Evemybody knows the mai] ,-iust go thmaugh "came snaw or hall" and sa an, but Uncle Dan Patta had been carrying the mail ever since be was a nipper helping his father and the finit flush ai enthusiesm had long ega worn off. Besides, this weather made bis rheumatism worse. If it badn't been for al these Special Delivemy letters ta every groundhog in the valley, he'd have been tempted, just this once, ta say there was toa much snow. But it was Ground- hog Day, Feb. 2, and the Me- teoralogical Service in the cap- ital was expecting every ground- hag ta do bis duty. Stili, Uncie Patta didn't see why he should have ta wake them ail up. Some of them weren't very goad tem- pered about it. Why didn't the Governent do its awn dirty work? Archie and Millicent Wben he got ta the Archibald Groundhog's be waa quite out ai breath. In a minute when he'd got it back again, he scrap- ed away same snow, put bis mouth to a amaîl hale and whist- led through his twa iront teeth. The mail be'd leit lest week and the week befome was still in the letter box so he knew that Miily and Yes-My-Love Ar- chibald weren't up yet. Another cold wait in the snow, for thcse letters had ta be delivercd ln persan. Uncie Patta stamped his feet ta warm tbem Up. Just then a cbunk of snow flew out and bit hlm square in the eye. "Came on down, Uncle Patta," seid a blurred vaice. "Blast!" said Uncle Patts, wlp- Ing the snow fram his face. I always farget ta uncaver the return end ai these speeking tube things. Fo01 ai an inven- tion anyway. In my day an oid- fasbioned sod knacker wes gaad enough." Stili grumbling, he stertcd down the dark narnaw steirs. He couldn't sec a tbing after beîng out in the snow. "Nobody cares if I break a ieg-"l "Here we are Uncie Potts,"' Archie said putting bis rmm around hlm.- "'Oh. oh. Wýhat-stairs," Uncle Patta groared. Then hc drew himseif up, pusbed out bis chest and intoned, "As an cmissar ai Her Majesty, employed ln the Postal Service ai Canada, one ai ber Dominions beyand the sees, I bereby deliver in per- san ta the rightiui addressee this Speciai Delivery letter!" He let out what was ieft ai bis breetb in another groan. "You know Archie, I don't think I cen do this enather year." Sit Rlght Up "What yau nced is a cup ai goad strang coifee," Milly said briskly ratting the stove lid.-i "Fartunately I got this na-gaad men oai nine up in lime ta have a lire gaing f1r you.

"Wes the sua shinlng whcen you caenl Uncle Patta?" he asked. "Oh no you don't," Uncle Potta aaid, wiping caffee and taasit crumbs fromi hi, whiskera. "Yau know I'm not suppased ta tell. You have ta go out and sée for y'ourseli and then fill in that form lan triplicate and send it ta thc Meteorological Bureau sa they can têke an Éverage and reckon the weathem for the next six weeks. The second copy goca ta the Bureau ai Stetisties." He scetcbed bis enr. "I do't kaow wbet thcy do withi the third." "Keep it for a file capy, ai course," Milly said with e su- periar air. Milly had warked in an office befone she married Ar- chie. Middlc ai March "Personaily," Uncie Potts continued, "I dan't think it makes a demn bit af difference. Spring neyer cornes before the middle of March anyway." "How right you are," sighed Archie. He had his head in a corner, roating in a pile of coats, Lsweaters, boots and boxes. L"Whet in the world are yau daing?" his wife demanded. o"Looking for my galoshes, my lve," Archie replied meekly. "l'il have ta go I suppose." "They're flot there you idiot. You know I alweys put them in the spere roorn closet. Of course you'll have ta go. It's your duty as a groundhog." "Weil thanks for the coifee, Millicent," Uncle Potts said when Archie staod ready in his avercoat, muffler and galoshes. "Archie can heip me up the- Oh my stars and bload hounds!"
