the earphones without prompting
and minute later they were in the
air, with the shouts of good-by and
best of luck from the men on the
ground still ringing in their ears.
Fascinated by Gunfire.
Rene circled and circled, gaining
altitude, keeping the Metz Field in
sight until he reached an altitude
of 10000 feet, and then with flirt
Of his wings set course northeast.
We'll, here we 60, Claire" he
called through the earphones. Far
down below us, where you see those
orange colored flashes, is our Magi-
not Line. Fifty miles up ahead
there, although it doesn't seem that
far from this height, is the Siegfried
Line, tossing tons Of steel back at
our fortresses."
1t was fascinating to peer over
the edge of the cockpit and see the
bright bursts of fire more than 2
miles below them, with occasional
flares soaring into the air and burst
ing far underneath them.
It wasn't long until they were well
past the long lines of fortresses, and
we'll over Germany. Rene had been
silent for some time when Claire
was startled to hear his voice sud-
denly lifted gaily in song. He was
singing the "Marseillaise"! The
surge of the national anthem Of
France sent cold thrills chasing up
and down her spine, and she found
herself humming the air, too, into
the mouthpiece strapped in front OF
her mouth.
Surely, she thought, no man and
woman ever had sung that song
before during wartime 2 miles in
the air over German territory, and
she smiled as she wondered what
the Nazis would think If they could

then glanced over his shoulder at
her, grinning.
you've made this trip before
into Germany, I mean?" she asked.
"On an average of twice a week.
It's great sport. Much more fun
than sitting about a stuffy office at
the Ministry, making career for
myself"
But isn't it dangerous?"
He shrugged and didn't answer.
Instead, he put the plane into
dive. Claire felt herself pushed
back against the back of her bucket
seat as though heavy hand were
showing her. The lights of city
loomed up at distance. Rene
skirted it, then a minute later was
dropping down rapidly and soon
she ielt the wheels of the under
carriage skimming along the con-
crete runway as smoothly as car
skimming along a level road.
With a swoop, Rene turned the
plane and it headed toward a large
hangar. Several men in uniform
were running toward them and as
Martin brought the plane to stop
they dashed up and took the ma
chine in charge.
Martin Becomes Murten.
Rene was out of his safety belt,
climbed down to the ground and
ran of toward the hangar. Claire
climbed out and was assisted to the
ground by one of the men whom she
recognized as an officer.
Captain MARTINI" she asked,
puzzled by Rene's disappearance.
He'll be back presently. He's
gone to change his clothes, also his
identity. When he returns, he'll be
Ober- Lieutenant Hans Murten of
the 22d Aerial Squadron" The
officer laughed as he saw the ex-
preston on Claire's face.
Naturally" he went on, he'll
have to fly a German plane-imper-
senate German officer. His papers
will be in perfect order. If anything
should 60 wrong, he has every
chance to get away with his decep-
ton until he can get help from one
of our people"
Il see," Claire said.
The officer handed her a passport
and purse of German money, then
took her gas mask from her and
gave her one of German make.
From the moment you leave this
field" he said, you must remember

This is the way you are described in

for you is If something should hap

will be much less. You will have

You speak German well, I am told, so
you should have no trouble on that
score" He paused and turned at
the sound of approaching footsteps.
Claire gasped. Rene was approach
ing, but 1t was an entirely different
Rene from the smart Frenchman
she had known. His whole appear
ance seemed to take on a changed
aspect with his donning a Nazi
uniform. There was an arrogance,
a conceit reflected in his features
that had not been there before.
His disguise went much deeper than
a mere change of clothing. He &C
tually, for the time, became a Ger
man officer.
Ready, Fraulein Dietrich?" he
snapped at her.
Ready, Herr Lieutenant" she an
swered and was rewarded by a
smile as his features relaxed for q
moment into the familiar devil may
care expression characteristic of
Rene Martin.
A German-made parachute re-
placed the one she had been wearing
and she stepped into a plane half
again as large as the one in which
they had flown from the Chamonix
field. 1t bore the Nazi insignia.

along It was cold so high In the
air, and she was glad she had &C
cepted a heavy flying jacket from
the officer before she left the field
at Metz. She would have been half
frozen without 1t.
The only sound she could hear
was the steady droning of the motor
and when it suddenly stopped, the
silence seemed deafening in con-
trast. She looked nervously at the
back of Rene's head. He didn't
seem excited or worried. He ap-
parently knew what he was doing.
She felt the plane diving, and then
a few moments later saw brief
flash of bright light. Then there
was black darkness again. How
Rene had found the crude field in
the dark she never knew; he must
have used some sort of magic.
In contrast to the smooth landing
at Metz, this was bumpy one, the

A Landing in the Dark.
She turned on the small light IN
the dash in front Of her, flshed
the false passport from her purse,
and examined it closely. 1t had a
picture of her, all right. The same
picture that was in her American
passport. Where it had been OBJ
tanned she had no idea and refused
to puzzle over it. She was begin
ming to believe that anything was
possible to an efficient organization
such as France had engaged in
counter espionage work.
Her name was printed out, Clara
Dietrich, "a, with a Berlin address.
Her occupation was given as a
stenographer. She memoriZed the
address carefully, repeating it over
and over to herself so that in case
she were asked to give it suddenly,
1t would roll glibly off her tongue.

CHAPTER XII.
If Claire was surprised at finding
Rene Martin as her pilot, her sur
prise was shared by the dashing
young aviator who, as Danny Brooks
had told her, cheerfully gave up a
brilliant future in the ministry Of
war to do his bit for his country in
the air.
Capt. Martin recovered first, and
smiled broadly at the American girl.
well, fancy meeting you here"
he said, facetiously. He handed
down a parachute and with the help
of Capt. lie Fevre she adjusted the
straps over her shoulders and
snapped the belt securely about her
waist. She listened carefully as lie
Fevre told her how to use the chute
in case of an emergency.
You merely go overheard, count
10 slowly, and then give the ring a
hard pull" he said.
Sounds simple" Claire remarked.

come a member of the Caterpillar

He waved to the mechanics, who
terked .he chocks from in front Of
the wheels, speeded up his motor,
and the plane started to move. In
a moment It was racing down the
runway and almost instantly started
to rise.
Claire had flown many times be-
fore. but always in transport planes,
never in a small, wasplike ship like
this. AS the wind tore at her face
and hair she was grateful for the
helmet lie Fevre had given her and
the goggles she slipped over her

rience, one she'd never forget, she

The plane climbed with breath
taking speed, and then leveled OF
as Rene headed northward. He
turned and motioned to Claire to
put the earphones on and started q
gay conversation as though they
were seated together at a cafe, in
stead of 2 miles up in the air, racing
along at nearly 200 miles an hour.
We're headed for Metz" he told
her, "and there we'll change to an
other plane which I'll fly into Ger

How far?" she asked.
Just outside of Berlin" he an

to see you. I didn't know you were
