"Um!" Tom glanced at his watch.
"Well, I must be going. Don't expect
me home till you see me-"
He paused for a moment on the
front steps and glanced at the large,
colonial house opposite. A moving
van was backed up against the curb,
and an attractive woman Of middle
age, wearing a heavy fur coat, was
directing the removal Of the furniture,

muttered. Then he hurried down the
avenue, and forgot all about the new

river, which was frozen from shore to

he met with difficulties.

told him. "If you try to do 1t, you're

The girls eyes sparkled.

You'd better let me carry your suit

In making the exchange, Toms
hand touched hers just for an instant.
He thrilled pleasureably, and she smil-

"No; let's see If we can make It."
Advancing cautiously across the

aircraft guns defending the channel
port the Germans dropped bombs on
arsenals and barracks. The amount
of damage has not been given out by

In full flight the Germans fired a cou-
