I rM 44 TnrWATTf 1 TTh 1 TH i I I Bombers Down I CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO. In a few sentences David told the story of the last twenty-four hours. The flight over Brest his capture, and subsequent escape. "That is well so Anne commented when he had finished. "And now, I want you and to help me.

I have no money, but" i "We do not want your money, Monsieur David. We would even help a stranger if he were fighting against these devils who have robbed us of our freedom and are now robbing us of our There is nothing I would not do to hurt them and their vile cause. I hate them." She fairly yelled the word "hate" and spat on the floor for emphasis. "What can we do? The old one has gone to the market with the boys. They will be back for breakfast.

Now tell me." "First give me a cup of coffee." She shrugged her shoulders. "Monsieur David is an optimist We have had no coffee'in months. Hot milk, if you like. It is very warming if you pour in a glass of Calvados." "Thank you. i "Here is What I want, First we must have four suits of the oldest fishing clothes you can find." "C'est facile." "Good! Then I want Yves to lake us in his tunny ship to a point as near to the English coast as possible.

We will tow a smaller boat and row the rest of the distance. A Breton tunny ship sailing in British waters might attract attention, and I do not want him separated from you." 'The old woman thought this over carefully before answering. "C'est pas facile. But wait until my husband returns. He will know more about that than I.

Meanwhile, I'll get you out of that Nazi uniform that I hate so much. The old one would probably break his stick over your head If he came in and found you like that." She hurried off and was soon back bearing a faded and patched pink blouse and trousers to match. Also a pair of wooden shoes. "You will have to go she said. "I find no caps." Hutch changed while she went to find more clothes for his friends.

In the fishing outfit he felt better and went over to look at his image in a broken piece of mirror nailed to the wall. What he saw amused him, and pleased him. This was how he had dressed when fishing with Yves. The dirty face, light growth of beard, and tousled hair gave him the appearance of being real. No German would ever take him for an officer in the RJV Of that he was certain.

While he was gazing at himself, the father, followed by his strapping 16 and 17-year-old sons, entered. "Monsieur Hutchinson!" The simple fisherman seemed overcome with joy as he rushed forward to shake hands. "But what good wind brings you here? It is splendid. It is magnificent. he shouted.

"Bring us the bottle of Calvados. We must drink to the good -health of Monsieur." He saw the bottle on the table, fetched two glasses, and filled them. "Monsieur Hutchinson, I hope you will join me in drinking to the day when France will once again be free. Vive la France!" They drained their glasses. "Now tell me what brings you here, mon ami? But first let us sit down and fill our glasses.

An empty glass Is the sign of a miserly host There!" They sat on opposite sides of the table and Hutch once more told his story. He also said that he and his friends wanted to get to so as to continue fighting, as quickly as possible, and laid his plan before Yves. "It is not so the old man said. "There is but one thing that we must avoid. You must not sail away from the port with us.

The Germans ask for our papers every time, and examine them carefully. They are rob bing us systematically, Monsieur Hutchinson. They are bandits." Hutch pursued the subject of escape. He knew that his friends were waiting anxiously for his return, and risked recapture until he brought them a change of GREAT RHEUMATIC PAIN REMEDY ft CeaUins Ne UuUti Tha famous Enillih prescription which krinrl PROMPT ANO SATISFACTORY RELIEF to iuN (rats ARTHRITIC and RHEUMATIC PAINS NEURITIS, GOUT, LUMBAGO.

"We intended to sail tomorrow night However, everything is aboard except the ice, and that can be run into the hold In an hour; so I guess we had -better! get you off. We 11 sail this afternoon, just me and the boys. For the other question, you know the little beach, Les Sables Blanc, about a kilometre past the point?" "Yes. "We'll troll back and forthVout beyond that until dark. Then one of the boys will come for you in the small boat.

He'll give three gull calls. Understand?" "Excellent, Yves." "Then, when we're! not too far from England you'll have to' cut away and row for ii With any wind we should not: take more than five or six days. Rations may be slim, but there'll be Calvados." He laughed heartily and took a burning swallow. "That means you'll lose your dingey." "I guess so. Well, you can pay me after the war." Just then Anne came into the room carrying a bundle carefully tied up in an old table cover.

