"Anythu.ir f..r ine, Kd?' asked Irwin
"If there is you'll get it in your box,
replied the postman.
"I in poin.tr out or town; on my way

! eonimoilation if you would fdve it to

Otherwise it'll have to he forwarded."
J'.ntlett pnileil mi. Irwiu drew near
him. arul while the funnel- looked over
a handful of letters the latter leaned
forward to see the addresses himself.
"inere it Is;" lio exclaimed, making
a prah fi,r one of the letters, and hi
interference resufJcd in the spilling of
some twenty of tlieni .on the ground.
while a dozen more fell within the bug-
fry. Irwin apologized, and. picking up
the letters scattered noar his feet, he
handed them to Hart let t.
"Did you take the letter addressed to
jotiV" asked tlie hitter.
".No. It wasn't l"r me. I thought it
was, but I Avas mistaken."
"Now, see here, "eorge Irwin, here
after when I'm handling my mail you
keep vour bands oft' it. The next time
you do a thing like that I'll have you
forested for Interfering with a govern
ment etlicer in the discharge of his du
ties." "Sorry. Kd. I didn't intend to inter
fere." Hart let t drove on without making a
reply. At Deacon Warder's box .he
found Susie Warder, tin; deacon's
daughter, aged eighteen, waiting for
him. There was an intensity in .her
face that indicated anxious exieeta
tion. Hartlett had often delivered let
ters to her addressed in a mnscnlliie
hand, and by the way she hugged
tliem t her heart and ran into the
house with them he had surmised that
they, came from a loer. Instead of
putting the mail in the box he hand
ed it to her. She looked over it and
her face fell.
"Nothing more?" she asked, looking
up at the postman despairingly. ,
"That's all. Sorry I haven't one for
you today. Miss Warder. Perhaps I'll
bring you one tomorrow."
"No. you won't," replied the chi, tears
starting to her eyes. "If it was to
come at all it would have come today."
Hartlett sighed sympathetically. Dur
ing the rest of his trip over hLs route
his mind was more on Susie "Warder
than on the mail. Her words "If it
was to eome at all it would have come
today" remained with him, and he
couldn't banish- them. What did they
mean? That the expected letter was
to have been from the lover he could
not doubt.
Our minds now roll smoothly from
one train of thought to another, and
again they jump aps. And yet there
is doubtless a connection between the
two sides of the gap b-o Subtle for us
to distinguish. Itartlett's mind turned
from Susie's disappointment to rieorge
Irwin's grabbing at the letters. Then
he made a mental jump, for there was
nr connection between his two
thoughts. Susie's letter didn't come,
and pet-haps George Irwin when he
Iicked up thos that fell on the ground
retained one for Susie.
Though he kyew of no reason for
siieh an act, he couldn't dismiss the
suggestion. It occurred to him to turn
back and charge Irwin with pmloining
a letter, 1 rusting to have struck the
correct Iheorv. lie looked at his
.watch. It was 4 o'clock. He had net
tleorge about .'!:2i". There was no train
either wa' out of the station between
'.'.:'2t and 4:4). Ho remembered to
have heard the whistle of the 3:25
train w hile he was talking with George.
The man had doubtless made his state
ment about going out of town falsely
and for a pretext to steal the letter.
When Hartlett reached those' induc
tive conclusions he had finished his de
livery. He drove rapidly back to the vil
lage, occasionally a.-king one he met if
he had seen George Irwin. Presently he
found a man who had seen him and
gave tlie postman a clew to And him.
Hartlett found his man on u road
w here no one else was about.
"Give me the letter you took!" he
said resolutely and coniidently.

The Major In Difficulties.
Mr. Stevens grabbed the major and
shoved him against the wall, but did
not disconcert him. It was only ten
.seconds before he went on:
"I was making out the papers before
you came in, but found that I lacked
the sum necessary to file them with

