BONDS PURCHASED FOR l,5OO BABIES

 sters, Peace for World

Bonds for Babies are cash in the bank for young America" Flor ence L. Harrison, director of woln- ems activities for the Connecticut War Finance Committee, said to- day.
 Foresighted parents and relatives who are buying bonds in the names of youngsters are doubly insuring the future of those children, for they are putting the investment to use immediately to secure a lasting peace. and at the same time they are storing away the nucleus Of educations and livelihoods, she pointed out.
 More than 1900 babies in Con- necticut, under two years of age, have had War Bond investments made in their names in the past six weeks, Miss Harrison said today, and each of the liliputian bond holders, along with his bond, is re- ceiving a colorful certificate or ownership designed by Walt Disney and is having his name submitted to the Treasury's National Cradle Roll of Honor.
 Young parents throughout the state believe that putting their sav- ings into bonds to help defray the expenses of family life in 10 years a sound investment, the State War Finance womens director attested, and industrial and business work CTS who are enrolled on the payroll savings plan in increasing numbers are signing over many of their bonds to the young members Of their families
 Grandparents, toofi feel that buy ing bonds for the third generation" is a sound way of perpetuating their memory in the minds and hearts of their grandchildren in addition to lending their support to the nation during the stress of war. 4 great

North To Danger

Dimly at the waters edge, Colin
made out muskrat tunnel, leading
back into the willows. and here the
CLEAN of peeled stake bore wit
ness that man was hunting too
with traps Of double awed steel.
The lonely cry of loon rose from
among the reeds, and across the lake
he could see twinkle of light from
the direction of Doves school. Eyes
on the far-off bank, he began knock
ing the ashes from his pipe; then
suddenly he realized the light had
gone. He looked at the radiant dial
Of his watch-not yet ten. They
kept early hours at the school.
Picking up his paddle, he raised
his head to see the light cleaning
again, brighter than before. Breath
less with interest, Colin leaned for
ward-once more the light flashed
on and off. Then blackness closed.
A signal? The signal Blair had
spoken of? His eyes traversed the
lake, but there was no answering
CLEAN from out the night, and, turn
ing the bow of his canoe, Colin
headed directly toward the school.
A half hour later a huge, shadowy
object loomed up like a great sea
bird resting-Blair's plane, moored
for the night. 1t could not have
been her motor, then, that he had
heard. In moment more the canoe
grated on the shore, and, stepping
out. he hid it in a clump of willows
and climbed the bank.
Vaguely Colin made out the main
group of buildings clustered across
the clearing. Beyond them, almost
at the clearing's edge, stood the
barn, and farther TO the left. three
cabins. One Of them would be DR..
Benedict's.
But his interest was focused on
the solitary structure he had first
seen that morning from across the
lake. Built of rough-hewn logs,
with a roof of stained native shin
giles, it was taller than the rest, and
at the farther end wing of frame
boards extended shoreward. Moth
ing in the building itself could ex-
plain the feeling of foreboding it
gave him -.
Keeping well back in the shad-
ows, Colin circled the clearing. Near
the cabins a burst of frantic bark
ing brought him to instant immo-
bility, and he stood there scarcely
breathing until he heard Blair's
voice calling to the dog. He could
take comfort at least in knowing
that all was well with Blair.
So he turned toward the shore;
then suddenly stiffened. From out
of the darkness footsteps were
coming down the path, and soon a
muffied figure hurried by, disap-
pearing toward the lake.
Not Dove. Much too big for Dove.
Patiently Colin waited through long
minutes, then once again the sound
Of footsteps, and this time two
figures emerged. each carrying two
ten-gallon gasoline cans, empty. it
seemed, from the ease with which
they bore them.
Colin saw that the man ahead
was Jonathan Dove. Within ten
PAGES they passed and, going direct
ly to the isolated building, dis
appeared inside. But the door re-
manned open, and Colin crouched
back among the spruce, waiting.

| ~You haven't talked to Nate
about this?"
She shook her head. Father and
Nate never liked each other, and
Mates too"-she searched for the
word-"too headstrong. He'd go to
Dove and threaten him, and that
might mean Fathers dismissal from
the school,"
Colin stepped from the plane.
"How soon can | see your father?"
Tomorrow"
"I'll come over to the school to-
morrow" He climbed down from
the plane and looked up at the girl.
"Blair, tonight is Doves first night
back in Learmonth. There's fair
chance something may happen to-
night. Be on the watch; be ever
lastingly careful"
He spoke with such grave ear
nestness that for the first time Blair
felt the touch of fear. "You think"
al don't think Il know we're
dealing with a killer"
Quietly she said, "Ill be on
watch"
He waved as she took the air,
and watched her plane grow smaller
in the eastern sky. Even after she
had disappeared he stood there,
looking out over the lake, listening.
A greaA calm held the world-that
of a northern sunset-but within
| himself Colin felt neither calm nor
peace. For he was on that grim
NEST of errands--the man hunt.
| Man hunt. The words brought
him back to the yellowIng photo
graph hidden in the cabin. There
must be no leak in getting that into
the right hands. The safest way
would be for Blair to fly it down to
Winnipeg, even though it meant
waiting until freeze-up.
With brooding eyes Colin watched
the light fading, while he felt a
growing uneasiness at the thought
of Blair. He had warned her to be
careful, and yet - this would be
Doves first night back.
Darkness fell. For over an hour
he waited for Alec, then cooked
himself a solitary meal. With
growing restlessness he moved
about the cabin until, on a sudden
impulse, he wrote a note for Alec
and, picking up a paddle, walked
down to the canoe.
Just before he pushed out from
shore, he heard the drone Of an air.
plane moving out of the north, and
flying so high that only in family
recurrent throbs could he hear the
faint song of motor. Colin won
dered if it could be Blair returning
to Mates cabin.
He padded more swiftly now,
bending his head to the wind. 1t
was eight miles by water from his
cabin to the trading post-Dove's
school must be two miles closer.
A little ice formed on the paddle,
and once he stopped in the lee of
an island TO smoke. About him, I'M
seen and only family heard, surged
the teeming, mysterious life of lake
and forest. Fish were jumping out
beyond the canoe, and back on shore
sharp, small cry of agony and
the crackle of dry grass told him
that another tragedy Of the wilder
ness had been played out. The
nightly hunt was on, the unremit-
ting search for food before snow
and the bitter cold of winter forced
all living things to their dens to
wait and watch, and then 10 hunt
again.

Her eyes, so often smiling, were
very earnest now, and for an in
slant his own eyes probed her very
, depths; then lightly he kissed her
lips and said, I'D trust you with
my life"
Colin held her, watching while
the blood flowed upward to her
cheeks and he felt the sudden
warmth of her hands. Only then
did he move slowly back, but his
voice was vibrant when he asked,
