nurses aide work, and was soon put
in charge of the aides in the X-ray

but still it's nice to have the most
beautiful girl in town crazy about
you, to the point where it even both

"She was, so they said, a very
high Dutch socialite and had lots Of
money, which you might guess by
how simple and expensive her eve
ming dresses were. In the daytime
she wore beautifully tailored uni
form of one of the woman's volun-
teer organizations. / think she drove
car for the Dutch General Staff.
Meanwhile my job was growing
by leaps and jumps. In that hotel
dining room you might see General
Wavell, the British Commander in
Chief, or Admiral Hart, or General
Brett, who commanded the United
Nations Air Force, or Van Oeyen,
the Dutch Commander in Chief. I
was circulating among the tables,
and my brief case was so crammed
with hot information wouldn't trust
it in a checkroom.
"There was a feeling of tension.
Refugees had been crowding in from
Singapore and Sumatra. Now there
was feeling that maybe they'd be
crowding out soon. Lots of the ma
tives had already left, and those SER
wants who remained you knew were
staying only because they were very
loyal. But to whom? Maybe to the
Dutch. Or maybe to someone else

staying around to watch us, re-
laying information we knew not how,
or to whom. You couldn't be sure of
anything.
Except that I knew they were
watching me, maybe only out of idle
curiosity as I circulated from one
table to the other, and kept that
brief case leaning against my leg
when I sat at my own table.
"That hotel certainly wasn't built
to keep military secrets. The big
high-ceilinged bedrooms had only
swinging half-doors like barrooms-
open to the air above and below.
The barefooted native servants
looked after them, only I'd catch
them slipping in and out of mine at
queer times of the day. But I
thought I only imagined it. / also
suspected they were listening in
the corridor outside. One evening
couple of the pilots were down from
Malang-going back the same night
sitting on my bed while we talked
over new orders, and somehow a
feeling grew on me we were being
watched. / whispered to the others
to go on talking, slipped off my
shoes, tiptoed to the door. Just as
I opened it I caught glimpse of
white robe fitting around the corner.
When I got out into the blacked-out
corridor, I could see nothing. But
then ! was sure.
"That night I slept with my brief
case under my pillow. In addition
every bed was provided with Dutch
widow. At first the American pilots
didn't know what to make of this
and would kick them out on the floor.
! should maybe explain that Dutch
widow is long padded bolster, and
if you sleep with it between your
knees, it keeps your legs from press
ing together and sweating in the
tropical heat. After a while the
pilots began to like them.
"But that night went to sleep
wondering about the white shape
I'd seen fit around the corner. It
seemed about the same size as the
waiter who had been staring at me
in the dining room for the past three
days. Only staring isn't quite the
word. Because this particular little
chili-picker had CLASSY eyes like a
turtle. ! could never catch them di-
rectly on me, but had the feeling it
was I he was interested in.
1.-TWO nights later Lieutenant JAG
quet came up from Malang. BY the
time we had finished work it was so
late suggested he'd better spend
the night with me. I put my brief
case under my pillow as usual. On
this particular night it contained
something so important I don't even
like to talk about 1t now. Maybe
