Soldiers will be exempt cn service n v up U

So far so ?*>d. but watch what happens next:
Under the proposed new tax bill, this S2WJ wouH
rot be counted es payment on the tnxes to be col-
lected on the man's 1S42 income a« the man thougii'
when he filed the return. Instead. it wouia be con-

' "> 'T now «ec what would happen to the taxes on 1942 Income, slner
J tr.e ti xes already paid In 1943 arent to be counted against th.v

mcon.r This would not mean (hat taxpayers would have tr
c ut a new Income tux return flffurinf what th«*v owed In term*
tre previous lower rates. Instead, by a simple formula in thr
v t-.x b.ll—a table, not a precise calculation—taxpayers would br
mrd of what taxes they owe on their IMS Income. In the ei«

LOST—OR STOLEN?
•CHAPTER VII
rpilF next day Beth began her
* nutii SI e arose nt 8:1$ and
bri :ikfasted . t 7. At 8 o'clock "*.ie
a ,1 - at a dv*k in the ofllce ar'juccnt
lei Brit Jackson's.
lb w;* Ihi ro before her.
\_"Good morning." he greeted,
smiling.
"Hello." she replied. "I'm ready
for w.uk, sir."
On t^p oi her desk were some
pa pi i f. arranged in stocks, with
weights on them. They went
thiougb tiiem together. It was
not ion« b fore she realised why
her task wu> so secret and so im-
portant. Here w; s a master plan
—not as such, for it was not in
'•plan" form; but it was in its out-
law b a p*.,n anyway—for a tre-
niendou: |)I; ih ol the South Pa-
c.fic war. and for eventually car-
rying that wur straight to Tokyo.

i.V'OU'HE to help me correlate
A these," Hrit said. "They're
nwer . . . NEVEH ... to be out of
our hands. Either 1 have 'hem or
juu have them or we both have
tntm. <>r they ar.? in that safe over
thiri.' Hi pointed to an opened
wall safe, built to fit deep in the
concrtte. "This headquarters U
closely guarded. There is no an*
Whom I spttiflcally distrust. Yet
. . Brit handed her a letter off
top of tiie lubt pile. It was a
smaller stack than the rest but,
she learned, it was more important
than any one of the others. She
read, and a single sentence stood
out as though it had been printed
in block capitals: "You will take
every precaution, i articularljr
against some enemv from within,1
whom, for want oi more complete
information, v.e cannot at present
name."
"I iP'.ant to ask you," Brit said,
"wK-iher you'd seen anything or
r.iyone yet who excited your
I suspicions."
Beth's mind instantaneously re-
verted to Lita Danton's unexpect-
ed (or was it?) appearance. She
almost said. "Lita Danton." Then
she did not. She silently taunted
herself for knowing jealousy to
overcome reason.
"No." Beth replied.
"Be sure and tell me if you do,"
Brit said.
Beth went to work. Her first
taak was to digest out of each of
the papers its prime reason for
existence. It was Brit's order that
th<? sum of all the information
should go into a single page of
typewritten mntter. Once it was
thus condensed, all of the original
matter was to be destroyed. Beth
was told that if she could finish
her job by evening, the originals
could be burned when certain
uther documents were burned un-
der official supervision the next
Bv rtiing.
Beth concentrated so complete-
ly cn her work that she hardly
knew when lunchtime came—and
when it did. she asked an order-
ly to aend some coffee and a sand-
wich Ui her desk.
Ui iruoni MstioiNa, sm> nad pro-
gressed enough an that aha fait
that accomplishment was posstMe
by evening. She reiaxod « moment
and as she did aa, she reaSizr;
that n conversation was going ui
in Brit's office.
• • e
T ITA DANTON was t lk<Mgi end
her shrill voice penetrated the
doorway that joined the oUces just
as though tlie-e were no barrier
between them.
"We're Americans and we're en-
titled to courteous treatment and
ouick passage. Wa didn't oome
ncre deliberately. We got lost. Now
listen here, Brit Jacknon, I'm go-
ing to lose my Jab and Rick Mom
will lose his, too. tf we arent in
Auckland in another few hours.
You've got to let us go."
"Will morning do?" Brit asked.
"Yes." Lita's indignant tone
changed. She' could not conceal
her delight.
So Lita Danton waa with a man
named Rick Moth. Beth wondered
what he looked like. Now she
heard his voice. „
"Thank you so much. Major
Jackson," a man said. "I felt Miss
Danton could convince you. Very
embarraasing for our plane to go
astray—but we feel fortunate we
found r.n Island, and did not get
lest out on the waves."
Beth heard a dour open and
close. Then Brit entered her of-
fice.
"Darned bad," Brit said. "Thoso
two certainly put me in an odd
place. I suppose I'm going to have
to let tlicra go." He idly looked
through the papers on which Beth
was about to start work. "You're
getting along fine. You're almost
. . . Say, Where's hat decoded di-
rective that was in these papers?"
Beth taught the note of sudden
alarm i;i his voice and read con-
cern in his eyes.
"I don't kn v, Brit. I've . . ."
"Beth, this is serious! For
heaven's saUe, you can't just cure-
k-ssly lose a thing like that. You're
doing a job that involves secrecy
and trust!"
