• CHAPTER
About two miles above Linlithgo,
N. Y., the Itideen'S past bank retreats
to the base of a steep hill, and the
current seta strong_ inshore; but. the
beach is hard sand, its descent grad-
ual,
The' spat is loved by bathers. From
mid-May to term's end, any local tru-
ant officer would save tine by com-
ing here in search of school dodgers,
and from Bumbler vacation's start to
its finish, every erten:wen sees swim-
mers arrive in force.
What 'few'seaShlits- see is a Inman'
being on that hill to the rear. It is
'heavily wooded, commands no view
save a strip of river.
Yet somebody was at pause there
this day in June.
He might have belonged to the si-
lent brOtherhood of rocks, 'for 'he pos-
sessed all their protective coloring
His clothes were gray.
Hat off, he showed a gray mane
around the bald dome of his pointed
head. •
-'
Gray was his thin, clean-shaven
face with its mere slit of a mouth
and bulbous nose, and gray were his
eyes that peered through horn. rim-,
med spectacles -peered restlessly up
river where the current made a curve,
then followed its course to the bath
ing beach.,
His lips framed inaudible words:
"It ought to be here any minute."
And again:
"They ,ought to -arrive soon."
That "it" was apparently something
expected by 'water, for it was men-
tioned 'when the cold eyes gazed
north.
The "they" must have meant, swim-
mers, because this -pronoun formed it-
self when a frowning glance scoured:
the still untenanted shore below the
hidden watcher's perch . . .
The beach wasn't long eniiity. Ted-
dy Martin appeared, and Skinny
Smith. The boys stripped. Hugging
themselves, they regarded the river.
The watcher regtarded it, too. His
eyes turned anxiously northward
again, but his ears remained alert.
"Wonder how the water is." '
"Let's try it."
"Not on your life! Bud Harrison'd
raise Cain if we went in ahead o'
him."
Younger patrons of the place, these
dared not offend juvenile etiquette by
plunging in before their seniors reach-
ed here. ,'
Through the still June air, their
voices mounted distinctly to the
watcher on the hill. Buzzing insects
provided ___the_only_ather:_anund._ _
l'Skinny began to throw stones at
the Hudson. A contest developed.
Among his trees, the watcher growl -
led curses at the empty river. Teddy
suffered defeat.
• "Mebbie you kim throw farther, but
I betcha can't throw as sure. I kin
hit .a mark more thnes'n' you." •
"Ain't nothin" to throw at.'
"Take a •tree."
- "In the river, I mean. I'm talkin'
about 'a movin' mark . ."
At his hiding place, the watcher,
keen eyes once more peering north-
ward, uttered a deep sigh. Half re-
what, Imowg the river 'better than
his 'friend, lie had been countipg on.
He selected a water-rouaded rock,
.perhaps three inches in diameter. He
weighed it in his pal -cocked, his
head -performed all the motions of a
big -league pitcher.
The watcher's body had assumed
nn even stiller rigidity.
Skinny's arm drew back, flashed
forward. The stone struck its mark.
t-'1,Tolv's that?" He turned upon his
rival,' demanding applause.

had dulled his senses to the acciden-
tals -'of" that • victory ;:which --neither.
blinded nor deafened Teddy. "
The pebble hadn't hit with the
thwack of stone on wood, and it
didn't rebound; striking the middle
of the floating object, the ..missitia
merely' dropped plump -into the wa-
ter
Even if Teddy had never observed
this phenomenon before, he instantly
understood.
-All color faded from his usually
ruddy face. His pointing finger trem-
bled.
"That .ain't a log! It's a man -it's
a drowned man!"
A shout from behind. Bud Harri-
son and the rest of the bigger boys
had .arrived and heard.
"Hi! Got some rope? Come on up
to where 'Gene Roberts keeps his'
boat. We'll haul 'that thing ashore,
Gee, Coroner Norbeck'll want to
know this!"
An hour later, the beach was again
deserted.
Again the Hudson, having surren-
dered one of its many secrets, ran
unburdened toward Manhattan.
But- on that hillside, insect buzz-
ings were not now the only sound;
the hissing of disturbed brushwood
told of some furtive, creature stealing
out of his hiding -place.
•
Although five years' hard work had
earned it, Jerry Glidden didn't yet
possess an office of his own in the
Protective Life Insurance Company's,
claim department. Too many faVor-
ites ahead.
The Assistant Actuary had one.
Lightner, Jerry's boss, had his wife's
nephew, ,and these boosted creatures,
justified promotion by criticism of
pull -less person's panting behind. ..
So Jerry, young and blonde, sat
among clattering typewriters, , in, a
huge room, at a desk that merely a
brass rail separated from the rank
and file.
He sat there now as bony. Sam

