WHAT WENT BEFOBI CHAPTER in ;-rrHE secret mission on which ' Imhof had been bound was one that came Into his cognizance for !the first time only a week earlier. .On that day he, as everyone else at the XT. S. Intelligence Head quarters In England, had per ceived that something important was In the wind. The offices of 'the higher-ups had buzzed with activity. There were lengthy con ferences of the chiefs, the code ex perts were called in, heads were laid together. Finally things fet tled down and Imhof was sum moned to Colonel Halleck's room, "We've received a message from Enzell," the latter said, going to the heart of matters without pref ace. I Imhof pricked up . his tars. I Enzell was Q-49 and, since Hitler came to power, had been the de partment's most reliable source of secret information about the Nazis, his data, however surprising, al ways proving accurate. Imhof had met him once, Just before the war began, during one of the tatter's rare departures from Germany, and had been deeply impressed by the man at Jheir Interview. . "Enzell needs help," the colonel went on, "and we're sending you." ; Imhof looked his satisfaction. , - It was the reaction the colonel had expected. He had a great deal of confidence in Imhof, who as Q-74 had done some excellent work under difficult conditions. He had proved himself to be a man of daring and resource. He was in love with his work and had a na tive talent for it He knew Ger many and the Germans more than well, and he spoke the language, including several of the dialects, like a native. "I can't tell you much about this Job," Colonel Halleck explained. "We only know what little Enzell says In his message. Here's a copy of it, decoded." Imhof reached for the slip of paper and glanced at the type written words: GOT IMPORTANT STUFF CANT DELIVER. GESTAPO AFTER ME. FORCED PARK DOPE. RUSH MAN GET IT. LEAD IN LETTER ADDRESSED HANS ZELLEN, POSTE RE STANTE, BOPPARD. Q-49. TMPORTANT, eh?" said Imhof. : -1 It would be if Enzell said so. "How did this come, sir?" I "That's one of the things I don't altogether like about it," Colonel Halleck replied. "Radio from t Cats and Van Kleef in Holland. The whole thing may turn out to J be a plant, a trap. You've got to m be prepared for that." i "You mean, sir, that "Station J Free Holland 2 may now be under I Nazi management?" "Exactly. But well have to take j our chances. In any case, you're J to get into Germany fast. Sub- marine to the Dutch coast is out j take you too long to reach that J letter. Well have to drop you by r night somewhere in the Rhine land close to the thing. Any ideas?" "Yes. sir," said Imhof eagerly, ana proceeaea to aescriDe tne plan that had brought him so near his goal, only to leave him, at the su preme moment, plummeting down toward destruction. ' "When I've landed,'" ' Imhof wound up, "I mingle unobtrusively with th stream nf rofiiffMni :haf z win be piling out of the bombed I area. 'Everything will be panic and confusion. The setup win be ideal for my purpose. I ought to reach Boppard in short order. It's not far from Coblenz." "I think it's a good scheme," J Colonel Halleck approved, after a I moment's reflection. "Ill see if I a can put it through." s J rPHE very next day, Imhof was J A called in again. "I've got news for you," was Colonel Halleck's greeting. "The c RAF is raiding Coblenz with sev aeral hundred bombers the night after tomorrow, weather permit Jtlng." J "Coblenz!" Imhof exclaimed. "What luck! Ill be able to land FUNNY BUSINESS That former, window trimmer - time we have t for Q-74 within a few miles of Boppard." "They're lending us a long range observation plane," the other resumed, "together with a pilot from the Night Fighter Command. Name or' he consulted memo randa "Danforth, Patrick Dan forth." "The plat he's to fly for you," Halleck continued, "is at Stans bury. That's in Kent, too. The RAF will let you know the hour and minute of your takeoff. Here are your instructions." He checked the papers and gave them to Imhof, who inspected them curiously a moment and then pocketed them. - "As soon as you've got Eniell's rtuff," the colonel went on, tacitly taking Imhof s success for granted, 1 guess you'd better duck over the Swiss border and give it to our Minister there for transmission. But that's not an order. You're tree to do what you think best "This Danforth" put in Imhof sacktracking a bit before the colo nel's rapid progress from theory te accomplishment "Danforth, yes . . . took up tht officer. "He has a pretty fair idee of what he has to do but you'll want to go over things carefully with him yourself. He's stationed at Skipford. That's in Kent about n hour from London. Here's the address." "I'll go and see him this after noon," said Imhof. "Good." said the colonel ' He stood up, shook hands with Imhof. and the interview was over.
