Taking her 'wrist in his hand he

Outside the froilt door the two men
at the gate saluted. Shivering in her
fur carpe, .Odette stumbled up into
the car.
"What ,are we going to do?" she
asked as the car moved slowly off.
"Yon -are going to identify Fergus
Leiter.",'
They slowed -down ibefore the large
swinging door of. the hotel, One of
the police •oflficers rang the bell.
• God hi heaven what a stroke of
luck. Alfred Cummins at the door.
Mi. Wynter!"
"Yes. That's all right." Inside
the hall, they spoke in whispers.
,.John took Alfred aside., '
"We've got to eatch him red-hand-
ed. How shall we do it?" He looked
down into Alfred's wide eyes.
"I can do it sir," said Alfred in-
stantly. "I nearly got him today,
with his pocketbook, but he was
too sharp. May I say what I think,
sir?"
"Yes, say what you like."
"I'll : go into his "room first and
wake him taking the key away,
quick. When you hear= me say,
'Heil Hitler,' you come in."
"You hear that, Inspector?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then let's go upstairs," said
John under his breath.
"When I say, 'Heil Hitler'," Alfred
repeated.
'Alfred's first move after enter-
ing the pitch-black room was to re-
move the key :from the door. Then
he stood, very still reflecting. There
might be a fight; re -opening the
door a crack, he pushed out the
key. "Splendid," John whispered.
After .a second or two Alfred ad-
vanced close to the bed. "Sir, sir,
Mr. Leiter, sir."
"Hallo, what's that?" Fergus Lei-
ter sat up instantly wide-awake.
Switching on his bedside light, he

