gaps in the enemy's forward de-
tense wall of the Ell Alamein
line, 80 miles west of Alexan-

British headquarters failed to
note any new gains and gave the
following terse description of the
desert battle:
During the night Of Oct. IT.

our positions and was beaten off.
Yesterday there were some
! minor tank engagements in
which damage was inflicted on
the enemy.
Fighting continues"
While the British communique
indicated that Nazi Field Mar

back, Italian field headquarters
stressed the fury of the British
9th Army's assault.
1.-THE bitter struggle which
for several days has been fought
on the Ell Alamein front Of Egypt
continued yesterday with pow
erful enemy attacks against

lent resistance" the Fascist
Command said.

The German High Command
likewise emphasized the weight
of the British offensive, declar-
ing:
Bitter fighting in Egypt in

day of the defensive battle.
Despite extremely heavy at
tack. The enemy failed to
gin success owning to the stiff
resistance put up by German and

CHAPTER FORTY

DR.. Thomas Dare, like Tibpy,
was to find that that announce
ment in black and white seemed to
settle everything. but not in the
way that Steena, in persuading
him to allow 1t, had predicted. To
begin with. apparently all Of his
co-workers at the clinic had read
II. When he arrived for duty that
morning, he was besieged upon
every side by congratulations, best
wishes. slaps on the back and wide
grins.
"When's the wedding to take
olace, old man."
"Going to celebrate with cham
payne? Don't forget me, will you?"
Say, you've done right we'll by
yourself-this Miss Winters moth
er married Jerome Davenport, and
that old bird has money and influ-
ence when are we going to
get to see the lucky girl, Dare?"
Hes the lucky one-if we get
n this blamed WARMTH the way
The Japs are acting up-never did
trust those beggars-Tommy won't
be among the first to have to go
not with a wife to support"
They say she's beauty, how
did YOU ever manage :"
And so on and so on until Tommy
felt like blowing up. Only he could
not He could not tell them that 1t
was Just a put-up Job, a frame-up
or was he the one framed? What
u, as he had thought before, he
could not get out of this entangle-
ment? Had libby read it in the
morning papers? If so, what was
she thinking? Would he ever be
able to make her understandable
heck with the rest Of the world.
Tommy was to find it was easier
10 say that than to carry it out.
Steena phoned him later In the
day to inform him that she, too,
had been in for her share Of the
consequences caused by that same
announcement. She informed him
that he had to go to dinner that
aight at the Jerome Davenports.
Mother Is Wild" Steena said.
"She insists I bring you in town
Immediately as she wants to see
The young man am going to
marry. She wants my stepfather to

But I'm not going to marry

realized that someone might over

strange. He added hastily. AT
east not today. What's the big
iurry?" He did not want to be
ooked over by Steena's stepfather.

Steena's lookout, not Tommy's.
Mothers like that" Steena ex-
planned. impatient and imperative.

He saw II was no use; he sup
posed he would have to, but he was
not going to keep on having to do
these things he did not want to do
1t all. Was he man or a mouse ?
He said, How about Tibbyf Did
she read It too? Did she have any,
thing to say?"
Steena said that libby had read

nimselr engaged 10 someone else
when what he wanted was to be
engaged to her.
He said, "Thanks-but well, all Is
not gold that glitters-remem-
Der ?" That was a silly remark, but
he remembered her having said
that to him, the first time he had
seen Steena, wearing her gold
dress. libby had said it to remind
Tommy that Steena might look
beautiful. but that she might be
dangerous. Tommy had learned
that to his own sorrow.
Il don't know Just what you
mean" libby returned, still wear
ing that bright, fixed smile.
"Steena is late. Won't you Just SIT

thing. I'll have to ask to be ex-
cused as l have to dress. am 60

magazine. So libby was going out.
too, was she? He did not want that,
either. He said, Cant you talk a
second or so? You've got coolies OF
time. You look very nice, just as
you are" She did look nice; she
was wearing new dress, very SIM
pie but very swank. It was one she
had bought that afternoon, al
though Tommy did not know that.
It should have looked simple and
swank, because that was why she
had bought 1t. He said. trying to
drop another hint, since the first
had fallen short, you know an
engagement does not always mean
what it appears to mean on the
surface. What mean Is that it can
be broken off-you know" he
grinned foolishly. wearing his
sheepish expression. for he knew
he was doing this very poorly,
there's many slip twixt the lip
and the cup'-or however that old
thing goes"

