VIII Not Secure Free Delivery.

A number of towns in Missouri
which, during the past year, have be-
come eligible for the free-delivery
service from the fact that their re.
celpts for the year were in excess of
$4,000, will not begin the service on
account OF lnadequacy of the appro-
pflatlon and various other causes.
The receipts of the post office at Clinton for
the past year were 81, l32. TO- but the report of
the post office inspector was adverse to the es-

The room beyond the hall OF audience.
Very great was the treasure, people
said. for the Rajah had prospered all
his days. He had found Mindapore
village, and, behold it was city. Be-
low his fort of unhewn stone the Hat
rooted huts of mud had multiplied;
and now there sprang up houses ana up
stairs rooms. and the place which had
once boasted no more than one buniah
man, engendered bazar in the midst
of it, as fat oyster secretes pearl.
And the Rajah had walled his city
about.
Moreover, the Holy Place up the
river prospered, and the road up the
passes was made safe. Merchants and
fakirs multiplied about the wells, men
came and went, twice even white men
from the plain on missions to the people
over beyond the deodars, and the streets
of the town were even depser with poul-
try and children, and little dogs dyed
yellow, and with all the multitudinous
rich odors of human increase.
The Rajah pushed his boundaries east
and west, the Pax Britannica consent
ing, and made his fort ever larger and
stronger, and built himself a palace
at last, and n harem, and made gardens,
SO that he could live magnificently and
dispense justice to all that owned his
sway. And indisputably he did dispense
justice---in the name of Allah! uphold
ing the teaching of His prophet, in
purely Oriental manner, of course,
throughout all his land. Such were the
splendid properties Of the Rajah's rule.
The Rajah was portly, yellow-faced
man, with long black beard, now
steadily growing gray, thick lips and
shifty eyes. He was pious, very pious

accountable in his actions. None dared
withstand him to his face, even in little
things, and not a woman in the harem
dared by any device to try and wheedle
him from his will. He kept his own
thoughts and went his own way with
out counsel from any man; he was q
lonesome man, but seemed jealous Of
himself.
Golam Shah, his vizier, was but n
servant, carrier of orders; and Samud
Singh his master of horse, but driller
of soldiers. They were tools, he would
tell them outright in his pride of power,
staves in his hand that he could break
at his will. He went rarely to the
harem, taking no delight in the society
of women or singers, or in matches;
and he was childless. And his cousin,
him, and only in the remotest recesses
of his heart did he ever dare to wish
the Rajah would presently die and make
a way to the throne. And Aim grew
in years and knowledge, and Golam
Shah and Samud Singh sought his
friendship with an eye to the milder
days that would come. But the Rajah
did not die. He grew little plumper
and little more gray, and that was all;
until the days came when the talk of
the treasure spread through the land.
It would be hard to say when first
the rumor spread about the bazars of
the plain that the Rajah of Mindapore
was making hoard. None knew how
1t began or where. Perhaps from mcr-
chants of whom he had bought. 1t be-
gan long before the days of the safe.
1t was said that rubies had been bought
and hidden away; and then not only
rubies, but ornaments OF gold, and then
pearls and diamonds from Golconda,
and all manner of precious stones. Even
the deputy commissioner at Allnpore
heard OF IL. At last the story reentered
the palace at Mindaporc itself, and Aim

minister, talked IL over one with an
other i'm tentative way.
"lIc has something new" said Golam

Aim Khan watched him cunningly.

he said. "For my own part i know

that went the round of the city.

Khan. the Rajah's heir, sitting IN the
upper chamber of Golam Shah. There
fore we will wait awhile" For Azim
was more coward than traitor.
Golam Shah heard him with touch
of impatience, Notwithstanding that
the feebleness of Azim was Golam's
chief hope in the happy future that was
coming.
Such were the last days Of the reign
of the Rajah of Mindapore, in the days
when the story of the making of his
hoard had spread abroad from Pesha-
wur TO Calcutta. "Here am i" said the
wife of the deputy commissioners at
Allapore, enlarging on the topic. "wear-
ing paste, while the ground is positive
ly lumpy with buried treasures"
"But isn't it bad that horrid old man
should have so much?"
"He has"
At last there were men in the Deccan
even who could tell you particulars OF
the rubies and precious stones that the
Raiah had gathered together. But SO
circumspect was the Rajah that Aim
Khan and Golam Shah had never even
set eyes on the glittcring heaps that
they knew were accommodating in the
safe.
The Rajah ever went into the little
room alone, and even then he locked the
door of the little room-it had a couple
of locks--before he went TO the safe
and used the magic word. How all the
ministers and officers and guards list
ened and looked at one another as the
door of the room behind the curtain
closed!
The Rajah changed indeed, in these
days, not only in the particulars OF
his rule, but in his appearance. "He

was the heir.
ESPECIALLY is II since that English
man came" said Golam, three months
ago. A big old man, not wrinkled AS
an old man should be, but red, and with
red hair strealSing his gray, and with a
tight skin and big body sticking out
before. So-a hippopotamus of man,
"A great quivering mud bank of man,
who laughed nightly, so that the peo-
pie stopped and listened in the street
lie came, he laughed, and presently we
heard them laugh together"
"Well?" said Azim.
"He was a diamond merchant, per-
haps-or dealer in rubies. Do Eng
lishmen deal in such things?"
"Would had seen him!" said Aim.
"He took gold away" said Golam.
Both were silent Tor a space, and the
purring noise of the wheel of the upper
well, and the chatter of the voices about
it rising and falling, made pleasant
sound in the air. "Since the English
man went" said Golam, "he has been
different. He hides something from
me-something in his robe. Rubies!
What else can it be?"
"IIe has not buried it?" said Aim
"He will. Then nc will want to dig
it up again and look at it," said Golam.
for he was a man of experience. II go
softly. Sometimes almost l come upon
him. Then he starts"
"IIe grows old and nervous" said
Aim. and there was pause.
Before the English came" said Co
lam, looking at the rings upon his fin
gers, as he recurred TO his constant pre-
occupation; "thcre were no Rajahs
nervous and Old"
"The English are for time" said
Azim, philosophlcally, watching a
speck of n vulture in the air, over the
walnut trees that hid the palace.
That, say, was even before the COM
ing OF the safe. 1t came in packing
case. Such a case it was as had never
been seen before in all the slope of the
Himalayan mountains; it was an eie-
plants burden. 1T was days drawing
nearer and nearer tediously. AT ALA
pore the news preceded it, and crowds
went to see it pass upon the railway.
Afterwards elephants and then great
multitude of men dragged it up the
hills. And this great case being
opened in the hall of audience revealed
within itself monstrous iron box, like
no other box that had ever come to the
city. IL had been made. SO the story
went, by necromancers in England, ex-
pressly to the order of the Rajah, that
he might keep his treasure therein aud
sleep in peace. 1t was so hard that the
hardest files powdered upon its cor
ners, and so strong that cannon fired
point blank at 1t would have produced
no effect upon it. And il locked with
Il magic lock. There was n word, and
none knew the word but the Rajah.
With that word, and little key that
hung about his neck, one could open the
lock: but without it none could do SO.
So the story half whispered it's won
derful self about the city. The Rajah
caused this safe 10 be built into the
wall of his palace in a littks room be-
yond the hall of audience. He super
intended the building up of it with
jealous eyes. And thereafter he would
go thither by day, once at least every
day, coming back with brighter eyes.
