Stamp News

COLLECTORS desiring first-day - covers for the Virgin Islands stamp, last of the 1887 territorials, should forward their covers to reach New York for dispatch on Dec. 2 at the latest.
 Airmail covers bearing postage at the rate of 10 cents per half ounce will, if sent well in advance, be dispatched from Charlotte Amalie on Dec IS by steamer to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where con- nectons will be made with plane leaving at g a. m., Dec. 16, and ar- irving at 5 p. m. the same day at Miami. Covers dispatched from Charlotte Amalie on Dec. IS by regular mail will arrive in New York on Dec. 20.
 The Virgin Islands stamp will feature a view of the city of Char lotte Amalie with the outlying harbor and sugar loaf mountains in the distance. The capital was formerly known as St. Thomas.
 On the ground that the series was released primarily "to exploit stamp collectors" publishers of the American standard postage stamp catalog will not recognize Cuba's recent issue honoring the Association of American Writers and Artists" Publishers of the British stamp catalog have taken the same stand.
 Chief objection is that these stamps are no longer valid for postage since they were issued for use only on Oct. l3, IA and IS. Current Washington advice is that the Postoffice Department is considering plan to accord Philatelic Agency mail the official franking privilege. Under this plan the agency's customers would not have to send return postage with their orders.

the situation intently. He bethought himself of another Fundamental in human nature, and so took his shiny gold watch from his pocket
 with some show of pomp, he held it out and walked to the man who had ordered their food. The brown man accepted 1t, evidently with high pleasure.
 Instantly the visitors were for. gotten while the natives gathered around the shining gift.
 "They don't even know what a watch is BobI Look" Mary Me- lissa whispered, intensely inter- ested. Have they never even seen a watch before?"
 Suddenly one of them discovered the ticking, laughed and talked excitedly in announcing 1t to the others. Everyone had to listen then, as if they were so many children. In time, though, they looked querulously at Bob; he stepped forward and took the watch again.
 The young scientist pointed at the sun, and at the watch. With extended arm, he swept in an arc from horizon to horizon, then with his finger he indicated the motion of the hour hand. He held up the watch and the yellow gold gleam- ed.
 As if by royal command, then, a murmur of awe swept through the brown audience. The leader spoke short sentence or two, and the entire assembly lifted both hands held them high as if in worship or salute. Silence reigned, while Bob Barry's jaw fell.
 He and Lissa stared in fresh surprise at this phenomenon ] Nearly a hundred people had sud- denly saluted a watch. The attitude was undeniably one of respect, of reverence even.
 Lower the watch-lower 1t, Bob, whispered Lissa. He had uncon- sciously kept 1t held high, to reflect the sun.
 He got the point. When he lowered the trinket, and with great show o1 deference gave it back to the brown leader, the people dropped theil arms and began talking again.
 Imagine that" Bob nnurmured "But 1t makes sense, by George 4 does, 'Lissal These people are sur worshippers. See? It's a common thing. Most of the aborigines ir this country were. All strength comes from the sun, all gooe things, all of life. Even the Hop Indians, and the Navajos, have some of that.

 "Yes!" she replied. And Bot -you told them that the watcf was a sun, a little sun. See?" It seemed correct. If he hat done so, 1t was a lucky move, h. told her. What more likely to i'm press the simple folk, than to b, messengers bearing a little Sun?

They looked then to study the countryside. It was typical of the Mexican border country, as to mountains and cliffs, but imme- diately before them lay valley that was cultivated and green. It was not large, maybe a thousand acres. There was but one village. Houses were built of stone, and were clustered near the great cave which Bob and Lissa had just left.
 This is in some kind of box canyon" Bob declared, studying the terrain. Look at those sheer cliffs, all around us."
 Their arrival had completely up- set the community. Evidently ali the citizens Bob counted 00-odd of them = come to see the white couple. But not one could speak an English word, although Bob caught some phrases much like the speech of pueblo Indians.
 I'm going to tackle that chief again." he told Lissa, land see what can do by drawing pictures and making signs"

They had no Idea where they were going. They were just walking under escort.

 "We're going down all the time, Bob."

 "N0 Lissa. What?"
 "About New York. And life there. used to be 50 bored with 1t. Nothing ever happened! That's why. answered your advertise ment."
 The brown men watched them carefully, spoke frequently to each other, showed them q fairly smooth path. Bob held Mary Me- lissa's arm all the while, to aid her.
 Are you sorry, now, that you answered it?" He looked at her. She was even more lovely than he had imagined her to be, when they had kissed there in the darkness. At least he told her so; actually she was sadly tousled and un- kempt, not to mention her weari- ness. "No," she declared, smiling. "I1l never be sorry.
 The walk wasn't very long. With that sudden surprise with which 8 train emerges from a tunnel, the strange party turned an angle in the cave and blinked at daylight. Near the exit they saw other things, teo; mostly great baskets and jars, ard some stacks of animal skins. The area seemed to be kind of Storehouse. Bob's interest mounted rapidly.
 "We've surely stumbled onto an- other tribe of Indians" said he, "and lucky for us. They're some tribe strange to me, but probably few of them speak English wen come around here again and investigate. I thought I knew all about this border country" Heralds evidently had hurried ahead with the news of the white couple, for as they emerged from the cave, blinking and Squinting they saw some dozens of men, women and children hastening to- ward them. They, too, were all brown.
 Bob and Mary Melissa instantly noted the complete absence of any evidence of civilization" In dress possessions, manners, even speech, these people were something from another century, from somewhere back in the middle ages as man reckons time.
 DO any of you speak English?" Bob called.
 Evidently no one did. All stopped talking, and stared. He tried again.
 We are hungry. Please give us food, and water" He pointed to his ! mouth, and to Mary Melissa's. i They understood that. At least one dignified elderly man did. He spoke 8 few words as if in com- mand and two women hastened away. Shortly they were back with earthen bowls both water and food. The food was thick hot gruel of corn meal, with some peices of meat. The hungry pair ate again, gratefully, and strength grew in them. They could enjoy some sleep but this was no time for 1t, they knew.
