"Fay thinks you are wonderful.
She told me herself this morning
before breakfast"
IF you would mind your own

flushed, whether from anger or
embarrassment she did not care.
Peggy rose haughtily to her feet
and Missed, "All right. But I am
going to rescue her. II you want
to help, stroll around to the seat

Conspiracy was quite q hectic
business after lunch on a hot day,
but Peggy was young and full Of
energy and had an advantage over
the others, who all seemed quite
willing to lounge for awhile after
the meal.
The next move was to cut Fay of
from the odd few reclining on the
veranda. Before her conversation
with Myra she had enlisted herself
in the service Of Badly, thereby I'M

fact that she was an intelligent
mink, II a little young.
II think a girl Is crazy to refuse
your selp," Peggy had said.
Badly had loked at her with
out speaking, which was so UNI
usual and Peggy had continued.
"You want to see her alone?"
A snort Of disgust emerged
from Badly. He waved his cigar
at various figures in deep chairs.

the goods. If I can't get a chance
myself I'm not going to see any,

Badly was unconvinced. Long
experience with women had taught
him to look for the underside of any
conversation, but he took chance
and went to finish cigar near the
rockery.
When Peggy came back from
speaking to her brother she slipped
into a seat by Fay who was clos
ing her eyes for a few moments
of blissful rest. Nigel had parked
himself near her.
Fay" whispered Peggy secret
ly. Fay opened her eyes. Fay,
what would you do?"
At the question which arose in
Fay's eyes, Peggy looked around
as II everyone else, particularly
Nigel, were too near.
I'VE can't speak here. I wish
you know more about men
than I do :"
Fay responded with natural
generosity. She rose from her
chair and drifted away from the
veranda with Peggy. Nigel was
fast asleep and did not notice
their departure.
Lets go round to the rockery,"
said Peggy. Maybe there will be
no one there"
Fay waited for the condolences
that were coming.
"It's like this" said Peggy.
"Nigel is awfully nice. like
him and I think he likes me.
But I'm only seventeen and he is
twenty-five. Do you think ,"
She paused.

PEGGY PROGRESSES
CHAPTER w

Lunch on Saturday was q great
@iccss. The various n1lshaps and
conversations Of the morning had
welded the company together, and
even Badly found himself part and
parcel Of the party, no longer hos
9ile stranger barking ct the fringel
e the gathering.
He had emerged for lunch In
another complete and splashily
new outfit Of sports Stacks and
shirt. Michael Myra and Fay
had showered, Peggy and Nigel
had been collected. Ferdy had
done q quick caricature Of Badly
emerging in his new suit, carl
cature which impressed Badly so
much that he kept picking it up
and mutteying; 'Well, what do you
know about that?"
Badly tackled Fay Immediately
after lunch and Myr tackled Peg

that half the truth sometimes suf-

"For Michael?" echoed Myra.

that there was nothing like leav-

 Evacuate By Sea
 Rommel now was regarded as fac- ing the necessity of attempting an evacuation by sea, standing at bay for a final battle or of attempting to flee from Tripolitania into Tu- nisia, with or without the permis- sion of the Vichy government.
 British imperials already are op- erating in Tripolitania in the path of Rornmel's retreat and Scots and ColdStream guards have made con- tact with the enemy south of Age dabia.
 The strength of the imperiais operating in the line of Rommeps retreat was not known preciesly but British armored columns are known to have penetrated Tripolitania.
 The main axis force has been in and around Agedabia since ChrSit- mas week, when the British occu- pied Benghazi an ] moved on south ward in an attempt to cut Rommel's retreat and the arrival of his reen- forcements from Tripoli. Lately weather south of Banghazi has been most unfavorable for combat. First, there were heavy rains which turned the desert into quagmires. They were followed by sandstorms. Pursuit is Slow Headquarters said the progress of the pur 'ling forces was slow be- cause of bad weather and because the Germans had planted many mine fields to cover their retreat. However, the Scots and Coldstream guards established contact with the retreating troops about noon yester- | day about seven miles south of Age dabia. Further south the king s Dragoon guards and South African units, supported by armored vehi- cles, penetrated country previously held by the enemy.
 Penetrations by the imperials ranged in depth from 20 to 40 miles. The enemy was pushed back as the South Africans moved onto new l terrain.
 Sand storms also ragged on the Egypt-Libya frontier the communi- que said, but operations continued against remnants of axis forces 1 holding Halfaya Pass and Solum. Throughout yesterday the Royal Air Force "persister tly and success fully" attacked enemy positions at Halfaya.

