Neil Lundquist saw the appeal in

and you've got to be careful how
you move" he said slowly. But
you're right about the police"
A grim note crept into his voice.
This might take a little action

case, but it'll take little thought

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

ON WEDNESDAY Molla had a
telephone call from Kurt. He was
leaving the city for a while. A
week. but he would see her when
he returned.
She was wondering where Kurt
was going when she was called into
Neil Lundquist's Office.
Hello" he said cheerfully
Haven't seen you in some time.
Where've you been? I've missed
you"
Thank you. Mr.. Lundquist, +"
Molla said, but I've been here
every day"
well, at least I'll know It for
the next couple Of days. You prob
ably won't like II, but I've been
wished onto you. I've got to get
out some estimates and you're sup
posed to do some statistical dig
ging for me. Terribly boring stuff"
Molla found the work wasn't ex-
actly boring, but it left her too
much to her thoughts, especially
since the telephone reminder that
Kurt Wilhelm had re-entered her
life.
Neil had to speak to her twice
before she heard him. He walked
over to the desk she was occupying
and sat down on the corner.
"Molla. something's bothering
you.' he said abruptly. Can
help?"
"oh. no-there's nothing" She
stopped then, her lips apart, look
ing at him. Something in his quiet
ruggedness, his calm, searching
blue eyes seemed to snap a release
spring within her.
Before she knew It there we're
tears mounting into her eyes.
Swiftly he took her shoulders In
his hands. "Okay. let's have it.
Everything" he said in low voice.
I'm a swell listener. Lonesome
New York too much for your"
She shook her head and took a
deep breath. There was no turning
back now. Sooner or later she |

am even more afraid of what may
happen to my mother in Oslo, my
family. even my friends"
He stared at her incredulously
then STROBE TO the door anc
locked it.
Neil almost pushed her into q
chair "All right, from beginning &c
end, now"
She clasped her hands together
until the knuckles showed white.
THE beginning? The beginning
goes back to 1919" Molla began ir
a low voice. You have heard, OF
course, that thousands Of German
boys and girls who were orphaned
in the war almost starved to death
Hundreds Of those children were
brought up to Norway and Den
mark by kind families. They were
adopted and actually raised as
Norwegian and Danish sons and
daughters.
"One such boy was Kurt Will

Molla smiled a crooked little
smile and paused for a moment.

Any substantial American expedi-

The heavy demand on British and

goods to the anti-Axis countries has
changed the picture since the World
War, said a report by the association

The report estimated that 7,0O0,-
