.SANBORN LOSES HIS
 EASY BERTH IN THE EAST SIDE STATION
But Mystery Surrounds His Transfer = w he oever
 Knows Why Won't Tell.

George P. Sanborn, whose features were almost as familiar to patrons of the East Bridgeport post office as was the architecture of the building, and who expected-until just now-one day to become the superintendent of the station has been denoted. b Sanborn's shift came like a bolt from the blue. Following closely upon the Investigations made here by inspectors of the post office de- partment, who have been looking into many petty jealousies in the post office staff, it has excited much discussion.
 Guardedly do the postal employe discuss his case, for fear of trans gressing a rule of the department. But people in civil life are speculating on why Sanborn has been taken from his soft berth in East Bridgeport, and thrust into a night job at the main office.
 Sanborn entered the postal service in 1891, and after seven years ser vice in the main office, he was trans ferred to the East Side Station when that office was opened to the public. He was placed in the money order de- partnent.
 Sanborn is known not only as a postal employe. He is a cornet player of no mean ability With the Wheeler & Wilson band he has been able to earn considerable, for his postal ern- ployment was in the day time and most of the band work was at night
 Now Sanborn is juggling mail sacks in the post office His task is one of the most naeniel in the service.
 There, is a story abroad that re- gently two money order receipts be- came accidentally exchanged. As a result a woman. in Italy, who needed the money represented by the larger order to defray the expenses of ap- preaching motherhood, suffered keen ly through receiving the smaller amount.
 The rnistake-made in the postal service-was concealed from certain officials who naturally should know of it. In the red tape that followed the effort to disentangle the mesh of accounting mistakes, the error was brought to light.
 And there's another story that a shabbily attired workman one day sought a money order and during reg ular hours, but failed to get it. He met with a, brusque refusal because the money order clerk was 1too busy just now.
 But these stories are not attached to Sanborn. No one knows why he was moved. He won't tell, Postmaster Charles F. Greene won't tell San Rorn's friends are wroth. There are postal employees who are gleeful. But they won't tell why they smile when they see the former money, order clerk perspiring beneath heavy mail bags these hot nights.

Osborne had often expressed their
regret at the futility of these duels.
They had determined to kill at least
one adversary if it could be done. On
Osborne depended the issue princi-
pally, for the steering of the ma
chine was even more than the aiming
of it. 1t was necessary to catch the
occupant of the taube where he could
not retaliate, as, for instance, flying
low and getting in raking fire across
his propeners, which impeded his
own aim. -. L.

THE AIR BATTLE
By Frank FiIson

Copyright by W. G. Chapman.0
Flight Osborne and
Carter were like brothers. When two
men ascend into the skies daily, risk
ing life both from fall and the bull
lets and shells of the enemy, they are
apt to be drawn closely together.
For three months they had secuted
ahead of the British columns. Os-
borne was the pilot, Carter the OBJ
server. Osborne, seated behind, guild
ed the aeroplane, while Carter show
cred bombs upon the hostile batteries
or scanned the landscape.
1t was little thing that changed
the situation completely so far as Os-
borne was concerned. He had been
engaged to Mary Lanning; the en-
gagement had been broken off owing
to a foolish quarrel. Desperate with
love and jealousy, but too proud to
own himself in the wrong, Osborne
had been eating his heart out with
the secret passions that consumed
him.
As the two men were preparing to

fell. In falling he dropped a package
from his pocket. Osborne stopped
and picked it up for him. 1t was a
bundle of papers, among them a pho
tograph The photograph was that
of Mary Lanning. Osborne knew that
Carter was engaged to be married.
The black rage that overcome him
made any reference to the matter
impossible. Osborne handed back
the package to Carter and got into
the aeroplane. The two assembled,
Osborne behind, Carter in front, his
glasses in his hand, ready to note the
disposition of the enemy's forces.
All the while that he was guiding
the machine the rage in Osborne's
heart was increasing. He meant to
kill Carter. That his friend had sup
planted him in Mary's affections was,

appeared a tiny speck which resolved
itself into a German monoplane.
Carter, ignorant of Osborne's pre-
occupation, looked back and laughed
ioyfully. He charged the magazine of
his Mauser carbine. Often aerial
duels had taken place, but usually
they were fruitless, for it is exceed
ingiy difficult to hit an adversary in
a machine moving at the rate of SO
miles an hour, when your own aero
plane is moving at similar speed

It has been noted here that since the
