CHAPTER XII
"RUTH'S and Brit's heads were
' close together.
"You're wonderful," Brit said,
"I would just think you were
1 trying to be spiteful about Lita. I
did think that, for a few seconds."
He stopped as another bump rolled
them apart, then bck together.
I should have taken Into account
the possibility that they'd have
' someone else with them, li s sucn
. an obvious thing a Japanese who
can fly a plane, and who comes
along to make certain the inter
, national double-crossers don't re
i double-cross that I just didn't
' think of it."
"What will they do with us?"
, Beth asked,
"Take us to some Japanese
base," Brit replied. "There's prob
i ably one within a few hours'
flight"
"But this plane . . . it's not Jap
anese." ' "Anything can be Japanese. As
: a matter of fact, this is an obsolete
seaplane, built in America. I don't
think it dates back to the first
' around-the-world flight, but it
goes almost that far. The Japs
undoubtedly dug it out with the
idea in mind that it wouldn't ap
: pear to be a Jap ship, and it
wouldn't look like a military ship.
) I got taken in, I'm afraid."
"You did not," Beth defended.
' "You acted just as an officer should
' act You did everything that it
i appeared in your best judgment
; should be done.
, He smiled. "Thanks for the en
couragement It helps ... a little.
J The thing now is to figure a way
, to get out of this mess."
' j "We'll be missed."
i "In the morning," he countered.
"Besides, what good will that do?
, There isn't a plane on the island.
i . . . They were to come later.
' Even if there were, would it help
' the situation 'any for one to fol
low us? That would only throw
more lives after ours."
i They lurched apart as the old
plane took a particularly violent
roll. When they rolled back to-
. gether, they had been shaken
' around considerably. Beth's arms
' were bruised her bonds did not
allow her to brace herself, and she
rolled at the will of the elements.
'. . The lurch had turned Brit so
that he no longer faced her. She
was looking into the middle of
his back. Her eyes saw the way
the bonds pulled his wrists tightly
'. together. -
The plane lurched again. The
bump was another hard one. Beth
was thrown against Brit and she
thought for a moment her teeth
bad been knocked loose.
"It's a rough ride, Lieutenant,"
Brit said.
"Do you suppose . . . 1" Beth
questioned. "
, "What?"
! "Nothing." The idea that had
come into Beth's mind was so bold
that she dared not utter it aloud.
"You started to say something,"
Brit insisted. "What was it?"
- Beth lowered her voice until it
was hardly audible.
"Brit," she said, "can you hear
me?"
"Yes, why?" he replied.
"Then start talking to me . . ,
about anything. I have a plan.
Only ... . keep talking."
He was silent a moment Then
he humored her.
"You know, I never wanted to
call you Lieutenant from the first
moment I saw you, Beth," he
said. "I wanted to call you by
your first name."
He paused.
"Keep talking," Beth said.
"It's nice to take orders from
you," Brit said. "You know, I
like you ..."
She rolled deliberately as close
. as she could. She tried with a su
perhuman effort to brace herself
so that the bumpiness of the ride
would not interfere with what
she intended to do.
J3RIT JACKSON felt a tug on the
cord that held his wrists. He
almost mentioned it. Then the
whole plan registered on his brain,

too.
He held as steady as he could,
and tried to extend his arms back
ward. Beth grasped the cord be
tween her teeth, and worked along
it until she got to (ho knot She
could not see, and though her
teeth told her in general the con
formation of the knot, she found
it difficult to find any looped por
tion of the cord that she could pull
free.
Finally she grasped one of the
loops. She held onto it tightly,
and worked it a fraction of an
Inch loose. The man who tied that
knot was the Japanese, and she
had to admit that ho knew his
cordnge.
Now she, was making progress.
One more tug and the knot
would be untied. Just as Beth
was about to take another grip on
the cord with her teeth and make
that tug, she heard the oompart
ment door being opened.

by Alice Brooks
Here's something very new for
the "nursery set!" These ador
able puppy and kitten pictures
look just like lovely etchings, yet
they are done in such simple em
broidery as single stitch. Parts of
each picture can be crayon-tint
ed. A charming gift idea! Pat
tern 7557 contains two 6 by 73
inch pictures, color schemes;
stitches. ' : ,
To obtain this pattern send 11
cents in coin to The Herald and
News, Household Arts Dept.,
Klamath Falls. Do not send this
picture, but keep it and the num
ber for reference. . Be sure to
wrap coin securely, as a loose
coin often slips out of the envel
ope. Requests for patterns
should read, "Send pattern No.
to followed by
your name and address.
HOLD EVERYTHING!
