with court-plaster, and the boy had
strips of court-plaster upon both hands
and across the bridge of his nose.
so this is the boy who saved the reg
1stered pouch, is it?" said the postmas-
ter-gcneral. looking kindly at Aleck.
That's the boy replied the registry
clerk, who then related the details of the
story, and told of their arrival in WASH
lngton that morning upon the relief
train sent to the wreck. The great man
listened attentively, and seemed much
interested in the account of Alexis
scramble after the treasury pouch.
But how did this boy happen to be
in the postal carr" he asked Then
Aleck in a straightforward manner
told his story, from the time he had re-
solved to try to get his uncle's pension,
and in simple language pictured the
trouble hanging over the Nebraska
ranch. "And now I've come to Wash
ington to try to find some one with in
fuence, to help our pension case along"
said he, in conclusion.
You shall have it, my boy" said the
postmaster general; and he took
Alexis hand in his own and pressed it
warmly. Then he told his messenger
to call his carriage and drove with Aleck
to the pension bureau, where they
were Immediately shown into the pres
ence of the commissioner of pensions.
There Aleck had to tell his story over
again to the commissioner.
And, now, Mr.. Commissioner" said
the postmaster general, Il ask YOU to
take up this pension case as favor to
me. This boy has saved the govern
ment 100000, and it is as little as we
can do to help him in this way"
The commissioner said he would he
glad to do so, and promised to have Mr..
Jenifer's claim examined atonce.
That same night Aleck left for home.
travelling in Pullman car and on a
pass which the postmaster general pro-
cured for him. There was great reioic-
ing in that little home in Nebraska
when he returned; and when, one week
later, Mr.. Jenifer's draft came and was
cashed at the bank, the first money used
was to buy Brown Bess from Mr..
Brand.

to ride in the postal car said the SUI
perintendent, gravely.
Il know it, SIR answered Brand
but this is a special case. Aleck woulc
not ask it, and l would not, sir, if il
were not to save the ranch"
Here George told the story of Alecll's
sacrifice of Brown Bess in his efforts
to help his uncle, and of the difficulty
he had experienced in getting to Chi
cago. 81 only ask that you 'deadhead
him to Pittsburgh in my car" conclud-
ed Brand in an appealing voice
well, you are brave boy, and will
do it," said the superintendent, land

A few moments later the bows left
tie room with pass in the superin-
tendents own writing. Aleck had come
to Chicago on a stock train in the care
of a neighbor, who was bringing train
load of cattle to the market, earning his
passage by helping the men feed and
water the cattle on the way.
When they reached the depot and
climbed into the postal car, Aleck was
first introduced to the clerks. Then he
made himself comfortable upon a pile
of empty mail sacks, while Brand, who
was the clerk in charge of the registered
mail, began his work of checkinsNthe
pouches. He told Aleck that these
sacks contained money and valuable
packages and that in one of them were
several hundred thousand dollars going
to the United States treasury. "I'lf
keep my eye on that pouch, tell YOU"
laughed Brand; and Alexis eyes opened
wide at the idea of so much money 50
rear him. The next afternoon they ar
rived at Pittsburgh, and the mail for
Washington was transferred to an
other car. Aleck was sorry to part with
Brand, but found his new acquaintance
very pleasant fellows. He saw the reg
istered pouch with the treasury money
III it slowed away beside the registry
clerks rack. That pouch seemed like
on old friend, and he felt that he al
most had a personal interest in its safe
delivery.
That night the train was running
down the eastern slope of the Allegheny
mountains, swinging around the curves
at lively rate. Aleck was still awake,
curled up on his pile of sacks in the
registry clerks end of the car, wonder
ing how many pensions could be paid
Out of the money in that registered
pouch. Then there was sudden Jar
ring under the car, and terrible crash.
The lights went out, and Aleck felt him
self rolling over and over, with mail
sacks under and above him. There was
an awful stiffness for moment; then
'be silence was broken by groans and
cries of pain. Aleck tried to raise him
self, but found both legs pinned down
by great piece of timber. He could
see nothing for a few minutes; but
presently, through the twisted mass of
above, he saw the light of
l lantern and heard voices.
Help! Help! Here l ami" shouted
Aleck.
The ring of an ak and the sound of
timber told him that help was
coming, and in five minutes more a hole

81 need the money" answered Aleck,
choking back a sob.
Mr.. Brand came out and looked at the
horse. After some further talk the
bargain was concluded, and Aleck
started out of the post office with four
five-dollar bills. Before he reached the
door. however, he turned and said:
Mr.. Brand, is your son George still a
postal clerk on the railway"
Eyes, Aleck. His run as they call
it, is from Chicago to Pittsburgh"
AS Aleck left the post Office he passed
by his pony, still hitched to the rack;
and Brown Bess neighed in an inquir-
ing manner as he went down the street,
as if to say: Where are you going
without me, Aleck?
But he hurried on without looking
back. Reaching home, however, he
slipped in the back way, and, climbing
into the loft of the barn, lay face down
in the hay, and cried as if his heart
! would break as he thoeght of the empty
stall below him.

complete. Far Into the night they
talked it over, for it was a momentoW

Aleck; it's to save the ranch, and may
God bless you, boy"
On the evening of the third day after
the sale of Brown Bess, Aleck French
was at Chicago in the Office of the di
vision superintendent of the railway
mail service. George Brand, the post
masters son, was with him, and the,
