Churchill 'CJioppers* How ilcspciiitc was Britain's Britain's defense .situation at one time is evidenced by a new Cluircliill story in Guy Eden's new huoU "Portrait of Ch. .chill." ,\t the clo.se of bis famous chal- lenge: "VVc shall iiglit on at the beaches and in the streets," the l^vinie Minister turned and inur- nuircil something to the Cabinet nicmbcrs. It wa.s this: "I do not know what wc sliall do it with â€" ilinpptrs, 1 suppose," Choppers were the instrnuicnts wardens tarried to help tlicm break into burning buildings. LOUIS ARTHUR CUI^1NINGHAM CHAPTEk IX "You are mistaken," said Meri- del, but here own voice sounded strange to her and tlicre was a teel- ing in her breast as if icy fingers had closed around her heart. "If was some other one you saw â€" some Nazi who looked like â€" liUe Michel." They shook their heads in unisiui. "There was the same small scar on this one's chin," said Pol Mar- tin rallying to his sister's aid, cling- ing to her hand and thinking of Bonhommc Fricot's crumpled body in tlie dimness of the hut and the grin one the German soldier's face as he left the lonely cabin. "It showed blue on the side of his chin." "No more of this!"' Rudolph spoke with unwonted autliprity. "You have no right, no right what- ever, you unRi^llefu chiUIrcn. to cause pain to Madame Lauriu, who has been so good, so kind, so (;en- erous to you." "They are young. Uncle R\i(li." Meridel came ipiickly to their de- fense. "They did not know what they were doing. Madame Lauriu, I am sure, will forgive them. .\nd it is to~you, after all, that they owe their gratitude." "To me!' For a moment, rauglit off giuird, Rudolph almost be- trayed himself. ""Oh, I see what you mean. But please take them away now, Merideel. They have done enonjih mischief I'or today."' * -^ « When they had gone he lient over the od lady, who seemed to see uotliinK of what went on about her. "Madame!" he said earnestly. "Madame! Is there not something I can do? Let me take them away from here. They have caused you this mortal pain, ft is folly, some childish nonsense! They play games of pretending so much and so long that they think the people in them are real. I am sure there never was such a one as Bcnhom- me Fricot â€" " Madame shook her head. '"1 pray God you are right, Rudlo|)li. I'd like to think tliat it is what you say â€" some of their make-bclicvc. But I am afraid â€" " "But I knew Monsieur Miclul an<l he â€" "' "You knciw the .vay he used to talk, Rudolph â€" wild things lic'd say and wilder things he'd do. He had three years at Heidelberg. .\ud he was so cjuick to identify himself with anything revoliintionary. But, my God, I cannot think that he â€" why, his father and two of his un- cles died in the battle of the .Som- nie and Roger wears the cross his king gave him for bravery. N'n- no â€" " "Please niadame. I tell yon it is some cliild"s mistake. It is nolli- ing." "I shall try to think so, Rudolph. The other thing would drivt mc mad. Why, he was as dear to me as my own-.-! conld never think this of him, never."' * * * Yet there wa.v the gnawing doubt". .'\nd in Mcridcl's e.Ves, as she picked up the shattered (liclure of Michel Fabre was the same hurt, terrified look that she had seen in madame's. What a horrible thing was this! If there were truth in it, what ghastly truth! No, no, a man did not turn again.vt his own blood, Why, he would be facing his own brother, seeking to des- troy him. The face of Michel was little marred. Meridel took the broken glass away and put the picture back in its place. , "It is not so, madanie," said Meridel at length. "You must not for a 'noment believe this wild story," "Do j-ou believe it? You kncw- him for only a little while; I knew liim for years, yet 1 feel that m the short lime you were with him you learned much, .