to either side to see if there were
signs of destruction. But at first
there were none, at least none Of re-
cent date, and all debris had been
cleared away.
Above her she could hear the drone
of motors and the arches thunder
ing a drum-fire barrage. Occasional
ly piece of steel would whistle down
from one of the bursting shells and
drop with thud nearby. This indi-
Gated that the raiders could not be
far away. She could clearly distin-
guish, over the din of anti-aircraft
guns, heavier explosions of bombs in
front of her and coming closer. She
stopped her car and got to the ground
so as to hear better. An incendiary
bomb dropped not three hundred
yards up the road, and another even
nearer, followed in quick succession
by high explosives at two hundred
yards. They were coming directly
over her, the sound of their motors
beating in her ears.
Instinctively Wendy crouched on
one knee between the ambulance and
a brick wall, waiting with drawn
breath and pounding heart for the
next crash. 1t came, and the force
of it knocked her to the ground. Spin
tiers of steel, broken glass and bricks
whistled above her, and the dust set
tied on her prone body.
Hutchinson awoke at break of day,
reused from his tormented, dream
filled slumber by the noise of airplane
motors. Or was this just another
dream. No, there they were as plain

They were such courageous girls, and
at times inclined to be reckless.
The doctor told Wendy that every
thing was arranged, and asked her in
for a bite of breakfast and wash.
"You won't mind, my dear, if an old
friend of the family tells you that
your face is frightfully dirty"
She said that it didn't matter, that
she was not hungry, and that she
preferred to complete her mission as
quickly as possible. The fact was
that she wanted the doctor to treat
the wounded she had just brought in,
instead of busying himself with her.
GAS you wish, my DEAR" he said.
II shall send the men out Immediate
ly. There are four officers and one
civilian. Drop him off at the Wind
sor Hospital, please. The officers
are for your mother. And please
give her my compliments. The pa
tients could go as sitting cases, but
it is long trip and l prefer to have
them on stretchers." He paid his
respects and re-entered the hospital.
Wendy glanced at herself hastily
in a pocket mirror. Good heavens!
She was filthy. Well, she would take
her place at the wheel and avoid be-
ing seen. The orderlies knew how to
run in the stretchers and close the
doors.
She took her seat and gnawed hun
grily at bar of chocolate and some
stale bread, thinking that cup of
hot tea would have been about the
most welcomed thing in the world.
But there wasn't time now. Already
the first of the stretchers was being
borne through the door.
Wendy pulled herself back in the
seat where she was out of sight, and
counted the stretchers as they were
loaded. One, two, three, four, five.
The doors clicked shut and an orderly
came forward to report that all was
well, and to respectfully wish her a
good trip.
It would be quicker to go around
London than through it, Wendy de-
cided. Besides, she had to pass Wind
sor, we'll to the west of the capital,
to drop the civilian case.
Her car was running smoothly and
the road, which she knew well, was
good, so she was able to make fast
time. By hurried calculation she
figured that she could be at home for
luncheon. She would have the much
needed wash, eat bite, and return
to Watford we'll before shutdown.

the drone Of motors was far away
and she was safe for the moment at
least. Gingerly she moved or felt
different joints and bones. She twist
ed her neck back and forth and found
it in working order. Fingers work
ed, and she wiggled her toes in the
heavy boots.
AS everything was right and in it's
proper place, she got to her feet and
looked around. She could see for
some distance in the dim gray light
of dawn, and there seemed to be
nothing living. Perhaps this district
had been evacuated. Or were the in
habitants sleeping in shelters. The
acrid smell of smoke and exploded
powder was strong, and mingled with
other odors, brickdust, fresh turned
earth, and mortar-dust. Behind her
a bomb had thrown a house across
the road and set it on fire. There
was no return possible in that direc-

was not blocked, for in this case she
would be in bad way. Wendy could
escape herself, over the walls, but
abandoning a car is the last thing an
ambulance driver wants to do, espec-
tally when everything on wheels was
so necessary to the country.
The ambulance was covered with
dust and glass splinters, and a bomb
fragrant had cut clean hole through
the side. The motor, however, was
untouched and Wendy soon had it
going. 1t seemed to her that the
only thing to do was run slowly for
ward to see if she could find some
wounded. There must be many

