And she at once led the conversa
tion into Impersonal channels. She
was a good talker and a very pretty
woman, and the Rev. Reginald found
her society so agreeable that he pro-
longed his visit for more than an hour.
Now, as it happened, his visit to
Mrs. Robinson had not escaped the
lynx-eyes of a highly respectable mald-
en lady who lived just over the way.
This was Miss Letitia Partlett, a veri-
table dragon of propriety and self-con-
stituted guardian of the morals of
Tootham. Before the day was out she
flew round to St. Matthew's vicarage,
where she had a Inog private inter-
view. When the curate went next
morning for his day's instructions, he
was greeted by his superior In the
sternest and most frigid of tones.
“Come in here, if you please, Mr.
Bisgood,” sald the vicar, leading the
way to his study, “I have something
very unpleasant to discuss with you.”
The curate wondered,

Mail Carrier Unable to Read or Write,
Reno has a mall carrier who can
neither read nor write, not because
the Government desires this sort of
clerk In the service, but because the
postmaster cannot secure applicants
for the position from the ranks of
those who are making more money in
other lines. The cost of living is so
high in Reno that no one wishes to try
his luck with the chance of promotion
in the civil service. John Duvrey, re-
cently over from France, has started to
serve as mail carrier, and although he
can neither read nor write he com-
pares the numbers on the houses with
the address and manages to hold down
