The sound of the machinery in

Of the jolting cane cars. Pete no
ticed that the pleasant overtone OF
molasses little distance from the
mill was not so pleasant close to it.
He passed the crane lifting bundles
Of cane into the hopper. Two poems
standing there taking sample stalk
from each car, ticketing it to be test
ed for sugar content, glanced at him
curiously and went on with their
work. Pete ran inside. The shed
was hot and dirty, and full of violent
unseen motion and deafening noise.
Men tending the grinding machines
turned their heads to look at him,
looked silently at each other and
went back to their work. He went
on, faster, across the cement floor
toward the center Of the long build
ing. Anne was nowhere in sight.
A man was coming in from the
laboratory with a test tube Of dark
liquid in his hand. He glanced
around at Pete, startled at seeing a
uniformed Army officer on the floor,
and waited with a questioning wor-
ried expression on his face.
Pete stopped. "Senor Diego Con-
garo y los Americanos. Donde?"
he demanded.
For a moment the man looked
blank. Then his face broke into
smile. He nodded, looked up and
raised his free hand.
Sup there" he said in English.
Pete looked up. Anne's slim white
figure was outlined above the inn
mense oozing tanks fifty feet above

him. It looked hundred just then,
and the walk she was on the breadth
of a tightrope. A single iron hand
rail was all that protected her from
the long drop to the cement floor on
his side, and God only knew what
on the other.
Diego Gongaro was in front Of
her, Mr.. Richard Taussig a yard
behind her. She was clinging to
the hand rail, leaning forward a lit
tie, looking down into some roaring,
grinding hell on the other side. Mr..
Taussig glanced behind him along
the catwalk, and moved little clos
er to her. There was something in
his dual movement that split into
Pete's consciousness like an cleo
trio shock. He made a leap for
ward. The stairway was steep as a
ladder and sticky with the silt and
syrup flung up from the vats, and
he cleared it faster than he had ever
done anything in his life. Then he
could feel the narrow iron walk vi
DraLS unQ6T MS IeGC.
Mr.. Taussig turned sharply. Some
thing happened to his face. For a
second there was something un-
speakably terrible in it. 1t was gone
instantly. The white smiling mask
that took its place was inscrutably
enigmatic. He stepped back a lit
tie. Anne hadn't turned. She was
staring down into the grinders,
watching the cane come up and go
down, caught between the great roll
ers. There was a look on her face
that Pete had never seen there be-
fore, and that he wouldn't have
known if he hadn't known every
mood and movement of it far better
than he knew his own. She was
scared, petrified with fear. Her hand
clinging to the guard rail was white,
the knuckles small shiny beads Of
ivory.
Pete Wilcox wriggled past Mr..
Taussig on the two-foot walk and
gripped her arm. He felt her body
give and sway a little and saw
her eyes close.
"You poor little devil" he thought,
with a sharp acrid Tightening at the
back Of his tongue.
Diego Gongaro, absorbed in some
thing the foreman was trying to
shout at him, turned around. He
gave an abrupt start.
Hope you don't mind If come
along" Pete shouted.
Delighted" Diego Gongaro shout
ed back. There was something more
than delight in his face. Pete saw
him take out his handkerchief and
mop the perspiration of his face.

THE TERRORs OF PEACE

THE TERRORS OF PEACE
To hear some people talk you
would think Sherman had said:
"Peace is hell"
Ask business man how things
are and he replies: ''Pretty good,
but I'm worried. The war could end
suddenly" Ask your broker why the
market is weak and he says: Don't
forget there's possibility Of an ear
ly peace" Try to borrow $5 from q
friend making big money in an air
plane factory, and he will freeze you
with stern: "Tve got to be mighty
careful. This war can't last for
ever"
Ask senator or any other public
official how things look to him, and
he will back you into a corner and
give you long talk on what may
happen to this country if the fighting
ever atops.
The thought of going back to q
quiet, orderly world of brotherly love
throws them into depths Of pessi-
misnl. OF course, the men and
women who are doing the fighting
don't feel this way; it's the folks far
behind the lines with none Of their
loved ones at the front.
The less danger they're in the
more they're nervous about waking
up some morning and finding peace
staring them in the face.
Peace? Why, even the thought Of
an early armistice makes some
easily frightened fellows shiver.
They're so timid you might have
to draft them to get them to face the
peace.
It's just too bad. Maybe WASH
ington should begin now to do some
thing to build up peace morale; to
condition people for struggling on
through peacetimes. Maybe there
should be an OPT (Off1ce of Peace In
formation) created Immediately to
keep the fidgety folks fully informed
of the dangers ahead.
The government could even create
some medals for Distinguished Con-
duct in the Face of Peace.
-
Give special ribbons to the fellow
with nerve enough to hear peace
rumor and say, "Fine. Peace can't
come too soon to suit me. I'll take
it over war any old time"
