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

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.
