Several horsemen were riding rapidly

"Where is your claim, Peter" asked
Hawkes., looking curiously around.

said, slipping down from the saddle

looked about for Dave Lumly, but he
was not in sight, and with resumed

When she rounded the rock the sor-

Lumly, on his knees, was stuff1ng q

"Your left hand up" she command

With a muttered oath he swung his
arm aloft. The sorrel horse drew near

P. o. DEPARTMENT
Is Asking Patrons to Assist
Carriers.

The post office department at
Washington is sending out letters
to the postmasters Of the larger
cities, accompanied by circular
letter, which asks for the co.opera-
ton Of the patrons OF the postoffice
in facilitating the delivery of mail
by the carriers by erecting private
mail boxes.
The circular which has been sent
to Postmaster Breathitt, and which
he is sending out, reads as follows:
By the direction of the Postoffice
Department, the attention of patrons
Of this Office is invited to the advan.
tages of providing facilities for the
receipt of their usual mail by erect
ing conveniently accessible boxes or
cutting suitable slots in their doors.
Such action would enable the post
master to give prompter and better
delivery service with the means at
his disposal, since the carriers can
cover more territory in less time if
not compelled to wait for an answer
to their ring. Private receptacles
for mail are also a great convenience
to the householder, obviating the
necessity of responding to the car
rier's call at inconvenient moments
and permitting the safe delivery of
mail in the absence Of members of
the household. They also prevent
the occasional necessity of a carrier S
proceeding on his route without de-
livering the mail because of failure
to answer his ring within a reasona.
bic time, and enable him to make
deliveries to patrons living near the
end of the route at an earlier hour.
1t has been shown by actual ex-
perience that the benefits derived
by patrons of city delivery from the
use of such receptacles far outweigh
the small expense involved. AS this
Office is interested in furnishing the
best possible service at the least ex-
peuse, your compliance with the
foregoing suggestions will be much
a preciated.
Respectfully
Z. A. VAN RENSSELAER,.
Postmaster.
Note;-Neither the Postmaster
nor any of his subordinates is au-
thorized to act as agent for boxes.
