the Palace bar, and once or twice, unable
ia, proceed to his dwelling, spent the night In
a lumber yard, piloted thtther by the harder
veteran, Wilkerson.
The morning after the editor took him
home Fisbee appeared at the Herald office
in q. new hat and a decent suit of black. He
had received his salary In advance, his books
had been repurchased, and he had become the
reportorial staff of the Carlow County Her
aid. also, he was to write various treatises
for thet paper For the first few evenings,
when he started home from the Office, his
chief walked with him, chatting heartily,
until they had passed the Palace bar. But
Fsbee's redemption was complete. 1s
The old man had daughter. When she
came to PlattviIle he told her what the editor
of the Herald had done for him.
The journalist kept steadily at his works
and as time went on, the bitterness his
predecessors swindle had left him passed
away But his loneliness and sense Of de-
feat grew and deepened. When the vtstas OF
the world had opened to his first youth, he
had thought to spend his life In such a place
as Plattyille; sbut he found himself doing It,
and it was no great happiness to him that
the congressional representative of the dis
trict, the gentleman whom the Herald's op-
position to McCune had sent to Washington,
came to depend on his influence for renom-
tnation; nor did the realization that the edi-
tor Of the Carlow County Herald had come
to be McCune's successor as political die
tator produce a perceptibly enlivening effect
on the young man The years drifted very
slowly, and to him it seemed they went by
while he stood far aside and could not even
see them move. He did not consider the life
he led an exciting one; but sthe other citi-
zens of Carlow did when he undertook a
war against the white CAPS The natives
were much more afraid of the White Caps
than he was; they knew more about them
and understood them better than he did

mans. Suppose we leave our friends here
and go horne?''
Mr.. Fisbee was the one inhabitant Of the
town who had an unknown past; no one knew
more about him than that he had been con-.
nected with university somewhere. and had.
travelled in unheard-of countries before he
came to Plattyille.. A glamor of romance
was thrown about him by the gossips, to
whom he ever proved a fund Of delightful
speculation. There was dark, portentous
secret In his life, 1t was agreed; an opinion
not too we'll contirmed by the old mans ap-
pearance. His fine eyes had a pathetic habit
OF wandering to the horizon in a questing
fashion that had a queer, sort of hopelessness
In 1t, as II his quest We're one for the holy
grail. perhaps; and his expression was mild,
vague, and sad He had look of race and
blood; and yet, at the first glance, one saw
that he was lost in dreams, and one, guessed
that the dreams would never be OF great
practicability in their application. Some such
impression of Fisbee was probably what
caused the editor of the Herald to nickname
him4G his own mind) "The White knight
and to conceive a strong, If whimsical, fancy
for him.
Old Fisbee had come {from nobody knew
where) to Plattville to teach and had been
principal of the high school for ten years,
instructing his pupils after q peculiar
fashion of his own neglecting the ordinary
courses oi hlBn scnool instruction TO lecture
on archaeology to the dumbfounded scholars;
growing year by year more forgetful and
absent lost In his few books and his own
reflections, until, though undeniably q
scholar, he had been discharged for ,incom-
potency. He was old; he had no money: and
no way to make money; he could find Moth
ing to do. The blow had seemed to daze
him for time; then he began to drop in at
the hotel bar, where Wilkerson, the profess
sional drunkard, favored him with his So
ciety. The old man understood; he knew
it was the beginning of the end. He sold
his books in order to continue his credit at

Rural Mail Routss.

On Tuesday, July LIST the new mail con-
tract on stage routes began. Thomas
Grombois succeeded Mr.. Kochendorfer on
the Neche route and F. w. Felson sue.
coded himself on the Hamilton route.
Under the new regulations these mail
routes become rural delivery routes, that
is, the driver is compelled to deliver mail
to the persons addressed who live along
the route he travels.
In order that persons may understand
the conditions we take the following from
government circular.
To get mail delivered in this way, you
must live eighty rods or more from the
post Office.
You must erect suitable box or crane
on the line Of the mail route near enough
for the driver to deposit mail without
dismoun,ing, but not near enough to in
terfere with traffic, ''as convenient as
practicable" You must file with the
postmaster to which your mail is ad.
dressed written request for such de-
livery, at your own risk.
You may provide small bags or satch-
els, at the post Office for your mail, to be
delivered by the postmaster to the driver
who will hang them on your crane or de-
post in your box.
You furnish your own box and keep
your own key. The driver carries no
keys. The driver does not have to take
mail for delivery from the boxes. He
is compelled to take prepaid mail cnroute
when handed him.
One result of the rural mail delivery is
the discontinuance ofmany small country
offices and we understand that Wexford
is the first to lose its identity for this rea-
son.
Persons who live a mile or two away
from the mail route, can easily arrange
for their mail to be left in a box be-
longing to neighbor or in neighbours
care who does live on the route.
1t will take some little time to get the
thing running smoothly and misunder.
standings will occur. but with a little pa
tience and forbearance on the part of the
public, postmasters and driver, it will
soon be found to be a great conven.
fence to the public, and very sensible
procedure.
