted, his coars@ lips pursed, malevolence and vindictiveness so dverwhelming now his recont panic that ho forgot his near escape of the yardarm and the running noose, On the mole at Port Royal, under the low, embattled wall of the fort, Major Mallard and Lord Julian wait. ed to revelve him, and it was with tn. finite relief that they assisted him from the sloop, Major Mallard was disposed to be Apologetic, “Glad to see you safe, air,” sald he, “T'd havé sunk Blood’s ship in spite of your excellency'’s being aboard but for your own orders by Lord Julian, and his lordship's assurance that ho had Blood's word for it that no harm should come to you #0 that no harm came to him. T'll confess I thought it rash of his lordship to accept the word of a damned pirate . . ." -, aug by Rafael Sabatini! SECS EA SERVICE Ne) excused himself soon after, and went in quest of the lady, He had yet to deliver the message from Captain Blood, and this, he thought, would be his opportunity, But Miss Bishop had retired for the night, and Lord Jullan must curb his impationce—it amounted by now to nothing less— until the morrow, Very: early, next morning, before the heat of the day came to render the open intolerable to his lordship, he espied her from his window mov. ing amid the azaleas in the garden, It was a fitting setting for one who was still as much a delightful novelty to him in womanhood as was the azalea among flowers, He hurried forth to Join her, and when, aroused from her pensiveneas, sifo had given him a good-morrow, smiling and frank, he explained himself by the announce. ment that he bore her & message from Captain Blood, He observed her little start and the slight quiver of her lips, and observ- ed thereafter not only hen pallor and the shadowy rings about her eyes, but also that unusually wistful air which Jast night had escaped his no- toe. ‘They moved out of.the open to one week for the Christmas holidays, ‘Those of you who are sophomores “IT have found it as good as an- until that moment had he seen her, In allence they paced on @ little way into the green shade, Then sho paused and faoed him, “You suid something of @ message, she reminded him, th nome of hor impatience, Ho fingered the ringlets of his pert. wig, @ little embarrassed how to do liver himself, considering how ho should begin, “'Hlo desired mo," ho wala at Inst, “to give you a message that should prove to you that there is etill some. thing left in him ef the unfortunate gontioman that,,,. that,,, for which once you knew him," "That is not now necessary,” sald sho gravely, He misunderstood her, of course, knowing nothing of t! enlighten. ment that yesterday had come to her, "T think... nay, I know that you do him an injustice," said he, Hor hazel eyon continued to regard him, “If you will deliver the mes- gage, it may enable me to judge.” To him, this was confusing, He did not immediately answer, Hoe found that he had not sufficlently considered tho terms he should em- ploy, and the matter, after all, was of an exceeding delicacy, demanding delicate handling. It was not so much that he was concerned to deliver a message as to renderslt a vehicle by which to plead his own cause. Lord Julian, well versed in the lore of womankind and usually at his ease with ladies of the beau-monde, found himaelt oddly constrained before this frank and unsophisticated niece of a colonial planter. They moved on fn silence and as if by common consent towards the bril- and freshmen are just bursting to show the home folks what you have learned. That's fine, but be careful not to give them the wrong tm. pression of your Alma Mater and of college men and women jn gen- eral. Don't be cynical, don’t be bombastic, don't be “stuck up" and don’t try to show off your new-found knowle: at the expense of others. , don't try to make those at home believe that you're you'll make fools out of yourselves if you do, A merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all, CHIE SEATTLE. ‘To Early Morning Motorists Fellow Men: There are too many of you driving down Westlake aye. these gray, dark mornings without headlights burning. About the most reckless thing I can imagine, even with-atreets comparatively empty, Is for an auto driver to drive thru any street without lights for his own and others’ guidance. It's bad economy to save your batteries and then creep up out of the haze and fog and perhapa crash {nto a pedestrian, a street car or another automobile, as some of you have done.

