He is a hard-headed realist but he knows his Ger- mang, Do predict that, Ne Germans will col- lapse, suddenly, is. yforecast a short water an early vic ow soon the col-, lapse will come ca soon the blows are directed upon the Nazis. “The quicker and the heavier our as- sault upon occupied Europe, the sooner \ the Nazis will give up hope and, when that occurs, the end will be at hand, so far as Germany is concerned. FREIGHT AND PRICES REDUCED Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown says that cancellation of six per cent. in ra road freight rates will save more than $350, 000,000 a year and be reflected automat- ieally in reduced prices to the consumer. ‘In some cases where reduction in prices | tomatic, the OPA. rah takevac- | will fot be tien fo insane that consum@ré. b: treight saved machinery and industrial materi Is.

But, aside from that phase of the question, the old political game is at work again in trying to create more public offices that will draw more money from the taxpayer’s pocketbook, It is the same old thing: of office hglders? Oh, no, no!” the familiar voice of the politician’s. es Pearson’s “predictions of things to come” are not the only ridiculous things he blares over the radio. » In his broadcast of a week ago, he suggested (his language was forceful enough to be that of an advo- cate) that the salaries of congressmen. b@,| increased from the present $10,000 agyear each to $25,000. “They have to maintain two homes, one ini Washington and one in their district,” Pearson blurbed, and cited other instances | why each should pocket a salary of $25,009 | a year, Practically every newspaper in the land and many radio commentators too have declared that the present congressmen have reduced themselves to figureheads, with- out an outstanding “figure” or an outstand- | | ing “head” either in the house or the senate.

That guy can wait. But next time—” What he’d du next time was re- flected in the hard, purposeful |-expression on his face. As for Penny, she hoped there’d never be another meeting. Let the Royal Canadian Mounted Police track | Stringer down. The feeling kept recurring that this series of events culminating in Cleve’s injury had been all her fault. If only she’d been sensible and listened to Powell’s advice. If only she and Cleve were pack at Baird's Stopping Place a Hud- son’s Hope.. . .

Wothing serious at all, = = tell you. I just won’t have | the ase of that arm for a day or two.” CLEVE'S courage impressed Penny. If he had the faith and strength to struggle ahead, cer- tainly she could do her part. It would mean she must carry a heavier shoulder-pack. They must get the medicines and’ supplies thed her. #You’ve gotiwhat<it' i through to Bill somehow. But she felt equal to it. She said, “You're sure you're strong enough, Cleve?” “Absolutely.” “We'll have a good nights rest,"\Penny said, ““then”go om Tl shave Drealetast veady when} 'you' awake.” One thin, she hadn’ ‘tt toia hin that. Bert “Stringer had, cleared out, taking with him the films she was certain belonged to Bill. That news, important as it was, would have to wait. To say anything now would only make Cleve rest- less and excited. He’d want to start after Stringer immediately. Penny had only been aalf awa? ot Bert Stringer’s depart- ie Shortly aiter he shot Cleve h2’d frantically gathered up his effects and disappearec into the woods. Penny, -vorking over Cleve, had paid little attention. Her excitement and anxiety for| Cleve, the pressing need for first- aid had centered her thoughts on the immediate job at hand. Stringer had fled —a thief, a films with him. But Penny was glad of one thing: she knew now wher: the films were. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police pa- trolled this region and would set out after him. If only there were. some way to get word to them. Penny was up most of the long night, for Cleve was restless. He moaned and talkea in his sleep. Then he: would awaken and want a drink of water. From her own lace by the fire. she could, over- ear him groping around, mutter- trying ‘to strike a match. 3 Ramen S some pain,” Cleve would admit. “But I think it’s easing off a bit. Go back to sleep, tot -you need your rest.’ Don’t mind me.” “Ym your nurse,” Penny insist- ec staunchly. “I have to look after you, Cleve.” “You've been fine to me. But you need rest.” Twice P2nny walked down to the spring through the moon- light, a little apprehensive of the darker shadows among the trees. She trembled involuntarily, too, when, from the mysterious depths lof the forest beyond, came the howling of a wolf or coyote. Upon her «cturn, Cleve was | grateful for the ice-cold drink, for' ;| trail lon; the cooling cloth Penny pressed over his aching forehead.