Mr. Stevens banged the major's head

T
rViil Discuss Bcrnicious Con
i ditions in Publjc Schools of
the United States.
THE most important health con
ference'that has ever been held
in the United States will take
place in Huffalo, X. Y., Aug.
25-30, when the fourth international
congress on school hygiene' meets in
that city. Jt Is the most important
conference, because educational ex
ports have come to realize that the
most potent factor in dealing with the
neaitn problems of any nation is the
education of the people to know and
understand the laws and influences
which govern individual and public
health.
Many important public health and
hygiene conferences have been held in
this country and abroad, but hereto
fore all these have dealt principally
with adult or infant life. When the
individual has leached adult life he
has attained an age when health edu- j
cation has to be forced upon him, while
in infant life the Individual is too
young to receive a lasting impression.
It is with the school children, then,
that the most effective and lasting
work can be accomplished in dealing
with the health problems that confront
humanity. Therefore the assertion that
the fourth international congress on
school hygiene will be the most im
portant health conference ever hold in
the United States will find few to con
tradict it. .
The Importance Realized.
The congress is being conducted un
der the patronage of the president of
the .United States and is being support
ed by practically e very civilized govern
ment in the universe, showing that at'
last we are coming to recognize the
value of having a proper foundation
upon which to build and support the
health of the individuals who form or
support the various governments.
For the period of time within the
recollection of any one living at the
present date the .health of the armies
and navies of the world has been pre
sided over by the most effective corps
of medical and liealth experts possible
to secure'. Jt is but recently, however,
that the governments of the world
have begun to learn that those who
are to bo their future citizens should
receive the same care and considera
tion that is given the armies and na
vies. The health of the school-child Is, In
deed, far more important to the nation
than that of its lighting men in the
next generation at least.
Many governments, like our own.
make it compulsory for children with
in certain age limits to attend school,
but until the recent past little thought
or consideration was given to the con
ditions which surround the public
school children of the country from
the health standpoint, except tiat
which was exerted I iy the boards, of
Hlucation In the different communi
ties. Tuberculosis In Schools.
It is only when such startling reports
as the following from the Michigan
state board of health becoiae current
that the governments, municipal, state
and national, become active in dealing
with these problems:
"in making a study of the occupa
tional relation to tuberculosis one can
not help being impressed by the fre
quent occurrence of tuberculosis among

schoolteachers. A careful study of tN
following table will give a very, com
prchonsive idea of the situation:
"Over a period of years .VJ. 1 per cent
.of the deaths among schoolteachers
between the ages of twenty-live and
thirty-four were due to tuberculosis,
while only 2o.S per cent of the deaths
among all persons in Michigan be
tween the ages of twenty-five and thirty-four
were due to this disease.
Among schoolteachers of all ages 27.0
per cent of the deaths were due to
tuberculosis, while among all persons
of all ages only y.-l per cent were duo
to this disease.
"This is a matter which should en
gage the active attention not only of
teachers, but of the patrons of the pub
lic schools. It would appear from our
data that the conditions under which
public school teachers labor are condu
cive to tuberculosis. This is, in a great
many instances, an easily established
fact. Now, this ought not to be. Thu
schoolteacher, who should be consider
ed as the most valuable factor in tlm
establishment of an efficient citizen
ship, should not be required to worts
under conditions which are relatively
more conducive to the -occurrence of
tuberculosis than other professions.
Precautions Necessary.
Extreme precautions should be ol
served by school commissioners and
boards of education to prevent teach
ers who are affected with tuberculosis
from continuing in the service. This
should be done in the interest of the
teacher and in the interest of the pu
pils. The solution of the situation,
however, should not rest simply with
the attempt to prevent infected teach
ers from being employed. The school
officials and the patrons of our public
schools should be united in an effort to
remedy the existing conditions, that
the public schoolroom can in no sense
lie considered as a' place In which one's
health is subjected to unfavorable
conditions. A more active interest In
considering the principles of proper
construction, warming, ventilating and
lighting of school buildings will go a
great way toward remedying t,his sit
uation." "Mouth Hygiene Instruction.
The above Is one of the strongest
pleas for teaching mouth hygiene that
has been published by the health de
partment of any state In the' Union.
The writer has also contended that the.
public schoolteachers of the country
are not pani salaries wmcn are com
mensurate with tfie obligations that
are placed upon them in the fulfill
ment ef their duties.
If practically three times ns many
schoolteachers are dying from tubercu
losis in this country ns are people in
oilier walks of life, because of the con
uirions which surround the teachers,
what must be the effect produced upon
the schoolteachers of this country by
the various other germs which are Just
ns readily, transferred from Individual
to 'individual a3 are the germs which
produce tuberculosis? And what must
bo the influence upon our boys and
girls who are compelled by the various
governments to attend school from six
to twelve years under the same condi
tions and surrounded by the same in
fluences that surround the teaching
profession?
