In the case of the young actress who is "on the road", and has a sweetheart in her tome city or town the condition is more aggravating. letter missed is often in her case a d.y spoiled. Miss Edith Blair, prima donna of "Sergeant Kitty," who posed for these pictures, has shown the feelings of a young actress who, because of un avoidable circumstances, has not writ ten to her sweetheart fvr several days. She receives a letter lrom him and Is half afraid to open it for fear that he has misconstrued her fa ilure to write and has ceased to love her. The pic tures show how she hesitates, then on opening learns that he does still love and understands the delay in her cor respondence and how she feels when she reads the lines that tell her that he thinks she is the only girl in the world for him and the climax of her joy when she finds that he will drop all business and travel several hun dred miles to see her and that she will meet him tomorrow at the next town to bo visited.

Athy, who has just been appointedmail carrier between Camp ton and Spradlin, Wolfe county, has the most remarkable record of any man in this part of the country. His unusual record began at his birth, when he weighed only two and one half pounds. He grew up, however, to medium size. Athy has been a mail carrier in dif ferent sections of the mountains for nearly twelve years and in that time has made a great reputation as a hun ter, having killed several bears, a large number of wildcats and almost a thou sand squirrels, besides a number of rattlesnakes. Several time in his cancer Athy -has been compelled to leave his horse at the bank of some swollen stream and to place his mail sack in his teeth and swim across. In all his twelve years of service thO;mail has never once been delayed. bnce Athy narrowly escaped being killed by a landslide which swept down a moun tainside and completely obliterated the road just in front of Athy. Athy is also a preacher of the gospel. Each day at one or two points along the trail he finds a crowd awaiting him, and there he gives five or ten minute talks on the methods of getting in and staying in the straight and nar row path. Many have been converted by his teachings. Athy also acts as messenger boy for that entire moun tain district, and. when any one wants a bundle brought from the "store" he never hesitates to ask Athy to bring it for him. Athy states that he has been en gaged to be married twenty-eight times and has never been "in earnest" yet, Athy has educated himself and is well read for a citizen of that part of the mountains. He is always well dressed and polite, and is undoubtedly one of the most popular of Uncle Sam's mail c?.rr!ers. Athy is thirty-seven years old. He has ridden one horse all the time that he has been mail carrier, and it is estimated that they have covered near ly 12,000 miles together. PANAMAS AND STRAW HATS CLEANED ' " Am SLOCKED.
