and as I feared, I dreamed of Denny. We were out on the pier and there was moonlight and the setting was perfect for such a scene just as If 1t had not happened in reality.
 There wasn't sign of Margie Dixon and Denny and I were back together again as though q year hadn't passed at all. The moonlight seemed to be binding. And l could hear McCool thump- ing as he does when he scratches himself at night and shakes the whole house. l was angry at him for disturbing that moment and I was troubled by that white moonlight blinding me.
 Then the dog parked Q shrill, sharp bark, Automatically I rolled over and yelled at him to stop the noise, I opened my eyes but I couldn't see. A light, brighter than any moonlight, was in my eyes for Q second, and then all was dark.
 I know the light was there. I could feel 1t like something mate- rial on my face, and the racket McCool was making was real

 I knew that. No one could ever make me believe differently. I was sure of that and the light on my face, and the remembrance of those murders settled down on me like a lead weight.

 The sound of Maudie's voice yell- ing at McCool brought me courage and I snapped on my bedlamp. My hands shook so that couldn't bet into my robe and settled by throw ing 1t over my shoulders.
 Maudie was all right but Me- Cool was in a vicious mood. He was looking out towards the back door, and after switching on lights, I went there.
 The door was unlocked. I'd gotten in that habit while Denny was staying with us because he was always coming in at all hours. But the door was open and the milk bottle I had put on the steps was knocked over.
 Someone had been in the house and I didn't have to tell Maudie. She knew 1t as she stood there beside me and saw the terror in my face.

 Canada, as a part of the British Commonwealth of Nations, shares the mother country's fierce devo- ton to its king. This was clearly shown by the enthusiastic recep- tion given to King George and Queen Elizabeth on their 1889 visit to the dominion.
 The 1887 portrait stamp above, was one of the British empires coronation series.
 George VI, third of the House of Windsor, was born Dec. IA, 1895, son of the late George V and Queen Mary. He succeeded to the throne Dec. 10, 1886, after his brother, Edward VIII, abdicated to marry Mrs. Wallis Warheld Simpson, an American.
 The king is as conservative in dress as Edward was daring. Along with philately, his hobbies are gardening. tennis. golf and hunting.