It's not too much to ask you to carry your candy bar wrappers, peanut bags and newspapers & few feet and drop them into these cana, rather than to scatter them along the pavement, > CHIEF SEATTLE. To “Four Scrawny Kids” Dear Babies: On’ your lives depends the fate of thousands and thousands of other babies during tne experiments being carried on in an Eastern hospital with insulin as a preventative of under-nour- shment and dwarfing of the body. The medical scientists are seeking to serve the coming generations of such poor little bodies as yours and the willingness of your parents to allow you to be the means of its determination is commendable. CHIEF SEATTLE. “To a Certain Detective Sir: I wish I knew your name, but I dont. I would ilke to label you for the ignoramus that you are. Last Wednesday afternoon you stopped a 17-year-old girl at Fourth and Pike, grabbed her roughly by the arm and said, “Where are those stockings?” The poor kid, half frightened to death, started to cry. You saw that she wasn’t any shoplifter, as you imagined, and muttered "Guess I made a mistake.” Then you disappeared quickly in the crowd before anyone could ob- tain your name. If morons of your type can terrorize innocent little girls on the street in that fashion, we would be far better off without your protection. CHIEF SEATTLE. ‘To E. Madison Street Car Motorman No. 2309 Dear Fellow: It Is indeed refreshing to see the type of service you rendered to a young woman on your car the other day, Not only did you pleasantly and courteously answer her inquiry when she boarded your car as to transferring to another line, but when she reached the transfer point you took the trouble to point out to her which corner to wait on and the car number she should take. It is a pleasure to know there are some men like you in this public service. Merry Christmas. CHIEF SEATTLE. to Chief’s Own City Dear Citizens: Chief's heart fills with heap big glow of pride every time he walks downtown streets. Most beautiful and nover tire of looking. Little wood sprites ail time dancing and swinging In big Christmas wreaths up and down the avenues. White folks only seo cedar ropes, big wreaths swaying in wind—Big Chief see everything— he know. CHIEF SEATTLE To the People of Foster and Neighboring Communities Dear Folks: Your efforts to establish a lasting community church, educational and recreational center are inspiring much favor- able comment. I very much like to see such a spirit of co-operation and good will CHIEF SEATTLE. To Prof. Max Garrett, University of Washington Esteemed Sir: Students in your classes in “Literary Backgrounds” tell me that you succeed in making a usually dul! and tiresome course highly instructive and interesting. I heard you lecture this last week on “Shakespeare's Sonnets” and the “Baconian Theory.” It was fine, Congratulations, professor, Too many college lecturers seem to think they are talking to a room full of dictaphones. You give your students credit for being human. I'm for you. CHIEF SEATTLE. To the Well-Known Hard Cider Ye Rural N ir; What a relief to the rural law-abiders it is to know that you will be with us for a while, now that a loophole in the prohibition law has been found whereby it {s not a crime to al- low apple juice to harden in {ts own effective way. These gosh- darned lawyers do rib up a brignt idea once in a while, b’gosh! CHIEF SEATTLE. To the Seattle Baseball Club Dear Pastimers: Well, now that the Indians have had thetr usual winter shakeup, and trades, sales and buys, etc., may we not expect usual prediction that Washington's representative in the Pacific oust league is to have a flag winner next se: CHIEF SEATTLE. To Sheriff Matt Starwich Dear Matt: Again I have to congratulate you on the efficient work of your department. Never a week goes by that you and your men don’t capture a band of bank robbers or selze = big shipment of booze, The capture of the trio of alleged bank robbers at Hunt's Point ‘Thursday was but another instance of your careful, systematic police work. CHIEF SEATTLE. To Jack McDonnell A Dear Jack: After being widely press-agented as a formidable con- tender for the heavyweight championship, your Seattle debut qnded in dismal failure last week, when the referee ordered the fight stopped because ho belleved you were not fighting ferociously enough. Of e, he erred. A fighter—unless he is stalling or crooked—has a to follow his own campaign in the ring. But outside of that, don't be discouraged, Jack Dempsey looked awful in his first ring starts, CHIEF SEATTLE. LETTERS TO CHIEF SEATTLE “Oh, as your lordship says." Major Mallard’s manner waa tinged with irony. “To be sure, here is the colonel safe and sound. And out yon- der is Captain Blood, also safe and sound, to begin his piratical ravages all over again.” “I do not propose to discuss the reasona with you, Major Mallard. “And, anyway, {t's not for long, growled the colonel, finding speech at “No, by..." He emphasized |the assurance by on unprintable joath. “If I spend the last shilling of my fortune and the last ship of the | tant, in a hempen necktie before I rest. And I'll not be long about it.” He |had empurpled In his angry vehem- jence, and the yeins of his forehead stood out like whipcord. Then he checked. “You di@ well to follow Lord Julian's Injunctions,” he commended the major. With that he turned from him, and took his lordship by the arm. “Come, my lord. Wo must take order about this, you and I." They went off together, skirting the redoubt, and eo thru courtyard and garden to the house where Ara- bella waited anxiously. The sight Jot her uncle brought her infinite re- | Hef, not only on his own account, but on account also of Captain Blood. “You took a great risk, sir," she gravely told Lord Julian after the or dinary greetings had been exchanged. But Lord Jullan answered her as he had answered Major Mallard “There was no risk, ma’am.” She looked at him {n some astonia! wore a more melancholy, pensive air jthan usual. He answered the en- quiry in her glance: “So that Blood’s ship was allowed to pass the fort, no harm could come to Colonel Bishop, Blood pledged mo his word for that.’” | lips, which hitherto had been wistful, and a@ little color tinged her cheeka. She would have purgued the subject, but the deputy governor's mood did not permit !t. He sneered and snort ed at the notion of Blood's word be- ing good for anything, forgetting that he owed to it his own preserva- |tion at that momen At supper, and for long thereafter, he talked of nothing but Blood—of how he would lay him by the heels, and what hideous things he would perform upon his body. And as he drank heavily the while, his speech became increasingly gross and his threats increasingly horrible; until in the end Arabella withdrew, white faced and almost on the verge of tears. It wan not often that Bishop revealed himself to his niece.
