CHAPTER SEVEN TEEM The German stiffened, got to hl* feet and paced the 11 • r, all the while wiping his monocle industriously. Finally he spoke, and his voice was now soft, insinuating, hateful. "So. You believe in freedom. Well, well." Then he turned on David and his sharp fare went livid with anger. In a raised voice he fairly shouted. "Four freedom la ended. Boon England will beg us on hrr knees for peace. And then, by Himntfl, tl.e Atnci *a*f Nazi Germany u-ill dumuiatt tht world." The man's no idiot, Hutch thought, merely a fanatic. He really seemed to believe what he was saying, and as he spoke on it was apparent that he had forgotten the presence of a second person in the room. It was a* if he were practicing a apiceh to be delivered at a political rally. "We, the great Cerman folk, superior to all other folk, will dormKate. The fools who think they ran oppose the will of Adolf Hitler. The fools who think they can oppose our might. The English fo*,ls — the American fools! Ha!" Again he began pacing violently back and forth aero*, the room. "We lo«t the battle of 191 H, yes. But now we are a different Germany, a Germany Strong, united, and led by Adolf Hitler. The baltb of 1!'IO is a different matter. We will dominate the world." Hutchinson coughed and the officer turned as if surprised. "Ah! I had forgotten you were here. You may go. I shall keep your papers." As Hutch paxiu-d Rusty he was able to whisper, “No funny business. You'll get solitary cuniinement." Ths chateau was a two story building built around three sides of a square. Across the fourth side ran a high grille fence, and one named over a very ancient drawbridge to enter. It had evidently been built in troublous times with a thought for defense. At present it made an excellent military prison, and a* the two airmen were < corted irwude both were thinking the same tttng-that escape would be most difficult from sueh a place.

There guy* certainly built for the ages.” They searched over the floor as carefully s* they had the walk, going under th* cots, in the corners, everywhere, trying to find a ston* that eould be budged from its plae*. but with no luek. They were tightly wedged into their places and th* du t of time had been packed about them like mortar. Finally it waa Rusty who whistled a low, long net* of surprise. "Hutch!” Iluteh crawled over to where he was. He had removed th* table and the rug. "Look," Rusty said, pointing to a large stone. "They've put the dust back, but it isn't packed down." He blew around the edges of another stone and nothing happened. He blew around tb* edge* of this on* and dust flew up into his fac*.
