Of them was the postmaster himself.
In the first place, the simultaneous ar
rival of a 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, tool" groaned
Dan. He had a conscience, Dan had,
and his heart was in his work.
1t 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 string-tied boxes and bundles.
They were invested with something
besides the statute-guarded sanctity
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 of Christmastide.
And to think. just because Of this
plaguey rheumatism Of his. many OF
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! So
Danny groaned.
There said Danny at last, 10 the
Office clerk who was TO attempt the
task. 'you stow the packages In just
that order and do your best 10 find
where they 20. Old DeacOnll take
you over the route all right IL you give
him his head. He knows II Ike a

So the Christmas mail was finally
started out over Route No. 2, Deacon
turned an inquIring eye on the new
man. as much as II 10 ask what was
the matter with Danny.
