ask with whom l may go out"
1T isn't that-you don't under
stand-I don't care who you 60 out
with as long as they are decent"
Bruce Martin has always been
a perfect gentleman to mel"
Sure, and he probably always
would be to you, but there's more
to it than that. l don't see why you
doubt me, Mary. I have tried to DO
a real pal to you and Fran ever
since the first time we met. Can't
you believe me now?"
Mary felt a little ashamed for
harboring any doubts and yet she
couldn't feel that Bruce was really
bad. Even IL he were, she thought,
it couldn't change the way she felt
about him. The way she had felt
since that first fleeing glimpse she
had had Of him the day he had so
majestically flashed by the bus on
which she was riding. Now. moro
than ever, since she had seen the
side Of him that was warm and hui
man and thoughtful, 1t was impos-
sible to think anything really bad
OF him. At least, she wouldn't give
up her convictions without strug-
gle.
You mean that he has a bad
reputation ?" Mary asked.
Yes, that's part Of it," Ken ad-
mitted.
Part OF it,"
swell, he did have his name
linked with movie star in a nasty
scandal last year"
There was al awkward moment
OF silence.
Does little Hollywood noto-
riety forever condemn a man out
here?" Mary simply couldn't give
up.
Making It Just as tough for me
as you can," Ken said.
"Oh. 1t isn't that, Ken, know
you are sincere and you have been
grand to me-but, but, well,
just like Bruce Martin and would
hate TO give him up"
For an instant Ken's face flushed
crimson. but Mary was so upset she
didn't notice.
In desperation Ken fixed her with
an urgent, commanding gaze.
Mary, you just simply must
not be seen with him again, be-
cause, well, I happened to know,
for fact, that the F. B. I. at Nor
dex is watching every move he
makes"
Mary's heart felt as though Il
had been squeezed. She felt the
walls Of her own little world crum-
bling about her, and as her lips
formed, Why" she could see the
answer written plainly on Ken's
face even before she heard his

CHAPTER EIGHT

BRUCE AND Mary still were
chuckling as they walked across
the spacious hospital foyer. An at
tendant was just turning off the
lights which had been burning
since the blackout ended at 4 a. m.
A couple of cleaning women were
here busily hopping. An inferno
was leaning across the desk talking
to the girl on duty.
They paused at the great double
door and Mary smiled. The sun s
shining" she said. 1t seemed a mir
acle that nature saw fit to continue
blithely along on schedule despite
mans blackouts and accidents.
Bruce Martin was watching her
again-studying the white lovely
face, framed by its soft mass of
red-gold hair. Exhaustion made
some women heavy-sluggish. 1t
seemed to burn Mary's body into
almost fragile transparency. He
said, in a slow, almost awkward
voice, Il hope you'll let me take
you home"
Mary's great eyes lifted to his
face. For a long moment they held
there. The hurt, the embarrass-
ment had been wiped away In the
instant healing of their laughter.
She saw him now with no bitter
ness in his eyes; the dark flashing
now mirrored something resem-
bling solicitude.
Please do" she said quietly.
Almost at the same instant she
saw Ken hurrying up the broad.
white hospital steps. He raced
across the porch and almost ran
headlong into them in his frantic
dash for the desk.
"Hey!" Mary grinned at him as
he stared at her an instant before
he recognized her. Then he yelled.
MARY" and she thought for a mo-
inent he was going TO grab her in
bear hug Of relief. Where
what? got out two hours ago and
called to make sure you kids were
okay. Been calling places ever
since"
Mary was contrite. Il should

