Andy Blake, assigned to Operations, was agreeably surprised by the arrival of bis wife, Arab, who bad come to Washington to take a Job with Ordnance. On the bus while looking for living quarters for Arab, she said she was going to write down all of tbe loose talk taking place on the bus. While she was In the act she was noticed and the cry of "Spy" rang out. Arab and Andy were able to Jump off the bus, but In following her Andy tripped and passed out. When he came to the FBI questioned him, and be told all about Arab's work, and that she had been mistaken for a spy. Andy was told to be sure that Arab did not Interfere, but rather to report to FBI In the future. CHAPTER III Nasal-Ungue- Meatholatura today, Jars, tubas SO.

She wrenched out of my grip, flung open the car door, and jumped to the sidewalk. She turned for a moment. "And if you won't help," she choked, "I'll do it alone." Her heels clatired on the walk and up the curved steps and then the door opened and she was gone. I sat there in the car. I sat there doing nothing. I wish I could even claim that dozens of reckless plans boiled through my head. Only one plan went through my head, and it limped through. I wanted to call a cop. That, of course, might be the very worst thing to do. It would identify Arab publicly as the girl in the white raincoat without solving any of the mystery. Probably I would have waited there until arrested for overtime parking if the problem hadn't been decided for me. The door of the Q Street house opened and a rugged-lookin- g guy came out. He was tall and had shoulders which crowded the doorway. He eased himself down the steps and came, limping slightly, to my car. 'A guy wants to see you outside, Jack," he said. 'I don't get it," I said. "What's the idea?" He drawled, "Are you coming out nice, or do I dig for you?" I wasn't happy. The Army likes Its officers to stay out of trouble, and has a few dozen regulations to that effect. You can get a court for a street brawl. But this case seemed to call for taking a chance. I shucked off my blouse and cap, so that I wouldn't be wearing any insignia, and started to get out of the car on bis side. That was a mistake. I was only half out when he hit me. My head bounced off the door frame and got caught in a cross-ri- p of short hooks. It felt like having my head rattled In a giant dice box. Galahad was smiling. He could have dropped me with a real punch but he didn't try. He seemed to be haying fun. I got a foot up against his ribs and shoved hard. He staggered back and fell in the hedge and I bad a chance to scramble out There wasn't time to clear my head. The big boy came off the hedge like a fighter using the ropes, and rushed me. Then, Instead of dropping off to sleep, I found my head clearing. I had been doing a little instinctive work on his groceries and he didn't like lt He was trying to push me That was swell. I got a away. d stance and threw good hooks at his middle as fast as I could. He was tough. It was like hitting an underinflated tire. He would take a lot of softening. He I looked down, blinking. The guy had wilted. He wag down. But he wasn't writhing slowly the way a man does when you really get to his groceries. He was sitting down, holding his right knee. "Get up," I snapped. "Go to hell." "Buddy." I said, "if you don't get up I'll " "What'll you do, kick me? Go on. Jack, kick me. It'll look swell in the sunrise edition. Army Lieutenant Kicks Cripple." This was getting silly. "You're no cripple." He yanked up his right trouser leg and said, "There you are, Jack. Bad knee. Jeez, they ought to give you a medal." He bad a brace on the knee but it didn't necessarily mean a thing. I've seen guys with braces like that e rack up ten baskets In basketball. 'You're Just yellow," I said. A strange voice said, "Joey Raed-e- r only likes fighting when he is winning." It was a harsh voice. It scratched like a bum needle on a phonograph record. I turned and saw a short fat man. The street light reflected on his glasses and made him look blind. He was so fat that his arms stuck out at angles Instead of hanging straight down. Joey Raeder scrambled to his feet and grabbed the fat man's coat with his left hand. He snarled, "I've been taking that stuff off you ever since I came here. You're gonna learn to keep your mouth shut." I saw Raeder drop his right shoulder and start a punch and I Jumped forward to stop him. I wasn't needed. What happened was almost too fast for me to follow. The fat man's hands made short white blurs agsinst the darkness. Not hitting: With the edges of bis slashing. palms.

