Kay'S heart rose as she caught
the undercurrent of wretched lone
illness in Stover's cynical bravado.
"You shouldn't have been con-
demned," she said with deep SYM
pathy The captain and the colonel
have been unjust, brutal. They be-
lieve, because you were arrested by
F.. B. I. agents after the raid on
the Old World Restaurant, that you
allowed yourself to become suspected
and in that way failed the System"
Stover's voice was hoarse. who
are you?'
I'm a friend" Kay said. Il know
the Systems plans and I want you
to help me keep them from being
carried out"
Stover stiffened in the darkness.
so that's it," he grunted. Don't
be a fool"
But, if we succeed you won't
have to die" Kay persisted.
Let me alone!" Stover snapped.
mo matter what the System does
to me, it's served my purpose.
Through it I've squared accounts
with the Government that bounded
me out of jobs that meant every
thing in the world to me-
Kay Remembers.
KAY remembered her last talk
with Stanley of the F. B. I. He had
said that young Stover had been
assistant plant supervisor In two
different factories making planes
for the Army. But. due to his head
strong disregard of certain regula-
tions, the War Department had been
forced to have him removed. OBJ
viously, then, revenge had been his
motive for turning traitor.
IT know all about you, Phillip"
she told him. II know your mother.
1 know you've broken her heart.
She doesn't know you're a spy.
When she learns it it will kill her.
Stover seemed to writhe. Shut

Kay's eyes flicked again to the
speeding minute hand of his watch.
Her heart sank.
Your mother belongs in this,
Phillip" she lashed at him mercl-
lessly. so do millions of other
mothers who are going to suffer hor-
ror and tragedy because you, an
American, sold out your country to
a group of foreign powers, who care
nothing for the lives of men, women
or children so long as their brutal
plot to rule the world succeeds. And
now, when they no longer need you.
they're going to leave you to drown
like rat in trap"
Kay's attack loosened the armor
of cynicism with which young Slower
had cloaked himself.
Kay Is Desperate.
There's a short-wave sending set
out there in the cabin, Phillip"
Kay continued. AT exactly 11:04,
D-Hour, the colonel, will send out
signal. His agents stationed In secret
control points all over the country
will be waiting. When they receive
the signal they will throw switches
that will set off the explosives and
incendiaries hidden in the tunnels
the System has drilled under all
plane factories in the United States
under every depot for Army and
Navy planes"
Il know, I know!' Stover's voice
broke. And nothing can stop them
now"
But they can be stopped, Phillip!
You and 1 can stop them, before
they start. Help me, Phillip, and we
can!"
Slower wavered. The dull glow
of his watch moved upward as he
paved at his trembling chin. Kay
saw she had won. She gave him no

"Your coat" she snapped. Take

Stover complied dumbly Kay
snatched the garment from him and
felt her way through the darkness
to the door chat led to the cabin
where the captain and the colonel
were. Young Stover knelt beside
her as she wadded the coat into a
ball and placed it at the bottom Of
the door.
Whats your plan?" he whispered
hoarsely.
"It's simple-if it works." Kay
whispered back. What time is it?"
Stover held up his watch. Kay's
eyes swung to it, then away. An icy
feeling settled in the pit of her
stomach. Her hand trembled as she

Jackson CautionsU.S
AGAINST Premature
Sabotage Charges
Discovers No Evidence
Of Organized Attack
On Defense Plants
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Attorney General Jackson today
advised the public against being too
quick in assuming that every in
duStrial fire or explosion was the
work of saboteurs.
Industry is engaged in a great
and sudden speedup which results
in accidents" Mr.. Jackson said in
an interview. There have been
many occurrences in which it will be
difficult to determine whether they
were sabotage or accidental"
Explosions in powder plants, fires
at Shipbuilding yards and factories
vital to defense preparation, and
similar industrial mishaps have
drawn wide attention in recent
weeks. Justice Department officials
have explained that thus far no evil
dence of concerted or organized
sabotage had been disclosed.
Many men are being called to
work who have long been idle, and
their skills have suffered" the At
torney General said Experiments
are being undertaken by industry to
increase production. All these things
tend to increase the number of in
duStrial accidents which have seri-
Gus consequences"
He added that while they might
"easily be attributed to sabotage"
it would be better to await the re-
suits of thorough investigation.
In that field the Federal Bureau
of Investigation has been very &C
tive. F. B. 1. officials have said
privately that there definitely had
been no organized attempts to dis
rupt production and that the "situ-
alton is well in hand" in event for
