FEATHER OF POSTAGE STAMP"
Sir Rowland Hill Had to Fight Hard to Get Great Britain to Adopt
 Scheme He Advocated.

The power of postage stamp, in unjust taxation, In 1776, rent her American colonies from Great Britain. Viscount Hill, tough old British soldier, ancestor of Sir Rowland Hill. the great philanthropist and inventor of penny postage, was born on August II, 1772. His fighting qualities bus- tered again in his descendant, Sir Row. land. In 1885 his fearless originality and largeness of view flung itself into the question, How shall the poor send letters at l shilling and 4 pence (33 cents) each?" The government hos tile to him, he suffered insults. yet he steadily pressed his scheeme-the penny stamp. Every obstacle WAS thrown in his path. Parliament foam ed at the mouth, and declared he would ruin the country. and upset the throne. The official world guffuwed when he appeared before commission of post office inquiry to describe his inven- ton the penny stamp-"an adhesive postage stamp, bit of paper. just large enough to bear the imprint of her Majesty's bust, and covered at the back with glutinous wash"
 But the diplomatic ability, and the dare and push of his old ancestor in his veins. carried him through to tri- umph for the people. On January 10, 1S40, penny postage was established. The gross revenue rose from 100000 pounds to 100000 pounds. The busi- ness of the money order office multi piled fifty-two fold. He was buried in Westminster abbey, London--the high est honor @ grateful nation could ac- cord him.-Kansas City Journal.

a jiffy." And she was off at sharp trot down the trail along which she had so recently come in Dave Elden's wagon.
 The grips were duly found, and Irene congratulated herself that she and her father were in the habit of travelling with equipment for overnight. Arrived at the house, she deftly wrapped a bandage about her fathers injury and set to work at the preparation of SUD- per-a task not strange to her, as her mother considered 1t correct that her daughter should have working knowl- edge of kitchen affairs.
 Once during the evening she took a glance into the other room. It was even less inviting than Dave's, with walls bare of any adornment save dirty garments that hung from nails driven in the logs. On the rude bed lay an old man. She could see only part of his face-a gray mustache dropping over an open mouth and flord cheek turned to the glow of the setting sun. On chair beside the bed sat a bottle and the room reeked with the smell of breath charged with alcohol. She gently closed the door and busied her self through the long evening with re- forms in the kitchen and with little ministrations designed to relieve the sufferlngs of her father.
 The sun sank behind the Rockies and a darkness, soft and mystical and silent, stole up the valley, flushing even the noiseless day. The girl stood framed in the open window and the moonlight painted her face to the pur est ivory and toyed with the rich brown fastness of her hair and gleamed from single ornament at her throat. She was under a spell She was in new world, where were manhood, and silence, and the realities of being, and moonlight. and great gulfs of shadow between tho hills and large. friendly stars, and soft breezes pushing this way and that without definite direc. ton, and strange, quiet noises from out of the depths, and the incense of the ever%reens, and young horseman galloping into the night. And conven- tons had been swept away, and 1t was correct to live. and to live!
 The first flush of dawn was mellow Ing the eastern sky when the girl was awakened from uneasy sleep by sounds Tn the yard in front of the ranch house.
 The stars were still shining bright ly through the cold air. In the faint light she could distinguish team and

be borne; an unfair load laid on a boy who had done nothing to deserve this punishment. The mlseries associated with his percentage had gone far to make him sour and moody. Irene at first had thought him rude and gloomy; flashes of humor had modified that opinion, but she had not yet learned that his disposition was naturally buoyant one, weighed down by an en vironment which had made it soggy and unresponsive. In years to come she was to know what unguessed depths of character were to be re- vealed when that stOic nature was cross-sectioned by the blade of u keen and defiant passion.
 Mr. Elden promptly engaged the doc tor in conversation, and in few mo- ments had gleaned the main facts in connection with the accident and the father and daughter which 1t had brought so momentarily under his roof. He was quite sober now and his speech, although slovenly, was not in- delicate. He was still able to pay to woman that respect which curbs the coarseness of a tongue for years sub jected to little discipline.

From imperial times until today the Tiber has been a torment to all gov ernments. Caesar elaborated a sys- tenn that would have made Rome a rival of the London or New York of today, but his associates found the enterprise too gigantic. When dis. tant successor, the Emperor Claudus. came to the throne, he took up the scheme,and though he did not embark on it so extensively, he compelled the wonder of the time by the capacious waterway afforded. He was an engi- neer by taste. His name is associ. ated with the enormous aqueducts Aqua Claudius and An:o Novus. the wonder of modern engineers. He caused a harbor at Ostia to be dug.

 "Is that you. Dave?"
 And in a moment she wondered how she had dared call him Dave. But she soon had other cause for wonder, for the boy replied from near beside her. In that tone of friendly confidence which springs so spontaneously in the darkness:
 Yes, Reenie, and the doctor too We'll have Mir. Hardy fixed up in no time. How did he stand the night?"
 How dared he call her Reenie? A flush of resentment rose in her breast, only to be submerged in the sudden re- membrance that she had first called him Dave. That surely gave him the right to address her as he had done. Then she remembered she was in the ranch country, in the foothills, where the conventions-the conventions she hated-had not yet become rooted, and where the souls of men and women stood bare in the clear light of frank acceptance of the fact. It would be dle-dangerous-to trife with this boy by any attempt at concealment or de ceptiOn.
