 The publication Is Foreign Government Philatelic Agencies" and lists nearly 100 countries who either do or do not maintain spe- cial agencies for the sale of stamps. Collectors ought to bear in mind. however. that dealing direct with foreign governments is not always satisfactory, due to postal fees both ways, registration costs, sometimes a foreign commission fee and occasionally dishonesty on the part of foreign postal clerks.
 The U. S. Post Office. expecting Vne of the greatest rushes in its history, has requisitioned 3,770.- 100000 postage stamps for It's 45.000 post offices throughout the nation.

Turning from the instrument, he
looked of across the meadow. Dawn
had scarcely broken through the
night, with only a faint gray over
the eastern summit, yet breakfast
smoke drifted up from the camps,
and wranglers were Looping out to
gather in the horses.
Soon came a thunder of running
hoofs as the animals raced down
from the slopes and were made un-
willing prisoners in the corral. Other
men approached afoot, roped their
mounts, saddled and trotted away.
Sticks beating against tin pans
echoed from camp to camp, and
then the welcome call: "Come and

caught up Kit from the pasture, the
cattlemen were already at their job
of cutting out.
The groups grew steadily. Men
shouted. Cattle beloved; the brown
mass began to mill, sending up a
pail of dust that hung in a breath
less sky. Sunrise struck it and for
one moment turned the cloud to
gold.
Brock rode to where a short rum
way of logs broke the drift fence,
tied Kit, and mounted the top bar.
Here he would make his count as the
punches passed. His glance went
over the riders, picking out young
Tillson astride his chestnut, Jack
son, the range boss, sitting his horse
on a knoll and keeping an eye on
the work, and then the one he was
really looking for.
She was in the middle of the drive,
cutting out with the best of the
punchers, rope swinging, falling
deity, only the smallness of her
figure marking her apart from the
men. With increased wonder Breck
watched the movement of her blue
horse; sudden lunges ahead, wheel
to the right, back again, following
every sharp turn of COW that re-
fused to leave the herd. Through it
all she sat in effortless ease.
1t was more than an hour before
any of the punches showed signs of
being completed. Then jackson

Together they climbed to the top
log and sat side by side. Brock took

brand and number. $50. From his
pocket he drew a short pine stick
and mechanical counter. jackson
waved to his punchers and the first

They punched at the runway.

hand rode in, flashing the first ahead,
and with the leader started, the rest
followed through the narrow space
between the logs. Brock counted
rapidly, reached .en. passed the
stick to Jackson. At the same time
he pressed the mechanical trigger.
In time he looked at his recording
