What about Joey? Wont he be suspicious about where you've been? He tried to teach me a lesson by wandering off with another girL That worked out nicely. Because Id arranged ahead of time for a taxi to wait near the picnic until I could slip away. So when Joey started to teach me a lesson, I zipped of? to the taxi and had him rush me to as close as I dared go to the house. What system do you use on Washington taxi drivers? Ordinarily they dont wait five minutes for a Senator, let alone a CAF two. I paid him ten dollars ahead of time, Andy, And promised him ten more afterward.

I finished dressing and we drove out Rock Creek Parkway while I d report, gave her a from the moment I walked angrily out of her room two nights earlier to the moment when I smashed the fat mans window. When I completed the report, Arab said, Its wonderful! Youve found out ever so much! If you go on like this theyll be putting you in Weve got to be sensible," What makes you think I was digging, Andy? . They fix up a picnic to see who will want to snoop through the house when its deserted. They must have suspected somebody of wanting to snoop. And why? Because someThree body had been snooping. . guesses who. I didnt snoop much. Just a quick look around whenever I had a chance. I must have left things out of order in Joeys or Mrs. Fieldings room. But I really didnt learn much. I saw a letter in Mrs. Fieldings room. It was in French and mine is awfully rusty but I got the idea that she has some folks still living in Brittany. What does that prove? It proves that Plain Mr. Jones can threaten her with something awful happening to her people if she doesnt obey orders. I muttered, I cant believe that shes mixed up in this racket. I know, darling. Men never do like to believe anything very bad about a pretty woman. But if she isnt in on this racket, why does she let Joey stay? To tend the furnace and so on. Piffle. Yesterday morning I overheard them scrapping. Mrs. Fielding ordered Joey from the house and he just laughed. And I didnt give you all the details about my first Interview with her, when I came to see about renting the room. If Id told you at the time, youd have said I dreamed it. We talked a long time about my background and all . . .

LYLE BRAGONIER Counter-Intellig- ence. If I go on like this theyll be putting me in Arlington National CemAnd what Ive found out etery. doesnt add up to anything. Oh, but it does! We know that Plain Mr. Jones is an Axis agent. He wrote an isolationist news letter when he knew what the real score was. He clips military news, under the cover of a legitimate clipping bureau, and sends it to Germany. He has a hold over your Renee Fielding and makes her do some of the dirty work. He employs Joey Raeder in the clipping bureau, and Joey coaxes his girl friends to talk out of turn. Ill bet what Paula Thompson saw, the night she was kidnaped, was your fat man and Joey cooking up something. And she was afraid to phone the police from the house because, with Joey involved, she couldnt trust anybody In the house. What do you think of that? She sighed, Now what do we do? Me, I march up to Colonel Parkers desk tomorrow and tell all. Oh, Andy, thats awful stodgy of you. We were doing so nicely. The war is Get this, I said. not billed as Arab versus Axis. Lots of other people feel they own a piece of it, too. If Plain Mr. Jones really does croon himself to sleep with the Horst Wessel March, a couple of people at the War Department are gonna want in on it. Sometimes, Arab said, smiling, I really think Ive fixed things so youve stopped taking the war for granted. And I didnt mean to keep everything to ourselves. Its just that Im afraid somebody will tell me Ive been a bright little girl but now run along and dont bother your little head about what happens next. And I want to help! You can start helping right this minute. Honestly? How? By coming clean with me. Andy, darling, you dont think Im holding out anything! "I know it. Ive told you everything and you havent told me anything. What have you found out? Almost nothing, Andy, really. The first night Joey and I had some hamburgers at a Hot Shoppe. Last night we went dancing some place on the road to Baltimore. Joey was curious about what I do in the War Department, but that was all. Where does he get his black market gasoline? She looked at me admiringly, and said, I forgot about that. At a little tumbledown country garage, a few miles past the District line on a side road of? the highway to Baltimore. I wrote down directions how to get there. I counted each time the gas pump went ping and there were twelve pings, so Joey got twelve gallons. But the garage man didnt take any tickets from Joeys A book. How did you know Joey got black-markgas? his speedometer I checked against the mileage the last time his oil was changed, and found he was getting five hundred miles a week on an A book. Now lets hear what you dug up in the Fielding house." et Nobody spoke for a minute. I retired to a comer and wished that the QMC would put out a camouflage outfit for junior officers assigned to The Pentagon. Finally a discussion started. Ve-r- y interesting. What do you make of it? "Not much to go on, is there? You can take it up bit by bit and its quite legal. Yes, theres no law against clipping items from newspapers. Those two scraps of conversation could be anything. They dont mean a thing by themselves. What do you know about this man Jones? Just that he runs a clipping bureau and writes a confidential news letter and used to say it wasnt our war. He can clip all the news he wants and be within his rights. The question is, is he sending it out of the country? Thats the point to check. Right. Now