The girl did not move, but her

in a factory canteen. But last night
two Gestapo men were making in

been touched by the girls care of him.
In the darkened streets. her face
haunted Raeburn. He reproached
himself for having suggested to Gel
dart that behind her solicitude there
had been other motives. One glance at
her was enough to dissipate that wild
suspicion. Picturing her in the grip of
the Gestapo brought a tingle to his
nerves. Could nothing be done -
even at some risk to himself? A SHIN
mer of glass indicated a telephone
kiosk on the street, and he stepped in
to hunt for the address he wanted.
Back on the curb, he weighed the
chances. There was a risk "a bigger
risk than he was justified in taking.
But in Denmark tomorrow he would
be saving every split second to get
back to London; move tonight was
the only hope. He crossed to solitary
taxicab and gave an address.
At a tall sedate house in quiet
street. the door was opened by an
elderly manservant.

business"
But the servant shook his head.
1T is impossible to see DR.. Lotze

When the police officer returned he

Upstairs in a big, book-lined room.
Raeburn found himself in front of a
tall man with thick neck and a big
boned. ruddy face. His small black
eyes snapped with impotence.
Here are my credentials. DR..
Lotze." Raeburn pushed some papers
across the table. "And these are trade
contracts we're planning to divert to
Germany's use. I'm going back into
Denmark tonight to complete them"
Il can't discuss them now" said
the Gauleiter shortly.
Its another matter I've come
about, Herr Doktor. After these trade

He looked at the visiting card before

''Sit down, Herr Steuben. What

low tones, he was watching the clock.
The minute hand drew near to ten.
Lotze was late, he thought anxiously,
when he heard a voice behind him.

YES.
"A message from Herr G.. You

Before Raeburn could gather his
senses, the porter had gone; and. his

picked up his valise and her small bag.
Come on. Here's a taxi - we'll take

The farmers of Holmes county can
save many dollars in livestock value
this week, If they will provide a
warm shelter for their farm animals
Especially should protection be

3. Provide water-warm water for
