 What did you say2"
 If you could march right over the head of the merchandise man. ager and convince someone higher up that you're right"
 "You don't understand" he cried impatiently. "It's not the satisfac- ton of getting the best of himl Is not even the prestige of having an idea of my own tried out That's not what I'm afterl l want 1t proved, don't you see? Any crack pot notion might be presented to Sheldrake, or that Davenpor girl, and tried out and 1t wouldn't mean anything. Just that the guy who presented 1t knew how to coax and flatter. This thing is mine. It's solidl It's goodi I want to shove 1t down their throats, not have 1t put over on account of anyone's in- huence."
 He lowered his voice, apologetic- ally. "Oh, the deuce with itl l could have pussyfooted around, pull ing strings, but thought the hard was was better. So that leaves me holding the bag, and 1t leaves him laughing"
 How could you have pulled strings, Anthony"
 "There are always ways :" He was striding to the Budget Depart ment, and she had to run to keep up with him. "Never mind. Our Ideas down sewer. But won't give upl I'll get another Idea some- time."
 Beatrice realized then that she couldn't march into Bruce Shell drake's office in the high-handed, devastating manner she had envis- toned @ moment ago. Something Anthony had said, Q moment ago stuck in her mind. T want it proved"
 She wanted her conclusions about this store proved, too. Just to descend on MT. Sheldrake, scream ing that the store was heartless and unjust, could too easily be put down to a temperamental vagary, she saw slowly. He'd soothe her, he'd get oily and unctuous afte rshe had summoned MT. Weeming and the president Of the trust company. But they'd all be like grownups handling a child in a tantrum. They wouldn't take her seriously.
 The indignity of realizing how richly she merited not being taken seriously was like a cold slap of water in her face. But all they know about me is that I was wildly extravagart, and bought Clarence an airplane and suits and a string Of polo ponies. They think I'm spoiled stupid. nd criminally irresponsible. "
 Unconsciously, she had slowed

down her pace behind Anthony through the crowded aisles. She stopped at counter, now, and stared at shining chromium toaster. I've got to do this the hard way, like Anthony. I must have proof. How can get it2"
 Through her mind there whirled half details of financial reports, profit statements, employe turnover, loss of work hours. She couldn't straighten them out and realized, sadly, she wasn't fitted to cope with them.
 T need lawyer. need Weemie l But I can't go to him now. He'd think, too, didn't trust his former stewardship. -" Only MT. Wee- ming hadn't had anything to do with the store. That was the trust company, and MT. Sheldrake. T need a lawyer. need a brilliant, honest, humane lawyer. I need someone to go into every nook and cranny and every single detail of the organization and operation of this store. Accountants, maybe. Person. mel experts. Dozens of people. :"
 Grandfather had always said, Beatrice, the possession of great wealth Is a tremendous, solemn responsibility" She had never be- lieved him. But now she stood at Q counter of the store she owned, and tears stung her eyes. A voice inside her sobbed, "Oh, Grandfather, you were rightl What shall do?" (TO Be Continued)

 IN STAMPS
Peru Advertises Famed "Highwoys in the Sky"
YvvvvvS . OseSsoSso

THE legend on the stamp, above. A tells the world that "Peru has network of the highest roads in the world" And Peru has rea- son to be proud of paved roads which rise from sea level to 6,000- foot mountain passes, offer the greatest contrasts in climate, geog- raphy and scenery to be found anywhere.
 The highway system is one of the greatest factors in unifying modern Peru, linking economic Hs- gions formerly divided by moun- tain ranges. In addition, roads open up to settlement new areass rich in mineral and agricultural wealth.
 Construction of the highways was a feat of engineering. At lnfiernillo, a perpendicular can- yon is bridged twice by the high- way at different levels. In many sections the road was blasted out of rock. .
 Travelling the l9o-mile Central Highway, the motorist drives through coastal desert, mountain valleys, mining towns, to snow- capped peaks. Then crossing the divide, the highway leads through tundra, above the timberline, drops back into fertile valleys of the eastern slope, descends to the heat of the jungle.
