Two veteran mailme-n of our dis- trict have recently completed 85 years of public service. They arc Nelson Williams and Seymour Scott. That's n long record. and a rather notable achievement, when one considers the bad winters we have experienced.

“You d-id what?" he asked. "I threw them 1n the river. On my honor." And then she asked, “Are you angry?"

He looked at the pale face, once more a little strained. Before he considered anything else he thought. How she must dislike her uncle. And remembering that gentleman's eyes, the sanguine face, it seemed to him that she might have reason. He himself, didn't care for Mr .and Mrs. Fosdyke. As to the bracelets, they were in themselve s nothing to him. Even after the theft of Stone pearls. he could still deck his young wife in such Jewels as would adorn her. But to have thmwn them away—-that had been the wildest act. No other girl whom h; knew could have done it.

He took a tum up and down the room, "1 suppose you know.” he asked, "that they were worth sev- eral hundred pounds?"
