Over three million Yanks are now over seatin various theaters of the war and hy the end of the year Mr Stimeon says then will be Ove million. It's the greatest army ever built too. with the best men. the best leaders and the best equipment. Two million others are on the seas. t Iceland, the North Atlantic island, famed for Its culture and Its lighting men. is leading oilier nations Into the land of democracy A vote of the people of that country was decidedly In favor of independence after neatly 700 years of rule Ity Norway and Denmark. The nation is over a thousand years old and has much history, none of which is perhaps as important as the step being taken In 1944. -0 War bonds provide your safest Investment.

Hundreds of thousands of our fighting men are really enduring hardships, living under the worst possible conditions and buying War Bonds besides. What about those of us at home, living in comparative comfort and security. many of us earning more than we , ver earned before? We should consider lending money to the (lov-rnmctit a privilege as well an an obligation. And then we should keep lending every cent we can possibly spare—until the war is over and won. —o Judge DeVoss: Death has claimed another outstanding citizen of Decatur in the passing of Judge Huber M.

'Each year there are enough men. women, and children killed iu pedestrian accidents to make ui> three army divisions. Think of that There Is no middle of the road when it comes to traffic safety, and especially pedestrian safety You are either safe or you ore not. When walking on the open highway, -walk on the shoulder of the road and walk toward oncoming traffic. When alighting from a bus or streetcar, step into the safety zone, wait until the auto traffic has passed and the lane is dear, then walk to the sidewalk. 'Wait for the traffic light to change to green sometimes a few ■reconds are lost waiting for it to change ibut your life is worth more than a few lost seconds. , If you are 35 years of age. you have about 17.000.000 minute* left ■■ 1 111- - —— .

Up on the bed, Irna’e pup began playing, tugging at the fold* of the blanket, and the water on the stove wan humming. "Coffee soon,” he announced. Chin retting on her kneea, her •yes followed Colin aa be passed about the room. "I hate to think thia is our last trip," he heard her aay. He made no answer. His eyes kept meeting hers, with a growing sense of something left unsaid, of some now, troubling presence that bad not been there before... Colin began playing with the dog. Then softly her hand touched his hair. "Your hair is as wet as mine was." Irina’s fingers passed across his neck, lifting the wet hair back from his forehead, while he raised his face to look at her; for a moment her warm hands rested on his shoulders. They were not smiling now; dreamlike, unreal in the eabin's gloom, her faee stooped closer until the red lips and the long, green ev«>s became his only reality in a drifting world. He saw her lips part, saw her arms reach out to him as she swayed forward . . . A wilder blast from the north buffeted the cabin, rattling the windows, bringing a deeper roar of defiance from the fire, but her hands were moving down over his shoulders, her hair was brushing his neck. Then, in the same instant, they heard a shout from the direction of the lake. With a sense of the world tumbling about his ears, Colin opened the door and peered out through the storm. It was Dove. Muffled In a heavy khaki coat, the little man came up the path, and at sight of Colin he called, “I saw the smoke and couldn’t resist the ehance of hot coffee.” Then he saw Irina’s clothes drying, and his head jerked toward the bed. For a second his eyes held the girl’s eyes. "You capsised.” "I was fool enough to try the rapids." “Swift water Is dangerous," Dove murmured, "especially when it’s beyond one’s depth.” Heart still pounding, Colin turned from that smiling scrutiny and began filling the coffee pot. As if out of some fantastic dream he watched his own hand trembling; It was all unreal. Nothing was changed, except— mechanically he realised that the water in the kettle had boiled low, and, slipping on his windbreaker, he picked up a bucket. "I’ll bo back in a minute." Ho hurried out the door. * Humming a quiet air, Dove drew off hb mittens and sat down opposite Irina. * 11 n YoU .n° n ’ t look ®Wlled."

the edge of the bed, and he held it aloft in one of his great hands. Baring its small white milk teeth, the pup growled viciously, and Dove nodded. “I’m afraid you do not like me." He tapped the dog lightly. "But you should show better manners to one who works in the same cause as your mistress.” With fixed gate Irina watched him, while a vein on her temple began pulsing. Dove laid the dog beside her, and his hand touched her wrist. "Die zeit inf nut, Irina.” The soft sibilancc of German died away, and in English, Dove stressed, "We are ready now for you.” Irina smiled. In thoughtful approval Dove looked down at her. "Our New York agents told me you were intelligent.” He lapsed again into German. “I agree. You also have unusual charm. Intelligence and charm—you will need them both, my dear.” “For what?” “For a little lesson to that dear United States.” "But they are not at war." “In December Japan will take care of that.” “Why did you wait so long to tell me this?” she asked. “To make sure. I am a very cautious person, Irina. Besides, you must have guessed who I was.” “1 thought at first it was Dr. Benedict” Dove gave a short laugh. “Big men make poor spies.” Walking across the cabin, he glanced out the window. “We have not much time,” he warned. “Tell me what to do.” The girl’s voice showed no sign of emotion—only a kind of impassive submission. Dove seated himself comfortably on the edge of the bed. “Have you let yourself become involved with Colin Rae?” “I am involved only with the Party.” This time her voice sharpened. Then he smiled. “I think we shall get along.” Again she said, “Tell me what to do.” “Two things — both of them urgent, and both you will find out from Selkirk: First, I Want to know exactly where his trappers are working between here and Hudson Bay. Second, I want to know when the company plane makes its rounds of the northern trading posts." "You are almost ready, then?” His eyes flickered. “We have not been idle. Except for two patrols, there is not a mountie between here and the south shore of the bay. They are down in Dearmonth, waiting for trouble between the Crees and the trappers, and we will give them just enough to keep them there. Thea, after the ice comes, we strike.” In deep earnestness Dove raised o, v ,n< k “The echo of that blow will be heard around the world.” The guttural syllables ceased, and for a time he watched her, wrapped in the blanket, knees under her chin. “I am wondering,” he said at laet, "if I should talk to you of loyalty. They told me you were not entirely willing to come here until . *7 re,n ‘ nd «i that your father
