Should your angling take you
by water into the upper Pc
tomac be master of your craft.
When you arrive at a selected
spot in your roWboat. slip the
bow anchor into the water on
about a 45-degree angle. Then
release the stern anchor so the
rope is perpendicular. This
gives an ideal anchorage for
downstream fishing, the only
sensible and safe manner in
which to fish the upper Pc
tomac. Just why one should
want to fish downstream is best
explained that fish feed against
the current coming upstream.
The most rigid rules should
be observed in anChoring in the
fast waters of the upper Po-
tomac. Be sure the anchor
ropes are securely fastened and
free from your feet. Don't
heave the anchor overheard
with great gusto or you may
follow on behind. Rather, lift
the anchor over the side and
slip it into the water. Always
have a sharp knife handy in
case something should go wrong
with the anchor rope and you
need a quick getaway.
The general roundup of fish
ing conditions at home and away

to an excellent start that may
lead to a banner season.

THE fine art of producing bet
 ter and more beautiful postage stamp evolved rapidly after the Civil War, and in 1867 the first experiments were conducted with embossed paper. The adhesive qualities were also improved.
 Charles Steele obtained patent in 1867 for an embossing process and late in 1868 the Post Office Department called for bids for a new set of stamps using this proc ess. The contracts were let at a much higher figure than previous ly and the issue created an ex- plosion in Congress. But the em- bossing patent had been the crux of the whole affair. z
 Tn 1869 the set appeared, 10 values ranging from the 1-cent Franklin to the 90-cent Lincoln. The others portrayed the pony rider, a locomotive, a steamship signing the Declaration of Inde- pendence, Landing of Columbus, Washington, U. s. shield, and the American eagle. This was the first U. s. pictorial set and is believed to be the worlds first pictorial postage issue.
 The l-cent Franklin stamp, Roman ochre, is reproduced below, slightly more than one and one half times actual size.

He turned his head away again for a brief moment; his hand lying on the cover clenched hard so that the knuckles stood out. Then he forced himself to meet Jackie's eyes once more. T might as well tell you, Jackie. They don't think I'll ever be able to walk again. "
 You mustn't say that!" Jackie protested as she had before. Now she did put her arm around his neck, gently, drawing him to her, cradling his head against her heart. T won't believe it, Roger. You mustn't believe it, either. We won't think about it, talk about it even. Besides, that has nothing to do with what I came back to tell you-that I love you, that I always have and always will"
 But you mustn't! You can't! This was a cry wrung from him in spite of himself.
 I'd like to see anyone or any thing stop mel" Jackie said.

It can conquer everything, If given half a trial. Do you suppose I give darn that you may not be able to fly? Do you suppose can stop loving you now, even if you can't walk again? Oh, my darling!" She bent her golden head so that he could not see the tears that filled her eyes. Her voice held all the love, all the infinite tenderness of womankind. T love you Roger, really love you, can't you understand?"
 T can't, but I'll try" Roger said. A tear that did not come from Jackies eyes splashed on her hands.
 She held him closer, put her lips against his. This was not such kiss as they had exchanged be- fore. Those faded into nothing ness. For this kiss sealed love that was really true, that would not be denied.
 Much later the nurse opened the door, very quietly. There had been no response to her knock. "A tele- gram for you, Miss Dunn," she said, murmuring an apology for intruding. Tt is marked rush, 50 I guess 1t is very important" (TO Be COncluded)
