DERHAPS the most distinctive men of battle engaged in the various European war theaters are the Anzacs, tall, colorful, hard-bitten troops from down under" who travel halfway around the world just to get in a good fight.

 Again, in the present conflict, the Anzacs find themselves in a difficult battle sector. They were chosen to drive the Axis troops from Libya. A contingent got as far as Tobruk but were cut of from the main army and holed up for the summer.
 They held out for five months until British force (more Anzacs) slashed their way through the German tanks on the Libyan escarpment and released their buddies from the siege.

But 1t was foreign to the silence of the quiet store.
 Carol stiffened, not daring to move to hang the picture back ir its place, finally managed to lean over and push the button on hel f1ashlight to extinguish its beam.
 Waiting she could hear the sec onds ticking on her wrist watch feel the rasp of breath as it tore up and down her throat. Her lungs seemed to swell and burst.
 The movement came again nearer this time. It was no longer a swish. It was the sound of leather treading on wood. It was stealthy feet. ...

CHAPTER XVI

The fact that MT. Herrick had old Andy the will was still in exist Asnce gave Carol new hope. Maybe &ne could find 1t.
 Provided Andy didn't let MT. Herrick destroy it first!
 She would have until Saturday morning. She was reasonably sure of that. But where would Bhe look2 Where, in a store like Dearborn's, would man hide a will?
 In the end she decided she would have to search the store at night. It was her only chance.
 And her time was limited. Once Andy gave an affirmative answer and signed the contract, the will would be burned. Both MT. Herrick and Andy would see 10 that.
 She must find 1t before 1t was destroyed. She must find 1t to- uighsi
 No one would think it odd that she should come to the store to make late purchase nor would they bother to notice that she didn't go out with the last shop pers. She could hide on an upper floor, make her search and then let herself out a side door.
 It was that easy. When the closing bell rang she was crouched behind little used case on the sixth floor. She had taken pains to choose one where there were no windows to be closed and nc lights to be turned of.
 After endless minutes she heard the last salesperson go down the stairs and dared to straighten up.
 The night watchman was her only worry now. He made his rounds on the hour. She knew his schedule. It would be fairly simple to avoid him if she kept tab on her wrist watch.
 Her plan was well in mind When MT. Herrick found the will in the vault he would have car ried 1t to his office on the second floor. There he would have read 1t, realized its possibilities and hid den 1t somewhere neutral and safe. Not in his own office. That would probably be the last place the would look.
 Carol had remembered to bring . flashlight and used 1t now. She would search all the general office files first. Then the small safes where various records were kept. She would pry into the desk of MT. Herrick's associates on the theory he might have planted 1t on one of them so he would be blameless If the will were discovered.
 Carol went about her task me- thodically.
 She was in the general offices $humbing through the files when she heard the watchman's steps She had been too engrossed in her work to remember the time.
 Panicky, she slipped behind the tall metal case and fattened her. self against 1t, then heard the man enter the room, saw the beam o1 his Hash as he surveyed the empty desks. She held her breath If she were caught, she'd be in real trouble. Even the finding ot the wil could not explain thisl
 The footsteps approached her hiding place, hesitated. She was too frightened to think. She coulc only feel fear inching down he, spine, freezing her.
