her to try to escape if bored her. But she
seemed to be interested. She even allowed me
to order her more coffee.
The thing began, as explained, in Lon

brought in by mutual friend and we all
lunched together. He seemed to be decent
lad and knew a lot of people knew. When he
heard was leaving for New York. he asked
me if would do him small service.
Shepherd was an ex-R.A.F. pilot, and he
had formed one of those deep friendships with
an American brother officer, James Copley-
Brandon. Poor old Copley- Brandon came
safely through the whole jamboree Che had
been in the thick of it,. and then crashed in a
fight from Germany to England just before
he was due to leave for home. This only ten
days earlier in the u. S. zone.

photograph of his father and mother "a
rather bulky one, too And I promised him
that if things went wrong would see that
they had it back. 1t was on him when he was
pulled out with written instructions to
send it to me-"
Shepherd said he didn't care to trust the
photograph to the mails, but had been look
ing for someone reliable to carry it across.
John Copley- Brandon, the dead pilots BROTH

and would come aboard with the reporters
and take charge of the packet.

"'I cabled them last night, said Shepherd,
and had their reply this morning. They have
reserved an apartment at their hotel and in
sist that you consider yourself their guest
while you're in New York."
BY the time had got to this point of the
story. my new friend was utterly absorbed.
Her eyes were fixed on mine. And realized.
quite suddenly. that they were lovely eyes.
''OH, BUT tell me-" she said, and impul-
sively laid her hand on my knee. Tell me

Then told her what had happened that
morning. And when I finished, she said, very
quietly:
