That y It waa, because when person ta ..mfortably aettlad In a cool him .och It la vary provoking to have to --at ap and look for little brother. Ami started off through the tardea, .aat the barn, calling In her clear, ringing voice: "CXarl-oel Charl-ee!" Over the Balds aha went, the hot nil making her golden hair ahine like the dandelions In' the grass. Old Amos was peacefully Erasing at the edge of :iie meadow and Ann stopped to speak to hi in. Its was a little old donkey, who had belonged ta the biggest brother when the bigs brother was little. Now Amos, sM and Cray, his ways more set tliaa vr, waa being pensioned on the farm. He was toe old to work, too atuaboin for the children to drive, and too runsy and nice to be sent away. Ss there he stayed, brewing loose In the clover field and trotting home to his stall In the barn when he tired of the field. Sometimes he would follow the family about when they worked or walked aronnd the farm poking hts nose Into everything sad waggtng hts ridiculous long ears knowingly. "Amos." said Ann. "I wish Charlie had your common sense, then he'd stsy where he was put." Then through the patch of pine - woods she went, calling and calling. her crossness gradually beginning to tarn to worry. "He's gone farther than usual." she aaid to herself, with, a perplexed, anxious frown. "Ho always answers when ho hears me. Where can he be? Oh. Chsri-ee!" No reply. Charlie was only five but he was a hold restless little fellow. Ann loved him dearly though he tried her at times, especially when he went oft or when ha bragged which, she thought, ho did s good de&L She paused- to think. Where had he gone? Conld ha had been kidnapped? Ann turned pale at the very thought. She hastened from'the woods to the road, across to the other side where there was a grassy bank snd a Illy pond. "Could ho have fallen Into the , pond?" she thought, looking anxious ly 'Into the water. "Oh dear! Oh desrr- There was a high dam at one end of the pond, over which tho water sometimes poured. Now It was high I and dry so Ann lightly ran over It to j tho other side where there were more woods. "Charl-ee!" Te-e-a" the welcome answer came. "Ttp'thls wsv. Annie. I foun" a bean. Ufut cave!" Up the rocky bank scrambled Ann, biting- her lips to keep from saying something sharp. "Look! See?" cried Charlie with Pride, as he stood In the entrance of a cave, which It seemed had been quite covered tip with a mass of vines and ousnes. "Do le's exp'ore!" Ann thought that she and the biggest brother had explored everything around the place but she had never before seen this cave. Sho ducked her hend, holding tho vines aside and followed her brother into the darkness inside. . "I've got a stick!" cried Charlie boastfully. "No tigers better come around!" Ann felt like saying: "Don't brag so!" but she didn't which was to her credit. They walked cautiously along feel. Ing their way as they went.1 The cave seemed to be getting wider and wider. Charlie said; "This. is my cave. seeTj much mora fun." "I think so too," Charlie a treed hastily. They turned around and began to walk back the way they had coma, but the funny part of It was that there was not a ray of light In the cave en trance. Just as Ann waa wondsnn about this her eyes made out a dim form standing Just Inside the cave, stopping up the entrance. She squeezed Charlie's little kand and made him stop. They stood pressed against the wall and listened. Heavy puffy breathing filled the dir. then they heard a stealthy step. "Oh. Charlie!" whispered Ann. "It's a-a- wild beast!" She did not kjiow what to do. She was never so scared In hrr life, yet sho was no coward. "We'll turn snd go on through the cave," she whis pered, ."there may be another opening in the back somewhere." But Charlie held back as she pulled his hand.- - - S "v m0 wW'' an r M 17- a. . - ,.-v s r, ro" - -r 3 - 5i V $t b s X til ' t i 5! i 1 'They Stood Pressed Against The Wart And Listened.

"Let's go out now and some other time we'll roine and ex plore with a lantprn. That would he "I gat a big stick!" he whispered. Ann had to drug htm by force. She raced forward pulling her little broth er alon? quite rfckiensly and as she went she heard a pit-pat-pit-pat be hind her, a sound of something follow in? them. They went on for ever o fur It 9pmivl to the frightened chil dren when at last they caught a glim mer of light borora them. There was another opening! Ann hurried her steps and went so fast she stumbled snd fell fist, but sho was up again In a minute racing toward the light They reached It. A very smslj opening It was In the rock. Ann looked through and saw the old stone quarry far be low. . "Come, dear," she said. "You squeeze through first." . But, no. ha wouldn't. ."Ladles first:" ho Insisted stoutly. There waa ad time la areue with him for the sounds behind were com ing nearer and nearer. Ann threw herself on her hands and Knees and tried to wiggle through the opening minute mat it was too small. No matter how she struggled, snd she did struggle fiercely until the was bruised and her clothes torn, the hole was Just too small. She backed into the cave. "1 can't get through," she panted. "Ton. can. Tou must! you shall! You can run and call somebody." She seised her brother but he slipped from her grasp like a slipper) "I Isn't gonna leave you!"" he shout ed. "I'm Isn't 'frald of ol' tigers! Hey. you there!" His voice rose shrilly, and to Ana's dismay he made a dash Into tho cave, waving his stick "Git outa here!" - Tbey heard a wild scramble, then the cave re-echoed with an awful roar. It was perfectly deafening. Ann put ker fingers In her ears. But she waf laughing now, and so was Charlie for they recognized that raucous voice. "Amos!" shouted Ann. "You fol lowed me . VOU wretch. ttnmf t now and let us get out." i "It's a good thing he yelled," said Charlie. "I thought he waa a tiger and I was goln' to up an' give bint a terrible crack!" "You suroly were," replied Ann. "1 don't believe you're afraid, of anything, pharlle." '....' .

THE STAMP ON YOUR LETTER CO 11 y DID our forefathers write L-xeeedinsIy small upon ail oc casions? A hundred years ago It cost twenty-five cents to -viio: a letter more than 450 miles and a Idler was defined as a single sheet of pper. In order to leave out noth ing of iioportr nee. fin penmanship as necessary. . . In those days no stamps were used If the letter would travel under thirty miles, the sender paid the postmaster i cents aad that official marked th letter wlih a word or symbol indicat :ng compliance with the rules. Ten eenls was chsrged for a distance less than eighty miles, but more than 'hirty. The sender bad to take his missive to a posicftVe and lhe recipient had to go lo his postofflce and ruli for bis mail, Js'ebody thought of cur present delivery .system. ' Stamps were first l&sued In 1447; on the third of March of -that year Con gress authorised five-cent and ten-cent denominations. - JIalf-ounce letters were transported three hundred rnllex or less for five cents or farther than this limit for the sum of ten cents, t A new rato went into effect in 1811 Letters were carried ss far as three thousand miles for three cents or far ther for six cents. Twelve years later the regulations were amended so that a message could be sent to any point within the United Sates for three cents, snd in USJ this amount was reduced to two. During the administration 'of Abra ham L.lneolti i he system of free de livery was int roductrd into our largeMi cities. It grew uj ,'rvw, Tfteo some- : Hung like a score of years ago. It -was extended to farmers and other rl dents of the country. And now letters ars dropped right at your door. when tha nation waa new, a aisn astride a boras carried your letter to its destination; or, perhaps, a stage coach transported it. These methods were displaced, by the ateum-drtven train wlih special cars for the sorting snd handling of tha mall. . Today the aulo plays a prominent part and man made bird of tha air ars shouldering a bit of the burden. Oreat atrldss have bean made In the posts) service.
