, become one with them. So jim
Bell had given Denise a con5ld-
cradle dowry, extracting her prom
ise to keep in touch with him and
tc remember that she could come
home, if she came alone, when
ever she chose.
Denise had never come back.
She had only written a few lines
at set intervals, such as holiday
greetings, an announcement five
years ago of the birth of son.
And so the bitterness in Jim Bell S
heart had frozen into solid wall
of stone. He felt that he had lost
this daughter more than if she
had been taken from him in death.
Her name was never mentioned
in the household; not because it
was forbidden, as Raoufs was,
but because the weight of grief
at its sound was unbearable. Kar-
en- had shared this weight, too.
She could not forgive her sister
for adding TO the emptiness of
their fathers life.
"Pll never do anything to make
him unhappy" Karen summed up
these wandering thoughts t h t
had pressed back upon her through
somewhat sleepless night and
again when she woke the follow
ing morning, deciding to slip out
OF bed and take an early morning
dip before anyone else was UP.
'Id marry an octous-if it would
please my dad and help make
things up a bit to him. I'd never
marry at all, if there was no one
like Paul, woo is practically the
same as a son to him now. I'd
gladly sacrifice my own happl-
ness, my life, in fact, for jim"
She smiled at the grlmness and
jmprobability of this last. but
somehow it m her heart feel
lighter. Not that she was heavy
hearted on such a glorious morn
ing, with the sun sparkling like
diamonds as she ran over the
wide beach toward the little dane
ing, welcoming waves. but because
she decided that, like Paul, she
was glad everything was definite
now between them-her whole fu-
ture life mapped out.
The sleeplessness had been part
ly due to the churning questioning
of her mind. she had not been
sure-no, not even after She had
given Paul her word and had ex-
changed Their usual goodnight kiss
that she wanted to be rushed
into anything. After all, there
was plenty of time. She w a S
barely 20. Though lots of 6 / r S
married that young. And it wasn't
as if she were going to marry a
stranger. Paul was so dear to
her. But marriage was a very
grave step. Karen did not regard
it lightly as might other girls as
young and modern as she, no
doubt because of what her sister, S
marriage had caused. That had
made not only an indelible i'm
preston, but it also made it I'M
perative that Karen's marriage
must, in every way, be right.
ut couldn't be anything e S e
with Paul." she thought, giving
herself up to the cooling balm Of
the fresh salty water, letting it
wash away all misgivings, if in
deed her slight apprehensions
could be classified as such.
She Gid not ask herself if she
loved Paul Wyatt. She took that
for granted, as did Paul himself
They were so very fond of each
other, so used to each other-so
right for each other in every way.
If there was another kind of love,
tempestuous, unreasoning, such as
Denise must have felt to elope
with a man so removed in many
ways from herself, such as caused
other women and men to give up

Fires started below were close to
gasoline supplies and the men began
abandoning ship. The young gun
ner went over in a small boat and
commenced the ticklish business of
picking up survivors beside a ship
that might blow up at any minute
He made shore with 80 survivors
and there he joined with the Army
in an effort to clean up hilltop
positions still held by Germans.
With a group of men he went up
to a pillbox, encircled with land
mines. When they had made their
way a short distance they saw the
young German gunner come out.
A wounded American soldier lay
beside the entrance and as he
reached up. the German shot him
with a revolver. In one convulsive
gesture the wounded soldier pulled
him down and stuck him with his
bayonet.
Bops Fleeing German.
The German started oil at a run
through the mine field with Mr.
Epperson behind him. The sailor
finally caught up with him and
knocked him out with the butt of a
revolver, taking him as a prisoner
to the concentration camp estab-
hshed in the town.
Its very peculiar and I'm still
wondering about it," the young
sailor said. Every gosh-darned
German prisoner there had a knot
on his head!"
Ordered aboard another ship. Mr.
Epperson made two more trips to
Sicily carrying equipment and then
he showed of for the United States
"All We did coming back was talk
about what we'd do when We got
home. did what I planned III
say! I got married"
Decorated with the Purple Heart

For Rate Reduction

Justice F. Dickinson Let's today
granted a motion in District Court
to suspend the Public Utilities Com
missions order regarding reduced
gas rates. pending a hearing on a
motion for appeal filed last week by
the Washington Gas Light Co. in
which the firm asks that the court
vacate the PUG order entirely.
The motion to suspend the order
pending the hearing in court was
made by the gas company.
the PUG order, which was to have
become effective last week, would
reduce the company's rate of return
from 6l2 to 5A per cent. The re-
duction was estimated to save con-
sumers more than $4,000 during
the present rate year.
In its appeal to the court the gas
company asks it to vacate the PUG
order and claims the commission
erred in finding the lower rate of
return. No date was set for a hear
ing on the appeal.
