Wait" Gunnar interrupted.
IF it comes to a fight. and we
are we'll armed and ready. what
is the first thing the captain
would do?"
Send for reinforcements, or
get planes the way they did
down the coast"
He would telephone TO Stok-
sun. Right? Or even down 10

so"
Here is where the wires cross
over the bridge" He marked the
place with his finger again.
1.-TWO men must be chosen to cut
those wires before the action ev-
er begins"
"And what will you do" Lars
Malken cried excitedly, about
the wireless"
Gunnar stopped TO look up.
1--WE come TO that in a minute.
There are only three ways for
them to get a message out" the
fisherman went on. by tele-
phone, by wireless, as Lars Mil
ken has suggested, and by cour-
ier."
The room was deadly silent.
"Ive tried to think 1t all out
very carefully. We can stop a
telephone. We smash the dyna-
mo that furnishes current for the
wireless. A courier can take only
one of a very few routes out OF
town. We must post a dozen -
so men up on the road that runs
behind the hotel. Their task Will
be to stop any move in that ,di-
rection. If the enemy moves out
in force, we attack those that
are left in town. If only a few
try to get through, our men,
put in the right places, can stop
them. The second path out for
them is over the bridge where
the wires are. We have to des-
troy that bridge before the ac-
ton starts. The road north can
easily be commanded from the
battery on the point. Half a doz-
en- men there can overwhelm
the guard and take over. So that
part of it is taken care Of"
The doctor slapped his hands
together enthusiastically. Gun
mar, you are positively a tactic
ian. Beautifully done. Beautiful
ly."

his head TO be heard. Pastor,
we will give you the right to
your opinion.
1--WE will give you your own
mind in the matter. But you
must give us ours"
what do you mean?" said
Aalesen. His thin, boyish face
was working with emotion.
II mean that if we let you go
your way, you must let us go
ours. You will not be held re-
sponsible. But you must give us
your holy word that if you are
asked questions you will not
betray us"
Breathless, they looked up at

head. For a moment they all
