1000 STAR ROUTES
Train and interurhan Curtail-
ments Force Changes Gov
ering 30 Months.

The Post Office Department has been
forced to establish approximately 1000
star routes to handle mail in the past
80 months where declining passenger
revenue has brought about the discon-
tinuance of train and interurban
service
This was brought out In testimony
of w Irving Glover, Second Assistant
Postmaster General, before the House
subcommittee on appropriations con-
sidering the current Post Office appro-
priation bill.
In the fiscal year 1880 there were
440 such routes instituted; in 1881, 377,
while for the first six months of the
present fiscal year the total was 176.
Asked by Chairman Byrns why the
mail could not be handled by the busses
which Supplant the rail lines, Mr..
Glover said this was done where pos
isible, but that it was not always feasible,
Fadding that parcel post raised a bar
rier in this direction.
"A small bus. for instance will have
space for 10 or II people, and We will
have half a dozen sacks of mail, and
then We will come along with 20 or rs
sacks of parcel post, the contents run
ming all the way from sewing machines
to hat racks. The man who runs the
bus will lot bid: he is not interested
If he has to carry parcel post in his
bus" Glover explained
Then he added.
Baby chicks are an especial nuisance.
A lot of baby chicks are carried by
parcel post. and three or four of the
little ones die and the passengers i'm
mediately leave the bus"

than rail service. -..

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

WTHEN sudden, life-and-death
w crisis comes, you don't de-
eide how you are going to meet it.
What you are decides for you-the
things you've done in past years,
the dreams you've dreamed, the
kind of person you've permitted or
persuaded yourself to become. You
run true to form, and you can't help
yourself.
This theme runs through "Ithu-
riel's Hour" a crisp and cleverly
handled novel by Joanna Canaan.
The central character is Sir Glenn
ent Vyse, one of those cold-water-
bath English sportsmen. He sets
out to scale lonely peak in the
Himalayas, taking with him his
son and half dozen kindred spir-
it's, and finds it a tougher job than
he had expected.
But Sir Clement had been one of
Britain's empire builders in his
youth, and he'd never been able to
forget it.
The one thing he really believed
in was the virtue Of doing exactly
what he set out to do, regardless of
the cost.
SO, in the end, he scaled the
mountain and came back to Eng
land a famous explorer. But he
had to commit two murders to do it.
"Ithuriels Hour" is published by
Doubleday, Doran 81 Co., and is
priced at $3.50

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

A UNIT JESSIE was going away.
"A 1t was astonishing, but true.
Her sister, who lived in little town
in southern Illinois, had undergone
a rather serious operation and was
convalescing She wanted Aunt
Jessie to come.
I declare, it doesn't seem right"
Aunt Jessie kept saying over and
over. 1T seems a pity you couldn't
go and stay with the Millions in
stead Of having Rose come over
here.
But what with those cousins Of
theirs visiting from Des Moines, I
suppose we can't help It," She
sighed again, frowning, folded her
best Philippine nightgown and
wrapped her bedroom slippers in
tissue paper
II don't see why you make such
p fuss" Susan said capably, trying
to help and not succeeding very
well. You always say yourself that
Rose is so sensible, and, after all,
you won't be gone more than two
weeks"
Aunt Jessie kept grumbling that
II didn't seem right and 9he de-
elared she was at her wits end.
But she went, nevertheless.
This was on Sunday morning.
After Susan had seen her aunt off
ut the dismal old station she came
back TO house strangely empty
and quiet. She walked through the
prim, familiar rooms with the SEN
,sation of seeing them for the first
time, and when Rose came over to
1oin her at lazy, o'clock dinner
the kitchen rang with the sudden,
foolish, irresistible laughter of two
young things set free.
They used the best embroidered
bablecloth and the thin cups which
Susan's great-grandmother had
brought out with her from york
state" Aunt Jessie would have been
scandalized at the idea of this casual
enjoyment of her dearest treasures.
The tablecloth and china gener-
ally were reserved for wedding and
funerals, but since Susan saw no
chance of the one and hoped there
might be none for the other, she
made the most of this golden mo-
ment.
II was fun even to wash dishes
with Rose. Susan hung, weak with
laughter, over a kitchen chair as
her friend described with embel-
lishments the peculiarities of the
head of her department.
stop! Please don't tell me any
more" Susan begged, wiping her
eyes. Naturally, Rose, delighted at
this tribute to her powers as a
mimic. continued the performance.
AS Susan rinsed out the last clean
dish towel she glanced with aston
ishment at the clock.
1T can't be half past 81" she said,
appalled, They discussed the rela-

