bridge. In the light of the flashes Happy saw. them. rushing toward him, panting, grunting. They would swarm into the garden, turning right or left around the castle. Those in the first rows had seen him

on the bridge. Happy pulled the steel heimet off his head

cap and his guidebook, with the;

map of Ulm between the covers, He stood up and tore off the heavy overcoat which impeded his running, with the brassard still pinned to it. He ripped the caducoq patch from the left sleeve of shis tunic, down to the blue threads, and threw ft with the restl of his identity under the thick branches of the spruce, as he Bad hidden the chute and the striptease in the woodpile. Unless the lieutenant still stalked Happy in the park, he would soon, under a hooded light at the hospital or the Kommandantur, find’ the name of Steinberg in the

No, disguise would help Stein-. berg; he was doomed by the Soldbuch in the lieutenant’s hand, His only chance was to be anonymous, As he edged away from the discarded clues to his treason, he became a nameless corporal, with ho sign to indicate his branch. As fast as silence allowed, he crept along the west wall of the castle to the center, a 100 yards from where he had dropped his gear. ~ - »

If the Frankenthal Bridge was down, as thé sergeant had said, he would have to try thé Rhine bridge again, this time without papers and already hunted He tried to tell himself that the spot-check had been only an accident of chance, for the Gestapo did not have enough men or timeé to control every traveler on every bridge. He hesitated, about to step forward from the protection of the shadow. Then a bugle rang out from one of the towers of the bridge. It sounded the air-rald warning. He heard the hum of a plane. The searchlight on the bridge caught the plane in its beam and clung

She looked from his face to the kit, turning the leather container over in her hand. “Where is Wharf St., please?" he whispered close to her ear. { She jerked her thumb down the| street toward the Neckar, and held up one hand with four fingers outstretched. “Four blocks?" .
