CHAPTER V
llf AJOR JACKSON had then
rA tudied her.
"I can't give you much Infor
mation now, but if you'd care to
take a stroll later, I'd like to talk
to you. We could walk a few hun
dred yards to get the kinks out of
ur leg muscles."
"It's a date," she said, surpris
ing herself with the Informality
of her tone. She caught herself,
and resumed a military manner of
apeech. "Then, sir, I'll meet you
at your office in half an hour."
The half hour was well em
ployed refreshing herself. A last
glance in the metal mirror which
someone had thoughtfully hung on
the wall of her room told her that
she still was capable of making
herself attractive. Not even a G. I.
mirror could hide that.
She reached the meeting place
on the minute, and Major Jackson
was there.
"Lieutenant Carter, it's time you
and I held another truth session.
Maybe if we did, it would smooth
both our paths and save us a lot
of embarrassment lates."
"I'm glad you feel that way,
sir," Beth said.
"You don't need to say sir like
that all the time," Major Jackson
expostulated. "I'll treat you cour
teously and I know youll treat
me the same way."
Tm a junior officer, Major, and
I have every respect for your
rank." It sounded so stiff and for
mal that it amused even Beth, who
meant it most seriously.
TTHE major laughed.
A "You girls certainly have a
great time playing soldier, don't
you?" he asked.
Beth's laugh died away. She bit
her lower lip a very lovely lower
lip, too quite hard. She wanted
to tell the major off, right then.
She wanted to make him eat his
words. He saw the look on her
face.
. "I ought to be ashamed of my
: self," he said. "Particularly after
you turned out to be such a swell
fighter on the trip out."
"You only said what a lot of
people feel," she replied.
"That's just it. I might as well
tell you, not all the officers here
are very keen about a WAAC be
ing sent out, particularly to do a
staff job. '
- You're the only woman on
the island. I'm the only officer
other than yourself, on this island,
who knows the full truth as to
why you are here. You're s
woman, yet for military purposes
you're not a woman; you're a fel
low officer."
"I didn't know that, Major. 1
supposed that my position was set
out as clearly as that of any other
officer in any branch of the Army
of the United States. I was taught
that that was the beauty of Army
Regulations you always knew
just where both you and the othex
fellow stood." -
Brit Jackson laughed.
"You've got me. Let's see how
well you know regulations. What
are you going to do the first time
some young junior officer wants to
call you Beth? And, by the way,
are you going to continue this
darned formality all the time with
me? You know, out here in the
theater of operations, we don't
play that way. We leave that for
the garrison soldiers God bless
them, and I'm not casting any
slurs at them, either. If there's
anything more aggravating than
being a garrison soldier, it's being
a desk soldier, and both of them
pray night and day for a chance
to go to the field. I know, because
I've been all three kinds of a sol
dier at one time or another."
TiETH did not know how to an
swer. .
Finally she said, "I'd find out
the ground rules from my com
manding officer."
"You're smarter than I gave you
credit for being," Jackson said.
"Well, the ground rules here are
that military courtesy is observed,
but not to any ridiculous extreme.
We live In a very close area, so
we salute when we meet for the
first time during the day, and then
don't salute any more unless there
FUNNY BUSINESS

is a special reason. We're some
thing like a submarine crew out
here. You know, in a submarine
discipline is, if anything, stricter
than on a surface vessel; yet the
unpractised eye would have a hard
time recognizing rank."
He paused. Then he continued.
"This lecture sums itself up to
this," he said. "Unless It's very
official and in front of a lot of
people, call me Brit. And I'll call
you Beth. You've proved yourself
to me, and I hope I can to you."
"Thanks " Just as she was
about to say "Brit," she heard a
woman's voice.
"Why, Brit darling, Imagine
finding you here."
Brit turned sharply, startled. So
did Beth. Coming toward them
down the bowered path was a
young woman in a gay afternoon
dress, in strong contrast to the
uniformed population of the is
land. (To Be Continued)

Making both ends meet could
have been accomplished by keep
ing our sights low always with'

country has chosen the hard way
to make up for the years of lost
time, by determining on a pro

city of the country to the further

way of making both ends meet,
but it is the American way.
