Friday, September 4, 1942 Eight The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Chapter Nine Accident In spite of pride that kept her chin up, her smile smiling, Ste phanie's eyes followed Kurt, her pulses like some faithful barom eter, reported his movements through the crowded room. And though she stood talking ani matedly with Henri, the moment Kurt spoke to an officer and then strode quickly from the room, her heart told her he had gone. It told her, too, the moment he returned, stood watching the dancing couples from the door way, like a magnet she felt her eyes drawn to his. Then, amaz ed, realized that he had been looking for her. He crossed the room quickly toward her. "Excuse me, sir," he said, lay ing a hand on Henri's arm have a message for Miss Mer rill." Then, with that quick, in fectious grin. "I promise to bring her back to you right away." Mute, .Stephanie let him guide her out of the long room into the deserted library. By the time he turned to face her, to take her hands in his, she had her trembling under control "Stephanie, I wanted to tell you," he began, his blue eyes searching hers. "I've just had orders we're to leave tonight. Secret orders of course. Only the Colonel knows where we're going. But I've a hunch this is no joy ride. I wanted to say goodbye." "Goodbye?" she echoed in a dry little whisper. "How long do you think you'll be gone?" He shrugged. "Who knows?" His fingers tightened around hers. "That's why this is goodbye." "Good luck, then, and " she dragged her glance away from his, " happy landings." "Thanks. "I've got to skip back to quarters now and get my apologies to Vicky and the others?" ' Stephanie concentrated on the second button of his coat. "Cer tainly. They will all want me to thank you for a lovely eve ning." A lovely evening, she wept silently. The Kiss Suddenly, one finger under her chin, Kurt tilted her face until she had to look at him. "You're so damned sweet," be tween clenched teeth. Then he kissed her, A swift crushing caress that bound her to him for ever even as the gesture of the next moment put him out of reach forever. Forgive that one, Stephanie," he apologized instantly and goodbye now." "Goodbye." For a long moment she stood Staring at the doorway that had swallowed him up. He had gone. She would probably never see him again, Ever. And with him, she realized suddenly, had gone part of herself. Henri found her then, carried r A T T E M T 1 0 M Tl YOU WANT Today's NEWS Today and You Get It Only Thru The Capital Journal IT BRINGS YOU COVERAGE OF WORLD NEWS FIRST.

And finally she found poise enough to give them Kurt's message, "Oh how infuriating," Vicky frowned, "That means his whole squadron will probably be sent and that absolutely deci mates my cocktail party tomor row." Stephanie laughed, an acrid imitation of her real laugh. "That is a disasterl" "Well it is. I've planned this party for weeks." "And now,"' Henri smiled apologetically, "I'm afraid I, too, will have to express my re grets, Vicky." Vicky turned to him, her love ly brows arched. "You too? But surely you aren't flying un der any secret orders tonight?" Flying under secret orders! Stephanie repeated that silently while Henri explained about his sudden urgent business in the city. And later when she'd undress ed, stood a moment at Aunt Al lison's guest room window watching the moon sliver the broad fields stretching toward the Bay, she was suddenly aware Radio Programs Friday Programs ksi.ai I alio Kilocycles Friday P.

Westward now high over the Golden Gate out over the vast black world of the Pacific. "Goodbye Kurt," she whisper ed. "God keep you safe my love." And turning, stumbled to the bed where she buried her sobs in her pillow. Vicky's party was very gay An hour of telephoning that next morning had soon filled the gaps in the guest list that Kurt's Squadron had left. And Vicky, looking her best in a lovely fuschia tea-gown, seemed al ready to have forgotten Kurt and the others. But Stephanie hadn't. She even felt a grow ing irritation that the party should succeed, that life should go on calmly when fifty boys were "somewhere in the Pacific" risking their lives because their duty' demanded it.
