"Probably they will come to the ship," Paul said speculatively. 'Yes, that's right," Thomas put in,' nodding his head. "I've seen , them do it the papers before. Karl gives them and they're gone again. "You don't think Karl has found out that you changed those plans?" Joan said nervously. "He "doesn't seem to." Men appeared from the hold of the ship. All stood at attention as the hatch of the submarine opened and two officers appeared. As Thomas had predicted, the boat carried them to the ship and they all went to the pilot house. "What will they do now?" Joan asked. "Get the papers and go back." "And all those plans will be used?" "Yes. Not only plans for bombing planes, but formulas for explosives and poison gas. This spy ring has connections in every part of our country. It's a powerful organization and the leader's the one we want. Getting Karl alone wouldn't do any good. If he were in jail the rest of his life, it wouldn't stop the rest of them." "How terrible!" Joan shuddered. "That isn't iha tnnrc it " aTJo,,l u . u . ui aii, aiu went on.

"That's what happened to me. Karl told me my wife would be put into a concentration camp if I didn't give him five thousand dollars. She was still in Germany, you see, so I tried to raise the money but I couldn't. So Karl offered to put it up for me u I would come,on this ship. But I ve never heard from my wife since."

"Karl won't kill anyone," Paul said, calmly lighting a cigarette. Joan had already noticed that Paul had the faculty of inspiring trust. Thomas seemed to be relieved by his assurance, vague and indefinite though it was. Joan, too, felt some inner faith, some conviction that Paul could master any situation. It was a little after seven when Thomas motioned them to come outside. Karl and the officers were on the lower deck. They watched as the officers descended the rope ladder and were rowed back to the submarine. In the darkness it was hard to distinguish them. It was like some evil mirage, as their vague shapes disappeared down the hatch, then slowly the submarine submerged. "It's the most terrible thing I've ever seen," Joan said, moving closer to Paul. "It's symbolic of all the hidden terror in the world today." "And it's my job to do all I can to stop it," said Paul. "You'll never stop Karl and his kind. There are too many of them," Thomas said sadly. "It would take Galahad. tourist stopped at a farm 7. Trinidad. house for a drink of water. "Fine ( 8. Six Washington, John corn," he said, waving to a hill years." "We'll stop them all right, no mat- ter how long it takes, and every little bit helps. If we can get to the bottom of this unit, it will frighten the others. Every man in the FBI is working day and night tracking down these people. We'll catch up with every one of them eventually." Joan's heart was full of pride in his words. Paul caught her glance and smiled. She was clutching her purse and gloves, ready to depart, as he had said, "at a moment's notice." "We're not going to get out of this as soon as I thought," he told her now as they went back into the lounge. "May as well sit down and irelax." "Not me," Thomas insisted. "I'm going to stay on deck. If Karl does come, I don't want to make things look any worse than they already are." "Odd that Karl trusts you here with us," Paul meditated. "He trusts me," Thomas declared, "because he knows I'm afraid of him." But though neither Joan nor Paul would admit it, both thought that Karl was too clever to overlook the possibility that Thomas might aid Karl's prisoners. Had he deliberately planned it this way? "Drink your tea, dear," Paul advised. "This may be the last food we'll have for quite a while." They smiled, sending each other a message of courage. The ship lay quietly. They had not moved since the arrival of the submarine. Thomas stood patiently outside. The rain on his slicker gleamed in the darkness. "I think he's more worried than we are," Paul commented. Thomas' shuffling footsteps came suddenly to their ears; also a hard tread ascending the stairs. "It's Karl!" Joan whispered. She had scarcely uttered the words when Karl Miller's powerful He figure loomed in the doorway. held a pistol. Paul and Joan faced him silently. Behind his back Joan saw the terrified eyes of Thomas. "You amaze me, Mr. O'Malley, Karl said coolly. "A man in the government service should be more clever than you have been." "Meaning what?" Paul inquired with assumed indifference. "Do you really think me so stuthink pid?" Karl smiled. "Do you I would hand over important papers without checking them first?" "Sorry to disrupt your little plan. You could see for yourself that they are quite worthless now." "But "Quite," Karl said coolly. would government that your feel I have preferred to lose the plans and have you alive." "No!"

