TtSTCRDAT: Stephanie Mer rill stayed so long at Her Red Cross work that she was tats for her Aunt AUuon's dinner party. A ltd tchen 1'ie hurrted. the crashed her ear. and was very firmly rescued 6v CapL Kurt Knudjen. The Captain was help ful enough, but there was fome thlna about his efficiency that antagonized her. Still, s h a thought, he was very good look tno ' Chapter Two Tbe Second Man "CTEPHANIE. my dear child. 3 you are very late. What de layed you so?" Aunt Allison, re- 5al in fuschia velvet and long iamond ear-rings, met her at the foot of the broad central stairs. Silently, Stephanie cursed her luck and said, aloud, "Auntie dear I had to work late at Head quarters. But it won't take me but a moment to change. I prom ise." "Well, do hurry. Some of the guests have already arrived. And tell Victoria that I want her down here at once." Handsome Mrs. Stone, once a famous beauty, dis missed her niece with a nod. Stephanie ran up the broad stairway to the door of her cou sin's bedroom. "Hi, Vicky. Sorry I'm late and don't you look too utterly utter!" " didn't know he had so charming a daughter," Henri said. Vicky, enthroned before her dressing table, smiled at her in the mirror. "You're far too con scientious about that job. And who was the tall and handsome who drove you over?" Stephanie groaned Inwardly. Captain Knudsen hadn't stood outside in the drive more than three minutes at most. But leave it to Vicky! She simply sensed the presence of handsome man. "Oh just a friend." she said with what .she noped sounded like indifference. "I bumped into nim in town and he gave ma a lift" "Did he give you the black eye. too?" Vicky asked dryly. "Black eye!" Stephanie dashed to the mirror. There under her left eye was a circle, suspiciously blue-purple! And she'd forgotten bout that long scratch on her temple too. Vicky, her lovely dark eyes full of laughter, went on brushing the thick black halt that fell in soft waves 'ust to her shoulder "Come clean, cousin. Just what did you say to handsome Kurt Knudsen to make him take a poke at you?" Charm From Teias TOU know him?" Stephanie asked, amazed. "Not half as well as I'd like to, angel," Vicky turned to raise perfectly curved brows at her. ''He's only Texas most recent contribution to Lafnvt-lte KteUI with a record of brilliant flying as long as vour arm and charm enough for six men." Stephanie shrugged. "If he's your idea of charrr I'll take mine without any " "Thanks, angrl'." Vicky made a face at her. "All the same I'm glad to hear that you aren't to be in the race." "What race?" The crush, the p.ntc. the Stampede at the club danre to night Kurt Knudsen has finally accepted our invitation to a danre!' "What's so wonderful about that?

So she shrugged gracefully, "this time we made the party a speciaj one In honor of the new pilots He practically was forced to ac cept." "How gracious of him!" Ste phanie murmured acridly but her indifference suddenly went all wobbly inside. No time she'd be seeing her tall rescuer again. "You still haven't accounted for your bruises, darling," Vicky re minded her from the doorway that made an ivory frame around her now. Startled. Stephanie recovered quickly. "Oh. a stupid falL You know how steep the back stairs are at home." Vicky would prod her with questions if she knew the truth. Aunt Allison would insist on telephoning Dad who already had enough to worry about. "Too bad you didn't black both eyes. The dark circles make you look devastatingly sophisticated." Stephanie laughed. "Since I'm neither devastating nor soonisti cated, perhaps it's just as well." "You re the most sophisticated person I know," Vicky went on glibly. "That's why I've put you next to Henri de la Pagerie al dinner tonight" Slick Customer , ERCY. He sounds like some- hing out of a French novel." "He is. Or at least he could be He's exciting. Sort of mysterious and terribly smooth. He's som distant relation to the Belgian royal family, they say. and he was attuched to the Belgian consulate here before the war. Now he can't get home and he never hears any thing from his family and it's all perfectly ghastly for him." But not so ghastly for Vicky Stephanie guessed. A man could be dull as ditch water and Vicky would never notice it i' he wore a title or a uniform or an air of foreign sophistication. However. Henri de la Pagerie was anything but dull. Tall, he wore dinner clothes easily, be comingly. Hancsome. too though he seemed blessedly unaware of it. and so completrly the perfect high-born gentlemar tha Ste phanie immediately felt gauche as a school girl. "I didn't know Vicky had a cousin " he snu wher ne d Dut her into hei chair, picked up the napkin she dropper' almost imme diately. His slight accent caressed Vicky's name until it became a tender French endearment. "It is strange she has never mentioned you to me." Not so strange. Vicky would be ficrfectly content to go cousin ess the rest of her days. "I have never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Guy Stevens Mer rill but of course I know who he is" "Do you. really?" Amazed. Sle- j phanie looked up. found his eyes studying nrr with disarming I boldness. Dad was pretty well I known in business circles, natu rally bm he'd never gone in for "hmh society" as he called it "Hut of course." He smiled and Stephanie felt sudden caution send up a signal ilag in the bark of her mind. "I didn't know he had so charming a daughter nor :na he was related to my lovely frirnd. Vicky.''
