Angela continues her warnings. Then one night she comes home from the movies, tells Deborah she saw newsreels. of a recent ]Bold meeting which ended in a riot, "And who do you sup- pose was there?" CHAPTER IV Goodbye to Dreams "It was nobody in the world," Angela announced triumphantly, "but your beautiful, golden -haired Stephan." The cold cream jar slipped from Deborah's fingers and shat- i.c,rell against the leg of a chair. In a moment, however, she was able to say with an almost con- vincing laugh, "Not really? . . .I'll never: doubt again that you have second -sight, Angie. Well, did he get arrested?" "I don't know: The news flash didn't last that lor.g." Angie spoke with heart -felt re- gret. Then as she looked from the gob's of cold cream that spattered the floor to Deborah, her face suddenly puckered like that of a child who knows that he has been naughty, and her voice went flat. "I—just thought you ought to know," she blurted, "I mean— oh, Deb, I'm so- sorry!" "For what? After all, the good old Stars and Stripes still wave, don't they? . . And now, if you don't mind finishing the broadcast from your own bed, darling, 1 Think t'il turn in." N... •1. M - ilut after the• lights' were out, Deborah did not sleep. Instead, she lay rigid, following with wide eyes the rippling pattern cast up- on the ceiling by the headlights of passing cars. "Angie," she said suddenly into i he darkness, "I've been trying to remember—what was that jingle the Portuguese fishermen on the rape used to sing about the fog?" When Angela only murmured in drowsy protest, she insisted, "But of course you remember.. Something about the fog—always l'laiming it. own, wasn't it?" "Oh — that?" Angie yawned, "-Just 'some superstitious 110n1 - sense. . . , Let's seeL-translated very freely, it goes something like • t lis : "'Ill fated is that which comes out of the fog, tor' --just a mo- ment ---`for always in the end, it !must return whence it came. And never—' there's some more, but I r an't recall it at the moment." "I wonder what it means.' --if anything," " `If anything' is right. For Heaven's sake, go to sleep!" But then, all of a sudden, Angie was wide awake, too. "What made you ask that, Debby?" she demanded. "Oh—why, just something I'd been reading, I suppose." Deborah improvised lamely. st, ,n Next day was the last meeting of the Shakespeare! seminar.. . And next day, Stephan did not come to Hass at all. IIe had not made any engagement- with her - for -that evening. All the !text day, while Deborah was >packing to go home, she listened for the telephone, thinking that lie would call—at least to say, "Goodbye!" But he slid not. Not that it mattered, she kept telling herself. Except. that all along, knowing Stephan had been like reading a fascinating tale, which led you on and on without really telling you much, but which you followed eagerly from chap- ter to chapter because of its im- plied promise of exciting revela- tions to tonne.. , Well, now the story had simplyf stopped—with- out even a "To Be Continued." There just wasn't going to be any next chapter. Like some strange, unknown craft, Stephan had appeared briefly out of the fog; and back into the fog he had vanished, German authorities have ordered the Consumers' Co-operative of Oslo to prepare 90,000 Christmas packages, This has given rise to suspiolon 't'inst the Germans arc planning to repeat the game the) playett last year when a "Christ - alas Silt," well -laden with gifts for German soldiers, arrived with much fanfare at Oslo harbor, It was announced the ship had eolae from Germany, but later investiges tion revealed that it had taken on , its cargo at auottter Norwegian port. That Stephan was Gelman, she had always taken for granted, al- though he had never said so in so many words. But, that he could possibly be all those other things that Angie believed of flim had been—just funny—until that eve- ning when Angie had come home from the theatre with her mon- strous story. . . . From any one hut Angie, the story would have been incredible; but whatever might- be Angie's faults—curios- ity, impertinence, even some- times malicious mischief — she would not lie. Now, Deborah remembered all Stephan's strange little reticences, the deft way he had changed the subject when she had tried to get him -to talk about- himself, . • . • And she remembered that other man—older, harder, even a little sunless—whom she had some- times glimpsed beneath the light- hearted boy Stephan usually= seemed. "Victory and security canonly', be won by a real consciousness of ' what is at stake and of what is required of each one of us. One isn't making sacrifices if one's life goes on as before with what we are giving not interrupting that life in any way."—Sir Pat- rick Duff, Deputy High Commis- sioner for the United Kingdom. Admiral Thomas C. Hart The next morning Deborah and Angela started back to Cape Cod in the little cal' they had driven to California. The old Lovett house sat just across the street from the water front. The opposite lot, running down to the shore, had been kept as an open parkway, so that the early, seafaring Lovetts might al- ways have an unimpeded view of the ocean they loved. . . . The house had been built in the golden days when Yankee clippets sailed the Seven Seas, and fleets of fish- ing smacks still kept the ship- yards and wharves of the old town busy. The structure was of white frame with green shutters, Orig- inally a modest two-storey build- ing, after repeated additions by generations of Lovetts, it now rambled th rough unpredictable passageways and ells, up and clown steps 1't'otn one level to an - o then. Above the fanlight over the hospitable front door, the winged figure -head from Great -great - great -grandfather. Abner Lovett's almost legendary clipper, the Boar pie May, still stood guard, a wreath in one hand a gilded trum- pet in the other. peering --a bit self-consciously, it had always seemed to llt+boi ah ---out to sea. When you wished to enter the house, you announced your ar- rival with a ringing peal on the old skip's hell over the doorway.

