The best way to get from Water

This route takes you by the turn
off for Balls Bluff Battlefield, |
mile north of Leesburg. The bat
tie of Balls Bluff was small affair
as battles go, but it has the inter-
esting distinction of having been
fought practically in the Potomac
River. A Union raiding band of
about 1900 men tried to cross into
Virginia at this point, but met stiff
resistance on the bluff and were
driven back inch by inch across the
river by the Confederates. On the
bluff is small national cemetery,
which contains the graves of So
unknown Union soldiers and one
known soldier, who were killed in
this action.

And .Nedya said coldly, Eyes, go
with her Philip"
A dim light glowed overhead in
the passageway as Phil walked
with Babs to the far end of the
passage to the door opposite his
stateroom.
Babs said in a stage whisper,
"This is the SPIT where the crime
was committed. The one unoccu-
pied stateroom."
Phil looked at her doubtfully, but
he saw that she was in earnest. He
opened the door, flung it wide. A
man was kneeling before a steamer
trunk which stood on end and
opened. Phil had a glimpse of what
was in the trunk, a portable Short
wave radio sending set Then in
that instant the man was on his feet
and whirling.
"So-Cavanaugh" Phil said.
Babs to The Rescue.
Bert Cavanaugh's face flushed a
dull red. He looked from Phil to
Babs, then back at Phil again. Phil
started at him, but Cavanaugh' s
hand darted under his coat and ap-
peared again clutching an auto
matte.
mo you dont!" Cavanaugh said
savagely. Stand where you are!"
Babs scream rang out behind
Phil. He was upon Cavanaugh then,
striking a blow at the mans chin.
His first landed solidly as the gun
exploded. Cavanaugh reeled back
against the trunk and sent it top
pling over with a crash. He fell
with it, and Phil threw himself
upon him to wrench the gun away
Cavanaugh fought savagely, striking
out with the gun. Its barrel struck
a glancing blow against Phil's head
and the pain of it was sharp and
deep. Graphing, they rolled away
from the trunk as each man strup-
gled to place the other underneath
Cavanaugh got grip on Phirs
throat and started a blow with the
gun.
The Crisis Comes.
Babs was standing over them
then, grabbing at the gun and
wrenching it away As Cavanaugh
lost his gun, Phil heaved him aside
and got to his feet Cavanaugh was
instantly up and at him, and they
fought back and forth across the
almost dark. room. Phil got in a
solid punch to Cavanaugh's Jaw,
and the man went down to his
knees.
"Babs! The gun" Phil called
She was at his side pressing it
into his hand as Cavanaugh rose.
Phil swung its blunt nose in line
with Cavanaugh's middle.

The city of Washington is ex-
tremely fortunate in its recreational
motoring situation. Every type of
motoring except the Alpine variety
is offered within 100 miles of Wash
ington. A drive in any direction
discloses a beauty of scene and a
wealth of man-made landmarks
probably unequaled in the environs
of any other Middle Atlantic city.
This tour today picked almost at
1s.s, is representative of dozen
or so similar, and equally interest
ing. afternoon drives.
There are two ways of getting
started on this drive. The main
way is to cross the Key Bridge and
follow U. S. 211 to Falls Church,
where you turn right at the stop
light on Va. No. 7. However, if you
live in the Northwest section of
Washington you may want to vary
this by crossing the Potomac at
Chain Bridge, turning right on the
Virginia side and bearing right
again at Langley. This brings you
out on the main road (Va. No. y at
DraneSville. This road is narrow
and rolling and should not be used
for speed.
A small Civil War engagement in
which "Jeb" Stuart figured was
fought around DraneSville. The
next few miles take you from the
Civil War to Revolutionary days.
The estate of Belmont, on the left,

Leesburg itself is country cross

Saturday night, you would think it
were $50 miles from the Nations
Capital, rather than 35.

unusual towns in Washington S

Leesburg, turn right at the first

Waterford is nestled in the hills

1t seems as natural as the hills and
the stream. Few places offer such
a harmonious mixture of the handi-

town, Waterford is springing back
to life after being "discovered" by
group of Washington architects and
