Acting Chief Neal, tho flreboat, En

ical 3, responding to an nlarm from
box No. 247, at Holladay avonuo and
Lafraboo, found a postal card for
thorn to mall, not a man Bworo. 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

run of tho sort the department has
had In eight months. People nearby
told the firemen that a woman mailed
