whinny. There was reason for Dea-
cons restlessness. More than an hour
ago he should have been on the move,
but here he was still waiting in the
post Office shed, and never a sign or
word from his driver. Deacon, you
understand, pulled Uncle Sans mail
over Rural Free Delivery Route No. 2,
Havertown P. O. He had pulled it for
three years, and he was fairly well
versed in the business. At any rate,
he knew that it was past his starting
time. Long before had the sway
back sorrel on Route No. taken the
road The pert little bay mare on No.
had followed a few minutes later.
Yet here was Deacon, with the heayi-
est and longest route of them all, still
standing idly in the shed.
Inside, in the Havertown post Office,
were a number Of men whose frame Of
mind was worse than Deacon's. One

But Deacon Would Not Turn.

Of them was the postmaster himself.
In the first place, the simultaneous ar-
rival of three-foot snowfall and the
bulk of the Christmas mail was bad
enough. Next came the disabling Of
one of his best drivers, and the discov-
cry that two substitute carriers were
out of town. Well, the postmaster
said things Dan Sweeney, driver Of
No. 2 route; was disabled beyond
doubt. There he was sitting on a
pile of mail sacks, his back against a
steam radiator, his face white and
drawn out Of shape by twinges of
rheumatism. He had dragged himself
down to the Office, but that was all
he could do. Now, although he should
have been sent back to bed, he was
sorting the mail for his route.
'The Christmas mail, too!' groaned
Dan. He had conscience, Dan had,
and his heart was in his work.
It was sight of the great pile Of
packages which made Danny groan
deepest. They were more to him than
simply so much fourth-class matter,
these struggled boxes and bundles.
They were invested with something
besides the statute-guarded sancttty
of the United States mail, for which
Dan Sweeney had no light respect. He
knew that each one Of them carried
not only merchandise but a subtle
freightage Of the goodly holiday spirit,
the joyful sentiment CT Christmastide.
And to think, just because of this
plaguey rheumatism sof his, many sof
them might not be delivered until the
holiday was over with, when they
would come tagging along, as stale as
firecrackers on the 9th of July IL So
Danny groaned. - - 90 -.
