large pouch is sorted at the preceding
post Office.
Then whatever mail matter she may
have for the private mail boxes she
carries in her pocket until she reaches
the box when she stops and placing it
inside hangs out the white rag as
signal to the family, when they may
see it, that there is mail matter there.
Then of the open mail service she has
from forty to fifty letters each night
to separate and deliver to their proper
ownel S, who come out regularly for
them The route is controlled under
government contract by Dwight Shurt-
Tiff, Of illicit distillery fame, who re-
ceives 5000 year for it. The private
mail bags yield a revenue each year Of
from enc to four dollars apiece, the
private mail boxes and the open mail
system yicldinga much less sum. Char
lotte Waldo, the driver, receives for
her services $50 year and the team
furnished. She starts at sly o'clock in the
morning and arrives at Bolton in time
fer the OPS train for Hartford. After
leaving the mail bag at the station she
drives to barn a short distance away,
where she unhitches and curries and
rubs down her horse for about an hour
Then she feeds him and eats her own
dinner, bringing both from home. At
twelve o'clock she starts back, dis
tributing the mail along the way, and
reaches home about six o'clock. The
distance is a little over eighteen miles
each way, making 36 miles day.

he could do was to request them to
make room around the palace court
yard for the coming exhibition. Thou
sands of thumbs were uplifted that
afternoon, in praise of the wonderful
hrcc-tah-cheh, or two-wheeled carts, as
they witnessed our modest attempt at
trick riding and special maneuvering.
After refreshments in the palace, to
which we were invited by the vice
roy, we were counseled to leave by

to wait till dark for our exit from the

woman stage driver. No, this Is
not far west romance. 1t is the sto-
ry Of fearless, self-reliant New Eng
land woman, who, every day of the
week except Sunday, in summer heat
and winter storm, guides team over
a portion of the old Boston and Hart
ford turnpike, collecting and distribat-
ing the United States mails between
the towns of Ashford and Bolton, in
Tolland county, Mass.
A correspondent who recently took
an early morning ride over the mail
route with Charlotte Waldo describes
the practical exponent Of woman's
rights as follows: 1t was at the little
town Of Ashford, and shortly before
six the woman driver drove up in car
rage and went into the office, appear
ing a minute later with United States
mail pouch on her arm. She was Of
medium height, and, although not
fleshy, her entire build suggested great
strength and endurance. Her face and
hands were as red as boiled lobster
from the exposure to all kinds of
weather. Her hair cut short and part
ed in the middle, huge black eye-gog-
giles, black sailor hat with white
ribbon and huge bow much the worse
for wear, pair of large mems shoes
upon her feet, and the resolute, deter
mined look on her face. all gave her a
decidedly masculine appearance as she
stood there with one hand on the car
riage, ready to get in, and the other
holding the mail bag. But the dress,
a gingham with huge plaids, made
plain and loose, instantly declared her
sex. Starting promptly at six, we had
gone probably about a quarter of a
mile when a man came out of house aud
handed her a letter as we trotted by.
This she explained to me was the
"Open mail service" All along the
route She receives these letters, having
thirty regular every day and about
twenty more of the less regular ones.
As she comes to post Office the letters
she has collected since leaving the last
Office on the route are duly brought
forth from the depths of mysteri-

and turned over to the postmaster,

fair clip, when she suddenly turned to

Neither of them seemed to think this
was good suggestion.
You don't like kissin', do you,
Judge?" Judge said he didn't. 'Lizah
said the same thing.
"Well, tell you what I'll do. I'll
give you dollar apiece if you kiss each
other right here"
The money proved too much for
them and they finally agreed to do it.
So they got on the insulated platform.
The minute their lips met there was a
flash of electricity which seemed to the
startled kissers as big as a house. They
never said a word hut turned and fed.

