 His hand on her back was gentle, and he guided her surely and expertly. But she couldn't bear it any more. A soft sob broke from her. Please, no more" " They were standing perfectly still while the music rose poignantly and unbearably. For long mo- ment, there was no one else in all the world but their two selves.
 Shall we go out on the porch?" he was asking, his voice curiously hoarse.
 They shouldn't go. Yet she was walking beside him like a girl in a trance.
 The night was seductiveIy beau- tiful. There was a great white moon, and palms swaying in the wind. There was the breath of sweetness around them like a cloud of magic. And he was so close to her. So terribly close. She couldn't think, she couldn't fight any more.
 We shouldn't - oh = we should n'tp she burst out.

It's like a knife in my heart to know she trusts me. But I can't take her in my arms any more. can't tell her love her any more. The whole world has changed. There's nothing but you. see your face up there in the clouds when I ought to be con- centrating on the way my student is flying. I hear your voice every where. It's driving me crazy! We've got to do something"
 He had no right to put 1t into words! While 1t had been only a mirage, beautiful and unreal, beckoning and yet threatening, she had still had the courage to run from it. But now these words of his made 1t solid, unacceptable.
 "Listen!" she perked out. "Even If there weren't Marcia - even if ] weren't engaged myself-I couldn't Jimmy, you're flyer. A mar whose career is devoted to war And I'm a peaceloving girl. A pacifist, if you like. hate your work! And and I hate you for being in 1t, so there!"

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Dream Brought Crown To Hungory's King

0F the many legends surround V ing the famous crown of St. Stephen, first king and patron saint of Hungary, one of the most unusual is that relating how he came into possession of the simple gold circlet.
 The crown was made, at the or- der of Pope Sylvester II, not for Stephen, but for the king of Po- land. But the night before it was to be dispatched to Poland, the Pope had a vivid dream, in which he was instructed to give the crown to new monarch, whose envoys would reach Rome on the next day.
 The following morning the Pope was informed that representatives of King Stephen of Hungary had arrived. They brought news of Stephens successful war against organism in his country, of his uniting nomadic tribes of the ter- ritory and his assumption of the royal title. They asked the papal blessing for their monarch.
 Pope Sylvester gave them both the blessing and the crown. In Stephen, the Pope found a loyal champion of Christianity, for the new king fought his pagan ene- mics until his death in 1038. For- ty-five years later he was canon- ized a saint, his body exhumed and the crown taken from his head to be used by all Hungarian kings.
 St. Stephen is shown on the Hungarian stamp above, carmine, of the issue of 1888, commemorate ing the 900th anniversary of his death.

CHAPTER V

 In the one word was contained an urgent leading. Jimmy must not know how she felt about this naval air base, about the planes, about war. What difference did 1t make why drag that in to torture and tor- ment him? There was enough keep ing them apart without that.
 But if Jimmy knew the real reason why you want to go home"
 "Marcia!"
 But darn 1t, it's 50 silly, when you get right down to 1t! It's making a mountain out of a mole hillp
 It would be a mountain, high and impregnable, If Jimmy ever knew it, Linda thought unhap- oily. Their fight was hard enough already. Because they were both honorable people, they were trying to reason away the mysterious att traction which was catapulting them toward each other. But even if there hadn't been Marcia King, for Jimmy and if there weren't George Cameron, in Queensville for Linda this thing alone would have split them apart.
 Jimmy Cooper was standing straight and still, the sunlight on his rumpled tawny hair and his eyes on Linda's face. "If it's something you don't want me to know, of course Marcia mustn't tell me-" he said tonelessly.
 "All right, all right" Marcia moved impatiently. But she's not going homel She came down here to be maid of honor at our wedding, and she's not going tc wiggle out of it!"
 Linda wanted to cry out that She dared not stay. She wanted to say Marcia, you fool! If remain here maybe there won't be wed. ding! How can you be so blindi Can't you see whats going onf Can't you?"
 But Marcia was sunny and as. srued again. Her arm slipped in- side of Linda's I'm rotter hostess, that's what 1t is. I ran of and left you to listen to Bil Brooks tale of woe. I'm going tt take good care of you from nov on and give you real whirl You'll have such good timt you'll forget all about - all abou everything else"
 They cut the sightseeing short To Linda's relief, Jimmy stayet on the field and Marcia drove th car home. Nothing had beei sEated. Somehow she'd have t. get through the two weeks ahead Somehow she'd have to stand III in that church, smiling, whil, Marcia became Jimmy's bride.
 1t was ridiculous to feel thi! way! How could he mean so mucf to her already? But her wayware heart ached in her breast Fantas. tic or not, that was the way 1t was.
 Suddenly she wanted, more thar anything else, to see George Samer. on again. If he was here, close be. side her, she'd snap back into hel senses. Everything would becom, serene and normal again. On ar impulse, after lunch, she went tt her room and wrote him a note.

