When the woman ushered Jerry Whitfield into Oliver Darts study 1t was evident that they could not have arrived at a more unfortu- nate moment. The old man was ripping skirt hem with his pen- knife and pulling out pieces of buckram which he evidently Sus- pected of being paper. Garments were strewn about on floor, table and chairs, giving that pitiful c.cct which personal objects al- ways give when desecrated.
 Stop that!" Jerry said.
 "When it so pleases me. Who are you?"
 My names Jeremiah Whitfield. I'm cousin to Trepid Chelsey of Connecticut and I mean to take care of his daughter, I've come to get her belongings" He turned to Mrs. Broggs. Madam, gather up everything at once, so I can take the trunk down."
 DO so, Mrs. Broggs," said old Oliver Dart, laying down his pen- knife. T find nothing incriminat- ing"
 Where is the girls money?" Jerry asked. And her mothers picture?"
 I've taken the money" said Oliver Dart, "as a very small pay ment toward what America owes me. I've also retained the min- iature, since that was paid for with Dart money. The frame is of some value."
 Give me those things" Jerry said, much too angry to think clearly. You're too old for me to fight, but I'll pry you loose from 'em if I have to shake your riggin down!"
 Sailor talk! Hm-m-m. Well, MT. Jeremiah Whitfield, I'm an in- firm old man with no means of protecting my rights. You'll find what you're looking for in the table drawer over there. See that you deliver it to the girl"
 She'll get it." Jerry replied, eff I live to get to the Unicorn and Crown"
 Mrs. Broggs, who was closing the trunk lid, looked up obliquely at Jerry and laid her finger on her lips. But the damage was done Old Oliver Dart had his great niece's London address, if he cared to use it. He sat passively silent as Jerry departed with the trunk. He neither scowled nor smiled but sat with his face closed in upon itself, and his finger tips delicately meeting.
 Jerry waited till next morning to restore Polly's property to her. He found her Satisfyingly appreciative She went to him ana kissed him f1eetingly on the lips. "As a grate- ful person kisses a very kind cousin, she said, laughing. After they had looked at the miniature she hung it around her neck on 8 chain. The money, she asked him to keep fol her.
 He made no effort to take her in his arms, but his eyes were so ar dent that she knew she had not dreamed his love making of last night. It was rather sweet, she realized, to find the fire still very much alive under the ashes of honor and caution he had spread.
 "I've been at the docks since day light" he said. I've found a way for us to get out of England. Car you be brave and level-headed be.

yond the average woman, Polly?"
 T doubt if I'm naturally that way" answered Polly, but I can try. What is the plan, Jerry?"
 "Chet Wheeler put me on to 1t. A smuggling clique works out of cove between Deal and Dover. I've got in touch with one of them. This day week he'll take us across the Channel to a fishing port near Calais. Chets already gone to Dover to wait. To hide out, rather"
 But for me-" Polly said, you'd be at Dover with him. The Unicorn and Crowns an awfully public place for an American sailor to be. When came to you yesterday, Jerry, you lost precious time and took on a use less burden. Two useless burdens!" she insisted, over his protest, for her dog could be heard barking down in the stable yard. 'I'd better take Nuisance to the commons and let him run"
 "Ill walk part way with you, Polly" Jerry said. But I must go back to the docks and seal friend ship with that French-speaking ras- cal who's to take us across"
 They left the tavern and walked a piece together through the Lon- don streets, each comforted by the nearness of the other. Then, be- fore he took lane leading down to the river, Jerry watched Polly walk toward the commons, the little mongrel at her heels.
 Her lovely head was held high and her body swayed in the long graceful strides of an American village girl who can listen to a lark sing while driving home the COW "The sweet" he said tenderly. For though he had come ashore at London two months ago to see the town (and had done so, right thoroughly he had seen nothing in feminine form-neither through fine coach windows nor behind tap-room bars nor on the boards of Drury Lane Theater-as appealing as hon. est Polly Chelsey from Connecticut.

\ AST1NG memorial to George T Washington is the postage stamp.
 From the earliest days of the American mail, his likeness has appeared on covers. To facilitate the handling of mail in the early 1800's, postmasters provided spe- cial stamps or devices for use on letters as evidence of the prepay ment of postage. Washington ap- peared on some of these such as on the 1845 New York provisional. Even after the official introduction of U. s. postage stamps, Washing ton appeared on these provision als.
 He became the first President ever to appear on a nations uni- versal postage in 1847. Soon after the enactment of the law pro- viding these stamps, issues ap- peared with the first President on a 10-cent stamp and Franklin on the five-cent. The portrait of Washington was from Stuart's painting.
 Since that date Washington has been repeatedly honored on American stamps and abroad as well. He is among the most photographed of postal figures. Below is described the 1847 issue which effected his rare distinction in philately.
