"Ill never be able to thank
you enough for what you just
did, she said. There were tears
of gratitude in her blue eyes.
Il was blad TO do it," the boy
said, and sat down suddenly on
the running board of his car. Il
was scared stiff and l don't
mind admitting it.
Judith sat down by him. She
unfastened small jeWeled
watch on her wrist; il was gift
from Tom on her last birthday.
She reached for his hand and
dropped the watch into his
palm.
This is for you. Give it to
your best girl friend"
Gee, lady, I couldn't take
that he objected and tried to
give the watch back to her.
You don't owe me anything
more"
II owe my life and what am
carrying to San Diego to you.
And | want you to have this lit
tic token-at least, want the
girl you love to have it, She
made him take it," She loved
the little jeweled' piece; it was
her dearest possession. ANY
time you hear Of Judith Kingsly.

In a few minutes they were
off again.
II know a different route to
the city and we'll take it," he
said. "Of course, it's longer and
rougher but sure don't want
TO run into those men again..
Several hours later they
reached San Diego. 1t was still
dark, and Judith was almost UNI
conscious from WEAKNESS and
lack of sleep.
Here in the city, she thought.
her pursuers surely could not
catch I'D with her. She decided
to get some sleep and 60 to the
airplane factory in the morning.
She asked the youth to drive
her to a hotel. When they found
one, she thanked him again. and
stumbled YEARLY to the desk to
get Q room.

then her cool-headedness took
over, pushing back the threaten
ing Mysteries.
IF you don't mind, I'll Just
hide while you fix that flat. I'm
not taking any chances.
This will be the quickest
change l ever made" There was
haste in his actions, but even so,
it was slow going in the dark.
Judith found protection under
a culvert and huddled there, al
most paralyzed with fear. If she
ever go: out Of this, she told her
self. she would never claim that
she loved danger again. She
would lead a peaceful, quiet life.
That thought brought Tom Burke
to her mind. But before she had
time to dwell on him, she heard
the hum Of a motor approaching
from around the mountain. AL
most Immediately, the car roared
over her hiding place and came
TO a squealing stop by the boy.

demanded a voice she recognized
as Hcavys. The car door banged
as h got out.
Not now" the boy said. IL did
have a girl | was taking 10 San
Diego. But when / got this flat,
she hoped another car going by
and left me. After ro.nising to
pay me, too"
WAS she redhead?"

way, Judith opened her purse
and drew out some bills.
I'll pay you now, in ad-
vance" she told him. II anything
went wrong she wanted the boy
TO have his pay.
"Oh | trust you" he assured
her. But he took the money and
pocketed it. II should have plen-
ty of time TO get you to the city
and be back here by 7 to open
up"
Drive as fast as you like, "
she said smiling, 1.-The faster the
better. I'm in hurry, and you
seem TO be a good driver"
Sure" he said, pressing hard
on the accclerator. Nom won I
ever ride over 30 with me-"
Judith held her breath but
never uttered a sound as they
wound around the mountains,
climbing steep inclnes and
scooting down again. Confident
in the boys driving, she relaxed
and dozed.a few minutes.
Suddenly, she awoke with a
scream Of terror.
ITS only a tire, lady" he said
hurriedly and brought e. car
10 a jolting stop by the side Of
the road. 1T won't take me long
TO fix il"
But Judith was shaking when
she stepped from the car. She
stared behind them, but only
darkness met her eyes.
Look" she began impuisiveiy
as he prepared TO change his tire.
"Ill be honest with you. There
are some spies after me and II
they catch me, il will mean harm
TO the government as we'll as the
end of my life"
The young man Strengthened
with a jerk and gulped.
They were back there at the
camp when we left town"
"Oh, my gosh" he exclaimed
hoarsely. That's MONS camp

Sermon at Cathedral
Broadcast 10 Czechs

"You cannot go to Lidice because
1t no longer exists" the Rev.
Charles w. F. Smith. canon mis-
sioner of Washington Cathedral,
said in sermon yesterday, but
we shall fight on in the name Of
this Inflated Czech city and other
destroyed cities and peoples whose
ruins and blood cry to God from
the ground"
DR.. Smith, whose sermon on
"Lidice Lives" was broadcast by
short wave to the people of Czecho-
slovakia, said that when Lidice
lived we never heard of it, but now
that it is dead it will continue to
live in our awareness."
The tragedy of our times he
said, lis not that we have gone
back to the dark ages of a thousand
years ago much less to the time
when the worlds greatest crime
wrought our salvation In the cross,
but to three millenia and more ago.
Those who claim to be estab-
fishing a new order not only deny
the principles of Jesus, which we
ourselves fall short of, but also re-
fuse the simple justice which Moses
proclaimed and which we obtain
In our courts of law"