 Hans Hauser, Pfeifers predecessor at Sun Valley and more recently a member of his staff.
 Pfeifer was arrested at Sun Val ley December 8 and Hauser was taken into custody the next day. Froelich was picked up at a Salt Lake City hotel a few hours after Americas declaration of war, on Germany.
 Federal authorities refused to comment on reports that several other skiing stars had been taken into custody. But before their an- nouncement, Froelichs detention be- came widely known because of his wife's activity.
 She had protested that his cell in the county jail, where he was being held, was improperly furnished. A truckload of furniture was sent to the jail for Froelich but authorities refused to accept it.
 Objected to Everything
 Then Mrs Froelich objected to the Jail food and unsuccessfully attempt ed to have meals sent to her hus- band from the outside. When that was refused, she bought all the food served to 86 jail inmates for three days.
 After the announcement last night Mrs. Froelich secluded herself in her hotel. The Smith family refused to reveal the whereabouts of Mrs. Pfeifer.
 The Pfeifer-Smith wedding, which came after a Sun Valley romance. was . social event here early in 1940. After the wedding Pfeifer won several skiing trophies at mountain ->.o~'s and successfully defended bis

 (CBS heard the British radio re- port that it is not stated in Berlin that a further shifting back of the winter front in Russia has been de- cided upon," its location to be an- nounced "only when the German troops have already taken up posi- tins along it.")
 An Exchange Telegraph Stock holm dispatch, quoting Swedish ad- vices from Berlinfi said Germany expected further troop landings. on the Crimean coast and recognized the danger that the Russians might cut the Perekop isthmus at the top of the peninsula.
 This would force the Germans either to abandon the Crimea or risk the danger that their entire Crimean army, including it's Italian and Rumanian auxiliaries, would be cut off.
 Germans Wiped Out
 The Netherlands exile government radio Orange, broadcasting to Hol- land from London, asserted that in the Donets river basin, where the Russians are reported to be devel- oping big drive on Kharkov, the German Fist, 98th and 407th infan- try regiments and the 37th chas- seurs regiment had been wiped out The official Russian newspaper Iz- vestia was cited as authority.
 Stockholm, quoting Berlin reports among others, told of the constant reinforcement of Russian troops at Yevpatoriya, only 40 miles north of Sevastopol, under 8 bombardment of the Russian Black sea fleet and the ceaseless attacks of Stormovik dive bombing planes.
 Moscow announced the capture ot the important city of Meschovsk, or the Vyazma- -Bryansk front, 13s miles southwest of Moscow, and re- ported that its troops had freed many other towns and villages in 2

relentles drive all along the front in which the Germans were suf- fering heavy casualties.
 How radically the front had changed, and how rapidly the Rus sians are advancing, was shown by the fact that Meschovsk is about 32 miles east of the strategically im- portant Vyazma -Bryansk railroad and is only 135 miles east-southeast of Smolensk, where Adolf Hitler is reported to have established head quarters from which he had hoped to stop the Red army drive.
 Apparently to cover up still de- veloping operations, Russia was al. most silent except for brief war communiques. But it was indicated plainly that the Red army was in- creasing its pressure everywhere from Finland to the Crimea, along all the 1,100-front front.

 Brennan, however, recalled that De Valera had announced soon after the Japanese attack on Pearl Har- Dor that Fires position toward the United States would be one of friendly neutrality"
 I doubt that the bases would be of any advantage to the Allies if they were to have them," he said. If you will look at the map on sinkings you will see that most of them have taken place, not around Ireland, but east of England and north of Scotland. There have been some south of England, undoubtedly caused by raiders operating off the French coast. But these last can best be controlled by operations from southern England"
 Ready For Americans
 Londonderry, Northern Ireland, January 8. (UP) - American workmen have laid groundwork ot popularity for any American soldiers sent into northern Ireland.
 Thousands of American techni clans have been working on dock. seaplane bases and hundreds O huts since July.
 The purpose of the work neve. was disclosed although rumors hav' been circulating since the start oi the project, that the installations were intended for United States Marines. Since United States entry into the war the work has been speeded
 American workmen, ditch wagons and bulldozers, as well as American food and cigarets, have become commonplace. All day long Ameri- can trucks rumble through the streets of the towns.
 A great deal of work appears te have been done. Facilities for recep- ton of all kinds of armed forces have been expanded considerably Some of the workmen originally sent into the areas have been trans ferred to Scotland.
 All have been popular with the Irish civilians.
 Some of the Americans have mar ried Irish girls. During Christmas the workmen gave party attend- ed by more than 5000 Irish children.
