The summer was upon the hills with a vengeance. "Mighty onusual," aald Ma Dally, "this here heat Hottest It's been fer many a year; "Ifa agoln' to be a mighty dry season an' It's early." Which prophecy seemed due to be fulfilled. A blue heat bate lay deep In the valleys, hung amid the bills. The deep floor of pine needles In the big woods was already dry as powder, and It was only late July. The camp was humming ahead with the work. They had exceeded their expectations In getting out logs, sending out more than they had planned. Miss Ordway. still mistresa of the little aouth room, worked feverishly at the new story of the tlraberlanda. A bit of her brightness, some of her painstaking cheerlness, waa gone with the summer's heat She had thought that long before this she would have won. that the e:;agcmeiit ahe bad so daringly announced would be a fact.

The eyes closed naturally, slowly. The white head slid gently down from Sandry's shoulder. With a cry that rang through the room, Walter Sandry sprang up, lifting the body.

He clasped bis hands hard behind him, while Doctor Gentry came silently and laid an arm around bis ehoul ders In his aoul was waging a seethlnp turmoil of emotions anguish and solemn Joy, shame and triumph, certainty and uncertainty.

Mnsseldorn. at a town In New Jersey. There was none to observe her on the sunny Silett road the low growth of spruce, and when she strolled down the little mesdow again toward the rook shark, that particular letter lay safe Inside the bosom of her dresa. She went straight lo the aonth room, Her entered and closml the door hands trembled violently, but there waa no compunction for what ahe was about to do In ber heart.

When she did she stood in tbe doorway and looked at Slletx, white and filled with a towering anger, and Slleti, looked back as white. They were women, pure and simple, ami they matched In tbat moment their wit and tbelr strength. Miss Ordway knew by tbat look that Sllets had those papers more, that she knew their contents but she dared not say a word. If the girl should show them to Sandry, She was al should destroy them most on tbe point of flinging herself upon the slim, dark creature, risen along the doorpost, and fighting for possession of her property. But there waa something sickening In the steady glint of those dark eyes. In the half wild crouch of the Blender body, and she only stood and beld to tbe lintel consumed with a wrath that could have killed. Hut the wrath of Slleti was. worse it would have killed, forgetful of the Preacher, whose word had teen ber simple law of life, forgetful of Sandry, who bad become ber pattern In his sanity and Judgment With an effort the woman moistened her lips. "Did did you And a bunch of let ters?" she asked between her gripping teeth. And Sllets, for the first time tn ber life, choked down ber liters! fear of damnation and lied.

Ths English post office announcs-men- t Invalidating all the stamps Issued In Queen Victoria's reign affected a considerable number of varieties. From a table published not long ago in L'Echo de la Tlmbroglogte. the French philatelic Journal, It appears that no fewer than 3.191 different Victorian stamp portraits had been issued up to the end of 1909. King Edward figures upon 1,080 different stamps. Outside tha ranka of royalty Bolivar tops tha list with 213 stamps, or nearly twice aa many as Columbus, who haa been represented 119 times. When postage stamps first came Into use, some people urged that the effigy of majesty is too sacred to serve ss a label for letters, tha Manchester Guardian observes. "Have you aeen tbe stamps yet?" wrote one ardent loyalist In 1840. "This Is the greatest Insult offered the queen." King Ferdinand of Sicily had a special. postmark manufactured in the shape of a frame, so tbat stamps could be obliterated, without his portrait being struck by the postal officials.
