How did YOU find out Old Tompson

How did you find out Old Tompson
had registered letter at Big Elm?"
FROM his cow puncher, Rum Char
ley. We're good friends, and l met
Charley as he was riding back from
Big Elm this afternoon. He was
swearin' high at Old Fowler for not
lettin' him have a registered letter
that had Just come in for the boss.
Fowler said he'd deliver it into no
hands except Tompson's own He
wouldn't accept Rum Charley's receipt
for it, and that's what made him so
mad. It's an important letter, contain
in one thousand dollars from Hepley's
bank in payment of a check old Temp

Maybe Old Tompson will post right
over to Big Elm this evenin' for his
letter"
Bother, mani Old Tompson's away
from the ranch and won't be home for
two days. l got everything straight
from Charley. A half pint of brandy

DAYS OF THE POSTBOY.
How the English Got Their Letters In the
OIdeu Times

How the English Got Their Letters In the
OIden Times
Perhaps a little chat about the meth
DDS and difficulties of conveying letters
in bygone days may help you to realize
and appreciate the advantages of the
present
We viii not 60 farther back than the
latter part of the seventeenth century
about two hundred years ago And
we will imagine ourselves in England
There were no steamboats, and steam
cars to carry travellers to near or distant
parts of the country at that time. And
as people stayed at home SO generally,
there was not nearly so much letter
writing as now. We go on frequent
journeys. and want to let our dear ones
know where we are. what we are doing
and how we are faring Besides, there
were not many post offices outside OK
the cities and large towns, and it was
only to important places in the vicinity
of London that the mail was sent as
often as once u day, and towns at some
distance had their letters and newSpI-
pers but once a week. To remote cOun-
try places. villages, gentlemen's coun-
try residences and farms, especially
during the winter, when the public and
private roads were very bad, the mails
were very uncertain, being often fort
night and sometimes an entire month
apart.
At thet time the bags containing the
letters were all carried by hOrsemen,
the mail carrier jogging along by night
and day at the rate of about five miles
an hour-in good weather and in sum
mer time; for the highways were usually
in a very bad condition. 50 that fast rid
ing was not possible The postman often
ran the risk of being stopped and plum
dered by mounted highwaymen, at that
time a terror to travellers by horseback
or coach They seemed to be on
sharp lookout for any valuables in
money, paper, or otherwise that might
be sent in the post-bagS They rode
the fastest and finest horses, were bold
and daring; and when the postman
found himself in lonely road or cross
ing a dark moor late at night, you may
be sure he urged his weary horse forward
and joyfully welcomed the first ray of
light that shone from the lantern
swinging to the sign of the roadside inn
Hounslow Heath, Finchley Common
and Gadshill, in the neighborhoOd Of
London, were celebrated haunts of the
highwayman, and the secluded roads Of
Epping Forest, on the route to Cam
bridge, were often the scenes of plum
der in broad daylight These despe-
rate robbers at last became so danger
Gus and the peril of their attacks so Sc
rious to travellers of all kinds, as well
as to the postmen, that the government
passed law making highway robbery
an offense punishable by the death of
the criminal and the con6scation of all
his property. But robberies still Oc-
Cured
In 1883, mail-coaches, protected by
armed guards, took the place of post
boys The coaches carried passengers
also, and, as these generally carried
arms, the mails were better protected;
but still daring and oftentimes success
full attacks were made upon them-St-

ute to spare" and. despite the pain in
his arm. Tom walked briskiv away
across the prairie.
He recognized in the leader of the
plotters Dave Muwley. a new settler of
questionable character. who had n
small cabin near those bluffs. BY some
few persons he was secretly suspected
of having some connection with an out
law gang of Indian Territory; but he
had managed to keep up u semblance
of responsibility by working part Of
his time for GRAY. a wealthy stocllman,
some twenty miles from Big Elm.
"Mowley has appeared in his true
character at last" Tom remarked. as
he hurried along toward Fowler's cabin.
But I'll foil him"
Then he remembered his injured
right arm. He could nct use mis- revol
yer easily with his left hand. What was
he to do?
III prove poor match against those
two villains, my arm this way" he
said. There's not house along this
trail where l can stop tor help. and it's
too far to go home and tell them. The
least delay now is dangerous. l must
save Bessie or die in the attempt"
Bessie Fowler was putting out the
light, preparatory TO retiring. when a
gentle rap on the window-pane startled
her.
"Oh, Tom! What's the matter?"
Hush! Don't alarm your mother
yet. Let me into the kitchen at once"
She quickly complied. AS she closed
the door behind him, she cried:
''0h. Tom! Is something wrong with
father?'
Hes all right. believe, only gone
on false errand."
False errand! What 90 you mean,
Tom
NO matter. Is there a valuable let
ter in the post office 70: Ranchman
Tompson?" he asked.
Yes"
''Iou must be brave. Bessie, and help
me. MOwley and another villain will
make a raid on the post Office tonight
to get possession of it, and he briefly
he had overheard.
What can we do?" said the girl.
with white face. We're so far from
all aid, and your arm hurt that way"
Never fear, Bessie; wen battle
them some way. Let US go into the
post Office. l want to take some
notes"
The post Office of Big Elm was kept
in 4 room which had once been used
as the Fowler kitchen. A long table
surmouuted with box divided of into
rude pigeon holes for holding the mail
stood in one corner The table had one
large drawer, which contained the
postal supplies and all valuable letters
coming to or leaving the Office.
The room had only one window,
while just beneath it was large trap
door, leading into the cellar. Tom re-
ceived an idea
Bessie, is the outside cellar door
locked?"
Yes; securely"
"Weu, You take Tompson's letter
and all the stamps and hide them in
your room. See that all the windows
are secured, then put out the lights
and get quiet III stay here"
Halfway TO Gray's ranch, Fowler
met one of the cowboys who told him
that Mr.. Gray was not ut home.
Guessing at once that he was the vie
tim of false message, he rode frantic
ally back to Big Elm.

THE OPENING YEAR.

Your hand, New Year, since we must comrades
be
Through the strange circles OF the seasons four /.
Flooding in lonely paths mid drifting snow
When days are dark, and vhirling tempests
roar,
VIII your strong guiding arm be round me
pressed:
And when the ice bars melt, and warm blue
streams
Laugh in the sun. and leap toward the sea,
VIII you. then, share my happy spring time
dreams
The waking songs that birds and poets know,
And when red roses burn on Bonded sprays,
And lovers roam through sbsdowy woodland
ways.
VIII you keep kindly pace And last when
brown
Lie the sweet fields, and faded leaves come
down,
And We are tired, both. and fam to rest
VIII you be friends with me, still true and
near:
Then take my hand and heart, dear comrade
