"
I
am
a
collector
,
"
Major
Humo
had
explained
.
He
had
spent
an
entire
afternoon
searching
among
the
heaps
of
old
magazines
in
the
store
.
In
his
mild
voice
he
had
explained
something
which
Childan
could
not
quite
grasp
at
the
time
:
to
many
wealthy
,
cultured
Japanese
,
the
historic
objects
of
American
popular
civilization
were
of
equal
interest
alongside
the
more
formal
antiques
.
172
Why
this
was
so
,
the
major
himself
did
not
know
;
he
was
particularly
addicted
to
the
collecting
of
old
magazines
dealing
with
U
.
S
.
brass
buttons
,
well
as
the
buttons
themselves
.
It
was
on
the
order
of
coin
or
stamp
collecting
;
no
rational
explanation
could
ever
be
given
.
And
high
prices
were
being
paid
by
wealthy
collectors
.
173
"
I
will
give
you
an
example
,
"
the
major
had
said
.
"
Do
you
know
what
is
meant
by
Horrors
of
War
cards
?
"
He
had
eyed
Childan
with
avidity
.

Searching
his
memory
,
Childan
had
at
last
recalled
.
The
cards
had
been
dispensed
,
during
his
childhood
,
with
bubble
gum
.
A
cent
apiece
.
There
had
been
a
series
of
them
,
each
card
depicting
a
different
horror
.
175
"
A
dear
friend
of
mine
,
"
the
major
had
gone
on
,
"
collects
Horrors
of
War
.
He
lacks
but
one
,
now
.
The
Sinking
of
the
Panay
.
He
has
offered
a
substantial
sum
of
money
for
that
particular
card
.
"
176
"
Flip
cards
,
"
Childan
had
said
suddenly
.
177
"
Sir
?
"

"
We
flipped
them
.
There
was
a
head
and
a
tail
side
on
each
card
.
"
He
had
been
about
eight
years
old
.
"
Each
of
us
had
a
pack
of
flip
cards
.
We
stood
,
two
of
us
,
facing
each
other
.
Each
of
us
dropped
a
card
so
that
it
flipped
in
the
air
.
The
boy
whose
card
landed
with
the
head
side
up
,
the
side
with
the
picture
,
won
both
cards
.
"
How
enjoyable
to
recall
those
good
days
,
those
early
happy
days
of
his
childhood
.
179
Considering
,
Major
Humo
had
said
,
"
I
have
heard
my
friend
discuss
his
Horrors
of
War
cards
,
and
he
has
never
mentioned
this
.
It
is
my
opinion
that
he
does
not
know
how
these
cards
actually
were
put
to
use
.
180
Eventually
,
the
major
s
friend
had
shown
up
at
the
store
to
hear
Childan
s
historically
firsthand
account
.
That
man
,
also
a
retired
officer
of
the
Imperial
Army
,
had
been
fascinated
.