He moved up close and the blind glasses glared with reflected light. "People think a fat man is a joke. They think he cannot fight or make love or plan." His voice was higher, scratchier. "Perhaps you jthink so? Perhaps you think so?" "Take it easy," I said. "I never gave it a thought." The voice came down a pitch. "Raeder lives in there," he said, tilting his head at the fake embassy. "Take him in. Tell him to report as usual tomorrow." I picked him up In a fireman's lift and staggered up the steps to the house. The door opened. The next ten minutes were among the worst" in my life. The place was filled with excited girls. None of them knew exactly what had happened, except that poor Joey was hurt and that I had done it. As I entered there was a gasp of horror. The way they shrank back I might have been a Jap task force. It was too much for me. I said brutally, "Where do you girls want the body?" SouthA lovely little is he dald?" erner breathed, "Is "No," I growled. "He swooned. Can I drop him Just anywhere?" "Don't you dare drop Joey," one of them cried.

"You have a cut over your left eye and a bloody nose and your vanity is terribly bruised." "With Joey around," I grumbled, "there isn't any vanity left for anybody else to have." She laughed softly and patted my hand. "You're a little boy, like most men. But a nice one, I think. Come along. I am Mrs. Fielding and this is my home." I lumbered down the hall beside her like a small grimy kid with a nice aunt. "If you own this place," I said, "why do you let a guy like Joey Raeder stay here?" The trim shoulders shrugged. "One needs a man around a house. To take care of the grass and furnace and to open stuck windows and " "Yeah," I said, "I bet he's great on opening girls' windows. From which side?" She opened a door and fumbled for the light switch. "You have no right to say that." she said coldly. "Sorry." "Sit down," she said. "Don't worry about the girls coming in and bothering you. Their community room is across the hall." I sank into a chair and watched her rummage through a closet. I don't have a photographic mind but I never have much trouble remembering a pretty face. And I hadn't forgotten hers. She came back from the closet with some absorbent cotton and Band-Aiand alcohol, and I said softly, "Do you still like those tall glasses of cafe nature and onion soup at Les Halles at six a. m. and the tango and buttered croissants?" Her eyes widened but she didn't seem very curious. "What would be the use?" she said. "The Germans have Paris." "I don't want to pry," I said. "Shut me up if you want.

OLD FRIKNDS WAKE UP AND GREET PETER RABBIT chuckled to him- he left Unc' Billy Possum and scampered on down the Lone Little Path through the Green Forest toward Bobby Coon's house. "A stomach Is a funny thing," pETER self as Lacks Nitrogen The firing of corn during tho exceptionally wet weather U principally due to a lack of nitrogen. SWAPPY FACTS thought Peter. "Yes. sir, a stomach is a funny thing. People say that this one or that one is good hearted or bad hearted, when half the time I don't believe the heart has anything to do with It. It's the stomach. That's what it is the stomach. If a fellow's storriach Is just comfortably full he is and if it is uncomfortably impty he is cross. It's surely funny how differently things look when you've got something in your stomach. Now this is certainly a beautiful spring morning, but Unc' Billy Possum couldn't see it until he got that beetle in his d stomach. Then he was his old, self all in a wink. Why, if it wasn't for stomachs we wouldn't have much of anything to worry about." Peter stopped running to think this new Idea over. He can always think better sitting still.

He set a new record one night in Harry's New York Bar for emptying that r beer mug. Something under twenty seconds. What was his happy-go-luck- continued Peter, talking out loud to himself. "If it wasn't for our stomachs we never would have to worry about food and we wouldn't have to worry about enemies because we wouldn't have any!" At this amazing thought Peter's eyes opened very wide. He felt that he had made a discovery. "I don't know about that," said a voice. "You seem to forget about men with their terrible guns and traps. They bunt us for fun more than they do for food, though I must say I can't see where the fun comes in." Peter whirled about. There was Jimmy Skunk. "Hello, Jimmy!" he cried. "I'm ever so glad to see you. When did you wake up? You are name?" looking pretty well for one who has "Bob. Bob Fielding." She said it so calmly that for a had nothing to eat since last fall."

