An hour later they landed. Leav-

Colin hurried directly to Doves

Tenants wolf team lay in the
trail outside Benedict's cabin, and
it was Nate who opened the door at
Collins knock. Across the room
Blair was standing, and she ran
toward him, clasping his arm in
both hands, as il to make certain
he had come back to her. Nate
asked. What happened up above?"
Qui..ly Colin told them Of the
Nazi air base episode, then he asked
the question that Blair dreaded.
Where is Dover"
"All we know is this" Tenant
answered. Yesterday he came
back TO the school and left with his
dog team over the Moose Lake trail.
He took bedding and grub, two
high-powered rifles and all the

had planes up from Winnipeg scour-

serious. "It's bad business follow

1t. Let me come, Colin. Well use

Collins eyes rose to the big trap

Tenants dark face hardened.
"Dr. Benedict told me some things
about Dove last night-the way he
had Olsen plant snare wire and
poisoned bait along my trap lines
to set the Crees against me. I've
got my own account to settle with
Dove, so I'm coming along"
Without waiting for Collins de-

forward with raised hands. "Nieht
nrehr" he called.
Leaving a strong guard over pris-
oners and planes, Colonel Bowling
and Colin Rae were on their way
back to Learmonth. "No one" the
former grumbled, "who holds down
my job should be surprised at any
thing. But this plot ca so near
succeeding get a cold chill. They
had bombs and drums of gas enough
Tor twenty trips. They had flight
maps for every airplane-producing
center in the United States, and de-
tailed routes to Detroit and New
York. It could have been a major
catastrophe of the war"
How did they get those planes
here"
They might have come in on sub
marines, but | doubt it. They conld
have flown them in without the least
difficulty. Why, ten years ago, Ger
many made a test fight from Ice
land to Chicago and Detroit in an
old crate Of flying boat. Made it
nonstop. Think how simple it would
be now. 1t was partly because of
that danger the United States land
ed troops in Iceland. Those bomb
ers may have come from Norway,
via Greenland perhaps"
Colin had been looking out the
window. Suddenly, he asked, do
you need me after we get TO Lear
month";"
"Why?'
Because I'm starting out after
Jonathan Dove"
The Colonel frowned. "Be sensi-
BILE, Rae. Men are on the watch for
him now throughout Canada. Dove
can't stick his nose out this coun-
try
Eyes he can"
"How?"
"By meeting that plane he used
for the Photographic work. He can
hide out until it's due, and then get
away"
where will he meet it7'
Il know where" Colin answered
shortly, land I'm the only one that's
going to know"
"All right" Dowling's shoulders
rose in reluctant consent. Have it
your own way" He looked into
Collins eyes. But when you get
back, I've got job for you"
what kind Of job?"
Bowling pointed toward the
north. "How do we know the dan
gers over up there? Somewhere on
the bay there may be other Nazi
bomber nests. This thing today has
taught me the need Of a ground pa
troll, winter and summer, until the
wars won. Air patrol alone isn't
enough-they can camoufage their
bases too well.
Il want you to organize a ground
patrol for the country around the
bay. Already Japan and Germany
are building planes that can reach
here if they find some safe place TO
base. You've got to see that they
can't. You know this country, Rae;
you know the people-Crees. Eski-
mos, and whites. You can build up |
your own organization and choose
your own men," Bowling leaned |
forward, then very earnestly he |
said, "Let me count on you, Rae" !

