Again Kennedy looked through the glass with growing amazement written on his face, but before he could say anything, Burke laid down an express money-order on the International Express Company. "I say," exclaimed Kennedy, putting down the glass, "stop! How many more of these are there?" Burke smiled. "That's all," he replied, "but it's not the worst." "Not the worst?
"Nope, I got it straight Saint Louie, Mo., jest the way you see it in these money-order catalogues." "But didn't you give any street and number?" cried Hardy, aghast. "Why, for Heaven's sake, Jeff, there are half a million people in St. Louis she'd never get it in the world." "No?" inquired Creede apathetically. "Well, it don't make no difference, then.
The number of free-delivery offices has been nearly doubled in the last four years, and the number of money-order offices more than doubled within that time.
Then when all is done, when with all one's heart one has laboured and paid everything and there remains just enough to send a money-order to the poilu, there is still a happiness held in reserve a delight as keen as any one can feel in such times; i.e., the joy of knowing that the "Separation fee" has not been touched. It is a really and truly income; it is a dividend as sound as is the State!
Somewhat impatiently the manager glanced up. "The 'Bulletin'? No." "Were you reading it yesterday, sir?" "Well, I don't see what you are driving at but, no. It was probably left here by Smith, one of the express clerks next door. He was in for a while yesterday on some telegraph money-order business. Yes, he did have it in his hand, now I remember. But why?"
Our foreign service with leading countries is combined, moreover, with an institution undreamed of in that day the money-order system.
Should I push on to Hay on the strength of that half-crown, draw my £8 6s. 8d., and send my clothier a guileful letter, containing a money-order for, say, thirty shillings? This would test his awfulness at finding out things, besides giving myself, morally, a clean bill of health. Or should I first walk across to B 's and get Dick L to shift some of my inborn ignorance re Palestine?
Under this admirable contrivance the post-offices of the world will ere long be so many banks of deposit and exchange for the benefit of the masses, effecting transfers mutually with much greater facility, rapidity and security than the regular banks formerly attained. Still in its infancy, the international money-order system has already reached importance in the magnitude of its operations.
We passed through a swampy, but busy-looking Chinese village, masculine almost solely, where Chinamen were building gharries and selling all such things as Chinese coolies buy, just the same there as everywhere, and at home there as everywhere; yellow, lean, smooth-shaven, keen, industrious, self-reliant, sober, mercenary, reliable, mysterious, opium-smoking, gambling, hugging clan ties, forming no others, and managing their own matters even to the post and money-order offices, through which they are constantly sending money to the interior of China.
By the end of the year practically all of these will have been designated and then the system will be extended to all fourth-class post offices doing a money-order business. In selecting post offices for depositories consideration was given to the efficiency of the postmasters and only those offices where the ratings were satisfactory to the department have been designated.
