THE STORY THUS FAR: Zorie Corey, who hates herself for being meek and shy, is half-time secretary to Prof. Folsome. She agrees to deliver some invitations for the professor’s wife, but while in a fit of tears over the job a handsome stranger comes along and gets her story from her. 'He destroys the invitations and deposits them in the trash basket. Her fiance’s grandfather, Admiral Duncan, calls on Zorie and fairly forces her to accept a job writing his memoirs of the Spanish-American war. Aboard the steamer, Samoa, en route to Hawaii, she dances with Steve, brother of her fiance, Paul Duncan. 'Steve is the handsome stranger who had destroyed those invitations. %

CHAPTER VII

. 1 Zorie éot up an—(; latched thé door again. - She again tested the latch. It held. :

When she was awakened in the morning; by the phone ringing, the door was open again, but no longer banging, because the ship had stopped rolling. " = =

She waited for Amber to answer it, but Amber did not awaken. - She was lying on her back. Her face, in the clear, cold light of early morning, was shocking. All color was drained from it, and it was completely relaxed: Her mouth' was open a little and she seemed hardly to be breathing. Fascinated by what she saw, Zorie stared. It was not now the face of: a ruthless, imperious girl, but that of a girl with no illusions, no.faith, no hope. ' Zorie snatched up the phone as it started to ring again. The admiral’s voice said heartily: “Good morning, Zorie, good morning! It’s a beautiful day—a fine day for work—hm? What do you say we get to work as soon as you've had a bite of breakfast?” - - = : “All right,” Zorie said in her melodiously. meek voice. ~ ~ | *She found the dining-room, which was almbst empty—it still lacked eighteen minutes of eight a. m.—and a steward directed her to a small table against the wall. =

The ‘waiters did not seem to have much to'do, but it was a long time before: one - of them: came to her table. He looked insolent, and when he asked for her order, he was almost rude. ; She presently felt eyes staring at her.*- She glanced up.° At a table two removed from hers sat the man with. scrubby red-hair and -powerful sloping shoulders—the man she had seen last night outside her room lighting, .a cigarette. and, later, at the Palm Room bar with Winthrop Lanning. e e

His stare was so absorbed that it did ‘not- disconcert him" when :her eyes:met his. They were expres-: sionless. ~ His long: dark face was expressionless.. 'He . was 'searching and searching her face. It was not admiration. It was the most intense ‘concerfed inquiry. L e Zorie felt the heat of embarrass¥ ment and-resentment flash into her cheéks. - She looked away. A waiter brought him his breakfast, Its main dish° was a large thick steak. He. carved it and ate it with a ravenousness that appalled her. “His expres-= sion was bestial. He ate swiftly, bolting the steak, gulping his qgﬁee. Now -and then he stared at Zorie. He presently lighted a cigarette, got oe i A

. Zorie was finishing her cold coffee when Paul eame in and sat down in the empty: chair across from her. He looked as if he hadn’t slept well. He was haggard and gray and his eyes -had the blurred look of suffering. B - “Darling, look,”” he said. “I'm terribly sorry about last night, but this “‘whole thing goes much deeper than you may suspect. I admit I'm jealous'.of Steve. I've always been jealous of him. But it isn’t just that. I know that you haven’t had much experience with his kind, and I was so afraid he'd turn your head.” . He looked at her ‘with a tentative,’ hopeful smile.” She felt sorry for ‘Paul; sorry for his unhappy, clever, analytical mind. . LNk 1 know how he affects women. But I should bave had:-enough brainsto see then, ‘as I do how, that you're much too wise, thuch too fine and bala!i_cﬁf‘tfo"let‘- ‘a man like Steve turn’ ; vhead.Ye Y “Yes, Paul,”’ ;she said gravely. *The reason the admiral is so disgusted. with Steve,”. Paul went on, “ig that the United States Navy is a tradition in our family. A Duncan has been ‘a‘ naval officer in every generation for'a hundred and thirty years. John Paul Jones Duncan, for whom I was named, was an officer on a Yankee corvette when he first saw the Islands. e “There’ve been Duncans present at every important American naval engagement—lBl2, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the last war, My father went down with the Invincible, you know, at Jutland.

