thought of pretty gowns-to be worn as a

was sorry for David.
About a month after the engagement
John AIroy was made postmaster OF Garrett.
He was young, quick. clever and hand
some.
Joyce vas busy at the store, so Mary
often went to social gatherings without
him, be calling for her later on in the
evening He did not dance; AlIoy did.
It eralLa,,y' dawned upon him that Mary
danced good deal with the postmaster.
In April he made his usual spring trip
to buy goods. He had bean away week,
when he received i letter from Mary. She
asked to he absolved from her engagement
with him. He was stunned and FASTENED

met him tod him his doom.

Throughout the summer be saw little OF
the happy pair, invented business excuses
taking him often away from home Winter
came, aud the store claimed him. April
loomed-the anniversary of his shattered
hopes-and he heard that Mary would be
married in June. In June the marriage
was put off until autumn.
This wac the reason: The postotfice at
Garrett was third class Out of his salary
the pos saaster was expected to defray all
Office expenses. In the second class office
clerk hire and other liabilities were met by
postmaster was considerably increased.
Alroy proposed TO raise his office to the
second class, so as to be able to marry. To
DO this he must prove that the business OF
his Office nd increased for a year to such
an extent that it equalled existing second
class Offices Late in the summer he said
that this was so. In September an expert
discovered that, while the sale OF stamps
for year equalled that of an office Of the
higher grade, it did not represent a cprrt
spending increase in mailed matter. Aroy

In January Joyce was summoned to act
as grand Juror on the Goth Of February in
the city more than 100 miles away.
The afternoon of the 18th brought
Garrett binding snowstorm. The
streets were deserted. Business was at IA

at the store. 1t was Mary Hammond.

Joyce's heart gave bound. He had not
thought OF that.
"The grand jury, am informed" she
went on, "decide il there is sufficient
ground to make out case to go before the
court You will have voice in deciding
whether or not there is case against the
postmaster.
Joyce's eyes were like Goals of fire.
''lf it were in your power, you would
convict the postmaster" she said.
Joyce found his voice.
''If knew him to be guilty, yes" he
said.
