L 6N EK1GrrT BY BLANCHE ROBERTS THE ENEMY AGAIN CHAPTER X There were no shots from above, but a murmur of excited voices reached Tom and Judith. Flashlights played all around, never quite spotting them under the wharf. For a few c-ocands the swimmers stopped paddling in the seater and huddled together, hold- ing to the barnacled post. "This can't last long, Judy," Burke whispered hoarsen-, his teeth chattering. "They'll find us stere. They know we're under here." "Let's take a chance of swim- ming for it," Judith said._ "If they shoot at us it might attract at- tention and bring help of some kind. They may not take that chance. Anyway, Pd rather drown than freeze to death," she said, shivering. "Then conte on, darling." The endearing word strengthened her with new hope. They moved in and around the boats, swimming as quietly as possible, but their pursuers' lights picked them out. No shots carate, but Judith was tense with fear. Swimming furiously now, they drew out of the lights' range and reached a white schooner anchor- ed off shore. With great diffi- eulty Tom got himself aboard and pulled her up. They were ex- hausted and cold. "I'm not sure this is a safe place but it gives us a chance," Tom panted, scanning the dark- ness. • "Surely they can't hound us much longer. The detective should he along SOOTI. He was to follow` me." Judith drew her shoulders forward and wrapped her arms around herself f'.or protection. against the -cold t r * "I'Irx •user.- Ing, Tom -- - simply freezing to • death:'. He took her hand .and pulled her along the deck to the cabin door. Luckily it was not locked. Judith stumbled down the first step but he caught her up in lily arms and set her safely on the floor below. His arms dropped away from her at once while her heart cried out to him not to ]et her go. "1f I can find some old clothes for us," he said, fumbling in the .ark for closets. "We've got to get out of these wet things before we catch pneumonia." There was nothing to be found, but he kept looking. Judith's fingers discovered a blanket on one of the bunks and she wrapped herself in it, wet clothes and all, and sat down on the edge of the NES BRITAIN 1 R bunk. Quite without 1*7twili.ng, she laughed ---a laugh that was next to teat's and hvsteries. "When '1 get out of this mess, the company owes me a real va- cation and another rain in salary. I'll never be the san`." "You poor, street darlings," said Toni softly from acro: e the room. Judith stared in the direction of his voice. Her heart thumped against her ribs so loudly she wondered if he couldn't hear it. A devilish inip17ISC rose in her to taunt him. "Don't tell me you really have a heart." "One that heats for a redhead," he laughed. "Now dos. t try to snake me say more. Judy, not un- til we are out of this. Then 1'11 prove what a real sentimental streak I have. What you have gone through for me . . . "You don't owe me a thin, Toni Burke," she flared hotly. "I have .only been following orders.

IS the inspired tinker could have looked out a few .weeks ago from his old cottage window he would have seen Italian prisoners of war putting the finishing touches to the new main drainage system of land which for centur- ies has been a swamp at wet sea- sons.

The area through which the Spring of Life still flows is new growing;, the bread of life. :a S S There was a swift movement and Judith felt herself pulled in- to strong arms and against a wet coat and a body that shivered with cold. His hand tilted her head back and he kissed her—a kiss that set her whole body tin- gling with excitement. He freest her lips but held her tightly he his arms. . "It's •a free world, Judy, dar- ling," he told her huskily. "I have a right to be sentimental any time 1 want to and without changing my' mince about things." She pushed at him and strug- gled to get out of his arms. An- other minute and she would be weeping. "Well, I don't; )vane any of your oc*e," she said and wondered how she was telling swell a lie—it was the only thing in the world she did. want. eyo He kissed her again.

Then he let go of her so abruptly that she fell back to the bunk. 13e drew in a sharp breath and moved away from her. Judith was too stubborn to give way to tears and let him know he had won. Instead she got angry. "Let's have a light ---:pies or no spies," she demanded and stood up. "Judith, sweet—" he said, "why don't you give in and say^-" He broke off abruptly. "Sh—" he whispered. Her heart beat chok- ingly. Into the quiet there came* the sound, close at hand, of oars dip- ping into the sea. ' "Oh, Tom!" she whispered and stumbled forward against hill, forgetting her anger, wanting only the love and protection of his arms. "You were right. In- vestigation is not a girl's job.

Axis Ship Losses Ip Mediterranean Britain Receives Food Education Lord Woolton Claims Knowl- edge Will Not Be Forgotten Food education is one of the most important contributions Lord Woolton and the Ministry of Food have made to the nation and in the opinion of the Minis- ter it will have a permanent effect. Lord Woolton ,cited the ,case of children to whom proper foods are available to enable them to grow to manhood. and womanhood, free from the ailments of under -nour- ishment. Before the war, he says., well- to-do parents knew what foods to give their children, but this knowledge was not common among working class parents. Since the war, and its consequent food control, all families have been on more or less the same diet and the Ministry has made• available to parents not only the food but the knowledge neces- sary to bring' up healthy children. "And this -knowledge," he says, 'cis not something which will be forgotten." Tn the'future, he predicts, chil- dren will be more scientifically fed than. in .the past, and he ex- pressed' the 'hope that the limited pre-war program of feeding chil- dren at school only if they were under -nourished had been replac- ed for all time by the modern idea that all children at school need hot noon -day nmettle.. British restaurants. and factory canteens are mother war develop- ment Lord Woolton expects to re- main. They have brought "lux- ury'' meals within the working man's means and their benefits are such that they snust continue after the war.
