"Somehow," she said quietly, "they do send it if they are the only two people who have had passes, and who now are permitted to correspond." "But you saw the letters " "So did you, Colonel." "I did!" he said emphatically; "and there's nothing dangerous in them. As for the peach pits " "Oh, I'll take your word for them, too," she said, laughing. "When is your post-rider due?"
Don't come till Kitty has gone." Duties in the school till near sunset, then letters. O'Bannon had told him that Mr. Bradford's post-rider would leave at four o'clock next morning; if he had letters to send, they must be deposited in the box that night.
But when the post-rider returned, he brought it all back with a letter of gratitude: only, he couldn't accept it.
Her prayers were far more needed by some one else. From the commission of his wrong, Brereton made it a point to meet the post-rider as he trotted up to headquarters each afternoon, and on the third day after the action of the Governor, he found in the mail a letter which told him of the success of his trick.

The haggard post-rider came galloping in with news from north and west, which the throng of anxious village folks gather to hear. There have been skirmishes, successes, retreats, surprises, massacres, retaliations; there is news from Niagara and Oswego on far away Lake Ontario, and echoes of the guns at Ticonderoga.
I have permission to send the pits to you by the military post-rider who passes my house. I will send you twenty every day as my peaches ripen. Please prepare for planting. I hope your rheumatism is better. Yours very truly, Evelyn Carryl. The Messenger's dark eyes lifted dreamily to the Colonel: "You gave her permission to send the pits by your post-rider?"
