Another Social Peril.

Tho city postmaster, with the intention
OF making use of the special-delivery
stamp as general as possible, saws the
Washington Star. keeps the messenger
boys supplied with them, so that when
delivering letter, if it is desired to send
an answer, the boys can furnish the
stamp. One OF the residents of the city,
however. has reason to complain of this
feature of the new system. One morn
ing not long ago he left home, telling
his wife he would not be home again un-
til late that evening, as he expected to
be called out of the city. His wife, rec
ognizing the demands of business life,
babe him an affectionate adieu, and
tried not to think how many hours would
elapse before his return, and how long
they would seem. Busted with her
household work her mind was serene and
cheerful, and when the front-door bell
rang she tripped lightly down the stairs
and opened the door with smiling face.
Her smile was not lost upon the little
fellow who stood there with a letter
from the postofficc bearing a special
stamp. He smiled in return and the at
mosphere about the cheerful little wo-
man was so exhilarating that he forgot
that he was not making money enough
to pay for his shoe leather.
Il have letter for Mr." said the
boy, mentioning her husbands name.
HE is out of the city today" said the
lady sweetly. twill give it to him when
he returns"
"Well,'' said the boy, doubtfully, ''the
lady said | should give the letter to him
personally"
The boy was surprised to see the sweet
face change as the little woman with a
quick movement snatched the letter out
of his hand, and, slamming the door in
his face, left him standing on the front
steps considerably dazed by the sudden
transition.
When he returned to the postoffice he
found that the man for whom the letter
was intended had been there inquiring
for letter which he expected to find in
his box 1t was then remembered that
the boy had been sent out with letter
which he had delivered to the lady as he
had said. As she wished to send a re-
ply the messenger boy gave her a special
delivery stamp and as she did not know
the address of the citizen in question, but
only the number of his postotfice box,
she directed it there. The boy brought
the letter to the postoffice, but as the
stamp required an immediate delivery,
the address of the man was found in the
directory and the boy posted away to his
home with the result as above stated.
When the man was informed of the dis
position of the letter by the postoffice Of
fetal, he turned pale and was heard to
murmur something about not daring to
90 home now. Whether he ever did 90
home, and what occurred when he got
home, is not known

''Love laughs at locksmiths," and
Love never laughed more heartily at them
than in the case of the daughter of the
north of Scotland. The Earl had made
young man prisoner, and held him in
bondage in tower which stood isolated
by a space of about ten feet from the
main buildings of the castle. The young
lady regarded the prisoner, whom she
saw daily at the barred window of his
chamber, with the compassionate SYM
patty which, on Dryden's authority,
''melts from pity into love" An init
macy soon sprung up between the youth
full pair, messages were exchanged, and
in course of time there were frequent in
terviews- young lady obtaining ac-
cess to the tower through the help of the
old Highlander who kept the keys. One
evening before the castle-gates were
closed she contrived to glide round to the
tower. The old nurse, who had not been
taken into confidence, observed her and
went at once to betray the love-affair
which, had she only been consulted about
it, she would have been too happy TO
promote. The Countess of Gowrie at
once went in search of her daughter.
The young lady, who received timely
warning of her mothers approach.
would certainly have been caught had
she attempted to return by the usual
way. 1t was now evening also, and all
the back entrances were locked and
guarded. There was only one course
open to her. She mounted up to the
summit of the tower and from its bat
Elements made the splendid leap of nine
feet four inches across the space which
divided the tower from the castle and
landed safely within the main building.
She at once repaired to her room and lay
down on her bed to await the event.
Meanwhile her mother, after searching
all over the tower and castle, came to
her daughters sleeping-room and found
her peacefully reclining on her pillow
The young lady was of course astonished
at the visit at that untimely hour, and
the Countess was overcome with confrl-
sion for having for a moment entertained
unwarrantable suspicious. The maid
ems leap" as it is called to the present
day, was over a space sixty feet deep. 1t
may be added that at their next inter
view the lovers decided that the leap was
too dangerous to be repeated, and that

with success equal to that which ATTENDED
