Only tho' horses looked disgusted. Acting Chief Neal and tho chemi cal company, coming on a gallop, reached tho box first. "Well, I swan," Neal was moved to remark softly when ho saw behind the open door, stuck in tho dollcato apparatus of telegraph wires, and sounders, a Bouvenlr postal. It had a picture of Mt. Hood on It. Tho chief detailed a man to go to tho nearest mailbox and seo tho card safely on Us way. Ho couldn't find who loft It, for tho missive, was signed simply, "Your own loving Mary." Under such con ditions, what gallant chief could have done otherwise? It is not unusual for anxious let torwrlters to mistake fire-alarm boxes for Undo Sam's mail recep tacles, but yesterday's was tho first run of tho sort the department has had In eight months. People nearby told the firemen that a woman mailed tho letter. o The old remedies are the best.
