have been writing books about the
way to win the war. That is why l
have kept Allan A. Michie's 1.-THE
Air Offensive Against Germany on
my desk for several weeks, having
read it and found it persuasive. Still,
Mr.. Michie's recipe for victory seems
to me as good as any, and better
than some.
Mr.. Niche believes that Germany
can be softened up to the point
where the war is practically won
this year, with the equipment we
have. His explanation of this is
short but sufficiently detailed to
make his point - it is simply an
analysis of the damage already done

Garner in the evening.
He said, Il hope I didn't waken
you, but I had to call, Karen" :"
She knew right away, from the
sound OF his voice, that something
was wrong. She said, That is
quite all right; I wasn't asleep.
What is it, PauI?"
Its Eva. I'm at the hospital.
She'll be all right, Karen - the
poor. dear. foolish girl - but it
seems she tried to kill herself,
although, thank God, she didn't
take enough of the stuff, but she
did it because of me. Can you
understand what Pm saying, Kar-
en-? I'm all mixed up. It's been
a dreadful time, this last half
hour"
Il understand, Karen said. She
understood not only what he was
trying to tell her, but the things
he did not say. His voice told
her those; the tenderness in it
when he said, THE poor, dear,
foolish child Tenderness h a t

her. Paul. And that parts all

tell her that it's all right, that
you are free. For that's why you

You mean l ought to tell her right

"Of course. You must not lose
even another minute" So Eva had
won, but although her pride might
be hurt a little bit, Karen found
that she was glad. She did not

been in this war long before De-
cember the seventh; we've been
in it before Pearl Harbor, as long
as such spying and treachery
/ against our country has been 60
. ing on in these underground chan
'nels, as long as those other small
, countries and peoples have been
under that spiked heel that turn
ed them into slaves. He - your
friend, Marty-has been in it all
this while, doing his 'bit'-and a
big share and dangerous job hes
had, at that"
Everyone cannot wear brass but
tons and gold braid, Marty had
said. He had said, too, that Paul
had been bit late getting into
the war, although he had enlisted
as soon as America got into the
scrap" Karen could understand
new why Marty felt that America
had been in it long before Pearl
Harbor.
But she still could not under
stand why Marty did not come
to see her. He could not be that
busy. What kind of friend was
he, anyway? He ought to know
how anxious she was to see him
now that nearly everything was
cleared up. He ought to want to
see her, too, as much as she want
ed to see him. Surely he could
come tomorrow, since he had not
come today and now that nearly
a week had passed since t h t
drama of the tower.
Buffy had told Karen that Marty
had said when his work was fin
ished he would be going away.
This thought kept coming back to
her as she counted the days going
by with no word from him. She
was sure that Marty would not go
away without saying goodby to her
and to Buffy. He could not do
thing like that! Yet she wor-
ried and was unhappy for fear
he might. He might even be or
dered to leave, with this e
cleared up. to some other case,
in some other part of the country,
by the government. 1t might be
such an unexpected order ON such
short notice that he could not take
time for goodbys.
Well, if he could not find time
! for that, she ought not care. She
must have some pride, if Marty
did not care as much for their
friendship as she. if it did not
mean as much to him as it did
to her. Her belief in him had
been a clear. shining light. If it
brought no answering response
from him. that was not her fault
Leave my heart alone" he had
said. Maybe he had meant by
that that he did not want even
her friendship, although she would
not believe that until she had to-,
as that would dim the light and
since her own heart would not ac-
cept it.
The tomorroWs came and went,
every new one bringing new hope
that ended without fulfillment.
Every time the doorbell rang, or
the phone, Karen's heart leaped
into her throat. But it was never
Martin at the door. nor on the
other end of the wire. There was
not so much as postcard in the
