THE MEETING OF THE

Lincoln told her his name Told
her many things, everything, during
the next half hour.
The attack of black water fever,
as is the usual way, had disap-
peared as suddenly as it had come.
His cheeks were gray and hollow
He had lost pounds. But-he said
he'd have to be on his way, at
once.
Oh, yes he was coming as an
important emissary, representing
the Bi Hassanyieh dervishes. But
already, through his illness, much
time had been lost. The hykmoot
ameez would not wait much longer
before he gave the order to strike

drained of vitality

peated, "at once"

She said it with a gallant ges-
ture, a brave smile But the gal
lent gesture was sham, the brave
smile a falsehood to hide her
despair

and called out to zaman Khan.
He took him into his confidence,

Lincoln turned back to Nancy.
Again they kissed He was Off;
and she stood there, straight and
hard, watching the man she loved
disappear down the forest path
AS she walked on, Lincoln won
dered at his own stony tranquility.
Perhaps his feelings had been keyed
up too highly. Thus a certain re-
action was logical and he told
himself - healthy.
In way he was glad of it. He
loved Nancy oh, yes and she
loved him. But already this chap
ter of his life was ended. Now an
other chapter was beginning,
poignant and tragic, which he him
self must write in the book of his
life, In the book of the worlds
history, without the help of love
and without the hindrance of love.
For out there, in the place
called the Meeting of the Ele-
plants, one more aspect of de-
morcacy's fate was in the making
or the unmaking. And it was
more important - he forced him
self to think than the kiss of a
woman's lips.
He strobe on. All that day.
Part of the next.
Another few hours. Then the
end. His own end.

he would be forgotten; thought of

European Front

With clearing weather, Allied aircraft
opened up a new series of round-the-
clock raids on German industrial centers
which surpassed anything which has
gone before and probably did nothing to
bolster the Wavering morale of the mil
lions of Germans who had already lost
their homes and most of their belongings
in the previous raids which had struck
at the large cities.
One raid, carried on Friday by Ameri-
can planes, of which 700 were bombers
and 300 ong-distance fighters, struck
Germany at a point where she can
least absorb punishment-her synthetic
oil establishments in Gelsenkirchen.
Three of the largest synthetic plants in
Europe are located in that city, which
also is an important rail junction. The
vital railroad yards at Muenster also
were hit by the bombers which dropped
1000 tons of bombs on one or the
other of the targets. The extent of the
damage is not disclosed as vet, but
hundreds of tons of bombs dropped in
synthetic oil plants leave little to the
imagination.
The weeks raids started when TOO
American bombers and fighters visited
WilhelmShaven, the largest number of
American planes ever to go out on a
single raid. The huge armada spread
out over 20 miles as the planes in per-
feet formation passed over their target
and dropped more bombs on the i'm
portant naval and Shipbuilding base
than American flyers have dropped in
all previous raids on that base combined.
Five bombers and two fighters were the
total cost.
A great feet of RAF bombers followed
the American daylight attack by heavy
night raids on Dusseldorf and Cologne
An indication of the weakening of Ger
man defenses was see in the fact that
the British lost just 10 planes in those
and series of smaller raids during the
night
Northern France received a blasting
from American bombers Thursday and
then came Fridays tremendous smash
ing attack on Gelsenkirchen.
AS contrast, it was said that in the
British attack on Dusseldorf, bombs
fell at the rate of IS tons a minute, as
compared to 81 tons per minute on
completely devastated Hamburg.
