"We Are Not Alone®
FROM THE NOVEL BY JAMES
HILTON
THE girl, it seemed, had missed her cue for the whirl- wind dance business, and nobody had had time to find out the reason for her absence until after the last curtain, when a locked door and a smell of gas had been reported.
The door was cusily opened with the key of another door; then the girl was found, sprawled over a couch, half- dressed in the costume of her act, unconscious and breath- ing heavily in the tainted at- mosphere. David took, in the scene professionally. "Noth- ing to be alarmed about," he said.

said she would. "As soon as she comes to you can tell her she's got the sack. I'm the manager, and I don't stand for this sort of thing. So you can tell her-see? And tell her to clear out before we fotch the police! She could be locked up for this!"
́"[ ̈wouldn't ̃Tetch the police if I were you," said David quietly, "It wa_idn't do your show any good." The manager banged the 'door, und David began-artificial

"You're not really tired of life. You're tired of pain and loneli- ress and hopelessness. You don't really wont to die. The time to die is when you have something to die for-the time to be tired of life is when life is tired of you."
They left the pier and threaded through the crowds
on the still frequented Promenade. He led her to her lodgings, an apartment house dingy even for a back street in a seaside town. He imagined that would be the end of their meeting, but at the house there was surprise.
By some lightning spread of gossip, the landlady had learned of happenings at the Pler Pavilion, with the result that she stood truculently in the front hall, hips and lips tightened. have no sooleider in my house!" came her immediate greating, as David help- ed the girl up the flight of steps to the porch.

The tragedy really began when he was called at night to care for a dancer who had broken a wrist. Each Friday he spent in Sand- mouth caring for patients. Miss- ing the train home, he went, in the evening, to a show on the pier be- cause the girl was billed as one of the dancers. She did not ap- pear and he found that she had attempted suicide.
She left her bag there and paid a week's rent in advance, for which she had money, enough of her own. Then they shook hands, and the gave him the little crushed smile, and he went off to the station to catch the morning train.
He was in Calderbury by noon. It irked him to cram all his visits into half a day, but he felt some compensating satisfaction in have ing done one of those things he ought to have done; even more, he felt he could now put the mot ter completely out of his mind for week. A reminder, however, was the German primer which he took down from a dusty shelf on the Thursday after meeting Leni at Sandmouth.

ONE SQUADRON-32 NAZIS
A fighter pilot who has taken part in three big air battles in five days told the story in a broadcast of his aquadron's destructive attacks on the German raiders in which they shot down 32 enemy aircraft.