/ tive merits Of walk to the park
or trolley ride to one of the
beaches, but somehow reached no
decision.
They dawdled out to the back
porch, where, in delicious con-
fusion OF Sunday newspapers,
cracking taffy wrappers, and the
shouts Of the children next door,
they idled away the afternoon.
THAT was the beginning OF SUI
Il sans real holiday. OF course,
she would have no actual vacation
this year, since she only had started
to work, but it was enough for her
at the moment to feel the exquisite
Importance Of being mistress Of her
own domain.
There came, however, the newt
able day when Rose, always popu-
lar and in demand, telephoned that
she could not get home for dinner.
Il see. OF course you must go.
Have a good time and don't be too
late. No, I won't leave the door
open. You ring twice and I'll hear
you"
Susan's tone sounded cheerful but
she hung up the receiver with a
sense Of dismay. The long summer
evening stretched out emptily be-
fore her.
She stood up to find Jack Waring
twinkling at her.
What's the matter? Somebody
stand you up?" he bantered. Susan
shook her head.
THE girl who's staying with me
while my aunt is away has date, 4"
she explained, hoping her voice
didn't sound as forlorn as she felt.
The man smiled.
Come along with me-" he said
casually. "Some friends of mine are
driving out to a place on the Mil
waukee road, where they have grand
music. I'll take good care of you
and get you home early"
Susan hesitated There was no
denying 1t, the prospect was allur-
ing.
In addition, the mans tone and
manner were so quietly reassuring,
so nearly paternal that she felt
rather silly as she demurred.
Nonsense" Warning said briskly.
"You just say no as matter of
form without thinking. I can see
that"
His conjecture was so close to
the truth that Susan flushed. After
all, wasn't it foolish of her to go
home alone, eat an uninteresting
and solitary supper and moon about
waiting for Rose to return, when
friendship, gaiety, music and laugh
ter were hers for the stretching out
of her hand?
Irrationally she wondered if this
had been the way Eve felt about the
serpent. Then she smiled and
shrugged because the metaphor was
so far-fetched. Jack Warning, in
his conservative dark suit, perfectly
groomed and agreeably friendly, was
as little like a serpent as any one
could possibly imagine.
She was seized with an uncon-
strollable impulse. "I'n CO." she
said. I'D love to-"
He was so businesslike about it
all, putting her address down in
his small notebook, that Susan ban
ished as idiotic the suspicion that
for an instant there had been a
flash of triumph in his eyes.
He was to call for her at T. Much
as she disliked the idea of the
neighbors peering at his long, blue
roadster with it's shattering horn,

Susan shuddered. To be fast
in the little community where she
lived was to be quite beyond the
plae.
Although Chicago is metropolis,
in its neighborhood groups there
exists much of the spirit of the
average small town.
Susan's reverie was interrupted
by the sharp peal Of the door bell.
She caught up her gloves in furry
and for the hundredth time wished
she had proper summer evening
wrap instead of the wretched old
black coat from last season.
She opened the door with fingers
that shook little.

she insisted on this. For one thing
she remembered Aunt Jessie's dc
tum, IF a man can't cali for a girl
at her own home then say there's
something wrong.
These fly-by-nights who meet
boys on street corners will come
to no good"
It was curious that Susan should
think Of this and be so insistent
about it, because she had heard
Aunt Jessie say it so many times
and it always had irritated her.
CHE rushed homeward, impatient
- Of the many delays. The west
bound trolley seemed unusually
slow and jerky.
The conductor dropped the token
she handed him, passengers fumbled
their transfers, and at every cross
town line there were maddenir1g
waits.
Why she was so excited at the
prospect of an evening with Waring
Susan could not have exactly said.
Perhaps it was his reputation as
lady's man, cleaned from hints
dropped by Pierson.
Perhaps it was the memory Of the
dozen and one daily telephone calls
which he received. Most of the
voices were provocatively feminine.
Susan could not help hearing
Warnings part in some of these con-
versations. He called all of them
darling" She knew that and was
a little contemptuous of it, believ-
ing in her young arrogance (and
who shall say not rightly?) that the
charming English term of endear-
ment should be reserved for the
chosen one instead of scattered to
the crowd.
But ever since the day when the
man had shown such sympathetic
understanding of her position-the
day Mrs. Heath had so unmerci-
fully snubbed her-Susan had come
to take more charitable view of
him.
After all, she argued, men

ridges to make her head a dark,
shining, cap of undulation!
CHE was ready long before 7
- o'clock. While she waited she
began to feel the agitation OF a
diver about to take the great
plunge.
Her mind revolved in busy
wnirligigs. What If Aunt Jessie
should happen in without warning?
What If Mrs. Mcleod. who always
watched the goings and comings of
the neighborhood from behind her
starched curtains, should spread the
rumor that Susan Carey was be-
coming 'fast?"
