Her feet well shod and neat

Secret sIgn on an Envelope the Cause
Of Present System.

Quite recently there has been more
or less discussion as to the origin Of
the postage stamp.
Perhaps the most authentic story Is
that which comes from the post ONCE
department at, Washington.
1t appears that about 65 years ago
Rowland Hill was travelling through
one of the northern districts Of Eng
land and for a time was sojourning at
an inn where the postman came with
letter for a young miss, who turned
1t over and over in her hand and after
examining the envelope infinitely IN
quired the price of the postage. which
was shilling. She sighed sadly and
returned the letter to the postman
saying that it was from her brother
but that she had no money.
Mr.. Hill was an onlooker and was
touched with pity. He paid the
postage and his action seemed TO EN-.
barrass the girl. Whsn the postman
had gone she told Mr.. Hill that some
signs marked on the envelope con-
veyed to her all she wanted to know
and that as a fact there was no writ
Ing inclos?d In extennaticn she said
that she and her brother had COLI
trived a code system of communicat
Ing, as neither or them were able to
10y rost charges.
Mr.. Hill thought Of the results Of a
system which made such frauds pos.
sible. Before another day he had
