Oracle looked after her with parsed
lips, a shaken head. Her mind’a eye
saw June’s finish—the putter, the
ri\er, the morgue, when the monster
who was eidielnp her to destruetion
had tired of her. Slie was polnp thus
to a man who had advertised for “A
woman with a pift of home-making,
tn a ' secluded (smntry house.” Her
heart was in home uiakinp-dt was her
art, her Joy.
Dawn melted Into duylipht as she
quitted the train. The way station
lay silent betwixt woods and pas
tures. Then with a snort of the en
gine the lonp train whirled away, re-
vealinp fieyond tire tracks a ear that
had seen better days, with a woman,
plump, placid, pray-haired at the
wheel. “You look like the answer
to prayer,” she said, umtioninp June
to her side. “1 won’t tell you why —

Among the old letters of many Southern
families are hundreds of very rare stumps
and envelopes. Many have him h>und
and sold for small forttines. Single en
velopes have been sold for as high as
$700.00. Many have brought upwards of
$50.00' eaclt. It sounds “fishy,” but It’s
true. They arc valuable because they are
rare. They are rare, not because there aro
only a few, for there are many of them,
but simplv because most of them are for
gotten, being stored away in old trunks
and closets.
Mako a thorough search through your
attic far these old war letters. Fortunes
in rare stamps have been found in old
safes which no one ever dt earned con
tained anything of value. Many an old
trunk or chest contains letters that may
bring the finder a profitable reward. Send
these to Mr. Harold C. Brooks, Box 224
Marehallf Michigan, and he will imme
diately write you, stating whether they
are of value and, if so, will oiler you full
value for them. He is a private collector
of rare stamps and envelopes and will pay
more for those he is seeking than a dealer.
Besides the Confederate issues, certain
United States and foreign stamps are
wanted provided they are on the original
envelopes and mailed between 1815 and
1870. Although the rare issues are espe
cially desired he al-o buys many of the
commoner kinds, and many people are in
this way getting (iliristinas money with
but very little trouble and no expense.

Confidenep in his integrity, lie wm advise
you frankly, offering what hi* regards the
envelopes as worth to him and in case the
envelopes are not satisfactory they will
be returned to the sender.
s'As so many stamps are similar in ap
pearance, Mr. Brooks cannot quote values
from written descriptions, but .must see
the envelopes. Furthermore, the condi
tion of a stamp or envelope has an impor
tant hearing on its value. Confederate
money, old documents or coins he docs
not collect, •
If envelopes are sent in a bunch they
should be very carefully wrapped—if r>es-

from. becoming wrinkled or crea**ed. Do
not cut the stamps from the envelopes,
but send the complete envelope;. Also
take care not trt tear the stamps or put
pins through them. Such damage greatly
