When she joined the WAACs, Beth supposed she would "tight" the war at a desk, doing type- civilian life until the automobile agency closed. Now she was in the thick of the war, even if from a statistical point of view tills portion was not a very large one. She arose and peered out of the side window. She had barely glimpsed the two attackers before Major Jackson had yanked her 1 back down into the protected part of the Fortress. "Don't do that," he yelled. "I dont want to lose you so soon." "I don't want to lose you so ii, im. i i v., second to the recesses of Beth's mind. Then she cast it aside, al most with a guilty feeling. She had come out here to be a sol dier, not to develop a romantic Interest in the first commanding officer she met. , If she had not been told the Japs were coming in on the For tress, she would have known in a few seconds anvwar. She felt the Pnrrrw momentarilv shiver, and she heard the rattle of machine guns. Brit Jackson had gone forward. She was alone. True, there were men around her, but each was so : identified with a task, and so en grossed in it, that none had time for her. She was as safe as they could make her. . She heard the machine guns : again, and saw one of the center .ininnnn tiie fan, 0eim. rtitmt riijs weapon around In pursuit of a Zero. She saw his lips move. She knew by his face that he had missed. Disappointment packed ' every iota of space from the set ness of his lips to the depths of his serious eyes. The din was intermittent, but terrific when it came. Several times Beth realized that if it were not for the Fortress's armor, the fight would have been lost. a "DY the angle of the floor she knew the plane was climbing steeply. It had shaken the Japs for a minute. Then the climb leveled off and ended. Brit Jackson was still forward, but Beth hardly was thinking of him now. She was watching the gunner intently. He stood there, a huge man, ap pearing even larger because of his flying suit. He was working cool ly and in a very businesslike man ner, firing a few bursts, swinging his gun quickly, keeping a sharp eye out. There were two gunners, work ing back to back. Others were elsewhere in the. big ship, Beth knew; but these two were all she could see, and it was the one whose face was half toward her that held her attention. She could read every turn of battle in his yes. . Now, fa the midst of peril, she had a quick instant to reflect She . . ." . fio.

Suddenly the gunner's face lighted. One of the Zeros was gone, and Beth needed only one guess to tell whither its route. There was one to be accounted for. It had swung away, but now was coming back coming in .in a hard-to-reach angle. The nearest gunner tried to get 11 is weapon into position. It would not go quite far enough over. Just then a burst of machine gun bul lets rattled against the Fortress. 'T'HE Fortress lurched and the gunner fell. Beth thought at first that he had been thrown off balance. Then she saw that he did not rise, and she knew that he was a casualty. The other gunner was too busy to notice what had happened. Beth rose from her seat First she moved to the side of the stricken gunner. But she had not reached him before she knew that her mission was greater even than one of individual mercy. She moved straight to the va cant machine gun. Fearlessness and discipline were revealing the strong grips they had on her American soul. She steadied herself; and then she took hold of the gun grips and be came the weapon's master. Long weeks before she had been introduced to the operation of this gun more because of the whim of an instructor than be cause anyone ever expected her to know anything about one. The Jap fighter was coming back. It was coming back on Beth's side of the Fortress. (To Be Continued) THE MOWER-DOWNER BOISE. Idaho, (IP) Sgt, Wll.
