Pennsylvania Avenue Business
Men Want G. A. R. Post Of
flee Made Permanent.
BRANCH FOR VETERANS
PROVED ITS USEFULNESS
First Time Since New Building Was
Occupied One Merchant Could
Get Stamps He Wanted.

That the special branch post office
which has been established on the north
side Of Pennsylvania avenue between
18th and 18th streets northwest for the
benefit of G. A. r. encampment visitors
also has been of great assistance to
merchants and other business men was
indicated yesterday when inquiry was
made at business places along the Ave-
nue. and on streets adjacent thereto.
The last week has been the first time
the Pennsylvania avenue section has
had an office devoted exclusively to the
handling of postal matters since the
city post office was moved to its new
quarters adjoining the Union station
and the stamp. registry and parcel post
windows in the Post Office Department
building were closed. Business men
whose places are located on Pennsyl-
vania avenue and nearby streets have
had to depend on the contract stations
located in drug stores. Inability OF
these contract stations to handle postal
business at rush hours without causing
great delays to their patrons and their
failure to carry adequate supplies OF
stamps and postals has been the sub
ject of much complaint.
Many Pennsylvania avenue merchants
and business men have patronized the
special G. A. r. post once during It's
6ne week of existence and have found
the service supplied there of special
convenience. These business men have
started a movement looking to the per-
manent establishment of branch
post office there or at some other loca-
tion equally desirable. substation
Of this character. they say, is needed
imperativeIy to handle the postal bust
ness of the downtown section
Large Purchase Of Stamps Made.
That the special G. A r. post office
has carried a large supply Of stamps
during the few days it has been in ex-
fstence is evidenced by the fact that
one Pennsylvania avenue business man
yesterday purchased 10000 2-cent
stamps there without experiencing any
difficulty. This was Samuel Heller,
manager of the Castelberg National
Jewelry Company Of 935 Pennsylvania
avenue.
at was the first time since the re-
moval of the city post office that
have been able to buy such a quantity
Of stamps without either send ng di-
rectly to the main post office or having
one Of the contract stations notify the
main office that / wanted a supply OF
that size. 1 never have been able to
get rs many stamps at any one time
I certainly hope that the G. A. r. sta
ton will be made permanent or at least
retained until postal facilities are re-
stored in the Post Office Department
building This Is what the downtown
business men want Within the build

the great postal system of the country

"If you'd only marry me and settle the

The two old collectors admitted Zudora and
Storm, and they began Immediately to ply her
with questions, many of which seemed odd to
Storm. No; Zudora admitted that as yet she
had not picked up any clew. Had she been
to the pawnshops? No. Had she shown the
photograph to any one yet? She had not
shown it to a living soul. And out of the
corner of her eye she noted the look of sur
prise which was exchanged between the two.
This glance, swift as it was, gave her a clew,
the missing diamond was concerned She at
once determined to say nothing about the
burning of the photograph or the hat.
You have lost your hat?" said one.
"The wind carried it of just as we were
crossing the bridge. We tried to fish for 1t,
but the current was too strong"
There was no glance between the brothers
after this statement They knew that she was
not telling the truth
Let us get away from here whispered
Storm when he had the opportunity to do so
unobserved.
"Why?"
"I don't quite like the looks of your
clients"

Won't you have some teo?"
"No, thanks Good-day until tomorrow"
Storm and Zudora left the house.
What do you propose to do?" John asked
rather impatieutly.

Here comes farmer with a hay wagon.
Let's ride into the village
Zudora agreed with a laugh. John had a
singular idea, but he did not confde 1t to
Zudora. So they stopped the farmer, and he
entered into the joke readily enough. City
folk were always wanting to take a joy ride
on the hay rack. No sooner did he start on
ogoin than flames burst forth from the hay.
And 1t was dangerous game, the effort to
put it out The farmer accused Storm of
having dropped his cigorot, As he knew argu-
ment would be of no avail he gave the old
man s. bill.

She retired to her Boudoir and Hassam

The following day Zudora sought Storm.
Would he go with her? He certainly would,
despite appearances. The word rather
amused her. She was serenely Indifferent as

The general run of them eyed her suspicious
ly, perhaps just because she possessed beauty
and attractiveness. 1t was only idle people

their own business. At any rate, the place
was such short jaunt out of town that they
could return each evening.
AS John knew little or nothing about chem

two were on the way to the old house when

Storm tore the hat from her head and

Zudora shook her head dazedly. She had
paid $50 for that hat, she thought with grim
humor
"Let us go back home" he urged.

hobby, true collector always wants
photograph of each of his treasures, partly
to identify it aud partly to exhibit in testi-

one Of the old men, "In room that to
