It's sad knowledge and little
enough gift to you, but it is so. No
rest at all"
Alex shut his eyes tightly. Mayor
Orden leaned close and kissed him
on the cheek "Goodby, Alex" he
said.
The guard took Alex by the arm
and the young man kept his eyes
tightly closed, and they guided him
through the door. The squad faced
about, and their feet marched away
down out of the house and into the
snow, and the snow muffled their
footsteps.
The men about the table were
silent. Orden looked toward the
window and saw little spot being
rubbed clear of snow by a quick
hand. He stared at it, fascinated,
and then he looked quickly away.
He said to the colonel. Il hope you
know what you are doing"
Capt. Loft gathered his papers
and Lanser asked, In the square,
captain?"
"Yes. in the square. 1t must be
public" Loft said.
And Orden said, IT hope you

three and a half times as many as
in April. Except for the peak hars
vest months of September and Octo-

total on record.
Since January, the service has
filled 2,400,0OO agricultural jobs,
nearly 18 per cent more than the pc
riod last year and 83 per cent more
than in the first five months of 1940
Mr.. McNutt said. however, the num-
Der of men and women registered
for the jobs with employment Offices
dropped during May for the fourth
consecutive month. The active file
of registrants stood at 4300,OO0 at
the end of May, about II per cent
smaller than the same time last
year.
In the District 6,400 placements
were recorded during May. an in
crease of per cent over May, 1941,
though drop of per cent from
April. A total Of 3010O placements
were made in the District during
the first five months of this year.
The file of registrants for the Dis

at the end of May, a decrease of As
per cent over the year period.

would have been the same. Are you
sorry you did it?" He said aside
to the table, 1T would look well in
the record if he were sorry
"Sorry?' Alex asked. I'm not
sorry. He told me to 60 to work
me, free man! I used to be alder
man. He said I had to work"
But if the sentence is death
won't you be sorry then?"
Alex sank his head and really tried
to think honestly. NO" he said.
You mean, would I do it again?"
That's what I mean
No" Alex said thoughtfully, Il
don't think I'm sorry"
Lanser said, Put in the record
that the prisoner was overcome with
remorse. Sentence is automatic. Do
you understand" he said to Alex.
The court has no leeway. The court
finds you guilty and sentences you to
be shot Immediately. I do not see
any reason to torture you with this
any more. Capt. Loft, is there any,
thing I have forgotten?"
you've forgotten me- said Orden.
He stood up and pushed back his
chair and stepped over to Alex. And
Alex, from long habit, stood up
respectfully. alexander, am the

"I know it, sir"
Alex, these men are invaders.

we know or not, it is what must be

Silence fell on the room and each
man listened. And it was not long.
From the distance there came a
crash of firing. Lanser sighed deep
ly. Orden put his hand to his fore
head and filled his lungs deeply.
Quick Response.
Then there was a shout outside.
The glass of the window crashed
inward and 1t. Prackle wheeled
about. He brought his hand up to
his shoulder and stared at it.
Lanser leaped up, crying, so. it

Lanser stopped in the middle of
an order. He looked over slowly
at the Mayor, and for a moment
they understood each other.
And then Lanser Strengthened his
shoulders. "A man of no men,
cries" he said sharply. And then:
Il want every weapon in town
gathered Bring in every one who
resists. Hurry before their tracks
are filled"
The staff found their helmets
and loosed their pistols and started
out
And Orden went to the broken