II guess / was too excited to
think" She didn't have the heart
to admit that she had never
thought Of Ken once during her
night of trouble. How could she be
like that, she rebuked herself as
she looked into his worried face.
Good old Ken-Ken who had been
their pal-their standby. She felt
warmed and comforted by his
anxious concern and his sincere re-
lief as she assured him Fran was
going to come through like a mil
lion. Burke was all right-and yes,
of course, she was all right. This
is Bruce Martin, Ken Grant" she
added. why don't you run up and
see Burke a minute? / don't feel
up to it. Bruce is taking me home"
For the first time since she had
known Ken. Mary saw him change
as he acknowledged the introduce
ton to Bruce Martin. She heard a
strange, cold, hard edge come into
his voice, and saw a ney' power Of
command in his eyes as he turned
back to her.
Il think you ought to go with me
to see Burke" he said quietly to
Mary. Then. I'll take you home"
But Bruce has already offered
to take me-" There was a note of
pleading in her voice.
Mary could only stare at the con-
hict she saw in the mems locked
glances. What was wrong? Why
did this have to happen to her?
To her surprise. 1t was Bruce
Martin who lost the struggle. After
the faintest shrug, a return Of the
sardonic smile, he said, Just as
you like, Mary"
She had no strength left to de-
eide. They seemed to have done 1t
for her. She felt her face burning
like fire, her knees were shaking
under her, and she felt a wave of
dizziness sweep over her, like a
dark ominous cloud to shut out the
warm rays Of bright sunshine that
only a moment before had seemed
to heal all the ills in her troubled
world. The exciting events OF the
past few hours had taken their toll
Of her strength and now. faced with
this new challenge. she felt miser-
ably alone and tired. She said good
by to Bruce Martin and stood

There was a long moment Of ST.
lence and then, without turning,
she asked quietly. "Why-did you
do that?"

and when he did his voice was both
hard and troubled. He Just isn't
the right sort for you to be going
with"

At the close of the war humid
reds of thousands-indeed many
millions men and women will
have been removed from their
homes, taken like cattle from one
side of Europe to the other.
Their original homes are today in
many cases blasted ruins, the
scenes of tortures and tragedies
that those suffering people will
want above all to forget. Eco
nomically, it would often be ex-
tremely difficult for them to re-
turn; the conditions which gave
them a living in their old homes
would be entirely changed; the
factory where the mechanic
worked might be gone; the clients
who had made for the young law
yer legal practice might be
dead; the district where the shop
had been prosperous so altered
that no such shop could survive;
and so on. Less still will many
want to remain where they had
been dumped by the Nazi slave
trader. They-or very many
thousands of them-will want to
start life afresh, preferably in one
of the new" countries. They will
want to do what so many former
generations of young Europeans
have done-go out to young and
expanding country in order to
forget and get away from the
tragedies of the old, of the past.
They will most certainty ask
whether, in the brave free world
for which they believed them
selves to be fighting, they will be
allowed, as their forefathers
would have been allowed in the
world of yesterday, to help fill
the empty spaces of the earth
and to help by their labor render
those spaces fertile.
What will the Democracies of
the new countries answer to that
plea?
Unless we-particularly we of
the English-speaking Democra-
cies-make it plain that we have
parted with the ideas that dictat-
ed our conduct a few years ago,
those victims of the Nazis will

not have much hope.
At the beginning of this war
children from the war area were
offered the freest, most generous
hospitality by private citizens
Nothing could have been more
generous, more noble. But those
qualities did not at all character
ize the conduct of governments
in adjusting their immigration
Tpolicies to meet the need of those
who, before the war, were suffer
ing under Nazi oppression.
When a few months before the
present war several countries
gave an extra turn to the screw
of immigrant exclusion, just be-
cause the demand for refuge was
becoming greater, the present
writer. tried to bring home to the
public of that day just what these
barbed wire entanglements of
regulations meant for the refugee
flying from terror:
Recall the constant accounts
of refugees, having escaped in
some cargo boat, carried Shrek
ing to the ship or plane that will
deliver them back to the tender
mercies of the Brown Shirts. Con-
slider for a moment the humanity
of the law which forbids you to
take a refugee baby into your
home unless you will give bank
er's guarantee to cover the whole
cost of its upbringing and educa-
ton during the whole of it's life
until it is of age; of the law which
forbids the adoption of a refugee
child, which makes it illegal, that
is. Consider for a moment what
it means when whole shipload of
women and children. fleeing from
the Nazi terror, can wander the
ocean for weeks seeking any door
anywhere that shall be open to
them And finding all closed.
AS their ship passed the Statue
of Liberty, someone might have
told them what is written upon
its pedestal.

Your huddled masses yearning to
breathe free,

of the Olympians-the diplomats,
the politicians, the labor leaders,
the trade union officials-the an
swer is commonly panic-stricken
request for heavens sake not to
raise the question at all. No gov
eminent, we are told, would dare
to suggest any relaxation Of the
immigration restrictions. It is a
most unpopular subject, they tell
you, with officials and with For
eign Offices. It would be most
unsafe to suggest that the victims
of the war will be able to find a
future in the New World, because
in all probability it will be de-

But my guess is that when the
time comes, the victims won't
