I line days a week old Morten

rupted dryly. .
"What did be do?' the farmer
repeated. "Ha, you know Trygve
. , . always tne Breve thing. The
electric line, you know, outside
the city. They are very important,
it teems, and he cut them so the
Germans could have no lights."
But Karen was. hardly paying
attention. Her eyes had wandered
off to Mortensen's skis, propped
inside small closet. "Trygve
used to wear those, didn't he?"
"Ja, the little black ones. They
were too small for him, though.
Was it not brave thing he did,
Froken Karen?"
"Oh, yes," she said. "Oh, yes. It
must have been very dangerous."
She kept looking at the skis,
thinking them the prettiest pair
she had ever seen.
Then Mortensen said something
totally unexpected. "Trygve liked
you a great deal, Froken Karen.
He would like it if you used them
. . . the skis. They are a good
size for you."
"Oh, no." But Karen went over
eagerly and brought them out.
"Oh, no," ahe said again, flushing,
and ran her hand down the smooth
grain, wanting them, but not dar
ing to say so.
When the two girls went home
with him later, across the patch
of woodland where the bright
moonlight seeped down between
the branches, Mortensen was in
high good humor.
TF7HEN the two girls had gone
" into the cottage, and Karen
had put her new skis away,
crawled into her long woolen
nightgown, and was plaiting her
hair, Margit aaid shyly, "You
know why he gave you the skis?"
Karen turned, wide-eyed. "No.
She had never thought of it.
"Because Trygve was in love
with you."
In love with roe?" asked Karen,
delighted. She tumbled under the
covers and lay with her hands be.
hind her head. "No, I never knew.
I wish hed told me. she added
sorrowfully, and sighed. "I wish
almost anybody told roe."
Then she blew out the light and
Margit undressed in the dark and
slipped silently in beside her.
The summer went by very fast.
The idea grew in Karen that she
wanted to go to Stockholm when
autumn came. "Oh, Margit," she
cried, "1 ieel so shut in. There's
nobody to talk to, and TroUness
ia such a little town, and smells
so of nsn."
TT was two days later, when they
were both driving up some
cows that had strayed into the
lower pasture, that they saw the
soldier. All they could make out
at first was the gray-green of his
uniform as he came walking
slowly up around the bend on the
road from town. He was the first
they had seen all summer.
The eirls ran to each othr. Th
blood washed out of their cheeks.
Then they went up quickly toward
we nut. Karen ran back out to
pick up a scarf she had been
wearing over her head, then hur
ried in again. They bolted the
floor and waited.
Several minutes went br and
nothing happened. Then they
heard steps outside. A loud voice
called in, "Dont be afraid, I want
a drink of water."
Karen peeped out the window.
He was standing in front of the
door, a lanky, bold-looking trooper
wiin a long, angular face and
waving brown hair. "Go away,"
sh cried, "or well shoot you. We
have a gun."
Before you do that," he an
swered, "tell me where the spring
Is."
She took another look at his
proud, laughing face, then ducked
Bade to parley with Margit In a
moment he heard them whisper
ing together), she came back and
reached a tin drinking cup out to
him.
"YouH find water down below
the trees."
"Thank you, Fraulein Karen.
He strode off, swinging the cup at
his side.
"Wait," she cried after him.
"Wait" She turned. "Margit, did
you hear? He knows my name."
A few minutes later when he
got back, walking slowly up the
hill, they had opened the door and
were standing in front like sheep
ish schoolgirls with their hands
beind their backs.
Karen was staring at him with
wide open eyes. He handed her
the cup. Their fingers touched.
"Are you from town?" she asked
with a catch in her voice. "How
did you know my name?"
He stood with his legs spread,
thumbs hooked in his belt, and
looked down at them from his
height "Ha, now what wouldn't
you give to know?"
The corners of his mouth turned
up amusedly, and then, with a
slow wink and a nod, he sat down
and unbuckled the tops of his
boots. They did not know what
to do.
"You can't sit there,' said Karen
tensely.
He gazed up at them, squinting
against the sun.
Karen's heart was pounding
fearfully. "Because there's war
. . . and you're German ... and
we're Norwegian."

to recruit aid. .
They found Bill, late the next

"This animal was just too big
for me to handle alone so I sat
down to wait for help," explained
Bill.
He got it.
