CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
Colin raised himself on his elbow.
“What if those bombers take off to-
night?"
“They’ll hit some pretty heavy
going. There’s a patrol of ^pursuit
planes strung across Canada—
every last plane fit to fly is in the
air. Meantime, Winnipeg, Ottawa,
and Toronto are blacked out—We’re
calling it a practice maneuver.”
Few slept that night. Long be-
fore daylight the gunners began
putting the last loving touches te
their weapons.
Dawn crept over the world as a
red sun touched the southern ice to
fire and, with that first beam, Dowl-
ing and his men followed Colin out
over the frozen snowfield.
Less than two hours brought thdm
to their goal. Well hidden in a shel-
tered elbow of the bay, the Gennftn
air base looked quietly innocent be*
neath the morning sun. Two low,
squat buildings, covered with ice to
camouflage them from the air, and
three huge White canvas hangars,
staked down against the wind.
But no sign o*f life; no human ac-
tivity. Scanning thg terrain with a
practiced eye, Col. Dowling called
his lieutenants to him.
“Establish your machine guns
where we agreed," he gave his crisp
orders. “At the first sign of resist-
ance we’ll rake them with three
fires. You have exactly thirty min-
utes to make ready.”
Separating into groups, the gun-
ners moved eloser, keeping well
back behind the shoreline, while
Colin led Dowling and a squad of
men to the shelter of a hummock.
There they baited, and polin heard
the metallic click of machine guns
loading; then Dowling whispered,
“We can blow the very Hitler out of
Fritz from here!" Wateh in hand,
Dowling waited. In thirty minutes,
precisely to the second, Dowling
turned to his nearest gunner.
“Fire a burst just this side of
the building," he commanded.
Shots rattled, and puffs of shat-
tered ice sprang up before the Ger-
mans’ hut. It was like stamping
on an anthill as a score of men in
white parkas came piling out, some
with rifles, but at sight of that wait-
ing circle of men and guns, they
drew quickly back and began hud-
dling around a tall officer standing
in the doorway.
The officer barked an order, and
a German soldier bolted for the
nearest banger.
“He’s going to blow up the
bombers!” Colin shouted, but Dowl-
ing already had nodded to his gun-
ner. A burst of shot, and the run-
ning Nasi sprawled on the ice just
as the Canadian fighter planes came
screaming in, barely clearing the
hummocks, circling over the afar
base so low that the barrels of their
machine guns glinted ia the early
light
The Nasis gave up all show of
resistance. Throwing down their
guns, they crowded back toward the
cabin, while their officer worked
forward with raised hands. "Nicht
mehrT' he called.
Leaving a strong guard over pris-
oners and planee, Colonel Dowling
and Colin Rae were on their way
back to Learmonth. “No one,’’ the
former grumbled, “who holds down
my job should be surprised at any-
thing. But this plot came so near
succeeding I get a cold chill. They
had bombs and drums of gas enough
for twenty trips. They had flight
maps for every airplane-producing
center in the United States, and de-
tailed routes to Detroit and New
York. It could have been a major
catastrophe of the war."
“How did they get those planes
here?”
“They might have come in on sub-
marines, but I doubt it. They could
have flown them in Without the least
difficulty. Why, ten years ago, Ger-
many made a test flight from Ice-
land to Chicago and Detroit in an
old crate of a flying boat. Made it
nonstop. Think how simple it would
be now. It was partly because of
that danger the United States land-
ed troops in Iceland. Those bomb-
era may have come from Norway,
via Greenland perhaps.1
Colin had been looking out the
window. Suddenly, he asked, “Do
you need me after we get to Lear-
month?”
“Why?”
“Because I’m starting out after
Jonathan Dove.”
The Colonel frowned. “Be sensi-
ble, Rae. Men are on the watch for
him now throughout Canada. Dove
can’t stick his nose out this coun-
try"
"Yes he can.”
"How?”
“By meeting that plane he used

“When I come back,” Colin an-
swered, “you can count on me.”
An hour later they landed. Leav-
ing Dowling to radio Winnipeg.
Colin hurried directly to DoVe’a
school.

trail outside Benedict’s cabin, and'
it was Nate who opened the door at

both hands, as if to make certain
he had come back to her. Nate
asked, “What happened up above?”
Quickly Colin told them of the
Nazi air base episode, then he asked
the question that Blair dreaded.'
“Where is Dove?"
“All we know is this,” Tennant
answered. “Yesterday he came
back to the school and left with his

shortly, “and Tm the only one that’s

“All right.” Dowling's shoulder*
rose hi reluctant consent. “Have it
your own way.” He looked into
Colin's eyes. “But when you get
back, I’ve got a job for you.”

Nate stopped, then casually he
added, “I suppose you’ll be going
after him.”
“Just as soon as I can pick up a
dog team.”
“I knew you’d say that. In fact”
—Nate looked self-consciously to-
ward Miss Benedict—“I promised
Blair I'd go with you.”
Colin Shook his head. “This is a
one-man job.”
“No, it isn’t.” Nate’s eyes were
serious. “It’§ bad business follow-
ing a man like Dove, and you know
it. Let me come, Colin. We'll use
my team. It's the fastest in the
country. I’ve got food and eider-
downs packed for both—I’ve even
got your favorite rifle, the 25 high-
power. Let me come.”
Colin’s eyes rose to the big trap-
per's bandaged head. “I’m going a
long way, Nate, and I’m going fast.
You need rest.”
Tennant’s dark face hardened.
"Dr. Benedict told me some things
about Dwe last night—the way he
had Olsen plant snare wire and

to set the Crees against me. I've
got my own account to settle with

team.

stick banks should borrow their
money lending needs from the U. S.
Treasury for a like earned profit.
There is no fundamental difference
in the two services under the profit
system, war as a cure for unemploy-
ment would then lose faith, and the
people would tire of fighting and
financing European wars.
The Constitution gives to Con-
gress only, the power and authority,!
to create money and to regulate the
value thereof. And the Constitution-
has never licensed Congress to re-
linquish or transfer that responsi-
bility to private institutions.
Under the plan here proposed, j
government rightly becomes the sole
source of money issued, and private
banks are retained as distributors of
money on a borrow and lend basis
Figure it out for yourself how this
would effect our economy and the
taxpayers.