"Here you are.j Monsieur Hutchinson, three more outfits. Not very chic, but hope they will serve the purpose." He thanked her, said good-bye, and hurried off to tell his friends the news. Hutch found the two French men and Rusty waiting in the woods where he had, left them. They bad not beguri to worry about him, as his return was quicker than they had anticipated. "Everything's wizard! he yell ed even before he reached them.

The Frenchmen raised their eyebrows in interrogation, and Rusty explained that this was R.A.F. slang, meaning that! everything was O.K. "And OK. is American slang meaning that everything is wiz Pierre said, All very clear." As he passed out the suits of fishermen's clothes Hutch went over the situation. i' When he had finished Pierre said, "Sounds O.K." I Wizard!" Henri proclaimed, proud of a new English word to add to his rather limited vocabul ary.

I They had laughed a great deal when they saw Hutch arrive in his patched, faded pink dungarees, but when they got into their own they laughed even more. Rusty's outfit wasn't so but Henri bulged out of his and nearly split the seams. Pierre looked like the youngest son on whom the old family overalls had been, hung without thought line. The trousers hit him above the ankles, and the blouse drooped dismally from his shoulders. Henri took one look at his friend and repeated, 'Wizard!" "No, lust Rusty said.

i "Well, if they'll get us out of this I don't care what; they look Pierre said. "I suppose we'll freeze, but anything is better than that chateau bastille with the Fritzies jumping around and clicking their heels." Everyone agreed to this. Hutch said, "I don't see why you fellows can't keep your uniforms. We can roll them up and put them in this table cover." "It would be dangerous if someone searched Pierre objected. "If anyone searches us, it won't matter what's 'in the Hutch said.

"The first thing they'll ask for is papers, and we haven't any. The thing is don't let's be searched. In fact, I think we had better keep out of sight until dark. The beach isn't far, and we can get there while the boy is rowing in from the ship. Fifteen min utes brisk walk from here at most We'll not move before sunset." Henri had tied up the bundle of uniforms tightly, so that it looked no larger than when Hutch had brought it "What about food?" he asked.

"For one I'm starving." "I think we all Hutch said. "And unless manna rains down from heaven there's nothing to do about it except continue to starve until we are aboard. I'll tell you, its no fun passing German sol diers, and the place is full of them, and wondering each minute whether or not you are going to be stopped for questioning. Don't forget that the news of our escape has surely been I- telephoned to Concameau, and they will be on the lookout, i i "For one I prefer an empty prison cell to a full Rusty remarked. "You both speak like Pierre said.

"I share your views to the fullest extent Take a hitch in your belt Henri, and think more of your country and less of the Inner man. We must con tinue the battle to overthrow the Hun. And now that I have that off my chest, let us while away the time with a serious game of bridge." From- Inside his under shirt he withdrew the pack of cards, now not only grimy but also soaked, and the pencil stub as well as a bedraggled sheet of paper on which he had already done some scoring. I And so until the sun dropped into the ocean the four fugitives, dressed in their faded pink Breton costumes, sat on the ground in the little woods, bidding spades, hearts, no trumps, little, and big slams, and what-have-you. Hutch was dummy and win- dered out to the edge of the woods to have a look at the light "Bet ter be he said when he came back.

"Just one more rubber. We're Rusty suggested face tiously, i To get to the beach it was neces sary to cross the main highway. They approached it cautiously, and before they reached it the sound of marching boots came to their ears. Hutch told his companions to wait and went forward to see without being seen. High reeds that grew up to the edge of the road helped him here.

It was a patrol pf German sol diers, and their officer was scan ning the horizon, and examining the countryside carefully to the right and left He was undoubted ly the head of a searching party, and it was not difficult for Hutch to guess that he and his com panions were the object of the search. They were marching In land, but there would be other parties on the, lookout. So he returned to his friends, and warned them that they must be doubly careful; They waited, scarcely daring to. breathe, concealed in the tall reeds, until dark ness was complete.
