Out In the hall was the sound of hurrying feet, coming closer, a quick frantic tattoo on the polished floor. She put down the pen and turned around. They were Just outside. In the next instant in-stant the door burst open, and Sue Porter flashed it shut behind her again. "Anne!" she cried." She was as white as death, her eyes desperate with fear. "Anne! Give them back, Anne!" Her voice broke into terrible sobs. "Oh, please, Anne!" Anne went to her quickly. "Give you what, Sue? What is it? What are you talking about?" "Russell's plans ... the specifications." specifi-cations." She tried to control herself. "I . . . gave them to Mr. Taussig.

This must be important Anne thought He's trying to bribe me with a special currency. "What is the story, Mr. Taussig?" she said coolly. "Give Mrs. Porter her property first'! Td like the story first to see if it's worth it" Anne replied. She looked at Sue. Her eyes had widened wid-ened with sudden hope. "As a matter mat-ter of fact Mr. Taussig, I can't feel that you're that anxious to save the Porters, frankly." Mr. Taussig smiled again. "By no means, Miss Heywood. It's not the Porters. It's myself, I assure you. After I have told a company of Army officers that you suspect I'm a spy. and they learn that you've found documents in my room which should not I admit frankly have been there, it makes my position exceedingly awkward. My profession is one that doesn't admit a shadow of misinterpretation-" "What is your profession, Mr. Taussig?" "I am a sanitary engineer, miss Heywood." Anne smiled. "Of course.

Anna waited until he closed the door. She nasnea across nutting her hand over Sue's mouth. "No!" she whispered. "No!"

"-Some one else has. And maybe we can save the Pieces for you. Listen. We've got to get hold of Pete Wilcox. And gosh ... we can't phone; he might hear us." She looked at her watch. It was after twelve. Sue stared at her dumbly. "Now look," Anne said suddenly. "You put a chair under the door knob and go to bed. I'm going out and find Pete. I'll get back if I can. but if I can't I'll go over to your house and stay until morning. Have you got a key, and what's the nurse's name if I have to explain?" "Maria," Sue answered weakly. She fished down in her pocket She held out the key. "What are you going to do, Anne?" "I don't quite know. It all depends. de-pends. You just stay here and sit tight. If the phone rings say I've died or I'm taking a bath or something. some-thing. Do you understand?" Sue nodded. "And don't worry, sweetie. Ev-erything'll Ev-erything'll work out" Anne went to the window overlooking over-looking the ocean and leaned out The tiled roof of the bar was five feet under her sill It sloped up gently and down again toward the sea wall Beyond it was the sandy ocean beach. She could get out all right Getting back in was something some-thing else again. Still, getting out was more important than getting in. "Don't worry if ' I v don't come back," she whispered. "Just stay here till you hear from me." She hung her bag over her shoulders, shoul-ders, slipped off her pumps, fastened fas-tened them inside her belt and swung her feet over the ledge. "If I ret arrested I'll phone you." She gripped the sill and let herself her-self down, the stucco grating against her knees, felt her feet touch the uneven tiles, and let go the window. win-dow. She crept to the end of the roof above the terrace. Her heart rose. The trellis with the bougain-villea bougain-villea over it was near enough for her to catch hold of ... if the terrace ter-race was empty. She listened, reached out, caught it and swung herself across, climbed down, brushed herself off and slipped around to the sea wall. "You're being a fool, Anne," she thought She took her pumps off her belt put them on, closed her eyes and jumped down onto the cool firm sand to where the street came to a dead end in the ocean. She hurried up under the palms to the broad avenue in front of the hotel and crossed the street to the taxi stand. "Take me-" She stopped. The driver was looking look-ing at her oddly as well he might she thought. He'd look odder than that if she went to the Bachelor Officers Of-ficers Quarters at Fortress El Morro. "To the Escambron," she said. It was hard to remember what a lady did or didn't do in Latin countries. coun-tries. The Valeras would probably have very rigid ideas on the subject She got out For an instant she hesitated, and then hurried Inside and to the telephone. Her heart sank as she wondered what she could do if he was not there. She waited. Suddenly his voice came. "Pete this is Anne. I'm at the Escambron. Can you come quickly? quick-ly? I'll be outside on the walk, about half-way down. I've got to see you. Pete! Are you there? It's Anne, Pete ... is anything the matter? Please, Pete! I've got to see you!" It was five minutes to six when Anne came out of the dining room of the Granada into the lobby. At six o'clock Mr. Taussig came down the stairs. He had his green guide book and his brief case in his hand. "Good morning," she said brightly. bright-ly. "I thought you'd forgot I've been up an hour and had break-fast"- The slight frown on Mr. Taussig's face cleared. "Splendid.," He glanced up at the clock. "Where is Mrs. Porter?" "She's asleep, poor kid." A car had come up the drive and stopped under the portico. She recognized rec-ognized Diego Gongaro's black limousine. lim-ousine. Steady, old, girl, she told herself sharply. "What time will we be back, do you think? I'd like to leave her a note." "Better make it late, and if we're back early it will be a pleasant surprise," sur-prise," said Mr. Taussig. "About five."

In the long watches of the night he had come to one or two very definite conclusions chiefly concerned con-cerned with his own future well-being. well-being. Anne went to the desk. She'd better bet-ter not write anything. It might make him suspicious. "Will you tell Mrs. Porter, who'a in my room, that I won't be back until late, between five and six?" she said to the night clerk. She turned back to Mr. Taussig with a smile.

'Enough and on Time' Is Slogan at Utah USN Depot ON THE shores of Great Salt Lake, 4,280 feet above sea level, nestling in a peaceful valley at the foot of the Wasatch mountains moun-tains near Clearfield, Utah, has developed during the past year the nation's greatest naval supply depot de-pot now playing an impressive role in speeding the sinews of war to the Pacific fleet and expanding ex-panding U. S. naval bases in ever increasing quantities. The first outgoing shipment from the depot a little more than a year ago was a single safe. Today the depot is called upon to handle in excess of 3,000 train carloads a month, according to supply officer in command Capt. Cyrus B. Kitchen (SC), USN. These shipments to the fighting fronts range from insect powder to Diesel engines, from tea cups to a thousand bed hospital complete com-plete for advance base operation. From a handful of civilian workers work-ers and naval and marine personnel person-nel a year ago, more than 4,000 workers help package and ship each day several thousand boxes of naval supplies. Approximately 100 WAVES arrived for duty at the depot during the past month. Rather than "too little and too late," the slogan "enough and on time," motivates the speeded-up operations at this huge depot. The physical plant is soon to be enlarged en-larged by $7,000,000 of new construction. con-struction. There is a continuing need for more employees at the depot. I Bombers May Deliver Our Fruit When Peace Comes Commercial fruit and vegetable growers may find good use for a few cf the surplus second-hand bomber planes which will be available following the war. Car rying a 5-ton load, these planes can maintain an altitude of 28,000 feet where temperature reaches 45 degrees below zero. By "bomber delivery" perishables perish-ables can be delivered anywhere in the United States, farm-fresh or strato-frosted, within a few hours.
