THE MIGRATORY MAILBOX
BY SAM IT. KENNEDY

rier to collect Next morning it was
gone Investigation disclosed the fact
that the box had been planted or had
planted itself firmly at the corner of
Nineteenth street and Avenue e, half a
block away.
Great excitement prevailed and charges
and counter charges were made. Post
master Kennamer refused to make a
statement further than to say that when
the office was moved away from the box
that he appointed Glen Burke custodian
and would most certainly hold him re-
sponsible for the same. Burke says That
John s. Harris kidnapped the mailbox to
draw trade to his store. Harris claims
that Burke moved the box himself for
the purpose of bringing charges against
Postmaster Kennamer, having designs on
Kennemers job, and having to resort to
desperate measures since Burleson's dis
concerting announcement that officehold-
ers would serve until the expiration of
their appointment
Meantime armed guards are posted at
both the mailboxes, and any attempt at
further abduction of the precious twin
receptaeles will be prevented IL possible.
To prevent bloodshed Postmaster Ken
manner yesterday issued a bulletin to the
effect that within a short time additional
boxes would be supplied. When this is
done it will be possible to mail a letter
without having to walk more than two
or three miles.

The Mystery of the Migratory Mall
box is engaging the attention of anna
teur sleuths in Ensley at present. Since
Sherlock Holmes is not available, and
all of Burns detectives are engaged in
watching the houses in the "block where
Lacy is in hiding, expert and highbrow
talent is lacking but Clem Burke and
Shorty Miller each have clue, or
rather one has a clue and the other a
clew.
The beginning of the story dates back
to the time when Ensley with a popu-
lation of 20,000 had a postoffice that pos
sibIy would have been tolerated in some
towns of 1000. With this postoffice were
two street mailboxes. That is to say.
one of them was with it, situated right
in front of the door. The other box was
lonesomely located a block and a half
away at the Bank of Alabama corner, on
Eighteenth street.
When the present handsome postoffice
building was completed and occupied. the
street mailbox was left in front of the
old building on Avenue Il. This was
most convenient for the business men
in that vicinity after the office had been
moved away from them.
Now comes the mystery. Last Tuesday
night the box was there. faithfully doing
its duty in receiving letters for the car