It was on,the tip of Jerry's tongue
to answer. "When you pay me even

was:
"I didn't doubt the identifications,
Mr. Lightner; I doubted the ascribed

"Hah! Murder?" Mr. L. pounced

and still get across; watermanship
with assault boats and invasion bar-
ges, are all called, Commando "tac-
tics," but they are also Canadian in-
fantry'habits.
Physical fitness is, of course, a
first requisite of either the Canadian
infantryman' or the Commando raid-
er. The normal process of hardening
is Almost umeasing.; :when.certain..ac-
tivities seem likely to cause a let
down in a 'Canadian battalion, spe-
cial hardening training is quickly add-
ed to the weekly 'syllabus. 'Canadians
are constantly undergoing a sort of
super -.0.t. which is ,eneloyed rather
than allowed to be'conae a drudfery.
All Canadian infantry battalions
must be able to march 25 miles' a' day
and finish fresh. ! In a pinch they
must do70 miles 'in three day. In
such long moves they would normal-
ly be transported by troop -carrying
trucks, but mechanized armies can
become soft•with too much transport
with climbing in and out of lorries.
It is the greatest dread of the com-
mander of the modern infantry bat-
talion. So the Canadian footslogger -
in -training slogs it for the sake of his
conditioning.
The Commandos are said to have
marched 67 miles 1111,23 hours and 7
miles in an hour, under full ,fighting
kit. The Canadian lanfantryman is
wisely not asked for such a test at
such ,a racing pacsabut in enaergen-
cies he'll still be marching when poor
troops have collaps0.
Nothing enrages raan of the l Com-
mandos, or a Caned/an entaust of
raiding tactics, quite, quickly as
the journalistic eattasaiaam which"de-
pieta his maraUdirigapreperisities as
those of a cold-blooded cut-throat. As
he has all the sp ` a4ular fighting
attributes` in his o4 nght, he does
not require a manuf ctured anal false
glamor -cloak. ,
He is actually only a skilled sol-
dier, with a special knowledge in cer-
tain of the fighting arta, possessing
good physique and great endurance.
He is very seldom the type of man
who has a reputation as bar -room
battler. The hot-tempered, loud;
mouthed, careless or reckless man is
as dreaded by steab‘ raiders as the
clumsy or timid.
Only the soldier whose body is fit,
who is highly intelligent and quick -
brained, and who has himself self-
disciplined and under perfect control,.
is wanted on..a...raid or in any critical
action. Of all attributes, self-discip-
line is perhaps of first value. That is,
of course, on the assumption that Per-
sonal courage is a genefal commodity.
If the Canadianu utilize their raid
lug arts," they will assuredly do an
efficient harassing job. It is quite
safe to say that they are so generally
proficient " that almost any Canadian
•battalicia. (with a little aelection)
could carry any raid on' the cards.
Given the Chance they would probab-
ly surpass their record as raiders in
the last War.
But such minor expeditions will
never be more than a side-Lasue for
the Canadian Corps. That is true
despite any, success they may have
as nocturnal marauders, and despite
the value of their depredations, nuis-
ances and demolitions. They are
shock -troops' first a all.
But the knowledge acquired by the
'infantry will be tremendously useful
in, the great clashes of armoured forc-
es for which they are destined, equip-
ped, and trained. In, the long true
view of those momentous tank offen-
sives, it will be the infantry» who
must win them. The infantry must
secure, hold .and exploit the tanks

fialating, behind their tanks; Will be
all the greater fOr their guerrilla

Short Cut '
The quickest way to start a' garden-,
as anyone with experience knows, is
to have a supply of well -started
plans, both of flowers and vege-
tables. These may either have been.,
grown indoors, in shallow bores or
purchased from seedsmen or nursery-
men about this time of year. in an.
unusually early season, as this has
proven to be in many' sections of
Canada, real gardening results can
be obtained in an amazingly short
time.
In flowersee,these plants are just
about ready to bloom when. 'bought.
Indeed some of them may have the
odd bloom on them when still in the
boxes. Experts, however, advise
against leaving this bloom on at
transplanting. It puts astrein on the'
Plant and is apt to delay growth.
Pinched *Off, the plant soon recovers
from the shock of transplanting and
will make stockier and larger growth.
There is also a wide range of vege-
tables Obtainable as started plants
and in some cases, as with cabbage,
cauliflower, celery, peppers, toma-
toes, etc., this is about the only safe
way for the amateur to handle. Plant-
ed from seed now, these things would
not have nearly enough time to reach
maturity before Fall. They should
not be set out until all danger of
frost is over.
- Garden Freshness
There is no substitute for the real-
ly fresh quality of vegetables grown
at the door and picked when they
reach just the right stage of matur-
ity. Such have a flavor all their own.
big gardens that do not enjoy as
much of this freshness as they'
should.' With then there are a few
meals of green peas, baby carrots
and beets, new potatoes and corn, and
that is all. Either the rows 'are fin-
ished or else there is' nothin.g left but
peas, beans and corn which should
have been, eaten-Aays or , ,wele hPe

fore.
With a little planning, however,
these people could have had really . .
fresh vegetables' coming on all ,
through the' Su/timer. There are two -
ways to achieve this. First, the ac-
tual, planting season can be spread
oveiL.several weeks, 'Experts advise
making at least three sowings of prac-
tically all vegetalaies, the first a week.,
or so before the regular time, the
second at the regular time, and the
third a week or ten days later. A
second way to extend the season is,
,to use more different types. In prac-
tically every line it is now possible to
get an early, medium and late -matur-
ing sort. By sowing all three, one
automatically extends the harvesting
season.
