he told her. II kept hoping every
minute that one might drop down
here and prove to be Rene's, and
then I realized how silly that was.
If he comes, he'll come alone" =
Claire stood watch outside while
he ate, and then made him lie down
on the bunk she had so recently va
Gated. Despite his protests that he
wasn't tired, he was asleep in less
than minute, and he didn't even
stir when she leaned down and
touched his lips lightly with her
own.
The girl. careful not to expose
herself to any one who might stray
into the clearing, sat beside tree
and gazed up into the sky. Help, if
it came, must come from there.
AS she watched she unused over
her situation. Just few short
days ago, she had been aboard the
st. Croix, expecting to sail for home
and the safety of neutral waters.
Now, less than two weeks later, she
and Bill were hiding in a clump of
trees no more than 80 miles from
Berlin, both of them fugitives who
must surely face a firing squad if
they were caught, branded as spies
of Adolph Hitler's enemies.
Dreams of Future.
Happiness lay before them-if
they could again reach France
and safety. When they sailed for

America instead Of occupying wide
ly separated cabins, they would sail
as Mr.. and Mrs. William A. Cam
eJ On.
It was something Claire felt was
well worth all she had been through,
and she breathed frequent and fer
vent prayers that some guardian
angel would guide Rene safely
through the perils of a fight over
enemy country and to the tiny
clearing where they waited.
Dusk came almost before she
realized it, and with approaching
darkness her hopes arose. She saw
a lone plane, poised high in the
heavens, its wings cleaning like
gold in the fading rays of the set
ting sun, and she had a sudden feel
ing that it was Rene. 1t must be!
She leaped to her feet, ran to
the hut and shook Cameron. He
awakened gasping, his arms fail
ing, and she had to dodge to avoid
being struck.
"What-what is it?" he demanded,
as he finally realized 1t was Claire
who had aroused him from the first
sound sleep he had had in several
days.
II think it's Rene!" she cried.
Il saw a plane high to the west, and
I had a feeling"
Lets hope it is," he said, rubbing
his eyes. But the air has been full
OF planes all day. It's probably Just
another one heading for home.''
Nevertheless, he went with her
outside, and followed her arm as she
pointed out the plane, now much
lower and sweeping in wide circle.
AS they watched it, 1t disappeared
from sight over the tops Of the
trees and Cameron uttered an ex-
preston of disgust. Whether it was
evaporation at having been awak-
ened prematurely, or disappointment
Claire didn't know, but as he turned
away, she continued to search the
darkening sky with her eyes.
Suddenly she shouted.
There 1t Is, Bill! There it is"
Help From the Skies.
She pointed to the plane, now
approaching from the east, and
losing altitude so rapidly that it
seemed to fairly skim the tops of the
trees as it swept over the clearing.
She waved frantically, and then
the plane again vanished over the
trees, but a minute later it came
back, dropping down with the sud-
denness of a bird shot on the wing.
Claire and Cameron were racing
across the field toward 1t as it
skipped and bumped along the