Deborah drove up to the gate just in time for lunch. Bridget Lanahan welcomed her from the stoop with a flirt of her apron. She was a stout, weather- beaten woman of 55, blustery as a Cape Cod gale, with an equal capacity for high-handed bullying and loyalty. "We11, God be praised!" she paeoned above the roar of the motor. "Mind the petuny's, Miss Debby, 'Tis within an eyelash of thio yer wheels are. . . Leave the car where she stands, and:,,. come to hintb afore Inc souffle's flat entirely." At Deborah's plate was a heap of mail. As she rifled through it, her heart hesitated—then leaped. Half -way down was an en- velope ad -dressed in Stephan's bold hand. It was a short letter. He had been unhappy, Stephan wrote, not to have seen her again. He had been called away so suddenly that he had not even had time to tele- phone her. He had hoped, when he came East, to call on her as she had been good enough to suggest; but circumstances had arisen which made it impossible for him to foresee his movements far in advance. . . She had been ex- ceptionally kind to him— Kind! ' Deborah thought. Oh, Stephan!

Women Workers Impressed Queen The King and Queen returned from their tour of munitions and ordnance factories in the North ' full of admiration for the part women are already' playing on the production front. What impressed the Queen par- ticularly was the way in which women in the tank factories have adapted themselves to heavy metal work, showing themselves es quick and capable as the ex- perienced men they have replaced. Another angle which specially interested Her Majesty was the "pool" system operating at sey- eral factories, by which the mar- ried women can take their days off at short notice to correspond with their husbands' leave per- iods. .

Large steamers and motor - ships of 10,000 tons are now be- ing completed, from the laying of the keel to the final coat of paint, in just under six months. Indeed, by making parts of the hull and so on in distant workshops in- land and assembling them at the shipyard, the six months have been reduced to five and a half, Never before has Great Britain turned out ships at such a speed) and it is speed that has decided the peace -time controversy about whether the hulls of big mer- chant ships should he riveted or welded. Welding is not only quicker but it saves steel, so welding has won. More steel is being saved by the use of concrete for small craft. Hundreds of ferrocon- crete barges have been built, re- leasing hundreds of skilled ship- builders from the barge build- ing yards to work on ocean-going tonnage. There they are concentrating upon the well -tried standard "eco- nomy" types of vessels which many famous British shipbuild- ers had already evolved. The shipyards were prepared when war cane for an expand- ing production. The Admiralty passed the word to them for so many tankers, refrigerated cargo liners, coasters, deep-sea tramps, and standardization- • uniphed, Nazi Air Power Cut 35 Percent Many Planes Lost in Middle East in Addition to Losses in Russia Aviation observers estimated recently that losses in the cam- paign against Russia have reduc- ed the German Air Force to about 65 per cent of its peak strength. They noted in this connection that these has not been a really big raid on Britain since the Rus- sian war began last June 22. "The German Mr Force is lit- erally worn out," said a reliable commentator with excellent sourc- es of information. "The pilots are tired and there is a real short- age of planes in certain categor- ies, To all appearances the Ger- man Air Force is just about 35 per cent under what it was, for instance, when it gave London its first heavy fire-bomb attack just a year ago." in addition to the losses in the Russian campaign, this source said, the German's air strength has, suffered severely in the Middle East.

But this source warned that the present German air lull, which British pilots on patrol over France have noticed, might only mean that "Hitler is getting his forces ready for some kind of winter campaign. On the basis of reports of activities in Sicily, the Peloponnesus and North Africa, it's a two to one bet it will be a blitz against the Wes- tern and Middle llecliterranean." In this connection the Air Min- istry news service reported re- cently that, until the British cap- ture of the Dema airdromes a few days ago, Gen. Erwin Rom- mel, the Axis commander in Lib- ya, had received gasoline brought from Greece by plane, The news service said that the RAF in the last 38 days had oeen- pied 39 Axis airdromes in.
