came to be familiar sound in the post
Office, and the clerks listened for it
with much amusement, but the girl
at the window came to dread it.
She was haunted by the mournful
look that came into his eyes every time
she shook her head, and tried to con-
sole him one day by saying: ''Your
letter will surely cone soon; you have
been expecting it SO long"

said wanted letter; want bundle,
and want it pretty soon, too. I've
been 'specting it long time. and-and
I'm just tired of you shaking your
head, l am" The defiant little voice
ended with something very like sob.
The girl at the Office window was ac-
customed TO hearing complaints from
people larger than Bobby, who wanted
their nail and wanted it pretty soon,
too; but none of them had ever affected
her as this one did.
She came through the door into the
outer Office, and taking Bobby's hand
asked, kindly: Had you written to
someone to send you something?"
Seeing the look of sympathy on
her face, he told her AL about IT,.

The girl at the general delivery win

quiry: Say, is they anything for the
Jenners?" M
Looking through the window she saw
boy, with big, brown eyes, just on a
level with the shelf outside.
She took down the package of let
ters remaining in the general delivery
box, looked all through them, then
shook her head, and the boy turned
away with disappointed look.
In the afternoon, after the crowd had
left the otfice, he came again and called
up the girl: 'Is they anything for the
Jenners yet?"
The girl shook her head, but he was
not convinced. Look for Bobby Jen-
ner," he said. maybe you didn't look
for that name."
She knew there was no such name in
the package of letters, but to humor
the little fellow, she looked carefully
through them and answered, kind

and laughed, and then she showed
me his picture in the paper, and he
was man 'thout no white beard
like S1nta's, and she said they call
him guv'nor. He looked so kind and
good out of his eyes, l Just thought
maybe he would help us little If he
knew how hard up we was this fall.

room showed me how, but it didn't
stick good, and I'm afraid it lost my
letter out and the guv'Eor didn't get
it. and it's only one more week till
Thanksgiving"
His voice trembled, and the girl
turned her head for a moment to give
him chance to choke back his tears.
|. "Where did you mail your letter?'
she asked.
He pointed TO tiny crack under
the shelf of The general delivery
window. Right here" he said. II
couldn't reach the holes where the
big folks put their letters"
The girl told him to run long
home and be patient, and pulling out
the stamp drawer reached in behind
1t and found crumpled paper. 1t
was Bohby's letter to the guv'nor.
1t dropped out of the envelope into
her Lap, and she read the pitiful APP
peal; then taking sheet of paper
She wrote:
Dear Sir: This important letter has
been mislaid in our office. but l hope
II is not too late for you TO answer Ii
before Thanksgiving. Yours very truly,
THE Girl at the Office Window"
She folded this inside Bobby's LETT
ter, fastened the corners of the
brown envelope with mucilage, adj
dressed it properly, and taking a
stamp from her stamp book put it on
the corner She took out her purse
and counted her scanty savings; then
she put dime in the stamp drawer
and put special delivery stamp on
the brown envelope, too.
The governors mail was brought
to him at breakfast time. In the
package was the queer brown enyel-
ope, and the governor opened II first
out of curiosity. He read it through
once and smiled He read it again
and whistled softly; then the chill
dren called for an explanation, and
he read aloud: GA
