CHAPTER 1
Pier Vie first tams in her life, Anne
Ordway was afraid. It wag as if in-
to the clear and serene Wight a great
be=ast had suddenly st'alkedi—a vast
golden horror that filled the sky.
She found hersreif fleeing from it,
rushing up through the garde to
the sanctuary of the house. Yet the
thing bad at first seemed so simple.
Just a whisper of servants coming
lout of the darks --"If she finds out, it
wth1l he the end of her .
Anne had been standing alone in
the shadow of., an ancient oak- To
her right was the tall hedge - that
enclosed the ..harden. And it was
from behind the hedge that she had
heard the voices. "'If 'he finds out, it
w*Till be the end of her . . ."
It was not until she had 'listened
idly for a moment that she had
known: they were talking of her
father and Mother. Saying frightful
things, things that couldn't be true.
And now, having reached the
house, she had flung the door wide,
•5l•amtmdng it chard behind her. She
stood flattened against it, her arms
outstretched as if to bar out the evil
which had pursued her. Then sud-
denly she laughed and dropped her

tared up from Baltimore tams morn-
ing. He's going to open his house."
"For heaven's sake, why?"
"Don't ask. me. I'm not his keep -
en."
"But a big house like that — a
thousand miles from nowhere."
"He's only a mile front us.",
"You knew what I mean, ,Elinor.
He's all alone. You and I have each
other and Annie and Vicky."
Anne's vuother nodded. "Yes, he's
alone, of course, but he says he is
dale own good company'."
Anne, listening, was again aware
of some stnister si gndflcanee.
For it was of David that the ser-
vants behind 4ihe kedge had talked.
Of dear delightful Davie- whom
Anne had known. since childhood
and who Abad taken her to cher first
dance. And now sire had been to
many dances, and a year ago she
had •made her bow to Baltimore so-
ciety and hadn't liked it. .
For Anne, in spite of her nine-
teen years, had never really grown
up. It had been, perdiapa, because of
Vicky. Vicky had come, r a graduate
nur=se in her white linen, to look
after the little girl of five wfhose
mother was so bound by the de-
mands of the social life about her
that she refused to be bound by the
depnands of her baby. Vicky had
been with them since then—fourteen
years in which she had set Anne's
little feet on a path which Elinor
and Francis Ordway had never fol-
lowed.
Anne's parents had necognized the
value of Vicky's F• presence, a n d
treated cher as one of • them. In j
calm eyes were lighted by a sort Vicky burned a clear flame that
of wonder, lighted the house. ,It lighted, too,
Anne's explanation went to. all of Anne's tittle torch.- The -torches of

wife, were lighted at other and less
sacred fires.
Francis Ordway took a sheaf of
bills from suis wallet and counted
therm into his wife's hand.
"Is that all?" she asked as he
returned the wallet to his pocket.
"Lt ought to be more than
enough." He smiled.
There was a spark in cher eyes.
"Oh, well, if 'it isn't, David can
carry me."
Again that sinister note!
But Francis laugheld. "Let hint

bit."
"What do you mean, Francis?"
"He owes me a lot of mloney."
She stood staring. "David?"
"I've a mortgage an his. house.

"No. How should I?"
Francis bent and' kissed hi s

"Why?"

They laughed together.

it did not satisfy Vicky. Her mother

Vicky laughed and turned to Anne.
"Hers beating me dreadfully." She
rhel.d out her hand, and Anne crossed
the room- and sat on a low seat be-
side the table_ `
As she sat there she looked at
her mother singing:
"'Po say what .Lone you've known is
true, is true,
I love but one alone, and 'tis you."

"Lt's not enough for me." His

the great oak that crown'ed the hill.
"Talk to rare, Garry."
"I have only one theme. You

She did not answer.

her. "Tell me you love me=—"
She shook her head.
"Anne, you're mine: all show you

"Let's go down."
"Not yet" The wrap which she
had put on dropped from her
shoulders. He drew it about her and
thus had her in the circle of his arm.
"Anne, tell me—"
"No."
She slipped from the cloak, leav-
ing it in his hand's; and ran ahead of
him in the direction of the thread of
smoke. Presently he caught up with

