THE MOTOR MAIL.
MIDNIGHT-SORTING ON THE ROAD. The romance of the old stagecoach has gone, but the.lonely midnight journeys of the motor mail van of to-day have their picturesque side, too. Between 1.30 and 2 o'clock: each morning (states the "Daily Mail") the cross rnada tit Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire, ■ witness the meeting of the motor parcel mail vans from Birmingham (57 miles), London (51 nicies), and Leicester (45 miles). Here at the cross roads the vans sort out the parcels for the respective towns, and, haying exchanged them, proceed on their long night journeys through tho silent countryside.