CHAPTER TKIRTY-FoUR


Colin raised himself on his elbow
-What if those bombers take off TO-
night"
They'll hit some pretty heavy
going. There's a patrol of pursuit
planes strung across Canada
every last plane fit to fly is in the
air. Meantime, Winnipeg, Ottawa,
and Toronto are BACKED out-we're
calling it a practice maneuver.'
Few slept that night Long be-
fore daylight the gunners began
putting the last loving touches TO
their weapons.
Dawn crept over the world as a
red sun touched the southern ice to
fire and, with that first beam, Dowl-
ing and his men followed Colin out
over = frozen snowfield.
Less than two hours brought them
10 their goal. Well hidden in shell
tered elbow of the bay, the German
air base looked quietly innocent be-
meath the morning sun. Two low,
squat buildings, covered with ice to
camoufage them from the air, and
three huge white canvas hangers,
staked down against the wind.
But no sign of life; no human ac-
tivity. Scanning the terrain with a
practiced eye, Col. Bowling called
his lieutenants to hfm.
Establish your machine guns
where we agreed" he gave his crisp
orders. "At the first sign of resist
ance well rake them with three
fires. You have exactly thirty min
utes to make ready"
Separating into groups, the gun
ners moved closer, keeping we'll
back behind the shoreline, while
Colin led bowling and a squad of
men to the shelter of a hummock.
There they halted, and Colin heard
the metallic click of machine guns
loading; then Bowling whispered,
1--WE can blow the very Hitler out of
Fritz from here" Watch in hand,
Bowling waited. In thirty minutes,
precisely to the second, Bowling
turned TO his nearest gunner.
Fire a burst just this side Of
the building" he commanded.
Shots ratified, and puffs of shat
tered ice sprang up before the Ger
mans hut. 1t was like stamping
on an anthil' as a score of men in
white parkas came piling out, some
with rifles, but at sight of that wait
ing circle of men and guns, they
drew quickly back and began hud-
ding around a tall officer standing
in the doorway.
The officer barked an order, and
German soldier bolted for the
nearest hangar.
Hes going TO blow up the
bombersl" Colin shouted, but BOWL
ing already had nodded to his gun
ner. A burst of shot, and the run
ming Nazi sprawled on the ice just
as the Canadian fighter planes came
screaming in, barely clearing the
hummocks, circling over the air
base so low that the barrels Of their
machine guns glinted in the early
light.
The Nazis gave up all show Of
resistance. Throwing down their
guns, they crowded back toward the
cabin, while their officer worked

Aircraft from nine carriers fur
nished the air cover for the sue
cessful landing Of Allied forces in
Southern France, Acting Secretary
of the Navy Bard disclosed today in
the Nays weekly war review. Seven
of the carriers flew the British flag
while two of them were attached to
United States forces.
The landing on the Southern
French coast, Mr.. Bard said, has
been described as the smoothest
amphibious operation yet con-
Quoted in the European-African
area.
An armada of about 800 ships of
the American. British, French,
Polish, Greek and Belgian navies,
the Acting Secretary said, was
handled so successfully that the
troops were able to 60 ashore with
a considerable ddegree of surprise
and very light casualties.
The landings were favored with
excellent weather, In striking con-
trast to that which faced the in
vaders OF Normandy in June.
Enemy naval opposition was SC

cipal incident was the sinking OF
four motor torpedo boats by Amer

Mr.. Bard also disclosed that in

EceIes Proposes Bill
TO Extend Postwar
" Loans 10 Business
BY the Associated Press.


Legislation to create a Govern
ment guarantee system for business
loans, looking toward expansion of
private enterprise after the war,
was proposed today by Chairman
Mariner S. Eccles Of the Federal
Reserve System.
Such a program would extend into
the reconversion period the w
loan" system, which has been used
in financing war production.
The guaranteeing of such loans
by the reserve banks" Mr.. Eccles
told the House Banking Committee,
would not be competitive with the
private banking system. A borrower
would be expected to apply for such
a loan through his usual banking
connection. The bank would in turn
make application to the Federal Re-
serve bank OF its district for the
guarantee.
1T Is contemplated that the
guarantees by the reserve banks
under this authority would not ex-
ceed 80 per cent Of the amount OF
the credit, since any enterprise
which has reasonable prospects OF
successful operation should be able
to obtain financing III which its
bank assumes at least 10 per cent
of the risk under the loan"
Such guarantees, under iegisla-
ton proposed by Mr. Eccles. would
be available for any type of loans
made by financing institutions to
business and industry, to provide
either working capital or facilities.
The reserve bank chairman told
the committee:
Numerous enterprises will not
be able to resume peacetime opera
tion without financial assistance, in
many cases beyond that available
from private sources upon term.
which will meet the borrowers re-
Quirements.
Mr.. Eccles said the Federal Re.
serve System now is in position te
guarantee such loans up to $780,.
000, 1000, without any new appropria-
ton from Congress.
