CHAPTER XIV.

Twelve days had elapsed since he re-
ceived that transatlantic warning.
and yet nothing had occurred to sug-
gest that Jeanne had arrived. 1t was
on the morning of the thirteenth day
He was alone in his study when the
postman left letter for Blanche. He
took it, and as he placed it on the table
where it would meet her eye when she
came in, he noticed that the super
scription was written in a very poor
hand. as if it were executed by an IL.
literate person. IT was a small cir
cumstance, but Goddard's mind was in
famed with morbid fears of impending
evil. He sat down at the fire and took
up the morning paper, but the letter
on the table held his attention as if it
contained warning from the Infinite.
He heard Blanche coming, and, rails
ing the paper, he pretended to be alb.
sofbed in reading. though he was really
watching her face as she advanced to
the table ard took up her letter. Cod
dardI saw look of wonderment pass
over her face as she opened the en-
velope. A moment later he heard her
cry out softly:
"Oh!"
He rose and went to her.
"What is it, darling?" he asked, his
heart sinking.
''Oh, nothing of Importance" She
put the letter into its envelope and
held it down by her side. at really
doesn't amount to anything"
! But despite this assurance there
was still shocked expression in hel
face.
He was actually afraid to pursue
his questions further, being sure that
it was some artifice of Jeanne's. Per.
haps some proposal from some con
| federate of hers leading to clandes
tine meeting. Goddard went back tc
his chair at the fire. His body felt as
heavy and lifeless as stone as he sal
down. She put her letter in her peck
ct and movea towards the door.
will you not let me see your letter
/ Blanche?" he found courage to ask.
Not now. dear" she answered, anc
it seemed to him that her mind wa.
far away
"Will you not tell me its contents?'
I'D really rather not, dear" SHE
said, and without another word she
turned from the room.
Unable to bear the suspense longer
he followed to the door He over
heard Blanche giving an order tt
James in low, guarded tone ant
stopped at the door just out of sigh
and just within earshot of the two.
81 want to go to the CITY," she wa!
saying. 81 shall walk down ant
catch the trolley car for the station
If my husband asks for me say shall
not be home for luncheon
Desperately concerned, Maj. God
dard began to walk back and fortl
across the room. A moment later
hearing steps in the hall, he went tt
window and looked out towards tn,

star Route Box Delivery.

A convenience of which many of Dur
people may avail themselves
and OF which they may not be aware, is
the new star route mail regulations in
effect since July /. There are at least
three star routes in this county, along
which the benefits from these regulations
NAV be derived and residents receive
their mail almost as punctually and con-
veniently as by the rural delivery service
already in effect over good part of the
county. The routes in this county are
from Charles Town via Daley and
Kabletown. to Myerstown from Kear
neysville, via Leetown, to Middleway /;
and from Shepherdstown to Snyder's
Mill. The principal provisions OF these
regulations, as we take them from
the circular issued by the Second Assist
ant Postmaster General, are:
ANY person living on or near the route
and not within the corporate limits of
any town or within SO rods of any post
a box on the line of the route by the car
rier on said route may provide and erect
a suitable box on the roadside, located in
such manner as to be reached as con-
veniently as practicable by the carrier.
and such person shall file with the post
master at the post office to which his mail
is addressed (Which shall be one OF the
two post offices on the route on either
side of and next to the box a request in
writing for the delivery of his mail to the
carrier ON the route for deposit into said
mail box, at the risk of the addressee.
1t shall be the duty of the postmaster
at every such post Office, upon written
order from any person living on or near
the route, to deliver to the proper mail
carrier for that route any mail matter,
except registered mail, with instructions
as to the proper mail box into which said
mail matter shall be deposited; but nc
mail matter so delivered to carrier fol
deposit shall be carried past another post
office on the route before being deposited
into mail box.
The carrier will be required to receive
from any postmaster on the route any
mail matter that may be intrusted to him
outside of the usual mail bag, and shall
carry such mail matter to and deposit II
into the proper boxes placed on the line
of the route for this purpose: such service
| by the carrier to be without charge tc
| the addresses.
| The Department does not prescribe
any particular design of box to be used
for this service, but the person providing
a box should see that 1t is of such char
acter as to afford ample protection to his
mail. If there is lock attached, key
is not to be held by the carrier, as he i:
expected to deposit the mail into the box
through an opening SO arranged as not
TO admit CT the mail being extracted from
the box thereby. The box should be so
| located on the roadside that the carrier
can deposit mail therein without leaving
| his vehicle.
The carrier is not required to collect
mail from the boxes, but the law provides
that every carrier of the mail shall receive
any mail matter presented to him, il
properly prepaid by stamps, and deliver
the same for mailing at the next post
Office at which he arrives, but that nc
| fees shall be allowed him therefor.
