fS-J5 "Advance slowly, officer of the
$s2posc, and be recognized."
.W'U She moved slowly toward the
2 '45:t voice. She could see no one. She
i realized what a target she would
JjM.n be for a cat-eyed sentry If she
p? krt aroused suspicion.

!SJ' v carcul'y guarded so that it would
Evjf J not shine vertically, onto her an

o&ifct I ' I've got to get you In," he said.
. "It's a long way. But we should

ISvi, Then she saw the sentry un
R?V;s strap a case from under his arm.
WChJ He turned a knob. Her eyes, be
nStl A coming more accustomed to the
tiSfii'1 dark saw he 'was operating
VSw! i' something which appeared to be
f&wP"' portable radio. Then she recog-tX?-
nized the instrument it was one
jJjkL; of the United States Signal Corps'
njLtj walkie-talkies.
aSw 'Can you get headquarters?"
she asked.
J 1 "Yes' at's what I'm do

"S-jS-' "Then . . ." and the order came
"W,, clearly and distinctly, for Beth
lew now what the answer to the
aKMs-j situation was . . . "teE them that

VWij!fCl moment, as though unable to be

"Quick," Beth ordered. "There
.rr-- Isn't a minute to lose."
.
jgJMv'" ' TTHHEB hours later Beth was
Tffife placed on a stretcher, carried
by two husky Medical Detach
ment bearers.
It was noon when she was de
posited at the island hospital and
; a doctor unwrapped the bandage
- the sentry had put on her ankle.
He regarded it with, a diagnosti
cian's eye.
"It's not broken, thank good
: ness," the medical captain said,
"but it will cause you some trou-
- ble for a few days. You'll be on
. crutches for a week, anyway."
Just then Brit came in. He sa
luted her snappily.
"Brave girl," he said.- "You
caved my personal bacon, Lieu
tenant Carter; and what's more
important, you gave the Ameri-
i can forces on this outpost a fight
' vag chance."
i Tell me all about It while the
Icaptain works- on -my ankle,"
KSfS; iBeth said.
ii "I got down within a few min
U utes of the time your radio mes-
ighp-' saBe came through they signaled
yglH to me to let me know that my
identity was established. You can
lAfwk imagine I was spending some
pretty bad minutes Op there."
Yin-1 1 "You were in a dangerous
H- place," Beth said. "I heard the
K".' antiaircraft guns."
Jfefi "I wasn't thinking of myself,"
kX Brit said, and he took her hand In
KE.H(.v his. "I was thinking of how you
tA' might have been killed in that
Piff Jump."
"iV r?i "Anyone would have done the
,i ti., same thing. I couldn't fly a plane,
so there was nothing left for me
1- S except to jump."

Brit said. "We're expecting a raid
within a few hours. I haven't
been able to get much out of
Lita's pals, but I believe the Jap
put a message through to his base,
wherever it may be. I'd say there
will be a raid by tomorrow eve
ning at the absolute latest, and
maybe by tonight By the way,
how do you feel?"
The medical captain Inter
rupted. "If you think I'm going to give
this girl a CC pill and mark her
duty you're wrong, Major."
"Of course not," Brit agreed.
"We'll compromise," Beth said.
"We'll cut out the CC pill, but
I'll bo marked duty. I'm able to
sit up, and when I get some nour
ishment I can answer a telephone
or watch a spotter's chart or do
something else. You need every
man you can get out in the field.
Major. I know darned little about
this island's defenses, but I know
this much. I'm in this fight to
the end!" .