Nothing is more directly affected
by war conditions than civilian hos-
pital management and the way the
crisis was met in England gives an
idea of the immensity of the problem
before hospital authorities.
The evacuation of the patients
from the hospitals is London and
other cities was performed with cel-
erity and smoothness. As in the case
of the evacuation of children, plans
for removing hospital- patients had
been made months in advance. De-
tails were so carefully planned that'
clock -like precision marked the actual
evacu'atlon. Ambulant patients were
taken away in care provided by
Mends nds of the hospitals; then at a
stated hour coaches arrived for pate
Tents waiting on stretchers.
At some of the hospitals strong
sub -basements protected against alas
have been made ready for casualties
of air rade.
An underground operating room is
being built under the foundations of
a ,new block of buildings. at the Hos•
pita fen Sick Children, London. The
underground accommodation, the first
of lits kind in England,, will conist
of a receiving room with eighty seats
and six doer. r+g rcloms where wino
injuries can be treated; an operating
room for matter casualties with three
tables ate nine .dreeeing and anates-
thetic cubicles; a duty room for the
staff and a sterilizing room. Th'e ele^-
tric light and water supply are from
sources independent of the main ser-
vice.
A gadget tilt was- the life of the

it's the' old-fashioned stereoscope,
with which you looked through eye-
pieces at double• postcards and got
breath -taking 'three-din.•,asienal views'
of Niagara Falls and tat. taj Mahal.'
Its wartime use is ti; detection of
cieverely concealed nr.iltary strut -'r
tures and apparatus.
The principle of the stereoscope is
that through two pictures taken from
slightly different ,positions, you get
the same effect of .perspective as
when you look at something with two
eyes.
Contrast
In camouflage detection, one picture
in the ste're'oscope is a pre-war shot
of a given area; the other is a pic-
ture taken as. nearly as possible from
the same viewpoint after any sus-
pected military emipiaeemen'ts have
been made.
You clap the two pictures into the
stereoscope and with the two images
to the eye, superianposed, any differ-
ence between them stands out with
all the Monstrosity of those acciden-
tal don'ble-exposures you take -at the.
beach.
With the two pictures in different
colors, and colored lenses, on the
steneoscope, any discrepancy is even
mane glaring.
Tlria) application of the stereoscope
stems from one of its original uses
a hundred years ago. The English
natural scientist, Sir David Brewster,
used it to detect subtle differences in
rug diedgave, Coins) and documents.
$u
minute eantanalaan Of' 11QUata-
graphs is necessary because of the
extent to which the teahnrique of cam-
ouflage has advanced. Within the
rayl .ew days, Rumania has begun
camouflaging houses and even such
seemingly impossible objects as tall
oil towers.
'Elis can be done because, contr-
ary to the popular impression, hid -
ring an object depends not so much
on its shape and color as on its out-'
tine anal' texture.
Ritdr moat military observations ,
being made from airplanes, balloons
or other heights, the crux of the prob
tem is shadows.
We see dirt as brown and grass
as green, but to the military observ-
er, al'eas of dirt wp•pear white and
grass black, simply because flat earth
has little texture to cast shadows,
while grase has a tot.
If you can disguise an object's na-
tural shadow, it's more than half the
battle. Moat worlcs of natu; e are se
regular, while mast works of man are
geometrical. An airplane hangar is
conspicuous from the air mainly be-
cause of its geometrical shadow. if
you can extend and distort the sha-
dow artificially, the observer may fly
night past.
Sprig For Its Shadow
The leaf -covered nettings over g=ls
which you see in war pictures, the
shrubbery stuck in teaks and the
sprigs of leaves whioly soldiers clutch
as they scuttle across unprotected
areas provide scant covering, but
their irregular'contouns and shadows
are invaluable in confusing the eye of
the observer overhead or far away.
The basic pni.noiple of camouflag-
ing stationary military works is not
exotic disguises, but simple co-opera-
tion with nature. A mound oanarot

mound. and if a gun is emplaced on
it, natural shadows are ,just empha-
eized to oover .the added bulk,
The height of -camouflage in the
World War was when British soldiers
stuck papier-mache heads out of
trenteres' to draw fire and hence dis-
close snipers' positions, and moved
pasteboard cut-out dummies up and
down in regular waves, like a foot-
ball ohearing section, to simulate ad-
vancing troops.