transported to gully in the boys lit

on every trip. Through the years, we
lost COW or two, and beautiful
horse. Always, Ponto would 60 to that
lonesome gully; there he would lay
with his head on crossed paws while he
silently grieved.
When Ponto was seventeen years
old, came home from a four-year
stay in Florida. Ponto met me at the
gate. The old fellow was hobbling on
three legs and even they we're stiff.
But there was still trace of the old
smile in those eyes, And the dropping
tail was wagging welcome. But there
was something wrong. He failed to
respond to words; the ears did not
come up.
Then an idea presented itself. Maybe

Ponto was spoken to. this time from
short distance. But Ponto's eyes soon
died; his tail dropped lower. He turned
and skunk away Then we knew he was
stone-deaf! Ponto thought l would re-
proach him for failing to hear me.
All that fall and part of the early
winter Ponto spent in eating and
sleeping. These last days he slept in
the kitchen. One night in December he
paved the door to let us know he
wanted to 60 out. He limped through
the door - for his last walk.
Next morning we found him in the
barnyard, where he'd managed to
crawl into the boys little wagon. The
dancing days of his honest eyes were
over. He'd chosen the only way pos
sible to tell US that he wanted to make
that last ride to the gully of the dead.
He wanted to go where his friends

Twice, while doing this, he was kicked
and rendered unconscious. This taught
him to stretch fiat on the ground when
urging them to hurry. He was seen to
demonstrate this trick to neighbor's
pup once. If Ponto had had such
tutor, it would have spared him much
misery later on.
He would never sleep in dog
house, but preferred to stay on the
north porch, where he was alert, even
in repose.
One winter night his incessant bark
ing got us out of bed to investigate. A
wooden ash barrel at the northwest
corner of the house was blazing. Strong
winds had famed an ember to life and
it was licking at the side of the house
with its red, destructive flame. Thus
did Ponto save our home.
When any animal died, he would
display solemn interest; seemed to be
seeking the reason for this strange
event. Why had his friend ceased to
move? Ponto was not gay at these
times. Somehow, he knew this was no
laughing matter.

We boys proudly bore the puppy
home to the farm, and nobody could
have convinced us this dog didn't al

canine brain back of his mischievous
eyes was extraordinary.
Very early. Ponto displayed an en-
thusiasm for games. Hide-and-go-seek

either hiding or seeking, but much
preferred the latter.
Besides learning to identity every
member of our family by name, he
developed a sense of humor. Yes, he
could even laugh when he played some
prank. He practiced one joke every
time the opportunity occurred. If he
caught somebody STOPPING. he would
nip the trouser seat enough to pull the
owner off balance. This delighted
Ponto. Then he would look around as
though seeking applause.
If we were carrying in kindling

teeth and 60 to the woodbox by the
stove, where he deposited it. He would
even carry kindling by himself when
the notion struck him. If the yard

through the wire fence.
Once he chose long stick that hung
