THE LAST LAUGH, DISILLUSIONMENT The British have the last laugh on a wounded and captured Lord Haw Haw and the Americans have disillusionment ;in the looks of captured Axis Sally, the Hitler mouthpiece in the Mediterranean theater. Instead of a pin-up girl, the l dulcet voiced Sally turns out to be five feet four and crosseyed. She was captured in Turin recently. - . " Like Lord Haw Haw, Axis Sally is American-born. Haw ;Haw concentrated on the British with ridicule in an attempt ;tto break their morale, turn them against their leaders. Sally 'Used German propaganda over the air in an effort to break 'the morale of American and British soldiers. The British found Haw Haw's broadcasts only an amusing diversion in an "era of tragedy. The Yanks and the Tommies listened to Sally I with amusement and discussions of her imagined physical characteristics. British justice will deal with Lord Haw Haw. The Americans at one time planned to bring Sally back home and try her as a traitor. It would be the first treason trial of an American woman since the Civil war. Her story that she became an Italian citizen in 1941 to avoid confiscation of her property does not explain why she went to work on' Musso.'lini's radio at $1 a day. -h . - The most repulsive aspect of both Lord Haw Haw iiid Axis" Sally is that .they -turned against their. natiW America to work for fascist" states that' were diametrically, opposed to the tilings we went to war about. Americans will show them little sympathy.

SYNOPSIS In a woodg near Budapest, Roger faughn, the American polo player, neets a beautiful girl on a black nare. She appears ill at east and t obviously eluding someone, but vill give him no information. From :he depths of the forest a thudding af hoofs is heard. The mysterious stranger throws Roger a kiss and jall&ps off. Two local police ride up. Roger learns from them that iht woman is Hon Gardonyi, wanted for felony. They warn Roger against seeing her again under threat of arrest. On his way out of the woods, Roger gets lost, lie decides to camp for the night. Suddenly a cry of anguish pierces the stillness. Roger investigates and in a cabin nearby he sees lion trussed up and about to be tortured by two policemen to force her to reveal the names of her accomplices. He attacks the men; one is shot by mistake by his fellow-officer, and the other is bested in a .ight with Roger. CHAPTER IV The battle light bright in his eyes, Vaughn-wheeled on the lookout for the second policeman, but saw the man was lying-half propped against a far wall snarling curses and with his left hand clutching a flesh wound in his right shoulder. . White- faced and br. Hon Gardonyi stared feai ii ,i the battle marked victor, a.i i widened by the firelight, and with Lis jaw set at an angle reminiscent of those early Vaughns who had joyously fought Iroquois, Red Coat and Spaniard alike. Yet choking for breath he, in the torn gray jacket, stooped and picked up and pocketed the fallen guard's automatic, then swung over to the bayonet which was provoking clouds of smoke and curling yellow flames; he wrenched the weapon out and drove it deep into the earth floor. . This precaution he knew was unnecessary, but he must have time to collect his. whirling thoughts. Assaulting .'the' p'bllce, was bad enough, but aiding the' escape of i criminal was still another. " ' "Are' you going io-leave ihciike this?" she demanded in low, quiver-' ing tones. . . : ' He scowled down upon her. ' "Ought to,; I suppose why should I risk more of a jail sentence than I've already gof co'mwg?" ."Please '- for::Gad!j sake don't leate me,"' she - implored straining her bright head-up from the coarse board of the bench. "I I'll do anyT thing;-'' ': ':: ;-': ; '." . 'I .don't doubt it." His . voice snapped like a lash. "Why have the police arrested you?" - ' ; "I I have done nothing wrong," she cried and her satin red lips quivered. . :'; ... ':: ; v ': ; ? ,": He was struck by a sudden hope. "Are these real police?"; ., ; J j ' ; ; "" "Yes. But you see-r-" . j ' ' "Oh, I see all right.' X Like a stricken animal lying in the road, Jfon Gardonyi looked up at him. "I have done, nothing wrong. You rnvst 'believe me!" ',: "I don't know if I do beh'eveyou," he rasped. "But I'm in so far already I may as well go the-whole hojfi If you've lied to me, I'll give you back to the police." "We won't need your help," the wounded officer called from his position. ."We'Il get her and you, too, you meddling Englishman." "I wonder? Do the laws of this kingdom' countenance the torture of . prisoner?" ' ".. The wounded man spat and his eyes, as-Roger Vaughn knelt by the side of the girl and commenced to loosen the bridle reins, glowed like those of a nocturnal animal. "We weren't going to hurt her, only give her a fright " ' . And there, Vaughn perceived, lay th crux of the situation. The girl had indeed snffered nothing more than a twisted arm. There were no witnesses save the girl and himself an ugly-mess! A few jerk? and the pliant leather came loose; then, to afford the dishevelled girl chance to rearrange her torn garments, Vaughn bent twenty-nine months overseas.

