MOVING DOWN A PEG

In contrast to the Arctic .Tern which spends the greater part of the year getting to and from its winter resort, more than ll,000 miles distant. there are some birds that migrate only a little way. Certain mountain regions offer examples of Chiclradees, Juncos, and several other species that nest either on the summits or high up on the slopes. and in autumn simply move to lower levels. Other birds do migrate from north to south as winter approaches. but the individuals of the various spe- cies travel only a few miles - they all just move down a peg.

This discovery of fairly recent years is possible because there are now so many more bird watchers than in the past. and observations can be made through banding, the use of airplane census strips, and counts from automobiles. Birds such as Robins, Bluebirds, Song Sparrows. Meadowlarks. and Blue Jays are found in certain districts of Canada or the United States throughout the year. But the question came up. "Is this the identical bird living here this win- ter that was with us in the sum- mer?"

Not many years -ago the Robin was picked as being most suitable

for testing, and the Atlantic coast

That would mean obscurity for himself for a time-but nothinz worse. Unless-and the thought seemed to transfer itself into lot- ters of fire-unless Prinz had de- oeived him. suppose that there was poison in the glass?

Hatred surged up within him. It was Prinz. Prinz had double-cross- ed him. Then hatred went down and only fear was left. He tried to force a. smile-not knowing how ghastly it. appeared in the aahen whiteness of h face.

" You will drink from the other glass." Oliver ordered.

His hands were upon zakas in a grip terrifying because of their strength. zakas tried to cry for help. A hand moved to his throat

"No!" he cried. "No. It's poison."

Oliver flung him away and he reeled across the cabin, crashizig into the chest, Breathing painfully ha straightened up. somehow he had cut himself in trying to save the fall. A warm tickle of blood gathered at the coner of his mouth and dribbled down his chin.

Oliver stepped nearer to him and he shrank back.

chosen as the best location. be- cause the seciion about Washing- ton. D.C.. is the breeding home of the southern variety of this spe- cies. Around the end of October. it seems to disappear until about the first of April; but during that period its place is taken by the northern Robin. At the most southern part of the Robin's range. on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, there is a concentration in winter; we. in Canada, have just the rid bird left. This appears to be con- clusive proof that Robins. itt least. migrate but a short distance. and their places are taken by others from a trifle farther north. lt seems likely that this rule would hold good for other species.

But all rules have their excep- tions. It has been found by ob- serving birds which have sub- species (so that they can be dif- ferentiated) that Yellowthroats of the Atlantic coast. and Western Fox Sparrows have another method of arranging themselves in winter. In both these cases. birds that nest in the south are practically non- migratory. while those which breed farther north fly right over them each autumn, to spend their win- ter holidays still farther south. The Yellowihroats summering as far north as Newfoundland migrate to the West Indies. This sounds like a game of leap frog.

"Didn't know!" Oliver repeated the words contemptuously. His hands came out swlitly, Zakas was forced to his feet. bent backwards and shaken. He was shaken until his greasy hair flopped down over his eyes, shaken until flecks oi blood from his cut mouth shot down upon his clothing, shaken until he was gasping and sobbing for -breath.

"Stopl Stopi" he gasped.

"Will you talk?" Oliver demand- ed.

Zakas nodded. trying to keep tears from his eyes. For :1 minute. or two he leaned against the table regaining his breath, try- ing to muster scme control ovtrr himself.

"Talk!" said Oliver.

"Prinz did it," Zakas whispered "He mixed it and he made me send for you and give it to you."

Oliver had no difficulty in be- living this. But he gave no llldlciiin ion.

"00 on." he said quietly. There was no pity in his voice only conv tempt and anger.

"Prinz is a fiend,” said zakas "And so is Rutter. I have known Prinz for many months. He has :i hold over me. There were offences. I had committed in the past-nm thing so serious as murder, mind you. But Prinz and his associates discovered it, They blackmailed me into this business, It was Prinz who killed Stefan Litwin. Then he dis- covered that you were not satisfied with the explanation he had given and that you were trying to dis- cover the truth, so he ordered me to ask you in here and give you .i drink. He told me that it woutd only render you unconscious for a time-but I do not know whether that is true. Prinz is not to be trusted."

If he hoped that this would be sufficient, -he was mistaken.

"I can -believe most of that." said Oliver. "But there's more to it Come on! or do I have to persuade you?"

"I'll explain all that I can." Zakas promised. "I know most of it because Prinz was forced to con- fide in me. And I discovered some more when Litwin was killed,

"Prinz is a German, and a mem- ber of an organization which did all it oould to support the Nazi regime. They still plan to keep alive the ldeaology and to continue their work in preparatlcn for some future day.

"I know little about Rutter-but he is an important man. and it was decided that it was necessary to rescue him. That is why this ship was chartered. Rutter is. I think going blind, and operations are necessary. There has to be eye grafting. I was told that Litwin had volunteered to permit Dr. Prim to remove a strip of cornea from one eye for grafting purpose." Oliver could not restrain 5 gasp of horror at this. He saw at once that Litwin could not have volun- teered.

"Unfortunabaiy." Zakas continu- ed. "1..ii7wln died during the oper- ation. I think that Prinz threw him overboard-but I do not know for certain."

"who else is with Prinz and Rut- ter? is Lubhe?"

No. He is the engineer-that is i.”

"What of Lacoste7'

"He knows very little-but Prinz has some hold over hi.m. On the other hand Lacoste has no love for you."

"Why?"
