1t. Davis is back in this country
after completing his missions over
Germany. He is at Nashville, Tenn,
with the Air Transport Command.
Twelve years ago today he was a
16-year-old high school boy in Ashe-

comfortable future in that pleas

Their was president of a bank.
But II years ago tomorrow the
bank closed along with all others in
the United States. But that one
did not reopen.
Despite this reverse to the family
fortunes, 1t. Davis went through
college. He worked in the library
of Duke University, tutored fellow
students and borrowed money from
the university.

AS secretary and treasurer of the
Seaboard Finance Corp. here, which
operates string of small-loan es-

still repaying the university loan

His parents had moved to Wash
ington two years before. His father,
the former bank president, engaged
in real estate transactions with the
backing of friends here. Both Mr..
and Mrs Davis operate two houses
on N street as boarding houses for
young people in the Government.

He stopped and put his arms

then simply held her close again

outward calm, they were tense
with the danger of this mission
They were inwardly keyed up by
the dramatic situation in which
they found themselves. And fol

for them to feel a unity, from
which each gained comfort and
strength.

'T'ro afraid that, even with good

eve must wait that long," Doc

did we come here for? To save
these men if we could. Then and
only then, to try to get out with
them.'
'sBut every day we're here"
Jerry protested, increases our
chances of being detected. The
Germans have planes over here
all the time. It looks as if it will
be clear tomorrow, for instance.
And every day the Germans are
working away at that road block
where the French blasted the
rocks in the defile. They'll be
getting through before long
and"
IT realize all of that" Doctor
Overton said calmly. ''But our
first duty is to the wounded men.
We must do what we can to eff
feet their recovery. Then we
must try to get out with them.
If we can't-well, maybe we can
get over the border to Switzer-
land. But there's no point in
coming in here to operate, to
treat these men, and then in be-
ing so eager to get them out that
we kill them doing it."
The next morning they awoke
with the first light of dawn.
Anxiously Jerry peered out and
saw a clear blue sky. He swore
softly, and the Frenchman at his
side grinned.

like good weather, either"
They washed in the cold waters
of a nearby mountain brook, and
then Jerry took a pan of the wa
ter back to the plane. There he
found a small tin of canned heat,
which he lit and placed under the
pan. When the water was hot, he
dumped into it two packets OF
prepared coffee.
He and the guerrilla leader had
their breakfast together. The
Frenchman smiled delightedly
over the coffee.

leaning against the rocks near