"Well ,.over an hour;; sir," gasped
Alfred. I"That's what; I thought—
there's trite yet if you and me get
busy. I'.11 watch the door to see that
no one, comes in,"
"Is the key in the nock?"
"Yes, sir," said Alfred turning to
the door.
("Blast her!" ,Ahour ago; then
they .An would soon be on their way
bath• The IIigh Command had no
mercy on those: who bungled their
robs;,he aught never to have left it
Ito a woman.
• "Here is your dressing gown,
Isir." • • •
"Go and stand by the door. If
anyone knocks don't answer it.."
"Yes, sir."
"How: was it that you happened
to be awake just now?" Fergus had
drawn back the curtains.
• "I never seem to sleep, sir," said
Alfred virtuously. "Out on the cliffs
I've been waiting and watching so
that I could give you a fair report
in the morning before you left. And
when there wasn't even a chink of
light showing, I 'carne' back as quick
as I could, so that you should know
in time." •
"I see. Put out the light by my
bed." Fergus spoke quickly. The
sound of a plane; about fifteen miles
off, his trained ear calculated swift-
ly. They would be flying level in
less toan five minutes. Two would
probably break formation to come
nearer in. He would wait for that.
"Yes, sir,". Alfied clicked down
promising them indulgences for their
relations who are prisoners in G'er-
tnany'. I tried to convey a message
tonight, but ." O'dettc dropped her
facein her hands.
"That's enough,'r he said. "Now,
then, Inspector, take him away and
I'll see you. in the morning. Keep
hiensafe and let me have his suit-
cases. Thanks to Cumarins we al-
ready have his pocketbook." To Al-
fred he said, "You have done well,
my boy."
"Tlianlc you, sir." Alfred's starry
eyes were 'fixed on the man who had
given him a •chance of his life.
And then, : somehow, all the ex-
citement died down. Alfred let them
all out and they got into the car. A
second car had arrived into which
Fergus wag hustled with the in-
spector.
"How they do arrange things,"
thought Alfred as he tumbled into
his bed. Perhaps he would hear
more tomorrow.
After Mr. Wynter had finished his
whispered conversation andgone
away, Grace had decided to dress
and go downstairs. Something' odd
was on foot, and she had a pretty
shrewd idea of what it was. Not
that she was going to say, but one
thing would be quite sure—when
Mr. Wynter and Miss Hannan came
back they would want something to
eat.
"Good heavens, I never knew such
a woman!" While Odette stood
drooping under the hall light, John
the light with One hand and slipped had a whispered colloquy with Grace
the other under the pillow. Shak-
ing in every limb, his icy trembling
fingers closed on the pocketbook. He
'tiptoed back to the door,'' opened it a
crack and pushed the pocketbook in-
to a waiting hand.
"Who's opening the. door?" Gosh!,
that• had been a near shave. Alfred
had forgotten that an open door
would make a draft.
"No one, sir," said Alfred, "It's
shut as tight as tight since you told
me: •It might be the wind getting
up."
"Stay where you are. They're.
coming back, it's not too late. God!
'that girl shall suffer for this." Yes,
they were coming back;. a great !finished; done with. She would have
in the kitchen.
"I felt that you'd be hungry, sir.
It's in the sitting room and I man-
aged to get the fire going again."
"Well, Grace, I have no words,"
John went back into the hall and
taking her by the arm, he led Odette
into the sitting room. A bright fire
and two chairs drawn up close to it.
A. small table just the right height
for the two low chairs. (
"Did youever?" he said,
"Yes, she's wonderful." Odette'c
voice was flat and weary.
"Cheer up."
"I'm all, right." Now that it was
all over, Gdette'g, temporary rise of
spirits
had died down again. It was
g swarm of angry bees. Over the
heavy sea the sound came loude
'and louder. Ali, yes, here they
were, two of them coming in nearer
Ito pick. up his deadly message, the
exact location of the exact military
objective. Leaning far out the win-
dow, Fergus began to wave his ,torch
from side to side. Nearer, nearer,
Alfred was mad with excitement.
"Heil Hitler!" He said the words
in an excited penetrating whisper.
To John's attentive ear pressed hard
against` the door' it was a welcome
sound. So often these things went
wrong at the last. moment; suspicion
was apt to communicate itself to the
suspect.
"What! . . , you little . . ." As
the wind swept through the room,
Fergus turned from the window
with a ' hiss of fury. Struggling
through the darkness, he lunged
forward; the local constable closed
the door silently behind him.
"That's it, you can turn the light
en now." John had drawn the cur-
tains. He could safely leave ;Fergus
to the Inspector. They were on the
floor, the, Inspector was on-thd
top.
"That's all right." ,John's long
legs straddled the two. Putting' his
foot on one of Fergus' clawing
hands he clipped the handcuffs on
the other.
"You wait until I,. get hold of
you." Suffocating with rage. Fer-
gus was trying to get at Alfred, who
stood there gravely,staring. Well, it
was all over; would Mr. Wynter say
he had done well? No, not over yet.
John, • walking out into the hall,
stood and looked down on Odette's
small felt cap. She was leaning
against the wall, her head bowed.-
He . slipped his, hands under her
cape and heard her cry, out as the
handcuffs slipped from her wrists.'
"We've got him. Now, then,I
just want you to' identify him." A
torrent of abuse poured from Fergus'
white mouth when he saw her.
"Can you identify this man?"
John asked quietly.
"Yes." Oldette spoke firmly, for
his touch had told her what her tor-
tured heart had' been afraid to be-
lieve. He did love her.
"His• name is Fergms Leiter."
"Tell us anything that' you, ,now
about•him, briefly."
"He sent me .down here to convey
messages to Germany by signals to
passing aircraft. I am only one of
scores of women whom he has :made
work for him in the same way by
to begin a ain so
g , mewnere etse
r'where she was not known. She bowed
(her face in her hands and wished
she were dead.
"Come." John held out his arms.
She had suffered enough, that was
quite certain, and the suffering was
not yet over, She still had to give
evidence before a closed court in
London. However, he would make
that as easy as he could for her,
and the fact that she was bis prom-
ised wife would ' go a long way to
make it very easy indeed.
"A filthy spy? No you don't want
me there."
"Try."
"No." She buried her face in her
hands again. He hated to see her
yellow head abased,
"Don't"
"Don't what? It's my turn now to
ask questions." Odette's voice was
hard. I
'Don't hang your head; it's not
like you."
"How can I ever hold' it up
again?"
"As my wife. Easily," said John
cheerfully, He stood, and watched
the misery on her face merge into
incredulity.
"As your wife?"
"Of course. Haven't I asked, you
before? No. P' believe I haven't.
business first, you know." He
caught her to hint' as she flung mit
her bands, "You don't believe it?
Nonsense, Odette, don't pretend.
You knew it all the time,"
"No, no . . I didn't . . not
that; not
, your wife. You can't mean
it. John, you can't:"
"But •I do." : He took her face be-
tween his ]rands. "Poor little dar-
ling," he said, "you have had a heck
of .a time. But it's over now. That
brute . . that slimy brute is locked
up." ,
"john ." She spoke after a
long pause. "What about Alan?"
"Alan? Well, personally, I think
you can rely on the Red' Cross. Don't
let's think about 'Leiter now." He
kissed her hair as he pushed her
down into her• chair:
"John ..

VVHEN war demands have been
filled ... when invasion gasoline,
aviation gasoline, Navy fuel oil, petro-
leum for the manufacture of explosives,
synthetic rubber, and gasoline for war`
indusfry, farthing and essential truck-
ing all have been taken from Canada's
oil supply — it doesn't leave a lot for
the civilian!
Figure it out for yourself. It takes
5,250,000 gallons of gasoline to fuel
5,000 bombers and fighters for a
mission over Germany. It takes enough
oil for one fueling of a battleship to
heat an average house for 350 years. It
takes 18,000 gallons of gasoline to keep
one armoured division on the move for
one hour.
From petroleum and petroleum
gases we obtain the gasoline and fuels
needed to power planes and ships and
tanks as well as the raw material for'
acetone, ammonia and toluol for ex-
plosives, organic chemicals for an-
aesthetics, naphthas for camouflage
paints and plastics and resins for war
weapons production.
This is why civilian gasoline is short.
This is why it's up to every motorist,
to every owner of an oil -heated home,

