tual fighting seemed remote and TIM
real.
They saw nothing Of the enemy
and heard nothing of him. There
were SO few evidences of his exist
ence that they were hardly worth
while. Even the two cots in their
tent hadn't been vacated by dead
men, but by men who had contract
ed tropic fever and been sent home.
The native girls ran when Mr.. Tink-
er made approaches; they didn't
trust any human being in sol
dier's uniform.
All in all, Mr.. Tinker was very
much disguised. He said he might
as well be home working at his
plumbing, and he told Mr.. Wrinkle he
might as well be home in his shop.
Mr.. Wrinkle, on the other hand,
could not conceal from himself the
fact that he was pleased. He
breathed easier, thinking that if this
was all there was to it, it wasn't so
bad. To the north, he knew, lay
the airfield and the main part of the
American forces Of occupation. And
farther on there was jungle fighting
where men stalked each other
through the underground and sniped
from the trees. But this was not
his business, and he came into con-
tact with none of those whose affair
it was.
Mr.. Tinker hoped to be sent north
on some mission. ''It's the only
way can see for me to get me my
Jap;" he said.
Mr.. Wrinkle didn't understand how
he could expect this. "You'd be on
other duty" he pointed out.
"Not all the time I WON'T" Mr..
Tinker said. "You wouldn't tell any,
body" he pleaded, eff I went off
for a while, would you, Pop?"
"You won't do any such thing"
Mr.. Wrinkle scolded.
Mr.. Tinker remained silent, look
ing glum but determined.
Mr.. Tinker had only contempt for
the south tip of the island, to which
he and Mr.. Wrinkle were sent sew
eral times to rescue vehicles in diff
ficulties. He could hope to find no
Japs there. The shore was lined
with American machine-gun fox
holes, and it was here that the Al
phabet, to his chagrin, was sta
toned.
Sergeant Czeideskrowski and his
crew, including Freddie and Jack,
agreed with Mr.. Tinker about their
part in the war. Nothing, they felt,
would happen in the portion given to
them. They had come thousands Of
miles to sit and watch and wait for
action that would never materialize.
They -- with Mr.. Wrinkle - over
looked the fact that when you are in
a war you are in a war.
Awakened early one morning, Mr..
Wrinkle and Mr.. Tinker were told to
report to the orderly tent on the
double-quick. Their Commanding
Officer looked grim when he told
them

CHAPTER XII

At lunch time they were at last
told where they were going. Nothing
was said about the main convoy.
From the beginning It had been
planned to send them to the island
of Talizo, one Of the steppingstones
in the retrieving Of certain precious
stones stolen by the japanese when
no one was looking.
The south end Of the fifty-mile-long
island had been captured by Ameri-
can forces, along with an airfield
conveniently just completed by the
Japs, who still held the northern half
of Talizo. They would land some
time the next morning.
Mr.. Wrinkle searched in his guide
book for the entry under Talizo. To

his satisfaction he found that the is
land had cannibals. It was, in fact,
noted for them.
Late that afternoon a collection Of
dark dots came out of the sinking
sun ahead of them. The gun crews
of their own and the other ships
sprang to their stations, alert and
tense. But soon word was passed
about that these were their own
planes, come to protect them in that
most dangerous of all times, dusk on
the sea.
No enemy, from under, on, or over
the sea appeared either that night or
at dawn when the planes returned
to take up their vigil and escort the
convoy to port.
Land, now made out boldly, was
seen to be low-lying shore reach
ing up abruptly to towering volcan-
ic mountain ridge running along the
far side of Talizo. It was scene
of such beauty as to be very nearly
unreal. AS they approached closer,
here and there the white wisp of a
waterfall could be seen throwing it.
self down from the mountain jun
giles and disappearing into the thick
green growth below.
That war and the killing and
manning of men could exist on this
peaceful looking island did not seem
credible.
Looking at it, all you wanted to do
was to land here, among the palm
trees on the white sandy shore and
spend the rest of your life.
Mr.. Wrinkle and his several thou
sand companions gazed at it with
awe and wonderment. The island
was almost the thing for which Mr..
Wrinkle searched, and he wondered
if he would find it here.
Mr.. Wrinkles impression Of land
ing was not one of danger, but Of
fascination.
Their troopship was the first YES
sci through the mine field and the
opening made by a small tug draw
ing back the boom Of the submarine
net. Almost before the anchor was
down in the harbor, landing nets
were being thrown over the sides Of
the ship and boats lowered.
They climbed down, packing them
selves in the lifeboats. Three of
these, tied together, were pulled by
a launch to one of the piers. The
men stared at half-sunken supply
ship they passed. Some of them
identified shore batteries placed on
either point of the harbor.
It was hot on land, after the sea,
as they marched through the town.
Passing by the matched huts, they
saw that most of them were vacant.
Only here and there were they occu-
pied by brown-skinned people whose
large dark eyes gazed at them apa-
thetically. A few of them were girls
clad in a simple garment of printed
cloth which left one shoulder bare
and outlined the rest of their slim
bodies to their knees.

Mr.. Tinker. "Whadda you known"

Photographs that have become
discolored and dirty from being
displayed without frames may be
cleaned by rubbing methylated
spirits over them. This should be
done very quickly, and in a room
without fire or a naked light.
Shoe trees may be used in dry
ing wool socks or stockings to pre-
vent them from shrinking.
Open space between garments
hanging in closet helps them to
hold the press and keeps them
from getting stringy look.
A small magnet (if you can get
one) is a handy item for picking
up pins and needles off the sewing
room floor.
Look for achievements at toes
and heels when buying mems
socks. Tops should be elastic
enough to allow the foot in and
out with ease and yet recover their
shape to fit snugly.
Sew a piece of strong material
inside the back of the cuffs on
mems pants. This will prevent
that frayed appearance.
A tablespoonful of epson salts
added to the starch will greatly
stiffen articles such as mems col
lars.
Busters that have become very
soiled and greasy are more easily
cleaned and give better results if
a tablespoon of paraffin is added
to every gallon of water in which
they are washed. Rinse in boiling
water and afterwards in cold.
When food has been spilled on
the open coils of the electric range
allow it to char, then brush it off

Mr.. Wrinkles heart leaped as he
saluted with Mr.. Tinker and hur-

Mr.. Wrinkle was very much afraid
that this might be so. ''Nine," he
said. ''That's the Alphabet"
At the motor park tent they found
the men on duty there had the same
tense attitude. ''You'd better take
some extra cartridge clips" they
were told. These were given to
them.
They drove out. Mr.. Wrinkle didn't
like the extra cartridge clips, but
he did feel better to have rifles slung
alongside the bouncing car.
When they reached the road run
ming south along the shore, they
saw the mist. Between hillocks of
the beach ridge they could make it
out standing like a wall several hum
bred yards offshore, mysterious,
dangerous, unreasonable.
It made Mr.. Tinker enthusiastic.