somewhere after all that fuss. The
drone of approaching planes made
her cut the motor and return to her
crouching position beside it. They
came over low, following in the di-
rections of the bombers, and so fast
that she barely had time to make out
their British marking before they
were gone again. Raj. fighters!
She jumped to her feet and waved
to them frantically as they disap-
peared. Bravo! Bravo!" she shouted
in unbounded, spontaneous enthus-
iasm.
Wendy saw man running down
the road towards her as she turned
to climb into the car again. Blood
covered his left cheek and he was
gesticulating wildly. He was out of
breath and slightly deranged when he
reached the ambulance. please,
lady," he gasped. "Come quick
please-hurry-wife and two children
-wounded-just up the road!"
Get in" He started around to the
back. "No, here beside me-" The
man obeyed. "Is the road open?"
eyes, Miss"
AS they moved forward he talked.
1t seemed to quiet his nerves, and
Wendy let him speak without inter-
ruption. "Wife and two children
badly hurt, but we're lucky. Next
house to ours four killed out of six
other two badly wounded. There,
Miss" He indicated the small, dingy
house of a laborer. Indeed it had
been badly smashed, but the one next
door was even worse, and further a.
long the row two were in flames.
Nobody in the other houses" the
man said, jumping to the ground.
Gust these two. l looked in 'em all.
Must ha' gone to the shelter. We
didn't hear no sirens. Gettin' used to
'em, l guess" He ran into his house.
Wendy grabbed a first aid kit and
followed.
The man had slight head wound,
but was regaining some of his calm
and was able to help with those who
were more severely hurt. He fetched
three stretchers from the car and
lent rather clumsy hand to the ban
daging. Wendy was forced to put

SYNOPSIS

-
david Hutchinson, American avia-
tor with the Royal Air Force "HOr-
nets, makes a forced landing on a
golf course in Kent, England, where
he meets lovely Wendy Bruce, on
leave from the Ambulance Corps
Just as David finishes repairing his
plane, he hears that familiar drOne
in the sky. Seeing three Messer-
schmidts chasing one Spitfire, he flies
off to join in the fight. Wendy
stands rooted to the spot, watching
the battle till the planes disappear
in the clouds. Then she wends her
way to "The Downs, ancestral home
of her father, Lord HarrOwdale. War
had changed the luxurious mode of
life at "The Downs" for all were do
ing their bit; his LOrdship was an air
raid warden, while Lady HarrOwsdale
directed the local hospital. Wendy
can't get the American out of her
mind; even now he might be lying
on the ground somewhere, wounded
or dead. Arriving home she finds
her brother, Philip, there on leave
impatiently waiting for an Opening"

Could it be David? Wendy wonders.
Philip has promised to let her know
if it was. When he telephones that

In the meantime, Hutch has returned
to his base, only to learn that his

Two of Hutch's buddies, Arthur Stat
ford and Rusty RansOme, do their
best to cheer him up. Word comes
that a fleet of bOmbers was sighted
over Hastings. Hutch is made squad
ron leader in Macs place, and pre-
pares to take off fer the attack. Just
as they are leaving, Philip joins them.
In flight, Hutch radios welcome.
After brief encounter, an anti-air-
craft crew reports that three bomb
ers fell in the vicinity, so the Com
handing Officer credits the Hornets.
Hutch goes to the hospital with a
shoulder wound. Tossing on his cot
a parade of memories, pleasant and
unpleasant, passes through his mind
outstanding among his thoughts is
Wendy. Now the visit he proposed
through her brother would have to
be delayed. Wendy, on the other
hand, returning from her furlOugf
to Watford, can think of nothing but
David. She is in love, and wonders
what her parents would think if she
married the American instead OF

a prospective sOni-n-law.

