TODAY'S SHORT STORY

Two and Two By ALICE DRAKE |

YOUNG George Tucker, first in rank of the several promising en-| gineers for Mavhew Motors, somehow failed fo get caught in the first] cr but the sudden spurt in na- | fonal d e was nevertheless a| prime headache toc him. Not that he wasn't patriotic, either, George would have been happy and proud to have gone to the de-| fense of his country—if he was; called—and do his own bit physie-| ailv, firm in the knowledge that Paisyr Marvhew was somewhere in the background, lovingly cheering! him on. But now he was in effect] on the job 24 hours a day and the boss’ delectable youngest daughter] was emotionally a million miles ‘away one George Tucker. Lieut. James Sarberry was the rean for it, patriotic or not t know whether it makes fting a young squirt like 1 2s Army observer,” George ghifully mentioned to Olin ! the boss, when the immaculate West Pointer had arrived s per schedule to check plans of the new secret motors for Army bombers that Mavhew had contracted to turn out for the Government. “After all, boss, this is pretty gerious sfuff—and Carberry isn't experienced.” “Not experienced, chuckled,

If wasn't much better when he discovered her alone and unprotected by the Army. “Isn't he just the cutest thing you ever saw?” That was Patsy. “Yep. He's cute, all right, but not he way you mean it. I can't figure the guy at all, the way he can waltz around with girls, and turn out a heavy day's work the next day.” = = 2 PATSY smiled superiorly. “You mean me, of course,” she corrected. ! "The lieutenant hasn't been out} with any other girls since he came here to work in dad's plant. Aren't you jealous, George?” “No!" George squelched her disdainfully, but his denial was patently labored. The Army boy must have one weak point in his armor somewhere, {f only he could find it. He'd have to find it before the uniform completely wore down Patsy's resistance! On the fourth day of the lieutenants duty at Mayhew Motors, George was all jittery inside. He might be doing wrong, but he had to take a chance. Carberry had been working like a beaver with ambition. He knew the new, secret motor’s details practically by heart, because he had photographed every step in the major manufacture. He had made his own sketches of the working prints, and he asked a million pertinent questions. He was a good engineer, undoubtedly.

BUT THE men from the government secret service took him away despite all this, after George had celled them in and gave them the setup in cold turkey.

tor “I don’t know how you did fit; George, but it sure saved my skin!” Olin Mayhew thanked him fervently. “Imagine!® “George was lucky, that's all, and Just because he was jealous!” Patsy refused to credit her erstwhile suitor. “He was just being spiteful because the lieutenant was handsome!” “You said a mouthful, sister!” George grinned with a total lack of remorse. “I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't kept throwing his dashing looks up to me. And I remembered that one of the West Point rules is—that none of the cadets are allowed to have a mustache, not even the dandy that the ersatz lieutenant sported. Two and two added up to a nice faux pas!”

BY DIARY OF NAZI

MOSCOW, July 25 (U. P).--The Russian Information Bureau yesterday released a diary assertedly found on a German prisoner of war which, it said, reflected the pessimism of many German soldiers and their desire for peace, “Our division has lived through four very grave days,” the soldier, named Siegberg, was said to have written in the diary. “We have had to sustain strong attacks from the air. “This morning 10 to 15 Russian bombers attacked us from a low altitude. We thought our last hour had come. Flying in sixes, they appeared nine times in one

day. “Now it is half past eleven and they have been here already six times. More news—Four guns of our regiment have been put out of commission. All of their crews have been captured by the Russian infantry. “Of our battalion of the 35th Regiment, which has been merged with remnants of the 118th Regiment, 264 men have been taken prisoner. “At present we are lying in a ravine together with infantry and we are keeping up barrage fire “Now we are too experienced in what this terrible war means, “I wish to God that those of us who are still intact would be spared