over the guard he had struck down and was infinitely relieved to catch the sound of stertorous breathing before long he would regain consciousness, i ."Good! You are freeing a pris oner, the wounded man jeered. "It's ten years for that! Add that to ten years for murderous assault on an officer and you'll be gray haired before you see home again. You won't get far and Lord help you when we do catch you !" "In that case I I'll stay," Hon cried in sharp dismay. "I can't let you risk that for me." "No. You're coming. Can you walk?" "I think so." Bright hair streaming in a golden banderole, she got to her feet, but her legs revealed in their close fitting jodhpurs wavered dangerously. Without delay Vaughn swung her into his arms and, still pursued by the disabled guard's curses, carried her out to that shed corral. She was very light he found and her hair smelt of jasmine. - . ' "Can you ride?" "Yes, I thik so." She was looking at him wonderingly as if caught in a msels'trom of things beyond her. "If I can't you go on " Panting-, still trembling and with the new risen moon revealing a few tears on her drawn face, she was leaning against the rough bole of a cedar when Roger Vaughn rode up astride one of the police horses and he was leading the other as well as the black mare.' "Come on, stop snivelling and' pull yourself together. We've got a long way to go," he explained in an angry voice which carried far down the little valley. "We'll take these dogs along guess we'll need as much of a start as we can get." " She shot him an indescribable look and the moonlight glinted on her stirrup as she mounted, but Vaughn did not notice it, occupied as he was in trying to make, out whether the Wounded man was yp or merely calling in hurried undertones in an effort to arouse his unconscious companion. ' ' .pilled' with .' deep misgivings, Vaughn, rode- back to Janos, whom he mounted after knotting the snaffle reins of the two police horses fest they catch in some branch. Without a word he started again on down the trail,.driving the riderless beasts hefore him, and trying to foresee eventualities while quite ignoring the girl who silently rode at his heels. : Surely he must have gone mad during the last twenty minutes! Had he not during that interval converted himself from , respectable American citizen inio a fleeing criminal? .And why? All on accoiihtj ,of this girl with the green-bide j;yes. Just now he al most hated herl j - ; i i At the mouth of the valley he suddenly ; 'reined in, igave ": ,the' 'police horses two sharp cuts, with a s?fch and grimly watched t horn go rat-mg off into the warm splendor of? the Spring night. ' V'PJease--where are- we going?" Don demanded. ' ; ' , ' -ji-, "Don't, you know where yon are?" "No. I have never been this way before." ' ,.' "That is a help! Now : listen, Mistress' Headlong, I 'reckon those coppers will figure we'll be heading hell for leather for the next country, so to fool 'em we're-going, to itide back as near that cabin as we i(iare and spend the night perhaps a couple of days." "Spend the night!" she rallied suddenly and her head went hbek, "No." I am going to ride on. I have much to do there are people I must reach." ' '-". ' "Don't be a fool! You'll not' get ten miles. Listen!" Three sliots made the moon drenched night; resound, volleying echoes rattled from hilltop to hilltop. "So that second guard did have a gun somewhere. Damn! They'll surely hear that down below and come a-running." "Nevertheless I will go I am most grateful but much depends on "You'll not! For once you'll consider someone else!" Swiftly- he

. THREE SHOT, FOR SUPPLY THEFTS. Three Chinese officers have been executed, by a firing squad for theft and extortion in the handling of military supplies for Chinese armies, it was announced.