I carted him to a bedroom-batcombination on the first floor and flopped him on the bed. Half a dozen girls clustered around him, twittering with grief and smoothing his forehead and making him comfortable. I saw his eyelids flicker, but he didn't open them. In his place I'd have done the same. "IX you really want him to move," I said, "call his draft board."

"Not yet," I growled, "on account of the Germans didn't use any Me'a In Spain." A weak voice said, "They got things wrong, Jack. It was Heinkels, and only four. I might of got five but I caught a slug in my knee." It was Joey, and he was starting to sit up at last. His admirers crowded around him and patted him and told him not to overdo it but he shook them off bravely. Jack," he said, "we still got something to settle." I said hopefully, "Something we can disagree about?" kid cried, "Now you A teen-ag- e Just leave Joey alone! You knocked him out once." "Just for the record," I said, "I didn't knock him out. He decided to alt out our waltz, and then his boss came along and they had an argument and his boss rocked him to sleep." Arab fell Into a chair, whooping like an Indian bearing down on palefaces. I stamped out of the room. Luckily it didn't have a revolving door. As I reached the hallway a cool hand touched mine and a woman said, "Let me fix those cuts before you leave, Lieutenant." Her face was in a shadow but I could see a slim figure with legs that deserved a trlple-- priority on nylon. She wore a tailored suit with a flaring white collar opened one more notch than a really shy girl would have opened lt "I'm aU right." I said. "You better takt care of Joey, though.

My scratches didn't seem very Important I had my throat untangled by the time she finished. I thanked her but she wasn't listening. She tilted my face to the light and studied it. After a few moments I muttered, "You won't remember my face. Nobody does." She gave a little start. 'Tin afraid I wasn't even trying to remember you," she said. "That was not polite of me, was it? I was trying to remember a girl from Brittany." She rose. I stumbled to my feet and we turned toward the door. And there was Arab. She didn't look angry or suspicious. She looked like a college freshman hauled up before the Dean of Women. Her feet were toeing In and her fingers tightly laced and her eyes wide and fearful. I had never seen Arab frightened, although there had been a few times in the past when it would have been sensible of her. "I've been fixing your lieutenant's face," Renee said calmly. "Oh," Arab said. She sounded relieved, and I wondered If there had been a shade of emphasis when Renee said "your lieutenant" Women make me feel helpless. Sometimes I get the Idea that men don't have any choice at all, but just get dealt out by women to each other like cards.

When we got out on the porch nobody was around, and I said, "Do I know you well enough yet to kiss you?" "Well no. But It's a nice way to get acquainted." Arab looked at me hopelessly and said, "I've got to get some sleep. Do you mind?" "I'd better go, anyway," 1 said. (TO BE CONTINUED) winter?" asked Peter. "I should say not!" returned Jimmy Skunk, with something like scorn In his voice. "It is a wonder to me, Peter, that with all your own curiosity you know so little about your neighbors. I only sleep when the weather is too bad to get about comfortably. That Is the time to sleep, as anyone with common sense knows. But when the snow isn't too deep, I come out In winter just for a little exercise and to get a bite to eat I'm not so foolish as to sleep all the time." "There's no doubt about that" said another voice. Peter and Jimmy looked up to see Bobby Coon coming up the Lone Little Path. Bobby yawned and rubbed his eyes. "Hello, old sleepyhead! When did you wake up?" cried Peter. "This morning," replied Bobby. "Drummer the Woodpecker hammered on the side of my house until I couldn't sleep another wink. I had to get up to drive him away. Funny how Inconsiderate of others some people are. Now I'm up, I guess I'll get something to eat. I feel hollow clear to my toes. I think I'll go over to the Laughing Brook and see If I can't catch a fish or two." "That reminds me. Have either of you fellows seen any fat beetles this morning?" asked Jimmy Skunk. "If I had they would be where they would be doing the most good now," replied Bobby Coon, patting his stomach. "I've seen one," said Peter. "Where?" demanded Jimmy Skunk, eagerly. down the throat of "Disappearing Unc Billy Possum," chuckled Peter. "Huh," grunted Jimmy, with a disappointed air. "If that old sinner is abroad, I guess I better be moving if I want to get my share of fat beetles." You may turn them in and get your cash back at any time after 60 days.
