| tons, was perambulating the street
one day when. she came to Il dwelling
with red flag ut the door. She went
in and bought a small library of books
1t was brought home and added to our
family collection. My wife took the
books one by one and busted them ALL
giving each Il cursory examination. Be
tween the leaves Of one of them was u
letter, sealed and stamped. addressed
to James Overaker, in neighboring
city, which had not been mailed.
| was appealed to for an opinion as
to what should be done with it | ad-
vised that it be taken to the house
from which it had come This was
done. but the place was deserted. |
then advised sending 1t on its way
through the mail, but since 1t might
be lost | wrote our address on the
upper left hand corner. In week 1t

on making a dead letter office of our
selves, opening the letter. learning the
address of the sender and returning
it to her. say her, for the address
had been written in feminine hand.
Before could stop my wife she had
opened and read the letter.
THE bruter' she exclaimed, handing
the letter to me.
The writer was evidently young
girl who had had spat with her
lover and either had sent him off or he
had left her of his own accord. She
wrote that she was heartbroken over
their separation and had decided to
ask him to come back to her and
make it up" though sue-whoever
that might be-had said she would be
a fool to do so.

Sue is the mischief maker in this case.

BILE in the first place"
what makes you think that?' asked
my wife.
my most cogent reason is your find
ing the letter in the book. Evidently
the writer was bent on posting it, but
was unable to withstand Sues intiu
ence. 1t was laid away for considera-
ton as to whether it should be mailed
or not-and never mailed.
~ am going to send it back to the
poor girl and advise her to send 1t. No
man could resist such an appeal"

The letter was inclosed in an envel-
ope addressed to the location given,
which was the house where the books
had been bought, with statement of |
its finding. inferred that the post
master had been advised of the new |
address and would deliver the letter &C. |
I was right. In due time
letter came from the writer of the one
thanking me for sending it.
Her name was Winifred, and this time
she signed her full name. Winifred

greet having sent 1t, and the letter had
been forgotten.
