ford. Twice he just slipped past
a body of troops evidently
searching the small, matched
houses down the crooked side
streets.
II was after 3 when he and the
plump doctor (who wore a fur
lined jacket and a bearskin cap,
and kept rubbing his hands to-
gether against the cold) climbed
back up into the dry loft where
the visitor was lying in the
straw. BY furtive candlelight
they bandaged him, fed him hot
coffee, and heard snatches of his
story. All three of them in that
hour had the same thought. For
II months the enemy had been
in Norway, and now, for the
first time, they had a promise of
action. The man, whose name
was Sverre Hammer, fell asleep,
and Osterholm and the doctor
sat and listened to his quiet
breathing.
After long while the east be-
gan to glow behind the ragged
mountains. The farmer limped
to the north window. Shivering
a little, he pulled his red wooden
jacket closer about him, and

CHAPTER 1

The man left Stoksund, more
than halfway up the west coast
of Norway, at nightfall, and long
past midnight, after the lonely
roads, came staggering up to his
cousins farm near the little fish
ing village of Trollness. With
the last of his strength he crept
across the court and tossed a
handful of pebbles up at the
bedroom window.
Knut Osterholm, the farmer,
woke out Of uneasy sleep, threw
up the blind with clatter, and
saw the man in the bright moon
light, standing down in the cob
bled yard, his hands burned
black and his shoulder bloody
under a torn shirt. The barn and
the big storehouse, with gables
like ghosts. threw their silver
shadows all around him..
Quickly the farmer slipped on
his clothes and went out to hide
him in the hayloft of the barn.
Then he limped off in a great
hurry toward Trollness to rouse
the only doctor in town. 1t was
over a mile to the little cluster
of buildings at the edge of the

gong past MIN Oh liic iodu'
Some ten minutes passed
while he waited. Then a burly,
sullen-looking fellow in a black
lumberjacket came striding out
of the nearest side street and
turned down toward the square.
The doctor went over quickly
and tapped him on the shoulder
with his stick. Good morning,
Gunnar.
The fisherman turned slowly
and gazed down at the plump
pink face under the bearskin
cap. Good morning"
Looking from side to side. the
doctor muttered in a lower
voice, Il want to talk to YOU"
Without waiting for an answer,
he turned, poked his gate open
with his stick land strobe into
the house.
Once in the surgery, he tossed
the fur cap into chair, smooth
ed down his damp, blond hair,
and pulled the shades. 1--WE
fight" he burst out. I'VE are to
get guns from England. The
whole coast is to be armed"
Gunnar lifted his head. His
whole body grew tense, but his
expression did not change. Per-
haps it was this calm, this utter
steadfastness, that had made him
the leader of all the fishermen
in town.
His voice sounded husky.
"How do you know"
Yesterday there was a battle
down the coast" Stensgard put
down his stick, took off his jack
ct, hung it up neatly, and began
walking up and down very fast.
Gunnar Brogge followed him 81
lently with fervid eyes.
Last night" the fierce little
man said, "Knut Osterholm
came down here at 3 in the NOR
ming. No, a little before, 10 min
utes to the hour it was. His
cousin Hammer had got through
from Stoksund with a bullet in
his shoulder and half the skin
off his arms from a fire"
''Past the guard on the road?
They were searching houses last
night"
"They were?" asked the doc
tor. Must have had news of the
fighting. Anyway, Ham m r
made it, God knows how. And
not only here in town, but Is
miles on foot, past dozen pa
trolls. AS l said, there was bat
tie in Stoksund. They fought for
five hours before they were
beaten. c "a ualties on both
sides"
Were they insane?" asked
Gunnar slowly. They didn't
stand a chance" But his heart
pounded and pounded. How
many nights he had dreamed
that thing like this would hap
pen.
The doctor saw his face. "Ha!
Too much for you, eh? You can't
believe it," Suddenly he drew
very close, eyes tense like con-
spirator's. But now, with half
the occupying forces sent out of
Norway to the Russian front,
now is the time to strike. We
know it. The English know it,
and down in Stoksund they had
been getting guns, picking them
up at night in small boats from
English ships off shore. But they
were betrayed" He backed
away and glared at the fisher
man fiercely. Some fool of a
woman. She told the Germans
the guns were buried in the gar
dens. They came with searching
parties, and then it started.
House to house, the men defend
ing themselves. What else could
they do? Imagine! Or have I told
you? Fifty or sixty were killed
on both sides"
For several moments Gunnar
Brogge stood motionless, looking
at the doctor. A great, confident
Joy welled up in him that made
him hardly able to talk. He said,
