when he talked to- Freddy's stom-
ach began to quiver. He had no time
to lose.
A barrel of pickles stood beside
him. A salty layer of scum lay over
the top of the barrel. Maybe if he
ate something it would stop his
stomach shaking so, kind of steady
him. He plunged his hand deep
down beneath the scum - and then
stood petrifed. His hand had
touched bottom not far from the top
of the barrel. In moment his shak-
ing fingers found the slaves that
weren't fastened to the hoop. And
there in the barrel was the sho,t-sO0ve set.
Inn TERwILLIGER was sitting,
oddly enough, in Mr.. Bailey's office.
and Terwilliger was saying in
queer kind of voice: "Zeissler. the
kid said, eh?"
"Yeh, Zeissler," Freddy shouted.
"And you, too" He grabbed Mr..
Bailey's arm and shook it crafty.
Il tell you it's true - last night he
winked at my father. It's got some
thing to do with something in your
eye - it's their password or some
thing; and just now Zeissler did it
to me on account of l told him what
said to this guy last night; and he
misunderstood me, l tell you. He
thought l meant it so he ="
He was spun about as Terwilli-
gers arm shot out and grabbed his
shoulder. whats that? Take it
easy, kid. What's that you said
about this eye business"
Get your hands off me-" Freddy
shouted. He turned back frantically
to Bailey. II got Zeissler trapped
with my father - and l found his
short-wave set in the pickle barrel
behind the store - and, he fairly
gasped for breath, maybe this
time -"
He never finished his sentence. To
his CONSERVATION Tim Terwilliger,
with Mr.. Bailey in his wake, had
dashed from the room and left him
standing there, open-mouthed.
OVER and over Freddy read the
letter that had come to him straight
from Washington:
"In grateful recognition OF the
service you have rendered to your
country.
He was on his way to Egberts,
and his eyes were blue as the sky.

"SohGETHING In MY EYE"
Continued from page seven

Imagine Terwilliger being an FBI
man! Freddy laughed aloud. And
imagine the FBI getting hep to an
enemy password somehow, and using
it to sound out spies. Boy, that took
brains. Cuts too.
Thinking of Tim blinking at his
father, Freddy doubled up with
mirth. No wonder he'd grinned
when he left. He was sure an all
right guy, Tervilliger. A glow
warmed Freddy's heart. Thinking
of his final talk with Terwilliger,
about the trap he had set for him
and all. Freddy felt like saluting the
trees. But compared to how his
family felt. to how the whole dornsd
tom felt, saluting Cragwood's trees
was tame.
The only fly in the ointment was
that Egbert had been laid up with
a cold and Freddy hadn't seen him.
A grin spread over Freddy's face.
Wait till he gave his fine-feathered
friend, this big-talking Egbert,
load of this letter straight from the
FBI in Washington.
Just as he got to the Smythes'
front lawn, Egbert came running
down the path. Say" he yelled to
Freddy. Il hear you got a letter
straight from the President or some
thing" He stopped and coughed and
jeepe,s! He looked almost shy. Gee,
Freddy, l sure would be plenty
proud to just get look at a thing
like that. You sure are a hero. Boy.
l bet you'll get to be another Tim
Terwilliger - just give you time"
fREDDY's blue eyes bulged with
astonishment. He stared down at
his shoes. Why. Great toots Of Co.
brieFs trumpet. Just listen to that.
He took out his letter and silently
handed it to Egbert.
"Why, say" he finally blurted.
"you got something to be proud of
too. If it wasn't for you tipping me
off about that cash ="
Egbert looked slightly bewil-
dered, but that was just because he
was kind of sorrowful Sam or
something.
But when you came right down
to it, Egbert was good American
the same as anybody else. And,
Freddy's chin came up. Ame1ic0'ts.
good gosh, had a 1igA to talk big. Just
let anybody try to tell him different.

Patriots Save Athens,
But Nazis Wreck Port;
Loss Is S10O,0O0,00
BY the Associated Press.


ATHENS, Oct. IT Delayed -
Athens rocked violently to German
demolition in the nearby port OF
Peraievs Piraeus) which caused
damage entimated at s1o0, ,000, 900 as
the Nazis fed north, but this ancient
Greek capital largely escaped in
jury because of counter sabotage by
| patriots.
Civil friction is feared unless the
exiled government of Premier
George Papandreou assumes au-
thority quickly. Two more minis
ters arrived with British contin-
gents, Minister of National Economy
Tsirimokos and Press Minister Kar-
tails.
Before Scurrying northward, Ger.
man Gen. Felmi declared Athens ar
open city unless our enemies fail tc
treat it as such"
The normal population of Athens
grew from 1893 900 to nearly 1000, ,O0C
during the occupation because it was
considered the safest refuge from
bombing. Money became so worth
less that the Greek puppet govern
ment finally did not bother to put
serial numbers on notes, the small
est OF which usually was for 1000
100000 drachma. Prices accordingly
rocketed to fantastic heights.
The demolitions at Piraeus de-
stroyed works built over two genera
tions. Destroyed were the dry docks
in the naval yards, the Socony, Shell
and Socombel oil storage tanks
travelling cranes and silos. whose
machinery had been removed tc
Germany. Piers, several harbor
buildings and several hundred yards
OF quays also were demolished.
Two former premiers, Gen. George
Tsolakoglou and Jean Rails, and
