lately" Her father smiled down on
her bright bent head. reaching out
to stroke her hair that was so shin
ling and golden. Has love taught
you so much wisdom, or are you
growing up: You are right. 1 am a
selfish indlyidualist, as well as a
stubborn old fool. I will write the
letter 10 your sister
Il knew you would" Karen said
softly, raising her shining eyes to
his. No. she had not learned be-
cause she was now grown up. or
from love; she had learned from
life, really sharing and living il as
she had been doing since that day
when she had awakened TO the use
lessness OF her existence. She had
learned from a young man named
Martin Halliday.
The letters Denise writes Buffy
say many things between the
lines" Jim Bell said. "She must
have changed, too. my eldest
daughter. She writes that the ch2t-
teau has been turned into a nurs-
ing home and that she herself
works night and day. So the dowry
l provided to preserve the estate
OF Raoul's family may be bearing
fruit indeed. She writes that Raoul
has gone off to fight and has been
twice wounded, so he must have
worthwhile things within himself
that outnumber the small outward
signs did not like or could not I'M
derstand."
mo one is ever quite what he
seems" his youngest daughter said,
out Of her new wisdom. I'VE ought
never judge until we are certain.
All we can do is believe the best.
Denise writes, too, how glad she is
that Buffy is so we'll and so con-.
tent-and think what that must
mean 10 her, dad, when she has had
to shut him out of her own life, TO
Will that he forget her and his own
home for another"
Cousin Ellen had been right
when she had said that A child
could forget even his loved ones
and adapt himself to new surround
ings. So that it was Denise now
who must be pitied more than the
little boy.
Maybe" Jim Bell said, although
he dared not hope for so much, as
he had told himself when that first
news concerning his grandson had
come, "she might be willing some
day to come home. To see Buffy.
After the war is over"
Il think that's very possible"
Karen smiled up at him to show
that she believed it actually was.
You must put it all into that let
ter-the way you feel now toward
Raoul, that he would L, welcome
home, too, as well as Denise and
their son. That's something TO re-
member, you know, that Buffy is
Raouls child. as we'll as Denises.
His father must have suffered, too,
because of his son. He must often
think Of him on the battlefield, ly-
ing wounded in hospitals &.
maybe he wonders if he will ever
see him again"
IN put it all In the letter" jim
Bell made these words a solemn
promise. He would rot delay, Ell
Their; he would write that letter
this very day. How wrong he had
been to have delayed so long. 1t
was true what he had told Karen;
he was a selfish, stubborn old man.

pTER THIRTY-NINE

WHEN HER father told Karer
hat nc realized lie had been wrong
ABOUT Denise IN not forgiying her
IN not accepting Raoul, since hC
was the man her sister loved. IA,
rem knew what such admission had
cost him. She knew the proud stub.
borness that Denise had inherited
from him, which had made 1t i'm.
possible for her TO forgive that IN.
forgiveness Of his. But this nigh,
be the beginning Of forgiveness; 8
beginning that really had started
with Denise's sending her boy home
and that had fostered this feeling
in their father as his love grew
for his grandson.
She said, why don't you write
and tell Denise what you have JUS,
told me, Jim?" II such forgiveness
was kept locked in his heart, il
could not bring about that miracle.
Il couldn't DO that" her father
protested. There had been letters
from his older daughter now that
her son lived in the big house, re-
vealing letters that also had given
jim Bell more understanding and
insight, but the letters had been
addressed 10 the little boy. 1t was
not up to father TO break the ST.
lence that still lay between him and
his daughter, much as he longed to
have it broken and buried forever.
Karen said, II think you could.
l KNOW you could" She rested her
smooth cheek against the back of
his big hand. She still sat on the
footstool at his feet in the old in
innate way that always brought
them close, as if she were a little
girl again, seeking his advice or
sympathy. Now, however, the role
was reversed; she was trying to
help her dad. Pride is such a fool
lsh thing" she added. when it
comes to the ones you love II
shouldn't count, not as much as the
love should, anyway. l think that
II you wrote to Denise what YOU
Just told me, that perhaps you had
been wrong, that you no longer
hold any bitterness against her or
Raoul, that you wanted to forgive
and forget, well. I think-no, I'm
SURE, that that would make
everything all right again"
1T couldn't wipe out all that has
gone; that can never be again" her
father reminded her sadly. Youth
was 100 hopeful, yet that was what
youth was-hore itself. Only old
age, and much living, taught that
the past and the marks it had left
could never quite be washed away.
still" he relanted a little toward
youths argument, ii l really
thought that a letter from me
might help make Denise some hap
pier, and for Buffy's sake as well,
I might do 1t. my dear. l guess
am too old for pride, and too fool
ish."
You are too big for IT," Karen
claimed, laying her fresh sweet lips
against his hand now for a moment
before sitting up straighter again.

she ever could hope 10 be. she had
missed Denise with a poignant

She got up from her footstool.
Her father had finished his cigar
and he was getting up, too, since
now there was nothing more to say
for the present on this subject.
There would be more, when the an

the wide doorway leading into the

AMERICAN RAIDS TO BE
LARGER, MORE OFTEN

American raids over Fortress Europe
will be larger and will come more fire.
quently.
That was the inference made by Secre-
tary of War Henry l.. Stimson this week
when he announced that our average
losses in the European theater are only
five per cent of the number of planes
involved.
In answer to questions that arose after
the destruction of 60 bombers in the raid
on the Schweinfurt bearing plant, which
was proportionately much higher than
five per cent, Stimson said
(The losSes) are countered by
light losses on other operations"
Other authorities have told of the dam
age done to the bearing plants. Gen. H.
II. (Hap) Arnold, commander of Z. S.
air forces, and President Roosevelt, COM
mander-in-chief of all of our services,
estimated that the bearing plant had
been at least Is per cent destroyed and
that the entire Nazi war machine will be
seriously affected by the one raid.
Now Stimson declares that the proper
tion of losses is not unnecessarily high,
taking into account the many damaging
raids on Germany and the occupied
countries when the loss has been almost
negligible.
So it appears that Mr.. Hitler & Com
pany will get no respite from the CONT
nual rain of death which has destroyed
his cities and killed more than million
of his civilians.
The only chance the Nazis had of
forcing the Allies to abandon their pro-
gram of mass bombings was to make it
too costly.
Even the British, whose vast night
raids in which it is not uncommon for
1000 tons or more of explosives to cas-
cade down on Reich war plants, the
losses of aircraft have been kept under
five per cent, Mr.. Stimson revealed.
When Allied raids over the continent
really began to take on large proper
tions, military experts figured that 10
per cent of the planes would fail to re-
turn to their home fields. They esti
mated that large-scale raids could sue
cessfully be carried on if losses did not
exceed 20 per cent.
There's quite a gap between five per
cent and 20 per cent.
So, Mr.. Hitler, prepare for another
drop in morale.