a prim little line. She meant that

then withdrawing his proposal. But
she did not think there would be
any slip this time, not with Steena.
She said. by the way. I am en-
gagged to be married, too" Care
lessly, casually she spoke, as If she
were not dropping a bomb.
That was how Tommy took IL
You're not" he fairly exploded.
Il most certainly am" libby ex-
tended one hand. II bore an enor-
nous ring, a pearl surrounded by
sapphires. 1t was conclusive proof,
as authentic as any newspaper an
nouncement.
Tommy stared at II as IL he had
been knocked senseless. He prac-
tically had, for this was not the
way things were supposed to work
out. 1t was the way, however, he
had been afraid they might.
Aren't you going to wish ME
happiness?" libby demanded.
But you can't marry someone
else" Tommy said.
But l am" libby said. IT was
engaged to Wayne before you got
engaged to Steena, but maybe you
won't believe that"

ly asked her to tell Tommy tnat
she congratulated him.
Tommy groaned; he had had
enough congratulations-too many.
Besides. that did not sound as il
libby meant to do something about
it. as Steena had predicted. 1t did
not sound good to him at all. He
said as much to Steena in no un-
certain terms. That's hne," he
said. That's Just dandy. Now
where do we go from here?"
1--WE go to mothers for dinner at
eight tonight" Steena had all the
answers. Call for me at seven
thirty. I may be few minutes late
as I'm doing some publicity today.
But you be on time-mother is a
stickler for punctuality. And Of
course it's find and dandy. Tommy.
libby took 1t exactly the way /
knew she would. She is terribly up
set. She'll do something. II you just
give her time"
Tommy hoped II would be the
right thing. He could not see how
it helped his cause to get lib up
set, but Steena had hung up on
him. Good Lord, he had not
thought, when he got himself en-
gagged, by proxy or however you
wanted to think Of it, TO Steena that
he would be getting himself en-
gagged to her mother as well. He
had always heard you did not just
marry the girl-you had to take
on a mother-in-law into the bar
gain. He had forgotten, as appar-
entity Steena had too, that she had
family.
He would be on time tonight,
however. Maybe he would have a
chance to see libby. especially II
Steena were delayed, as she had
said she might be. Maybe he could
say something to sort OF fix things
up with libby or drop a hint OF
some sort so she would not be SO
upset. At any rate, it would help
just to see her.
That was what he THOUGHT
until he did. He got there on time
good half hour ahead Of time to
be on the safe side. Steena had not
come In yet, either. And libby was
there. That certainly looked as il
at long-last Tommy were playing
in luck, except that it did not turr
out that way.
Maybe IL he had let we'll enough
alone and had not tried to dror
that hint or If libby had not start

campaign was ended all right, but
it was not the right ending.

QUARTERS. Australia, Aug. 13 -.
CUP)-Reports spread through Aus
tralia today that United States ma
rines were within sight of victory
in at least three key Solomon is
lands and on Guadalcanal, were
driving toward capture of the best
airdrome site in the entire area.
Can Australian broadcasting COM
mission correspondent said it was
believed the marines were breaking
the Japanese hold on Tulagi area,
that they had been strongly REIN
fored and that the Japanese had
been driven from many of their
positions in hand to hand fighting)
The marines were consolidating
positions in Tulagi, Florida and
Quadalcanal islands, reports to
Douglas MacArthur's headquarters
indicated, and might now have a
foothold on a fourth island prob
ably Malaita.
AIM AT AIRDROME
On Guadalcanal, the marines
were believed to be fighting across
five mile wide coastal plain on
the north shore, 171a miles across
the Sealark channel from Florida
and Tulagi, determined to take a
vitally valuable airdrome site nest
led among the mountainous south
ern Solomons.
Some of the most savage fighting
of the southwest Pacific war was
in progress on land, at sea and in
| the air.
The Japanese were battling des-
perately on this seventh day of
the battle of the Solomon islands,
in defense of their base against the
first great United States offensive,
backed by Allied aerial and naval
units.
So important did the battle loom
in the minds of Australians, that
it was believed the japanese might
at any time start a mad dog at
tack on the north coast of Aus
tralia as a diversion, aiming at the
great Allied base of Darwin.