‘she said. ‘“But please don’t tell ‘me any more. I feel sorry for the admiral, and I feel sorry for Steve, too. And for you, Paul.” : He was still looking at her uneasily. ‘“You aren’t sore at me for blowing off last night?” o _“No, darling,” she said gently. He seemed greatly relieved. Her tenderness for Paul had returned. She could forgive him for losing his temper last night. She was gratified that he had spent such a bad night. He wasn’t, affer all, taking her for granted. ‘ ; As she looked at him, smiling, his brother became unimportant. And when Paul said softly, ‘“Darling, you know I adore you,” she felt her heart lift up and glow with response. And that—and not the reckless physical feeling she had for Steve—was love, ; Paul went to look for someone who ‘would play paddle tennis with him, ‘and Zorie went down to B Deck and the admiral’s suite. Steve opened the door. He smiled in a lazy, friendly way, and his eyes, bluer than she had ever seen

His face was sober but Zorie saw the malice in - hiseyes. ... . g

The admiral suddenly glared, “You're trying to distract me fro% my book!” “he said angrily. “T won't have = these interruptions!’ Clear out, both of you!” A Paul sauntered out, but Steve stayed. v ‘ pi R “Zorie,” he said, “what’s your opinion?”’ < i : “Of war with Japan?” she ‘gasped. . : Lo e *“No. The book.” : “I'm only an amanuensis,” Zorie said promptly. 2 ““Well, that’s' an opinion.

He resumed his dictation. But it had nothing to do with early days in the Sandwich Islands. It dealt with his pranks at Annapolis. - It was almost noon' when Steve, who had been lounging all this time in the long chair and gazing out over the sparkling blue sea, again interrupted. - ot ““Your amanuensis is a wreck, Admiral,” he said. “Go out and grab some fresh air, Zorie. I have a feeling that all this fascinating material will keep.’”? ... . -Zorie 'was relieved:and grateful. She didn’t want to be in the same room with:Steve any lenger.

It was the- beefsteak = eater—Mr. Lanning’s friend. . There. was a eigarette in his mouth. He flicked the ‘wheel ‘of his lighter and lighted it. Zorie stopped, with the door open, with her hand clutching ‘the knob. There was no question in: her mind that this man had been bending ‘down, with his ear to the door, listening. o ~_Her impulse to call Steve was so strong that she whirled about, with her mouth open. But she changed hér mind. - The man: ‘with strubby ‘red hair and powerful shoulders was Mr. Lanning’s friend, and Mr. Lanning was Steve’s friend. And she intended to ask Steve no more questions about his friends . . . She closed the door firmly, walked past the man and went on deck. = =

She looked about the ship for Paul and found him stretched out in a steamer chair reading a thick book by Anna Freud.

EUROPE: Nazi Losses - ; Having suffered losses of 400,000 men since D-day, and with its power in France broken, the once proud German army reeled back toward the Siegfried line guarding the reich’s border, there to hole up for a final stand. Although the bulk of the German armies escaped annihilation im both the north and south, swift moving Allied armor hacked enemy rearguards to shreds, and U. S. and British planes swarming over ‘the battlefields took a heavy toll of men and equipment in the retreating colAs the British and Canadians drove up along the Channel coast, they overran many of the enemy’s robot-bomb. installations, but the continuance of attacks on southeast England with the flying missiles indicated that the Germans moved their dispatching ramps farther in-

~ ¥Mustrating the vast scope of Allied aeperations im France since D-day, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower reported that we had lost . 3,000 planes eurselves, rgquired more than 900 tanks for replaeements in the first 70 days of fighting, dropped more than 55,000 tons - of bombs and- used 44,000,000 gallons of aviation gas. As the battle tempo heightens, and supply lines lengthen, there ‘is also need for more trueks and tires, ‘“lke’” declared. : Deep in Balkans

Rolling on American wheels, the surging @ Russian army pushed through Rumaaia and pointed spear heads at Hungary to the northwest where Marshal Josip Tito’s rugged Partisans have been waging relentless guerrilla warfare against the Axis occupational forces. ’ As the Russian drive carried deep into the heart of the Balkans, Red forces in northern Poland stepped up their pressure against reenforced Nazi troops battling grimly to stave off the capture of Warsaw. - :

In their developing Rumanian ' offensive, the Russians sought - to exploit an early break into the Carpathian mountains guarding Hungary, where Adolf ' Hitler desperately sought to keep that country in the war by agreeing to rush reenforcements to bolster -its tottering -eastern defenses. By rolling .-through Bucharest to the south- ° " west, the Reds also had the, ' choice of driving forward for a . junction with Tito’s Partisans . and endangering the entire Nazi . hold on the southern Balkans. BEEF: i Cheap Grades Abound ‘ Reflecting the heavy run of grassfed cattle, August beef production in federally inspected plants reached the all-time record output for that month of 600,000,000 pounds, and 21 per cent higher. than the same period last year. Meanwhile, August pork production was 19 per cent under August of last year, reflecting continued short receipts in the markets, which were expected to pre‘?ﬂ until ‘October when the spring ¢rop is moved fo glaughter. -© ' Jaoh g o As a result of the heavy grass-fed marketings, ample supplies of lean, pointless utility beef will be available to consumers, but the government's recent order fo packers to set aside 50 per cent of their higher grades for military and lend-lease ‘account, will decrease the supply of the choicer roasts and steaks. ...
