How Rural Free Delivery Works In

How Rural Free Delivery Works In
Colorado District.
The rural free delivery Of mail is in
operation in one district in Colorado.
This district is portion of Larimer
county, lying along the Big Thompson
river just east of Lovcland. 1t is about
six square miles, and is Inhabited by
about 100 families living on well-inl-
proved ranches. 1t is an ideal district
foI a favorable test of the advantages
Of free delivery in farming district.
The roads are always good, even In
winter, and the weather is seldom bad.
Probably no class Of farmers any.
where in this country are more tn,
clined to read than the Colorado raDch-
men. They are from Eastern states.
and they seek to keep in touch with
their former homes by means of news
papers. They take metropolitan news
papers and country weeklies. They
are subscribers to weekly and monthly
periodicals Of all sorts, and they do
considerable mail order business with
firms in Eastern cities A daily mail
Is, therefore, to the farmers of Lari-
Wer county. a great boon.
The district is covered by two car

livering and taking up all mail to be
forwarded from the ranch homes. The
routes have been laid out carefully,
and wherever 1t Is found more con-
venient to leave the mail for several
persons at the foot of side road this
Is done, boxes for the purpose being
placed on posts.
The carrier rides In blackboard,
with seat space for one passenger, and
under his contract with the govern
ment he Is permitted to do a parcel de-
livery and general express and ines
senger business. He takes orders from
the farmers for supplies, medicines or
messenger service. He carries for a
small fee to and from Loveland. Like
the ship grocery along the New Eng
land coast, the country carrier does all
sorts of errands. As q means of in
terchanging the gossip aud news Of the
township he is an undoubted success.

favor, strong swarthy and, to Ames'
eye. forbidding. But his study was In
terrupted by the sound Of an opening
door, and lie swung around to salute a
metamOrphosis. The Lady of the En-
bankmcnt had shed her street attire:
in place of the long black cloak and
the small black hat she wore now a
clinging dress, white with the alluring
Wilderness of the softest silk and the
s0ftest laces, fopplshly refined, pro.
vocatively negligent, seeming more
like garment slipped on for the lazi-
ness of some last hour before bed after
a ball than for any more wideawlke
moment of the four-and-twenty hours.
Philo felt an admiration of her in his
heart which must have betrayed itself
in his eye, for she smiled upon him
royally:
that am beautiful?"
Philo .Ames had hut one answer to
make and II adc 1t. Indeed l do" he
said. with such absolute sincerity in
his voice that the wolnan's pale face
flushed with the unavoidable feminine
pleasure in praise. Ames was think,

which She stood before him, daintily
defiant. "am good enough to die for

Again Ames. in the honesty of his
soul. had but one answer. Indeed

Even the cOolness of Philo's temper,
even the composure of his carriage,
gonlil not prevent him from a start Of
surprise at this menace of imminent
and unseen danger. He looked watch
fully at the door of tho room which
the woman had just left. She followed
his glance and shook her head.
"Listen." she said. "D0 you hear a