^nd do you believe it ?" "I won't let myself believe it. I should have to see it with my own eyes. I should have to hear it from his own lips." And you would believe it then, Meridel? " Woman looked at woman, the young one at the very old, and they understood each other. "Perhaps," said Meridel. Pol .Martin and Rosine were standing witli Meriu' ' and Miss (,'arrick .ind- some of the other children in front of the house one afternoon when a long cream- colored convertible sedan drove up and disgorged a huge beefy man in a checkered jacket and tan slacks, a lady in gorgeous mink and a diamond choker. "Well, bless my soul. Martha!'" The big man's voice seemed to shake the walls of Philibert. "Look what Mimi has here now â€" a kin- dergarten, by gad! Trust her to do the proper thing. How d'you do? How d'you do?" He bowed right and left to the curious children, and beamed on Meridel and Miss Carrick. "I'm Guy Wiutcrside and this is my wife. Martha Stahl. We used to be on the stage with Ma- dame Fabre - Lnsiguan. Where is Mimi? We came to Kurpri.se her. 01), here's someone we know! Here's Rudolph, the butler â€" good old Rudolph!" Meridel was clo.sc ti liim, hut had she been a block away she could still have heard him. Slowly her cheek grew white: her hands were clenched at her side. "Has he been butler here a long time, Mr. Winterside?" she asked softly. The big man grinned down at her' "Bleso you, my dear, of course he has â€" years and year'' and years. He's as much a fi.xture at Philibert as the 't.'itucs in the park. How d'you do, Rudolph? We pojjped in for a bric^^ visit. On our way to Quebec. How is madame? I'll bet slie"ll be surprised."" Ru(IolpIi"f) face was impassive; only Meridel could sec the turnnilf, the sickness, behind the smooth, menial masque. He bowed to the Wintersides. "It is good to see you at:ain. sir. .'\nd you, madame. Let me take you upstairs. Madanie Fabre- Lusignan will be so iilcascd to see you." He conducted them into the house. Meridel and the quiet Miss Carrick 'tared after their depart- ing hacks. Pol Martin and K'osiuc canie close to Meridel. They did not quite understand what bad hap- pened, but they could tell from Meridels face, the fi.xed look in her eyes, the way her nostrils flared that everything was far from well. \w\ Uncle Rudi had been like a different person anil the big man had flung his coat to Uncle Rudi so carelessly and Uncle Rudi had carried it on his arm. "What IS it, Meridel?" Pol .Mar- tin lugged at her hand. (To Be Coutinuedi TINY PATIENT IN HER GLASS HOUSE Two fractured legs and a premature birth is enough to discourage any new baby.

Clarke F.xpectation is b9tttr than real- isation â€" .so they say â€" hut this week's events have been the ex- ception that prove the rule. We have been living on expectation for ages but last Thursday realisation began. Yes. hydri. power was really turned on .it last. It was about two o'clock that o'ay when one of the linesmen came along an<l said, "Are your lights all rghtr"' ".Nre they?" 1 answered ttupidly, and then added hopefully â€" but in- crcdulouly â€" "Do you mean the power is on?" I can see lights guess thiy'rc on all ".'^ure â€" and upst;.:rs so I right." ".Ml right"" â€" what a mild w.iy to put it. And yet after all it was a very conclusive description; 1 am not sure one could find anytliiug better. We turned on switches here, plugged in there, wandered from room to room trying out the lights, switched on the pole lights, and turned <.ii the oiies at the barn, and finally wc agreed that, just as tl.e linesiuaii said, everything "was all right". • ♦ » But that wasu"t the only excite- ment. Two days later our hard- ware man phoned to say my washing machine had arrived. That was almost too good to be true. And yet there was really no doubt about the matter. In due time the machine arr-.vcd home and I'm telling you it is like something out of fairyland ... a magic whirligig that makes drudgery vanish into spacc;'takcs kinks out of backs and makes any wash "the whitest wash"' â€" irrespective of any i>articular brand of soap bars or soap chips. » * * On the same day that the wash- ing machine came to Inighleu our lives, there also arrived a letter from my brother in KugUind, with news that son Boh had been to visit him am! his faiui'v. I'hat was a wonderful piece of news because wc knew then that Bob was one step nearer home though wc had not yet heard from him to that effect. .And for the lioliday weekend six visitors arrived â€" four adults, one little girl and a baby five months old. It is a long time since diapers flapped in the breeze from our clothes" line! But it was good to sec them there, .^nd that baby ... he was just the goodcst and the sweetest wee thing you ever saw. .^s lor i;oin work â€" on .Mi uday there was hay to draw in and our guests supplied Partner with jilenty of help lor < iic day, inc.Npcricnccd â€"hut help none the less.

There is a scurryin.g around from place to place, a picking up from one room and then another. 1 am keeping out of it.
