Being once! the tuccmful applicants fornposition in the government service, I had been mlgned toduty in the postoilice department, with headquarters in Chicago and shoundlesa territory for operations. Tlucwn no telling where I would he aenttolook into a postofiicc robberyora deprcdatimmamailcar,andlhadoneor two experiences which were entirely too thrilling for the salary paid men in this line of work. The position is very trying, and one has to keep his wits about him, so I think the stipend should he better. But enough of this I did not start out to preach on the poorly rated economy of the government, rather to tell some of the things me has to go through fora little more than a respectable living. Forycara gangs of swindlers had been reaping rich harvests in various parts of the artistry through the mails. It would have been impomible for them to become so farrcaching but for the postal service, and their advertiscmmts brought dollars in almost countlcm numbers from every land In which our language is spoken. Whethaornot it was the same gang we could never determine, and theirmnnner of operation waesnch astobamcthsnppoint— euof each successive administration who started out to land the culpritsin jail.

The winter before advertisements had been inserted in many papers and magn- aines, telling what rich gifts is firm would make to those who subscribed for its pub- lication. Imus ofmoncy without security and at a nominal rate of interest which would bankrupt even an English million- airs, watches, diamonds and almost every thing attractive were promised for almost nothing, The concern opened up for hnsi» on in a thriving inland city some time about the first of the year, and the mail be- gan to come in such quantities that the largest manufacturing establishments in the place poled beneath the enterprise asfar no correspondence was concerned. Never had the registry department in that city turned over such a number of let- ten in so shot-t1 time to any concern, and the local pootoffice authorities were at a lo- to understand how the new [melodic-l but gained such a foothold The reason hogan to dawn very norm, however,andthia rush of letters hadnnt hemgolngou formorcthanamontbwhen complaints began to come to the postman tar. Persons in distant states wrote to in- quirewhataortof a firm itwaaamlsald that they had forwarded a certain amount with theunderctanding that they were to receive a premium, but had never even re oclv‘cd an acknowledgment of the money ecu Naturally tines letters came to us, and I was one of the two men detailed to find out the true luwanlnesscf the scheme. The placewaa not at a gmat dhttance,and it did not take on long to rcpairto it. When we arrived there we stopped ata molest Haviuglesrned that the so poled [Injector bad a ranch in the west I :a- pleased when he reached Dream. and later two or three letters came from the same place in Wyo- ming.

I paid no attention to the inci— dent, but if I had thought oi the wayhc had looked _at me I would not have M to take the trip which I did nextday. The proprietor had told moths ranch I wusafterwas three hoursduewcst. and I started off early in the morning. Theex- citement seemed to make the ride «on shorter, and when l was pulled up before the house on u pretentious ranch scarcely an hour set-med to have elapsed. I w. welcomed by a bright looking young man. and asked if Mr. Soandoso lived there. “Yes," was the response, “but he hadcme tell you that he did not desire an interview this morning." “I don't understand you," I replied in amazement, for I could not see how he had expected anybody at such a time in the year. “Oh, yes, you do,” come thcready answer. “You'reagovcrnment detective and have come all the way from the east to get Mr. Blank. He left before daybreak for the mountains and will be away on a hunting trip for some weeks. lie also suggested that your health would not sufler any should you fail to come back when her» turns, as he has no idea of accompanying anybody east.” . I was dumfouudcd and did not know how to answer the man who so coolly cou- frontcd me. My aircastle had been shut tered, and I then felt. that I would rather turn cowboy than to go back to thooifioc with the story I would have to tell. But the young man in charge of the ranch was not at all put out. On the contrary, he seemed to quietly enjoy my discomllture, although I will give him credit for out laughing outright. Ileinsisted on my en- tering the home and had my horsostnbled. It was a very comfortable place, and there were more signs of civilization in its midst than in most of the ranches which I have visited. We talked onafl’airsin the east, on which be was well [ms-ted through reading several of the leading papers, and he would not listen to my going until ufierdinner. Then he shook handsas I prepared to mount. and rent the same man back with me who had left the station on my arrival the night be fore. I saw through it then; they were ex- pecting wmebody would be foolish enough to attempt to serve pera or make an an rest on the ranch, kept a guard at the station to apprise the man of the appear once of any suspicious looking strangers. The ride was a dreary one, and I guess my companion thought me mute, for I spoke very few words. Tbenigbt at Bullet Hold station was very didercnt from the eve.

I had slept but by starts and jerks, so anxious was I for the marrow. but on the night after I slept the sleep of a man who is tlrcd, sick at heart, and who has made a good start in drowning his we row in the beverage of thc far west.