caught her reins. "One more yip and I'll take you back to those police." "Oh.no! Nq!" Seemingly dazed by the events of the last hour, the girl relaxed and the moonlight gleamed in her tangled hair to create faint flashes of light but those flashes were not as bright as the gleam of the long slim blade she drew from her saddle's lining. "You are right I I owe you something and a Gardonyi's word is good. I will keep my promise." To this Vaughn made no reply perhaps he was too busy picking a path through the tangled woods. Drawing upon his considerable knowledge of woodcraft gained in hunting from Indo-China to Nova Scotia, Vaughn confused their trail as skillfully as any wily old buck and at last halted in the depths of a small wooded ravine not a quarter of a mile distant from the hut in which Hon Gardonyi had been imprisoned. His first misgivings were fading but he still felt not at all reassured. Conscience stricken,, he noted the girl pathetically slumped in her saddle. . ' , . "Here, Mistress Headlong, take a pull of this brandy, it'll make you feel like a new girl." She looked up and started to accept. the flask but, as if struck by a sudden fear, shook her head. "No thank you." "Go on!" he snapped, exasperated once more. "You're all in and I don't want you fainting all over the place." Exhibiting the ' inexpertness of one unaccustomed to drinking from a flask, she took a mouthful of the cognac, swallowed, and choked. "It'll do you good," he cried after haying beaten her on the shoulders. "Since we're going to camp out, we may as well be comfortable you water and rub down the horses while I rig a loan-to, a fireplace and a bed." He slipped the saddles from both horses and wondered briefly at her silence, but forgot it when using a large hunting knife he felled a couple of saplings and in a few moments contrived a creditable lean-to. "Where shall I tie the horses?" Her voice sounded curiously heavy and lifeless. "To that lone pine behind that big rock over there." .. For Hon he expertly fashioned a comfortable bed of fir tips and then straightened from his labors to find her watching him in sullen, silence. How different she was from the dashing girl of that morning! ; "Snap out of it! No one's going to loaf around this camp. Oct somef wood dead1 on the tree because we don't want any smoke. It'd be no fun to have 'the. eeppers ride up and grab us., Safe? iSure. ,No One below can see the light, if we .keep the fire small-", ' ,., . , "yejy well.'; . Casting her' praTanfori an inscrutable look, ,I!o'n sii-'ode' over to the lea n-td,' glanced inside, then 'commenced to break dry twigs from, pines' rising like sable spears flung.at the glowing stars. ; Still . occupied with conjectures concerning the morrow, Vaughn began unpacking his saddle bags and was making a hasty inventory of their resources when he was startled by a sudden wild clatter of hoofs. His first thought was that the mare had broken loose so, swift as any puma, he leaped sidewise to bar the narrow path leading from the ravine. To his amazement he glimpsed Hon astride the barebacked animal. Fortunately because of the insecure footir-j the mare could not run so, shaking with wrath, he caught at the bridle and threw the mare heavily back on her quarters. "You treacherous little devil ! You vwuld risk my neck!" None too gently he hauled her from the back of the mare who, indeed, was very loath to leave the companionship of Janos for, once her head was free, she wheeled and trotted back to the impromptu picket line. Vaughn, however, never saw her go, hi.i arms were too full of lithe and furious femininity. (To be continued) Copyrijiii bs F. Vmi Wjrii Mason; Distributed ly Kins Fenuin Srud:cot. Inc.
