II Short Story Complete in This Issue

x When the train stopped at the Portu-
- guese border, he had waited until the
Spanish customs officers cleared his luggage
Then, when the conductor told him the train
wouldn't start up again for another quarter
hour, he had got out to stretch his legs on the
platform I'm on neutral ground, he told
himself happily. A country at peace. In a
few hours III be in Lisbon, where I'll see
American ships riding at anchor. In seventy
two hours I'll be in New York.
There was a rowdy group of young Spanish
fascists on the platform, seeing off friend
on the Madrid train. One of them, more than
half drunk, bumped against Roger, almost
upsetting them both. Although it was the
others fault, Roger mumbled an apology
and walked on.
But the Spaniard followed him. calling
him something in his own language which
brought boisterous laugh from the Span
iards companions. Before Roger could make
out what was happening, they had surround
ed him, jostling him, snarling epithets he
needed no understanding of Spanish to inter
pret as insults When he tried to reason with
them in English, that only aggravated their
bullying. The way to his train was blocked;
he looked about, in vain, for help.
And then all at once, out of nowhere,
appeared the English girl, elbowing through
the circle, shouting: Americana. No Ingles.
Americana ambulancia pioto!" The brawling
Spaniards fell back, the girl grabbed Rogers
arm and hustled him onto his train - none
too soon. The engine whistled, chugged,
crossed the border into Portugal
OAFE in his compartment, where the girl
had followed him, Roger caught his breath.
What was it all about?"
They took you for an Englishman. Your
uniform is almost like an English officers,
and they aren't too popular just now in
Spain"
Roger tried to thank her. Lucky thing you
happened along No telling what might have
happened if you hadn't. How did you know
was an Americana
She pointed to his sleeve Insignia American
Ambulance Corps.
Beginning with her agreeably friendly
smile, Roger took his first good look at his
Oberon, but unmistakably attractive in that
crisp, clean-cut British manner. Her name, it
developed, was Cynthia Cooke She had been
studying languages at Grenoble and hadn't
let herself believe that the Germans would
ever get that far. Now, belatedly she was
trying to get home to England.
Cynthia, for her part, learned that Roger
had enlisted three months before - from
Syracuse, New York - with the American
Field Service in France. He and his ambu-
lance-mate had made one too many trips into
the combat area, and were caught by the
German advance. For six weeks they were
shunted back and forth. under custody of

lines, forced to serve as interpreters Finally,