about the missing girl. We can look into that. How long will it take. Major? Hard to say, sir. We havent much to go on. Just a name. A week. Two weeks. And about this Joey Raeder and Mrs. Fielding. It wont hurt to look up their history. Apparently he was In the Spanish fighting, and she came over from France within the past few years. The State Department may have some ideas. Well, Major . . . My pigeon, sir? Yes. And a delicate pigeon. Gentle handling. Lieutenant! That meant me. Sir? I squeaked. Lieutenant, you will refrain from any further independent Investigation of this matter. If you observe anything of interest, report it to your commanding officer. Thats all. Later In the day I managed to get time for a beverage bar date with Arab. I told her that there was nothing to the spy angle, that an investigation would be made into the Paula Thompson case, and that I would be held responsible if she didnt limit her future war work to butchering carbon paper. I hinted that, if she didnt, the War Department would authorize the expenditure, on First Lieutenant Andrew Blake, of eight rounds of ammunition, ball, .30. She was very docile about it, which should have warned me, but -- didnt. Her hands patted me as lovingly as if I were a new spring hat. and she wasnt just making sure Id She was making sure I had an important Job at the War Department. "Youll have to get more proof Did you than that, I grumbled. find out anything else? fit in. Thats all. Cross your heart? And hope to die, honest It was not much after ten by the time we parked the car and strolled to the scene of the picnic. Arab had been away only a little more than an hour. Long before this the picnic had broken up into couples. They were rambling all over the place; nobody could have kept track of each individual. Joey was still missing with the girl who was supposed to make Arab jealous. Arabs disappearance hadnt been noted; her return, with me, brought no comments. We only stayed long enough to nail down a sort of alibi. It didnt have Plain Mr. Jones to be perfect. couldnt identify the prowlers who had sprung his booby trap. Any one of a dozen members of the picnic group might have been guilty, to say nothing of outsiders. The first thing the next morning I briefed Colonel Parker on everything which had happened. When I finished, he said, Your wife certainly can stir things up, cant she! He thought for a moment, then added, "We could use another secretary. Maybe if we spread this story around Ordnance, theyd get scared and release her to us, hmmm? I doubt it, sir. Um. Yes. Explosives dont bother those people, of course. Well, all this is out of my field. Lets take it somewhere else. I told the story again, and spread my scraps of evidence out: the clipping about Corporal Bill Dwights Armored Division, the torn newspaper column about the secret German radio station, and the paper with the scribbled lines reading: Betty I hope I can make it but weve been working late a lot of nights. Genevieve Its a wonder to me that trains dont get even more crowded these days, but maybe people are learning to stay home. The echoes of the war were louder, though. My theater was starting to crowd the cables and the shortwave channels. The Luftwaffe had given up trying to bomb Malta into sand, and the RAF was striking back. On the twenty-thir- d they plastered Genoa and Turin. And, the next day, Montgomerys Eighth Army began swinging punches from its shoelaces at the El Alameln line in Egypt. Everyone had known that Montgomery was going to attack. The Germans knew it as well as anyone. But what they didnt know was when and on what sector and in what strength. The Afrika Korps sagged a little, counterattacked, and then for days the infantry and guns slugged it out. The sullen masses of Axis and British armor hung back, waiting for a Something was cooking. You could feel the tension building up like steam pressure around The PentaNobody said anything, but gon. there were signs. Quickened steps. Grimmer faces. The crackle of questions at War Room shows. Of course I thought things were cooking for North Africa, but that was just because it was my theater. Everybody, from Commanding General to the newest dogface, always thinks his theater most important. When I looked at the situation ill other parts of the world I realized that we could be getting ready to sock the Axis almost anywhere. And Arab turned into a task force. The fireworks started because I One of my found an apartment friends got his orders for overseas duty and I was the first to wish him luck in one breath and ask for his apartment In the next. I laid claim to it sight unseen, and we called up his landlord and closed the deal. The apartment would be mine in a week. I had lunch with Arab and told her. She didnt seem pleased. It means leaving the house on she explained. Q Street, You dont like the place, do you?" I hate It, but Ill be walking out on a job. A job that needs doing. Talk English, will you? I am talking English, and you A clean-u- p know what about! job needs to be done there. You can smell Hitlers New Oder all over the place. But you and the big brains here in The Pentagon have decided that there isnt any spy angle. And so nobodys allowed to fumigate the place. We argued for fifteen minutes. I kept telling her that she was Imag-inin- g things, and all I succeeded in doing was making her furious. Only one thing would have done any good: to tell her that the spy angle was being carefully investigated. And I was under orders not to tell her that. Finally she rose from the table, and said, We aren't settling anything, are we? Then lets not talk about it any more. Do we have some gas left in the car?