CHAPTER 6

The ambulances were not sent out
until morning. A little after five
o'clock, Miss Gill woke up the driv.
ers. London has had a very baG
raid,' she said. GIVE just had a cal
for all available cars. Comb the
streets and, when you have as many
wounded as you can carry, take them
to st. Adams Hospital or bring them
here for first aid. Split up when you
get in town, and run from here in con
voy at one hundred yard intervals
I'll go in Car No. 1. Hurry!"
It was still dark when the convoy
passed out into the cold morning and
strung along the road as instructed.
Despite the fact that they were run
ming without lights, the convoy held
a good pace and progressed rapidly.
Long before reaching London prop
er, Wendy could see the glow from
freshly lit fires and flashes from the
arches. Now and again she could
hear them rumbling off in the dis
lance when the wind was from the
right direction. Enemy bombers
must still be attacking, but soon day.
light would come and the pursuit
planes of the Raj. would chase the
Nazis back across the Channel. She
wondered if Hutch and her brother
would be up fighting somewhere in
the sky above her. The thought
made cold sweat stand out on her
forehead. If she saw an English
plane shot down she would feel sure
it was David-or Phil.
AS they advanced, the glow grew
brighter and grimmer, and soon
clouds of smoke were visible, then
the flames themselves.
When they were in the outskirts
of the town, the Section Leader halt
ed the convoy and ran back to the
five cars bringing up the rear. She
ordered these cars to spread out i'm
mediately as fires indicated that there
had been heavy bombing here. The
next five cars, which included Wen
dy's, would follow the convoy for an
other two miles before spreading.
The others would continue until fur
Their orders. She ran back to her
place and blew on whistle the signal
to advance.
Wendy was driving the last car of
the five that were to drop out and
scatter next. She watched those a.
head of her turn off, and, after they
had gone, chose a narrow road to the
left. For some distance she moved
along it cautiously, looking ahead and

they were headed in the direction of
! London, but this was difficult to say
as he did not have his exact bearings
yet. Certainly they were Raj.
fighters, might even be the Hornets
his squadron. This was bitter
thought and he made wry face. His
squadron, and he wasn't even with
it. "Blast the luck!"
In spite of the bad night he felt
stronger, and told the doctor so when
he came in for an early morning Wis
it. "Good," the medical man said.
"I'm glad of that, particularly as I
will have to transfer you today to a
place further away from town. We
have tc keep cleared out here for
emergency cases, and call came thru
few minutes ago that there are a
number on their way from London.
Bad raids last night, very bad. Now,
let me have look at your shoulder"
He took off the bandages, swabbed
out the wound, and put on fresh ones.
with luck, young man, an provid-
ed you take the proper care of your
self, you will be back in the air by
the end of a fortnight"
81 hope so, Captain. Thank you"
Goodbye and good luck. 1 shall
send an orderly for you when there is
place in an ambulance. You will
go to hospital down in Kent. Ex-
cellent place, run by very old friend
of mine, Lady Harrowsdale. Good
bye again."
If David had known that this wo-
man was the mother of the girl he
had met on the golf links the day be-
fore, he would in all probability have
shown more enthusiasm. AS it was,
he waved his good hand to the doc
tor and said, without much interest,
that he was sure the place would be
wizard.

Wendy pushed herself to a sitting
position when she was sure that the
last of the bombers had passed. She
had been slightly stunned by the ter
rifle conclusion, but had had enough
presence of mind not to stir. Now

General Marshal Replies

General Marshall repied advis- ing MT. Dole, as chairman of The National Ski Patrol System, that the members acting as a volun- ter agency should be prepared to become fully familiar with local terrain, to locate exiting shelter and to experiment with means of shelter, such as light tents, which may be found suit able for the sustained field opera tions of the military ski patrols; to perfect an organization pre- pared to furnish guides to the Army in event of training or of actual operations in the local areas; and to cooperate with the Army in extending the anti-air- craft warnings and anti-para- chute defense systems into com paratively inaccessible areas"
 Confirming and amplifyiny this advice, the War Department, through General E. s. Adams, has just issued a communication marked Imm diate action to com manding generals designated to conduct training. This order ap- nrOVeS the offer of The National Ski Patrol System to act as a volunteer group in the defense program, and advises command CTS that accredited representativ- es of the System will contact them to assist in technical train ing, in the selection of equipment and in making plans for a system of home defense near the north ern boundary of the country.

Zones To Be Drawn

The communication establish ed as the main duty of the Sys- tenn to divide the snow country into zones and to become thor oughly familiar with the terrain. Thus in case of emergency guid es would be ready, andj anti aircraft and anti-parachute pat rols could be immediately es- tablished.
 In closing, the Army order stated: Military personnel is en joined to develope this cordial relationship to the end that na- tional defense receive the full benefit of the technical know ledge and experience of the pat riotic civilians concerned"
 To carry out the heavy organ ization work entailed by the new duties, the National Ski Patrol
