but her other articles had been written
before he knew her. This last article
was more than an attack upon the
government of his country; it was an
attack on him. When he met Catherine
in the late afternoon, he burst out
angrily: 'I've read your last article -
How can you write such things about

She stood up. Her face was white,
her eyes were cold and clear and her
lips were tight. For a moment she
stared silently at him. Then she said:
But it's the TRUTH She spoke in a
calm, firm voice, without anger, but
solemnly and with suppressed passion.
Then she left. For three days he
didn't see her. Then one event fol-
lowed another with lightning rapidity.
As Wilhelm was leaving his hotel
room on the morning of the fourth
day. there was knock at the door.
Before he could call come in," the
door opened and the man with the
scar appeared in the doorway. With
out greeting Wilhelm, he stepped into
the room, took off his hat and coat
and sat down. Then he took out his
card case and thrust a greenish card
under Wilhelm's nose, and withdrew
it So quickly that Wilhelm could not
read it and stood there helplessly,
Struggling his shoulders.
Z INALLY the intruder deigned to
speak. He said one word, "Gestapo,"
and waited for the effect. But Faber
showed no signs of excitement, al
though he was actually alarmed.
The man began to talk swiftly,

The man considered for moment.
Then he grinned. "Oh. l see, | see -

driver, say, no one would be able to

Faber did not speak. 1t was very
silent in the room. The man rose to
his feet I'VE understand each other,

still unable to say a word. He care

lit a cigarette. He understood now.
Suddenly he grew calm and hard

He kept tight grip on himself.

But it's going to rain"
But she came. AS they drove off, he
noted with relief that there was no
one on the street. Before they had
driven fifteen minutes it began to rain.
Wilhelm seemed not to notice; he
increased his speed.

'Oh. see." she was still smiling,
but she had grown paler. She closed
her eyes as if she were very tired, and
for long time she said nothing. Then
she brushed her hand across her eyes.
When she spoke again, her voice had
grown softer. almost tender, and there
was none of the old mockery in it.
"Andnow you're trying to save me?'
"Yes," he said, without looking at
her, "yes, l want to save you" He
spoke the way stubbornly defiant
child speaks.
That's practically treason, isn't
it,"
He did feel defiant. But he was also
conscious of the feeling of firm COM
radeship which a soldier can feel even
for soldier of the opposing army. Yet
it was more than comradeship; it had
to be more, or he would never have
been able to dismiss so lightly what
she had done. IL felt that you were
