FELTON,.

The postofice at FELTON, was broken
into sometime Monday night or Tuesday
morning by thieves who took a quantity
of supplies, the exact amount of which
has not been ascertained as yet by post
master w. 7. Bradley. 1t is supposed
that the entery of the place was made
about midnight, for at the time family
living near the office heard a strange
noise. They attribute it to passing train
however, and made no Investigation. The
thieves left no clue as to their identity,
but authorities in all sections of the pen
insula were warned of the presence of
yeggsmen and told to be on the look out
for them. The safe in the postoffice was
cracked by the burglars, and besides the
money contained in the place it is thought
that about 1000 stamps were taken.
Pieces of fuse and evidences of nitro
glycerine were found. Blankets had been

effected their entrance into the post
office.

Always Working Garb.

James Keir Hardie, the British labor

on the part of others. One story is
that Keir Hardie, then many years an

outside the house of commons. The

"Who works at night besides Pc

Miss Graham"
"Whew!" said Bramwen. Engaged,
aren't they?"
They stared at each other and then
smiled There was small hope of re-
covering the plans, but at least it
seemed to them that they were on the
trail.
John Peters, President Feggis' Sec
rotary, and Nancy Graham, his stenog-
rapher, had practically the run of the
office during tie presidents absence.
The inquisition had narrowed itself
down to them. Nobody else could pos
sibly have been guilty. Peters had en-
tered the presidents employ in his
present capacity five years before,
Miss Graham seven. She had worked
up to her present position at thirty dol
lars a week, and there existed some
feeling against her, not only on the
part of the girls who were now her
subordinates, but among Bramwell
and Lewis, who resented the fact that
she and Peters occupied a practically
Independent position during the presi-
aent's absence.
In spite of the heads precautions
The story of the theft leaked out. In
sensibly the suspicion of the Office
force was directed toward the occu-
pants of the mahogany-furnished room
where Peters and Nancy worked to-
gether. And insensibly Nancy felt
that chilling suspicion enter her own
heart.
There was, in reality, little room for
private talk between them, even if
they had been so minded. The presi-
dents office, fitted with transparent
windows that looked out directly upon
the general Office, allowed both occu-
pants to be seen at all times. Often
Nancy would look up from her work to
see a dozen pairs of eyes watching her.
They were to have been married

postponed when the crisis compelled
The cutting down of salaries. John
was making only forty-five a week
now, sum ample for their needs, only
Nancy, with memories of a life of pow
erty behind her, did not intend to
start life, giving up her position af-
ter her marriage, without a substantial
bank account And she would not
work when she was married. She and
John were old-fashioned people, and
neither believed in that.
Nancy" John had pleaded, give
up your work and marry me. l shall
be getting fifty again next year, and
after that a substantial raise at some
time. Don't let us spend our youth
together here when we might be so
happy"
The girl had steadfastly refused.
John had taken 1t hard at first. Some
times she almost relented, but her
principle kept her to her decision. He
would be glad when the time came.
Nancy" he had once said to her,
eff I could get some money. several
thousand dollars, would you marry me
at once?"
How would you get it," she par
ried.
81 have an investment" John had
laughed.
And his words came back to her as
she sat within the Office, near John.
Once she raised her eyes and looked
ct him steadfastly. His own eyes had
been fixed scrutinizingly on hers. He
dropped them.
