He has already found # good clue as to the whereabouts of the 25th. But at least five Germans have seen his face at/close range and the Gestapo is looking for him. Having “broken trail” by destroying one set of papers, he is sleeping In a little couptry Inn. Now go on with the

story. % CHAPTER TEN 3 WHEN HE awoke there was hardly more light in the room than when he had gone to sleep, for Herr Liebert always closed the shutters of the Ox on the chance of a terror-attack.

MARIA Cv RTSIED to him ‘when she came Into the room. She held his socks, wrung dry, in one hand. He wondered whether Ami girls ever looked as pretty as this, with Hair so blond it was almost white, and eyes as blue as the bottom of his saucer, and cheeks as pink as fruit blossoms, Out of her workbag she brought a darning egg. Without speaking, she sat down across the table and began darning his socks. Frau Liebert produced a tube af shoe polish from under the counter, She joined them at the table, rubbing away at his boots, “Now,” Frau Liebert announced, “I am going to give you something that I keep for ‘my boys. Since you are in the Luftwaffe t00, you shall have a little of their foot powder, Why don’t you stay with us a day or two? “All my thanks, but with only ’ tour, days to get back to my unit

Third Flak Training, which his Soldbuch said was his last unit, was a component of the 9th Flak Division, and he should have known the division headquarters was at Crallsheim. He would. certainly not stop to see her sons. Just as {eertainly, he would detour by |Crailsheim to make sure 9th Flak .. was there. “Did. you hear about my cousin?” Frau Liebert asked.

HERR LIEBERT came in from the garden to violh the farewell, “Auf Wiederseh'n! Auf Widerseh’'n!” they all murmured, shaking hands. They waved from the threshold as Happy started along the highway to Ulm. He had not done badly his first day, which was the most dangerous of the five, He was out of reach of Schongau, and had broken his trail at Kempten. For somemreason Herr Fidl had not denounced him, and was not likely to give the Gestapo his name after witholding it-a whole day, that would put him in danger. Even If the Gestapo made him tell, he had not done badly. But it was lucky he had not told Frau Liebert that he knew her mother's cousin, just the same; and his uneasiness returned, Medical Corps of the Flak was too rare a uniform not to be noticed by everyone, As soon as he was out of sight he unpinned the glazed white medical brassard from his sleeve, He folded it carefully and laid it with the two safety pins in one of the leather cases on his belt.

The newest theory, made public at a press conference during the annual meeting of the American Association ‘for the Advancement of Science, attempts in one series of equations to set forth the laws covering two fundamental forces of the universe. gravitation and electromagnetism. Those two forces, . scientists agree, produce virtually all the phenomena: of nature, but there has been no single formula that explains their relationship and what is behind their functions.
