FINALLY GOT RID OF sUIToR
Tired Maiden Accepted His Offered
Life, and Under the Circumstances
What Could He Do?

He was theatrical lover, and she
didn't like his style in the least, for
he was constant in his devotion,
which made matters worse. She had
tried gentle means to get rid of him,
but he had dlsregarded them with
painful persistency.
Dear one" he exclaimed, hurling
himself tragically at her feet, II love
you! MY life is yours Will you
take it?"
She did, and not like a murderess,
but she responded, with calm determi-
nations
Il will"
He gazed at her rapturously,
Don't do that" she begged, draw
ing back from him as if in horror. Il
have taken your life, as you request
ed me to do, and you are henceforth
to all intents and purposes dead"
He seemed dazed

vious. and Edith Immediately en-
braced the opportunity.
"oh!" che said; that isn't nearly
so bad as death" and before them all
she stretched out her hand to him.

voice.
NO" she said. forcing herself to
look at him. After a while perhaps
some time"

getting Howard quiet and composed,

Mrs. Varney approached him. but
Wilfred was quicker.
Il would like to shake hands with

hand Go ahead"
And so would l." said Caroline, fol.

But General Randolph turned once
more
"one moment, please" said the Off
Ger. AS he came forward, the others
fell back. Only Edith Varney kept
her place close by Thorne's side
There is only one reason on earth
why the president has set aside a
certain verdict of death. You held
up that false order and made a turn in
eIr favor. You are not to be tried as
a spy, but held as a prisoner of war
We expect you to make that turn
complete and enter our service"
Never" replied Thorne instantly.
That's impossible, sir"
You can give us your answer
later" said the general.
You have it now"
You will be kept in close confine.

continued the older officer
You make me prisoner for life,

You will see it in another light be-

thing to do with a change in your
views"

"Oh, very WELL" said the general, |
smiling a little. I'VE will see what a
little prison life will do Sergeant?"
Yes, sir
"I have turned the prisoner over to
Major Whitfield. He requests you to
take the prisoner to his office, where
he'll take charge of him"
Very good sir" answered the SER
geant.
What is it?" whispered ThOrne to
Edith. Love and goodbye"

first" She stopped and looked at him,
her face flushed, her heart throbbing,

Thank God" whispered Thorne.
Until we meet again"

Thorne and Edith Varney, and many

EXPRESS COMPANIES TO MEET
COMPETITION.

The express companies are prepar-
ing to meet the rates that will be
put into effect January l under the
Parcel Post law. They will compete
for the parcels that come within the
scope of the Bourne act. It is the
purpose of the express people to try
to hold their business in the towns
and cities. They cannot deliver their
parcels in the rural districts.
If the express companies cut their
rates to compete with the Parcel
Post law, starting with New York as
central point or basis, the follow
ing reductions must be made:
From rs cents on one, two or
three pound package, within fifty
miles of New York, to five, eight or
eleven cents; from 80 cents on
four or five pound package, to IA or
II cents, and from 35 cents on six,
seven, eight, nine, ten or eleven
pound package, to 20, 23, &c, 80 or
35 cents.
Six pounds, about the medium
weight for a parcel, will be carried
by the postofice department so
miles for 20 cents, 100 for %, 200
Or 800 for 80, and 400 or 500 or 600
for 38 cents, 1000 for A.
For the same service the express
companies would charge: 100 miles
for 35 cents, 200 for As. 500 or 400
miles for so, 500 miles for 55, 600
miles for 60, 700 or 500 miles or
900 miles for 70, and 1000 miles
for 80.
The parcel post package cannot
weigh more than eleven pounds, but
one can send sixty-six pounds in six

close personal friends here said that
this is only one of a number of resi-
denceS which the President has I'M
der consideration, for it is taken for
granted that he will make New
Haven his permanent home after he
comes to Yale.
This friend added that it was Mr..
Taft's plan after he had retired from
the White House to go South for sew
eral weeks for rest. Then h will
come to New Haven late in A pril and
with his family take apartments at
the Hotel Taft, across the street
from the Yale campus, remaining
there until fall, when he will occupy
his new home.
If Mr.. Taft takes the Parmelee
home he will be on one of the finest
avenues in the town. It is right in
the heart of the college community
and at the other end of the block
north from the Parmelee home is
that of Timothy Dwight, former
president of Yale. Close by are the
homes of Walter Camp, the Yale ath-
letic leader; Prof. Henry w Far
nam, the Yale economist; Prof Ed
ward S. Dana, the eminent scientist,
and only block east is President
Hadley's home and that of Prof.

packages fifty miles for 1920, for
which the express companies charge
$3.05, A comparison of aggregates
shows that the express companies
charge $3.50 for what the parcel
post will charge $38,28. The parcel
post rate reduction from the present
express charges is 1851 per cent.
In order to meet the competition
better the express companies will in
crease their delivery force and en-
ploy the most modern equipment.
The contest is to be spirited.
Before the express companies can
put into effect their competitive
rates they must give three days no.

cost of living in this country. It
will give better and cheaper means
of transportation to places where's
prices are high on many articles be-
cause of the high charges for carry
ing them. With the Government
transporting parcel post packages at
cost, the reduction in the carrying
charges on many things that enter
into living expenses will naturally
tend to reduce the prices of these to
the consumer.
Zone of the best, if not the best
feature Of the parcel post service
will be the tremendous advantages
it will confer on people living in ru-
raj communities. 1t will bring them
in close touch with stores in the city
whose goods they will receive at
their doors at comparatively little,
If any, extra expense. And the far
mer will find an added advantage in
the fact that he will be able to ship
his farm produce in packages up to
eleven pounds at the lowest possible
cost. Everything he brings to the
Post Office for transmission must be
carried, provided that it is within
the limit of size and weight and
does not include any of the prohibi-
ted articles.
while the mail order houses in
the big cities will benefit, the small
merchant in the town will find that
the system will operate to his ad-
vantage also. The zone system which
we have established is to be utilized
for his protection. He will operate
within a smaller territory, that is,
within narrower zone than the big
house doing mail order business
Therefore the postage rates he will
have to pay on parcel post packages
will be less, and this will enable him
to compete with the city houses.
'The benefits of the parcel post
will extend throughout the country
and to all the possessions of the Uni
ted States. 1t is bound to stimulate
trade and necessarily will work to
the prosperity and general advant-
age of the people. Up to this time
the Post Office Department was able
to give the advantage Of cheap rates
on material that appealed merely to
the intellect. Now, however, we
shall be able to furnish jewellers in
remote hamlets with material COM
forts which had been denied them
through high charges for transpor-
tatiOn."
