gates to be the most successful

In behalf of the mayor, Repre-.

FIRST POST SERVICE CRUDE
That Between New York and Boston,
However, Was the Beginning
OF Great System.

The first regular postal service be-
tween two American cities was estab-
lished December 10. 1872, when the
government of New York inaugurated
regular monthly post to Boston.
Some thirty-three years before that
post Office had been opened in Bos-
ton at the house of Richard Fairbanks,
'for letters which are brought from
beyond the seas, or are to be sent
thither"
In 1857 the Virginia assembly pro-
vided for the rapid transmission of
official communications from planta-
ton TO plantation on penalty OF one
hogshead of tobacco for each default.
Four years after the establishment
of the New York-Boston monthly mail,
the colonial court of Massachusetts
founded an official postofice in Boston.
with John Hayward as postmaster.
The first parliamentary act for the
establishment of a postal system in
the English-American colonies was
passed in 1862. and a royal patent
was granted Thomas NeaIe. who was
authorized to transport letters at such
rates. as the planters should agree to
give. Neale began operations In Vir-
ginia, and the other colonies soon
joined in the movement. although the
system was very imperfect.

CHAPTER XIV.

When Irene Hardy pursued Dave
from the house the roar of his motor
car was already drowned in the hum
of the city streets. Hatless, she ran
the length of a full block; then, real
izing the futflity of such a chase, re-
turned with almost equal haste to
her home
what is the meaning of this?'' she
demanded of Coward. "Why did he
threaten 10 shoot and why did he
leave as he did? You know. Tell
me-"
Il am sure I wish 1 could tell you,
said Coward with all his accustomed
suavity. In truth Coward, having
somewhat recovered from his fright,
was in rather good spirits. Things
had gone better than he had dared to
hope. Eden was eliminated, for the
present, at any rate, and now was the
time to win Irene.
She stood before him, flushed and
vibrating and with flashing eyes.
You're lying. Coward" she said de-
Hberately. First you lied to him,
and now you lie to me. There can be
no other explanation. Where is that
do with it,
81 have it" said Coward, partly
carried of his feet by her violence.
Il viii keep it until you are a little
more reasonable. and perhaps a little
more respectful"

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly IN direct touch with
the public there is one preparation that
has been very successful N overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. IN
an interview on the subject, made the a.
tonishing statement that one reason why
20 many applicants for insurance are ne
jected Is because kidney trouble Is 30
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose appIica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease It Is on sale
at all drug stores IN bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first 70 test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer 4 Co, Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

swered. except you. But some way
you're different. I don't think OF you
as woman, you know; not really, In
way. 1 can't explain it, Edith, but
you're something more = something
better than all that"
He had sprung to his feet. Edith,
I can never thank you enough for
what you have said to me tonight
You have put some spirit back into
my body. I am going TO follow your
advice. There's a train east in two
hours and I'm going on it. Fortu-
nately my property, or most OF 1t, has
dissolved the way it came"
She moved toward him with extend
ed hand "Goodby, Dave" she said.
He held her hand fast in his. Good
by, Edith. can never forget can
never repay-an you have been. 1t
may sound foolish to you after all
have said, but 1 sometimes wonder
if-if had not met Irene-if-' He
paused and went hot with embarrass-
ment. What would she think of him:

She threw herself upon me. She would
have taken the bullet herself rather
than let it find him. That was what
that was what"
ST know, Dave" She had to hold
herself in check lest the tenderness
that welled within her, and would
shape words Of endearing sympathy
in her mind, should find utterance in
speech. 81 know, Dave" she said.
'aThe next thing, then. is to make
sure in your own mind whether you
ever really loved Irene Hardy. Be
cause if you loved Irene week ago
you love her tonight"
Edith he said, ''there is no way
OF explaining this. You can't under
stand. I know you have given your
self up to a life of service, and ]
honor you very much, and all that. but
there are some things you won't be
able to understand. You can't under
stand just how much L loved Irene.