matter of how much to accept Of a Chi
nese present, and how much to pay for
it, in the way of tip to the bearer, is
one of the finest points of that finest Of
fine arts, Chinese etiquette: and yet in
the midst of such an abundance and va
riety we were HOP elessly at sea. Fruits
and teas were brought, together with
meats and chickens, and even a live
sheep. Our Chinese visiting-cards-
with the Chinese the great insignia Of
rank-were now returned for those
sent with the presents, and the hour
appointed for the exhibition of our BIZ
cycles as requested.
Long before the time, the streets and
hOusetOps leading from the inn to the
yiceroy's palace at the far end of the
city began to fill with people, and sol
diers were detailed at our request to
make an opening for us to ride through
abreast. This, however, did not pre-
vent the crowd from pushing us
against each other or sticking sticks in
the wheels, or throwing their hats and
shoes in front of us as we rode by.
When in sight of the viceroy's palace,
they closed in on us entirely. 1t was
the worst jam we had ever been in. BY
10 possibility could we mount our ma
= chimes, although the mob was growing
more and more impatient. They kept
shouting for us to ride, but would give
us no room. Those on the outside
pushed the inner ones against us. With
the greatest difficulty could we pre-
serve our equilibrium, and prevent
the wheels from being crushed, as
we surged along toward the pal
ace gate; while all the time our Rus
sian interpreter, Mafoo, on horse
back in front continued to shout and
gesticulate in the widest manner
above their heads. Twenty soldiers
had been stationed at the palace gate
to keep back the mob with cudgels
When we reached them they pulled US
and our wheels quickly through into
the irclosure and then tried to stem
the tide by 0elaboring the heads and
shoulders in breach, including those of
our unfortu bate interpreter, Mafoo.
But 1t. wasSno use. Everything was
swept away before this surging wave

RIDING FOR CHINAMEN.
Two American Bicyclers in Asia
Give Exhibitions.
They Were Compelled to Dash Into the
Cities and Lock Up Their Wheels
to Escape the Vast Crowds
OF Curious Natives.

On entering a Chinese city we always
made it rule to run rapidly through
until we came to an inn, and then lock
up our wheels before the crowd could
collect, write Thomas G. Allen, Jr.,
and William l.. Sachtleben in the Cen
fury, continuing their narrative of
ACROSS Asia on a Bicycle" UruIntsi,
however, was too large and intricate
for such a maneuver We were obliged
to dismOunt in the principal thorough
fare. The excited throng pressed in
upon us. Among them was a China
man who could talk a little Rus
sian, and who undertook to direct us to
a comfortable inn at the far end of the
city. This street parade gathered to
the inn yard an overwhelming mob.
and announced to the whole communi.
ty that "the foreign horses" had come.
1t had been posted, we were told, q
month before, that two people of the
new world" were coming through on
''strange iron horses" and every ono
was requested not to modest them. By
this, public curiosity was raised to the
highest pitch. When we returned
from supper at q neighboring restaur-
ant, we were treated to q novel scene.
The doors and windows Of our apart
ments had been blocked with boxes,
bales Of cotton, and huge cart-wheels
to keep out the irrepressible throng.
Our host was agitated to tears; he
came out Wringing his hands and
urging upon US that any attempt on
our part to enter would cause rush
that would break his house down. We
listened to his entreaties on the condi-
ton that we should be allowed to
mount to the roof with ladder, to get
away from the annoying curiosity Of
the crowd. There we sat through the
evening twilight, while the crowd be-
low, somewhat baked, but not dis
couraged, stood taking in every move.
Nightfall and drizzling rain came at
last to our relief.
The next morning a squad of soldiers
was dispatched to raise the siege, and
at the same time presents began to ar
rive from the various officials, from the
'tsogtu, or viceroy, down to the su-
perintendent of the local prisons. The

the side of the road, and, grabbing two
strings hanging out of a small box on
a post, she gave a sudden twitch and
landed a waterproof bag in the car
riage. The bag was closed at the top
with gathered strings, which are hung
out of the box for her to take hold of.
In appearance it very much resembled
skate bag. This, she informed me,
was the private mailbag service"
These bags, as in the case with the let
tiers, are turned over to the first post
master. Another system which, she
explained, was the most annoying of
all, is the private mail box" This sys-
TEN is used by those who haven't
enough mail matter to afford the pri-
vate mailbag system, and who are not
always in the house when the stage
goes by SO as to give or receive mail
matter. In appearance the system is
the same as the private mail bag, there
being long, narrow box fastened on
the end of post in such a manner that
it hangs out over the side of the road
like an inverted L. A white rag is
hung out of the box in place of gather
ing strings as a signal that the mail is
there. She carries small pouches each
way for Ashford, West Ashford, Mans
