as it came out of its dive and
started to climb: If he could just
out maneuver that Nazi!
Looking back, he saw another
plane darling out of the sun be-
hind the German that was on his
tail. The second one, he thought,
was ready to get him if the first
failed.
He heard Laura crying Jerry!
Jerry! almost Historically.
And then a strange thing hap
pened. The German plane be-
hind him, just as it was about to
open up on him, burst into flames
and hurtled toward the ground
below.
did Laura get that gun
around?" Jerry wondered. eff
she did, she's sure a dead shot!"
He swung around to try to get
in position for the attack from the
second and last of the German
planes. And then he saw it
clearly for the first time. It was
not German plane, not Mes
serschmitt! 1t was a beautiful
American Thunderbolt fighter!
It had shot down the German just
as he was about to attack.
Jerry joined Laura in her hap
py, almost crazy shouts of relief.
She had seen what kind of a
plane it was right away!
And then he wondered about
the last of the Germans. AS he
looked about for it, he saw it not
far behind the American ambu-
lance plane ahead. But three
Thunderbolts were diving at it,
and as Jerry watched, the Ger
man fighter seemed to disinte-
crate in the air.
Jerry closed up behind the am
bulance plane again., Three
Thunderbolts ranged themselves
|
on the right and three more on
the left. They were being escort
ed home!
Laura crawled up beside Jerry
and almost threw them into tail
spin as she Rugged him joyfully.
"Oh, Jerry, Jerry!" she cried.
isn't it wonderful? Well get
through now" Jerry said happi-
ly. Look, there's water ahead.
About an hour over the water and
We'll be at the base in Italy"
And then a sudden thought
struck him.
my Lord" he exclaimed. "How
did those American fighters know
enough not to attack us? How did

II fixed that" Laura said. 81
knew that any kind of signal
would do, anything that made our
plane different from the rest. So
I just reached in my satchel, got
out long roll of bandage, and let
it stream out of the turret open
ing"
Jerry looked at Laura with a
shining light in his eyes.
Laura, my love, you are Won
derful!
When they had landed and
jumped from their plane, Jerry
did what he had been wanting to
do for some time-he kissed Lau-
ra long and hard.
1t was finally Bob Boston who
broke them apart.

take care of yourselves? I go

have to come and drive the bad
men away from you just in time -
"Were you in one of those
Thunderbolts?" Jerry exclaimed
"Say now" Bob cried, 'I was
the baby who got that Nazi just
as he was about to get you'll"
Bob, bless your heart! Laura
said.
A week later, Jerry and Laura
we're sitting in comfortable wick
er chairs on a terrace overlooking
the blue waters of the Mediter-
ranean. They had been given
two weeks leave and had gone
to a little coastal village on the
tip of Italy.
Now, they had just finished
reading a note from Bob Boston
which had come that morning. It
told them that word had come
through the French Underground
that the guerrillas of the Roc d.
Enter had got through to the main
body near Annecy safely. Four
men had been lost in the. battle
at the cave, and six more along
the path leading to the field. But
the rest had got away, leaving
many German dead behind them.
There was a P. S. for Jerry on
Bob's note.
IF you succeed in persuading
her." it said, "just send me a wire
and I can wangle a day off to
come and stand up for you"
"Jerry!" Laura said sternly.

s'But we just can't expect to
get clean away" Laura protested
'eNo, I don't expect that" Jerry
I>said.
{ AS Jerry and Laura flew on in
their stolen German Messer-
schmitt, Jerry considered the
chances that they and the ambu-
lance plane could get through
safely.
Il don't think we can expect to
get clean away without some SORT
of show by the Germans" he said
s'but there will be no clouds OF
fighters after us. After all, that
observation pilot didn't see our
American plane on the field, and
so the message he radioed before
he was killed couldn't have beer
about that. He merely said some
thing that made the Germans
suspicious enough to send the
two fighter planes to investigate
And the men in those planes prob.
ably didn't get any radio message
through before they were shot
The only ones who know about
our take-off are those German
soldiers who came down the hill
to the field. They probably have
no radio with them and will have
to get back to their command posi-
before a message can be sent
That will take time"
'I suppose you're right" Laura
said.
'But when a message does gel
through, the Germans will prob.
ably send a few fighters to try
to pick us up farther SOUTH" Jer-
ry went on. However, it won't
take us more than an hour and g

when we do, we can radio ou1

ers up to meet us and escort US
in. That's one reason I've got tt

plane by radio"
They fell silent, keeping a sharp
lookout for the ambulance plane
Their German fighter was SC
much faster than the big trans
port that they knew they should
catch up soon. And they did. i
wasn't long before they saw thu
transport ahead.

| In a few minutes more, they
were not only close behind the
American plane, but were talking
to Blaiston on the radio.
"Good to know it's you," Blais-
ton said. 1--WE seen you for a
while now and I thought you were

''In about three-quarters of an
hour" Jerry said, eff we don't
meet any difficulties before then,

Germans intercepted my message

much sooner than they'd know il

"Guess you're right" Jerry
said. did you get through al
right"
"Sure-talked to a lad who
seems to know you," Blaiston re-
piled. Names Boston"
! Bob Boston" Jerry exclaimed
''Was he at the Italian base?"
'That's right" Blaiston replied
"And he's been a little worried
about you and the young lady, il
seems. I'll get in touch with him
again and tell him you're okay
and have stolen a nice German
plane for him."
They sped on, mile after mile
over what seemed to be peaceful
French countryside, without any
thing happening.
After half an hour, Laura began
to feel that they would gel
through without a fight.
81 can't believe it, though, Jer-
'ry," she said.
Don't believe it," he answer

soon now. Keep your eyes peel

"A custom for several years to

father, his second wife and their
baby son, during Christmas and
Easter weeks.
During her visits, I stay at my
mothers home in the same city,
and we take the train together

On New Years Day. 1915. her
father brought her 10 my

was sufficient. She seemed sat
