''I'll get taxi-and stop for you"
"Oh, no, I'll stop for you. It's on
my way out there" she volunteered.
She drove up to the Grafton Arms
at the appointed time. There was
color on her cheeks. She had bound
her head with red ribbon.

at her cheeks and her hair.

''And never told me -"
But why should II"
Tweedy knew various pleasures in
playing with girls that had nothing to
do with the game: light banter, care
less lingering between holes and before
drives, and, at the end, the purely
male qualification in excelling the
weaker sex.
Today there was no light banter be-
tween shots. Alice strobe along the
green like a man, a little apart from

"Only-what?" he demanded quickly.
John Pratt laughed. 81 was going to
say there are a lot of folks in this town
who have always felt sorry for Bill
Lattimer and Alice. We've figured
that they never had much of chance
at anything. I've a notion that
that's why Alice plays such good
game of golf it's something her
mother never could get a finger in;
she's all by herself in it. Get what
mean? There they are now, over on

There they we're, Tweedy saw. Alice

Tweedy watched and admired, even
from that distance ..

holes or at tees. In the end they tied.
Il could have beaten you if l hadn't

Alice lamented. Her face was glowing.
And Tweedy was looking at her as
though he never had seen her before.
Tomorrow morning?" He was in
wardly astonished at the eagerness
with which he waited for her answer.
They played the next day and Alice
beat him by two holes. And they
played the next and every morning
that week. They talked golf, driving to
and from the Club.
Then came telegram from the Dill
ingworth Publishing Company. 1t
suggested that Tweedy conclude his
work; four weeks seemed ample time
to cover it. Four weeks, thought
Tweedy, astonished.

He used the tone of their golf talk.
But Alice's voice was different.
"Oh." And then: "Yes. of course"
And when she sat down in the study
across from him she folded her hands.
He had put the thick bundle of fscrawled
over papers on the desk. He looked up
and saw her face and her folded hands.
He got to his feet. precipitantly. "Dont
do that" he exploded.
"What?" Alice cried, startled. She
got to her feet. too. A warm color flew
toher face; her eyes we're wide and dark.
"Sit there like that. fold your hands
the way you do. can't stand it,!
Tweedy knew he was crazy. But he
went on, crafty. Don't you think l
hate all this business just as much as
you do? For half cent I'd chuck
everything I've written into Phoebe
Shreves Lattimer's own waste bas-
ket." Then suddenly he realized that
he was saying this to Phoebe Shreves
Lattimer's own daughter. He faltcred,
waiting for her cool reprimand.
But Alice laughed. 1t was an odd
laugh, little uncertain, little fright
ened, and it seemed to hang In the air.

to sober her. "You can't hate it as -
as much as do" she said, slowly,
emphatically. And I've had to live
with it all my life! You've been writing
things about my mother - slush, you
call it. 1t really wasn't ever anything
like what you've written, but she
made herself believe it was that way,
exactly that way; and we, Dad and I,
had to believe it, too. For us it was
like - like giving up someone you
wanted very much; just someone
ordinary, who'd belong to you"
Not tear in her eyes, or trembling
of her lips, but Tweedy sensed the
depth of her loss and was touched.
He took her hand. II know. And l

She drew her hand away. Aunt
Matilda didn't have to tell you any
thing - about me!''
Have you forgotten him, Alice?"
Now, why. he thought swiftly. in
panic had he asked that? And why
had he had the brass to call her Alice?
How'd he happened to take hold of her
hands? BY very decency he should
withdraw his question, with an apology
for its presumption, but somehow he
couldn't; he had to know her answer.
She appeared to be considering it.
"Yes," she said, finally.
Tweedy, embarrassed and, strangely
for him, at loss for words, turned to
the desk. Shall II"
"What?"
"Chuck this away - tear it up?"
"Oh, no! 1t doesn't matter"
1t didn't, of course And it was
finished. Tweedy felt immensely de-
pressed; he would have said it was the

"Yes. Now" And she smiled and
held out her hand. And. few mo-
ments later, Tweedy Grayson walked
down the winding drive under the
elms, whistling.
He took the night train to New
York. He gave his notes to the manag-
ing editor who scanned them and ap-
proved them with slight grin that
was a tribute to Twcedy's advertising
sense. Work waited for him and kept
him busy through the day. There was
telephone on his desk and at any
time he could call Rita. But he did not
call her. He decided he'd wait until
after dinner.
Frequently, and for no reason. he
thought of Alice Lattimer. Certainly
he'd been on the loose. yesterday,
talking the way he had. What was the

Just as the fourth ship in the column
turned. another craft rose from the night.
Totally unexpected, it lay directly in the
retreating destroyer's path 1t was only
matter of seconds before the destroyer would
knife her like great spear.
The destroyer's skipper automatically
leaped to the engne-room annunciators "All

In the engine rooms sweating machinists'
mates grabbed the throttles of the singing
turbines. They spun the wheels to reverse
while men on the bridge braced themselves
and waited. The crash seemed inevitable. But
moment later the destroyer shuddered from
stem to stern like a horse pulled to its
launches. The stern squatted deeper and
deeper into the water. But it was enough. The
next instant the bow gided sckeningly
through the wake of the spectral ship And so
the destroyer escaped to continue its retreat
into the cloak of night - to live another day
- to launch another night torpedo attack ..
Early this year when about 80 L. S. Navy
ships, 600 airplanes and $4,000 officers and
enlisted men fought Fleet Problem 20 in the
Caribbean, nearly 100 destroyers took part
in the battles. launching uncounted night tor
pedo attacks. For it is in just such tactics that
the destroyer proves itself to be an extremely
difficult weapon to combat. There is really
no sure defense against these vessels engaged
in launching night attacks, except to sight

The great moment arrived. Along the port

the World War it was our splendid destroyer
force that conveyed troop ships to Europe
carrying 100000 soldiers. Without these lit

For a number of years after the War the
United States did not build single destroyer,

but in following that program of economy we
now find ourselves outranked by other ma

destroyers, with approximately as many more

service rendered our country by destroyers in

can afford to neglect building up our fleet in