"To die for a purpose like this could almost be called a pleas ure." , Joan wondered how he could talk like that at a time like this, but Karl had a faint glimmer of approval in his cold eyes. "I admire your courage, Mr. O'Malley. Too bad that you fight on the wrong side. If you had joined with me, we might have gone far together. His hand raised the pistol, his finger was pressed against the trigger. Joan saw Thomas motion to her and she knew instantly what she must do. She snatched the gun from her pocket and fired it directly at Karl Miller. With an expression of complete incredulity, he crumpled to the floor. o o ' The gun fell from Joan's hand as she stared with unseeing eyes be fore her. "I've killed him," she whispered. Paul's arm was about her. "Don't think about it. We're getting out of here." Thomas took a timid step forward. "It served him right," he declared with satisfaction." "Where did she get that gun?" Paul demanded. "I gave it to her." "I've killed him," Joan repeated. Paul motioned to Thomas and together they helped her from the cabin. Outside complete darkness, a slight wind and the misty rain. "Do you think you can get those papers from the safe?" Paul asked Thomas. "I'll wait here with Joan." Thomas looked fearfully over his shoulder. "There's nothing to be afraid of now," Paul said. "Go quickly before the others find out what has happened." Paul and Joan waited under the narrow ledge of canvas. Large drops of rain splattered down on the deck. Joan clung to Paul's arm unable to speak. "It won't be long now, honey," he said. "Try to bear up just a little while longer." Thomas returned almost instantly with the papers and handed them to Paul. "I didn't see anyone," he reported. "This all seems too easy." "Never rnind that," Paul said. "Do you think we can lower a boat?" "Sure. But we'll have to go down to the boat deck and one of them will see us. They all know what's what. They'd shoot us down like Karl would have. We haven't a chance of getting off this boat." "There's no time to argue," Paul insisted. "I know what I'm doing. Now let's go." As they descended the stairs there was no one in sight. The boat used to take the officers back to the submarine was still in the water. "What luck!" Thomas said. "Not luck," Paul replied. "It's there for a purpose. You go down first and I'll help Joan." Thomas disappeared over the side. "Do you think you can make it, honey?" Paul asked Joan, looking anxiously into her white face. "I'll go first and you follow me." Tremulously Joan obeyed. The ladder swayed with her weight and the rope scraped her hands as she grasped it fiercely. Step by step she went down until at last she felt Paul's arms lifting her to safety. Thomas loosened the rope that held them to the ship. "This won't work, Mr. O'Malley. They'll shoot us like dogs. We haven't a chance." But he was wrong. They rowed away unmolested. The ship was like a ghost; not one of the crew was in sight. Later fatigue held her prisoner and with her head buried in her arms 6he fell into a deep sleep When she awoke it was to brilliant sunshine streaming from a blue cloudless sky. Her muscle were stiff and cramped. Paul watched her, smiling. "Feel ... better?" She sat up and stretched her aching back. "I don't know how I could have slept like that." "If you want the truth," Paul grinned, "I put a sleeping powder in your tea late yesterday afternoon, I figured on something like this," (TO BE CONTINUED) . (1337-1453- ). 3.

Ever since the outbreak of the war, the American Red Cross has been for many people the only medium through which they could get news of their relatives in Poland, Holland, Belgium and the other occupied nations. Even when the news has been bad, even when it has been the worst possible, it has at least meant merciful release from torturing anxiety and uncertainty. For a while it was possible In a few cases to maintain contact by letter over long routes. Since "oundabout America's entry into the war, all remaining avenues of communication have been closed. Today, under the rules of the United States Office of Censorship, personal messages to residents of enemy or enemy occupied territory may be forwarded ONLY through the Red Cross inquiry service here aud the International Red Cross committee in Geneva, Switzerland. Regulations governing the send ing of one of these messages from the United States are that the com munication, which should be filled in at a local Red Cross chapter, must not be more than 25 words, and should be in English. If it is written in a foreign language, an English translation must be at tached. The United States Office of Censorship rules that no mention may be made of politics or military subjects, defense materials, shipping or weather conditions, business matters or geographic names. But even the strict regulations cannot rob the brief message on the International Red Cross form of its human warmth and drama. The original message, made out in some local Red Cross chapter here, goes on its long and slow journey across ocean and conu nents. Space is provided on it for a reply message, to be re turned to the original sender. THOUSANDS Prepared Exclusively for J "Best in these parts," replied the farmer. "But how do you plow that hill?
