The efficiency of the United States
mail is SO taken for granted that
very few people really know what
takes place between the time a
stamped envelope is deposited in one
of those familiar olive-colored boxes
and when it is received by the ad-
dressee.
Strange as it may seem, only a
small proportion of out-of-town mail
is actually sorted in the marble
palaces whose portals are inscribed,

died once in New York and once
in San Marine. In the meanwhile,
however, that envelope may be sort
ed half dozen times in order to
speed it on its way in the shortest
possible time.
For some unknown reason the
United States post office rarely
mentions the RPO (Railway Post
Ohice) and its important part in the
distribution of mail, hence very few
people realize that without it our
present postal service would be an
impossibility.
In this country the use Of the rail-
way postal car dates to 1861, when
John L. Scripps, then postmaster Of
Chicago, suggested that the mail

foreign extraction, I am thankful
to say. Many of them Irish," she
added.
The Resident smiled: Eyes, Mrs.
Harding. I confess to being Irish.
So look out! I will take no nonsense
from you. If necessary, I will con-
front you with Captain Norwood and
let him demand that letter."
"What if destroy it,"

about my responsibility in connec-

well connected, and popular. He is
the younger brother of the very dis

A few years of experimenting
proved the merits of this idea and
the use of railway post offices be-
came a reality.
Originally the post office cars were
used only on the main lines of
long-run railroads, but today near
ly every line in the country has
service to form a network encom-
passing every town and hamlet of
our nation.
Within these rolling post offices
efficient crews of clerks not only
break down mail shipments into
section and state groups, but also
sort it for cities and then 60 further

a given city.

Norwood went the round of the

them. They had already received
orders from Sergeant Stoddart. Nor
wood repeated the instructions:
''There are thieves in the neigh
borhood, and there is a rumor that
there might be a raid on the camp.

shouted.

Norwood walked ahead into the

Norwood stood in deep black
shadow waiting for him. O'Leary
ran up with lantern at the end
of a very long stick-at least ten
feet long.
"Give that to me. Next shot they
fire, raise yell that I'm hit"
"Okay. l get you. You're a cred
it to your Uncle Moses"
Norwood held the pole extended
toward his left to its limit. He
walked forward. The lantern danced
as if it were in someone's hand. A
bullet spat out of the darkness. Nor
wood fell. O'Leary shouted at the
top of his lungs:
'Stoddart! Hi there, Stoddart!
They've shot the Captain! He's
dead! They hit him through the
hearth"
Stoddart and four men came hur-
rying. Norwood whispered:
Pick me up. Carry me into the
tent feet first
'Mournful and solemn" O'Leary
added.

light. Spread a sheet over me-"
said Norwood.

O'Leary.
So they carried Norwood to the

Norwood sat up. He stared at
O'Leary. O'Leary held his tongue.
He watched, waited. Norwood didn't
speak for sixty seconds. Then:
"O'Leary, there is just one chance
in fifty that Prince Rundhia is on
the wall, by that kiosk, where he
was last night"
It almost seemed as if the nigh.
knew that Norwood had made up
his mind. He was riding a fresh
horse, but he didn't hurry. He was
followed by mounted sails, and by
O'Leary on another horse. The
horses, the sails and O'Leary be-
haved like snakes tail. They fol-
lowed the head without asking ques-
tons. Norwood gave no orders. He
didn't tell O'Leary what he intended
to do. But as they came near the
palace garden wall, he reduced the
speed little and O'Leary, without
needing to be told to do it, went
scouting ahead
O'Leary, on the other side, made
plenty of noise. He made signal,
pointing with his right arm, as he
broke from shadow into moonlight.
There was nothing mysterious about
his signal; he simply pointed to the
swinging tendril of a baobab. It
overhung the wall in search of earth
in which to take root. 1t looked
like a python, swaying slightly in
the faint evening breeze.
