Of course, the stories told of Mr. Rimmon were false, and he remained the postboy's friend as long as he lived.
Marion Calvert obtained the office of congressman, and he served his constituents with entire satisfaction.
Mr. Lewis had fully recovered from his sufferings, and he led a useful life.
Little Snap finished his term of carrying the mail without further trouble. Here I wish to say that Warfield's conduct toward him had been about what might have been expected of a man in his situation. He had pretended to help him for the name of it, while at the same time he was plotting against him. I will say this in his favor, which he claimed at his trial, that he would have been a different man had it not been for his relatives dragging him down. They knew his secret, and were continually threatening to expose him if he did not help them in their unlawful work.
When he finished carrying the mail our hero was assisted to a more congenial occupation by Mr. Calvert, and eventually became an honored citizen of the Old Dominion, though he never did her a better service than when he was known as Little Snap, the Postboy.
THE END.
