driver and one lone passenger, passed in front of her. She looked after it, reading the sign. "Burling- ton-New York"
 She had better go to New York, too. It would be easier to hide ill the city than out here, running along lonely roads. Sooner or later, each lonely road led into a main street, and she would be conspicu- ous in a small suburban town. Above all, she must not be con- spicuouS. She must go to New York, to mingle in the crowds.
 She would wait for the next bus. She must be in New York before the early newspapers came out. MT Hendry's death would be major news; he was one of the country's leading citizens. The sGory would crowd everything off the front page.
 Perhaps they would rot find him until morning then she would be safe until the evening papers came out.
 
 She had ten dollars. That was enough. She would get tiny room somewhere, and lock the door.
 She waited more than an hour for the next bus. Getting one, she breathed sigh of relief. It was not completely empty. There were several couples-gay and silly and a little oXicated-returning from a party. They scarcely noticed her. She found a seat and crouched down low into it. holding her coat collar up. In back of her, eight young voices harmonized the chorus of "A Fine Romance" and she re- membered the Spring F'rolic.
 It was nearly five o'clock when she reached the city. In a lunch wagon near the bus terminal she had coffee. Two cups. It stopped the quivering inside of her. Then in the ladies room, she combed her hair and brushed off her shoes and coat. She must appear reasonably presentable before she went to look for a room. For the first time, she wished her hair were not so con- spicuously blond

 The Postoffice Department has submitted detailed. memorandum of plans for the 1888 U. s. stamp program to President Roosevelt. himself an avid collector. One thought of the department is to defer until 1889 the proposed set of three "sesqui" Constitution stamps, recalling the meeting of the first Congress. the inaugura- ton of Washington. and the cre- ation of the Supreme Court.
 The U. S. Philatelic agency in Washington broke all records in December, selling Sl28,265.83 in stamps to collectors. The figure brought the agency's sales for six months of the fiscal year to Sl,- 174,ll4.90, the highest in the agency's history.

Jason Weatherly left an unusual will, but the text of that document explained his odd bequests. It read:
 My sons, Jonathan and Gerald, both cheap gamblers, may have the honor of gambling for my wealth.
 Tn my racing stable are two colts, Merry Mood and Jack Whippet. Both have run the mile in 1:38. To Jonathan I give Merry Mood. Gerald gets Jack Whippet.
 Gerald and Jonathan shall race these mounts over mile course within six months after my death. The horses must carry the same weight. The race shall be run be- fore (names of witnesses) and their decision on the result of the race shall be final.
 ITO the son owning the winning horse goes one-eighth of my for tune. The son owning the losing horse gets five-eighths. And if either of my sons. in the opinion of the judges, attempts to delib- erate1y lose the race, that son au- tomatically receives only one eighth of my estate"
 Both sons were unable to figure way of purposely losing the race and yet hoodwink the judges. However, a mutual friends sug- gestion solved their problem. Whe1 the race was run, both sons made desperate efforts to win it.
 WHAT SUGGESTION WAS OFFERED BY THE FRIEND AND WHY DID EACH SON TRY so HARD TO WIN THE RACE?
