Before The Blitzkrieg
by Rupert Grayson

Il guessed It might" Gun ad-
mitted, modestly.
When, later on, Trent came In,
they were both smoking cigarets.
Trent said with a smile:
$50 you filled your cases last
night, Ell? Well. I'm afraid they
won't last long! Have you anything
to say to me. Hazeldeane
II have mott" growled Tommy.
Except to ask just what the little
game is? I mean. stopping our sup
plies like this ?"
Trent smiled complacently.
"Oh, it's little invention Of my
own, you know. ] call il torture
by elimination One by one the VIC
tim is deprived OF all the ameni-
ties OF life-until he ceases to be
recalcitrant. 1t is surprising how
much-shall we say discomfort?
can be caused this way!"
And how far do you propose to
carry it?" demanded Tommy.
"Oh, quite long way! You will
save yourself a great deal OF dis
comfort by doing what we want
you to do right away-then you
can have all the drinks and smokes
you want!
IN see you in hell hrst!"
snarled Tommy.
LAS you like" said Trent, softly.
But l think youll have to change
your mind eventually"
He departed on that prophecy.
The next morning. on the break
fast table, was found a brief note:
"As from today, supplies OF milk,
sugar and butter will be discon-
tinued.-T."
The following day soup and fish
were knocked off, and the day after
green vegetables were stopped. And
the day after that the supply of hot
water ceased.
Tommy cursed and grumbled
Gun merely said:
There are plenty of poor out-of-
work devils in London who are go
ing through much the same sort of
thing"
From that day he began to store
bread in his cache. He had to take
it in small quantities to avoid sus-
picion. There was a supply Of clean
handkerchiefs in a drawer In the
bedroom, and he kept the bread in
some of these. dampened with
water.
On the same day Gun, who was
in. charge of stores, reduced the
cigaret ration to three a day.
These, of course, had to be smoked
in strict secrecy.
He had also. apparently. taken
to eating breakfast. The fact being,
however, that he was also storing
the rashers of bacon he was sup
posed to have eaten.
But you don't think he'll stop
our grub ?" Tommy gasped. con-
cernedly.
Most Of It. expect" was the
answer. But. of course, he can't
starve us to death, since as corp5es
we shan't be of any use to him.
The trouble is that the preliminary
stages of starvation are really the
worst and dare say we shall ex-
perience those. However. that's
more or less a detail. The thing
that's worrying me is that we've
been here for six days, and haven't
found out damned thing! But I've
got an idea in that connection,
which want to talk over with
you"
And for that, although they were
in the comparative seclusion of
mid lawn. he dropped his voice al
most to whisper.