to exercise the strictest economy in
gasoline or fuel oil usage. Every gallon
we can do without here at home is one
gallon more for the fighting men. And
they need every gallon they can get.
Two full years of gasoline rationing
and fuel oil control in Canada have
saved 393,000,000 gallons of gasoline
and 175 million gallons of fuel oil - a
total saving of 568,000,000 gallons of
petroleum products. Yet, despite this
saving, gasoline stocks on hand in
Canada, as of March 31st, this year,
were 55,000,000 gallons less than at
the commencement of rationing, April
1, 1942.
Oil has a mighty war job to do — yet
supplies are short and are constantly
dwindling. Oil powers the attack on
every front. Oil can mean the difference
between success or failure, between
light casualty lists and
heavy. Oil, is vital ammuni-
tion — not to be wasted, not
to be needlessly, frivolously
spent.

Answering Your
Questions about the
Gasoline Shortage
What are Canada's total yearly re-
quirements of motor gasoline?
Approximately 800,000,000 gal-
lons. Do these requirements have
to cover both military and civilian
needs? ... Yes. Why cannot this
supply be increased? , . . Because
total hemispheric supplies are in-
adequate to meet both the colossal
whr demand and civilian needs.
There is not enough oil, there are
not enough tankers, for both. Noce
much of Canada's petroleum needs
is supplied from Canadian wells?
Only 15% Why can't this home
production be increased? ... Every
effort is being made to do so. More
new wells are being drilled or pre-
pared for drilling, than at any time
in the history of Western Canada,
but we have yet to find a new
Turner Valley. War does not wait
for new production.

"He inakes me laugh." Odette, in
a ridiculously shaped new hat, was
standing making up her face in
front of the mirror hi her first-class
compartment.
"He'll make a good many people
laugh on the 'other; side of their
faces before he'sfinished with it,"
said John tumultuously. For John
was ridiculously happy. All had
gone wet in London, and they were
on their way back to Battle Point.

spy, had dare valuable work by
helping to round up someone who
was a spy and a very, dangerous
one .at that. 'Fergus Leiter would
very .probably be shot; in any event
there was not the remotest change
of his ever being free again.
So John was happy. And so was
Odette, bewilderingly so. For there
had been a letter from Alan to her
mother in, Geneva and a, good many
of . them were about to be transferr-
ed to Switzerland,above the Lake

,beautiful, and having finished her

termed them, Odette sat down
opposite her lover and leaned her
face on her hands and gazed out at

Proposed Poultry Research
Institute
Establishment of a Canadian Egg.
and Poultry Research Institute by
the poultry industry was proposed at
Ontario's 1944 Poultry Conference
held recently in Toronto. Research
projects for immediate consideration
might include the determination of
essential food items in eggs, it was
suggested.
Additional research ,projects reco-
mended to the Conference were the
problem of maintaining a high stan-
dard of flavour in eggs, improve-
ment of the baking quality of dried
eggs, and the presentation of poul-
try to the consumer in more accep-
table form as eviscerated birds, or
cuts, .or cooked or canned. The cost
of operating such a research insti-
tote was estimated at a minimum of
$15,000 annually.
Among those attending the Confer-
ence were representatives of On-
tario's some 600 egg grading sta-
tions, who decided to band themsel-
ves into a provincial association. The
station operators unanimously ap-
pointed a provisional b,oar'd of direc-
tors to draw up the constitution, and
to obtain a charter. The board con-
sists of: • A. "L, Colthart, St. Mary's,
president; Martin Phelan, Osgoode,
and William Doyle, Sutherland, vice-
presidents; and . Harold Hunter, . St,
Mary's, .secretary -treasurer.
Meeting; for the first time in pro-
vincial conference, chick sexers em-
ployed by'Ontario hatcheries decided
o joint t
t the Ha cl cry Approval Asso
eiation of Ontario. The Support of.
this established ,body will enable
sexers to maintain the high qualifi-
cations required in' their 'profession,
said the 'sneeting's Chairman, A, A.
Picksen, Oakville.
The Conference was arranged by
the Poultry Industry Committee of
Ontario.
Little Cone Tells Big Story;
Coniferous trees similar to present
clay forms evidently flourished, in the
area we now know as Southern, Alta.,
long before the appearance of man.
Quite oeeently the Royal Ontario 1MIu-
seunt unearthed a splendidly preser-
ved fossil cone resembling a pine
Bone in general appearance. It was
discovered in the rocks of the Red.
Deer Valley, the. sante rocks in which
dinosaur skeletons are entombed. The
specimen is a rarity for probably..
only "one in a Million" cones reached
the fossil state. The tree that produe-
ed it once grew in a forest which oc-
cupied the borders of a long -vanished
inland sea. It and the other trees of
this ancient forest finally perished,
sank to earth, and became buried.
They are gone but not forgotten be-'
cause 'their compacted remains give
ns to -day at least some of our west-
ern coal reserves and too, there is
the fossil cone in the museum as 'a
reminder.
