Haven't you learned your les- son yet, you idiot?" she asked her. self flercely, after Dwight had gone. Just thinking of the things Mar vel Hastings had said to her, that day in the Coronado, when she came to explain about Dwight's going off on the ship, made her blood burn and a shudder pass over her. Ger tainly Marvel had left no doubt of her opinion, and to cultivate her now worse, to try to lead her steps aright, as it were - would be sheer folly. Sticking your neck outP Yet she had not the heart to re- fuse Dwight. She loved him. That was the torture of it. Despite every thing, she loved him still. Just his presence beside her could make her weak and spineless. The sound of his voice, the touch of his hand. He could get her to do anything he wanted, merely by being Dwight.
 She wished furiously that she could be done with it. It was over. Why did her heart still cling to his image, her blood still boil with this agony of wanting? Dwight Campbell was another woman's

 IN STAMPS
How the Slavery Issue Engulfed Buchanan
lMMMAAAAMMMM

AT 65, James Buchanan brought IA to the office of President a character, breadth of legal knowl- edge, experience as congressman, cabinet member, and diplomat which would have made him an excellent chief executive in or- dinary times. But those were not ordinary times.
 For even as Buchanan took his oath of office the crisis of slavery flared across the nation. He was, therefore, called to make imme- diate decisions of historic and last. ing consequence. Unfortunately, Buchanan vacillated.
 His idea of saving the Union was to prevent northern agitation and to enforce the fugitive slave law. But this proved wholly in- effective. In short time Buchanan found himself involved in seri- ous difficulties, which were cli- maXed finally in a call of the South Carolina legislature to de- eide on the question of secession. On this point, Buchanan argued that a state had no legal right to secede, but denied that the federal government had any power forci- bly, to prevent it.
 Soon after this the secession movement was in full stride, and gradually Buchanan came under the influence of Black, Stanton, Dix, and other northern leaders. He sought peaceful settlement to his last day in office, March 4, 1861. Thereafter, he continued a staunch Union supporter until his death, June l, 1868. He is shown here on a stamp of the new U. s. regular series, enlarged.
