did you come with-that?" he
demanded.
Yes" Mary said shortly.
We'll, you're not going home
with it," Bruce Martin snorted.
Mary thrilled to the words. But
at that moment, Joe Banks was
stopped. Four men had come in
from the tap room and crossed to
intercept him. Two of them were
tough-looking yeggs, the third was
bald and fat and the other a good
looking. well-dressed man of AZ or
4S, with slow. careful movements.
They grouped around Joe Banks
and talked to him in low voices
They were definitely displeased
that he was here, and Joe was
frightened.
Bruce stepped from his tool, took
Mary's arm. Come on" he said
grufiy, hes talking to his friends.
He'll forget about you"
But Mary pulled free. Il want to
meet his friends" she said with a
determined little smile. Good
night" She had slipped away be-
fore he could reach for her again.
Bruce stared after her in amaze
ment. He could have sworn she
didn't want to go home with that
stupid, drunken lummox a moment
before. And he had felt her trem-

He paid for his drinks, watching
the groups reaction to Mary. She
was laughing, chattering to them
like a little fool, Bruce thought
darkly. What was wrong with her?
What was so attractive about those
five thugs? They were all moving
toward the door now, her escorts
hand on Mary's arm, possessively
guiding her ahead Of the others. So
that's the kind Of kid she was!
Bruce Jeered inwardly.

hat and put them on. He was sud-
denly sick Of the place. Might as
well go home.

Nice playmates for a kid like the

CHAPTER TH1RTY-sIx

1hAE L EN- Hin L -Sl<h
A SURGE Of Joy went through
Mary as she realized she had
reached the end of her quest. She
had found Bruce Martin! II he
would only listen to her n~w!
Joe Banks was tapping her arm
with his stubby finger. "Hey-youll
have to excuse. me for a minute,
kid"
Mary noddeH That was lucky,
she unused as Joe moved off. She
had forgotten him entirely, and it
was better he didn't meet Bruce.
She walked hurriedly down the
length of the bar. There was an
empty stool beside Bruce, and she
climbed upon it. She had to touch
his arm before he'd turn her way
Remember me ?" she smiled.
He stared at her from blank,
morbid eyes that gradually focused
into disapproval. What are you
doing here?"
Hunting for you" Mary said
candidly. Its bad luck to drink
alone, isn't it?"
That wouldn't affect me-" He
was about as low as he could 20 to-
night, too low even for fury or re-
sentiment.
why did you take the plane
upI" Mary asked calmly. She
didn't expect an answer, but he
gave her one In the absent, dispas-
sionate tone Of one removed from
the situation.
Il wanted to think" He raised
his glass and drained II, then set
1t down with a mirthless chuckle.
MY reason didn't satisfy Danver."
Maybe can talk to him." Mary
thought aloud.
Don't bother, Redhead." He
pushed his glass toward a passing
bartender and pantomimed his or
der. I'm through"
The smoky room was making
Mary's eyes sting and her throat
ache, but she went on, pleading des-
perately.
Don't walk out now! They'll ar
rest you for sabotage IL you run
away! Stay just a little longer.
They're going to break up the ring
please, Bruce"
He turned away from her irri-
tably. For heavens sake, Redhead,
stop following me around and cry
ing over me! Go home!" He turned
back as he heard her jump from
the stool onto the floor.
She faced him with blazing eyes.
I'm not cryingw
He laughed abruptly. "Woww
there's my little firebird again"
she leaned across the stool TO
say in a quiet, firm voice, I'm Just
trying to tell you"

She turned around al the rsu-
cous hail TO see Joe Banks swag-

day to be welcomed by his mother,
Mrs. Catherine G. Morris, and other
relatives, at 1902 Twelfth place NE,
learned about life in the Guadal-
canal theater OF war the hard way
from the engine room of former
destroyer converted to a transport
and from the water.
The 46-year-old petty officer took
his ducking when the U. S. S. Little,
on which he was serving, was sunk
by enemy gunf1re-from two cruisers
and a destroyer, he was told-early
last month.
He spent eight hours in the water
before being picked up by boat
from a sister ship. But he didn't
seem to be much affected. or even
worried that repetition OF the ex-
perience might be in store in the fu-
ture.
"They say those lifebelts are test
ed to keep man up for three days."
he shrugs.

sleeve attesting to long service and
good conduct, Mr.. Morris first put
is years into the service, worked at
the Treasury Department for seven
years, then was called back to active
naval duty two years ago.
If he were less retiring, Mr.. Morris
ought to have many a tale to tell OF
life in the Solomons area. He was
aboard one of the vessels which took
the first landing party in when the
United States attacked the Japa-
nese-held islands and he was on sew
eral trips when supplies and stores
tack by air, too-"two or three times
day the alarm would sound and
the ship would have to 60 out and do
a snake dance"
But about all the petty officer will
say of the war in the Southwest
Pacific is it's tough" He did not
even want to talk for publication,
contending that pictures in the pa
per were for young fellows who
wanted their pictures in the paper.
Told lot of people would be inter-
ested in the Solomons, he had a
ready answer:
If they want to find out, let 'em
get a uniform. There are plenty OF
places around town where a fellow
can get a uniform"
