Stepfumi Mr. Till hat decided thai in spit o) flrit impressions she tl danger ously clou ce loving Cap! Kurt Knudsen. Unfortunately. Stepha-te-t court 11 Vicky haj she him idea, end it talcing paiu to Im prove her position. And mow Kurt ie called to duty with fie air corps, and Stephanie if let to the slightly sinister vnintttra tione of Henri de la Paaerie. Chapter Five Danger Ahead ITOW charmingly your home 1 1 tituated." Hunri mil nearly an hour later ai they drove up before the old-fashioned three ftoried house on Sonoma Street where Merrills had lived since the Mad Forties. "The view is nretty tonight." Btephanie murmured. She'd al ways loved the haughty old house, let so firmly on the crest of one of the City's steepest hills, imper vious to time ana earthquake and seasons. And looking down on the beautiful harbor like a watchful duenna. "Marvelous view of the Golden Gate." Henri enthused. "Perfectly marvelous. I'd no idea one could see the entrance to the harbor so sd endidlv from here. "You must see it In the day time, some time. Stephanie mur mured vaguely as they went up the steep steps to the front door. "I should be delighted." Henri bowed and then, when she'd thanked him. said goodnight Strange, she thought, watching his car turn out the gravelled drive past the garage that had once been a stable, how unrea sonably she disliked that man. Then she immediately pro ceeded to put him completely out of her thoughts as old Tsang waddled to the door In answer to her ring, his moon fact strangely grave and unsmiling. "Mister Guy is waiting for you In the library, little Missy." He stood nodding like a mandarin, hands rolled Into white apron. Stephanie pulled off her -gloves. "Anvthine wrong. Ttani? The old Chinaman shook his head. "Mister Guy look pretty lick, rretty sick. Which meant. Stephanie trani' tated easily, that her father was tired. Had proDawy been too tired to eat the delicioua dinner Tsang had undoubtedly prepared pains takingly. To Tsang'a mind, any one who couldn't eat the delicious dishes he concocted was "pretty lick. Especially his beloved Mu ter Guy. Old Tsang had been hovering over him, watching his likes and dislikes, worrying about Guy Merrill sines hed arrived from a hospital some forty-five years ago. "And where you been. Utile Mlwy?" Tsang demanded. Stephanie smiled. Next to Mis ter Guv. "little Missy" received the rest of Tseng's concern. 'To Aunt Allison's. Fix us some hot chocolate, will you Tsang?" Tsang' beamed. "And some lit tle cake. I fix It" Delighted, he Shuffled off to his kitchen. Stephanie's father looked up from his book as she pushed open the door to his study. For an in stant she was shocked speech leu by the heavy lines of fatigue, anxiety she saw engraved in his face. Surely he hadn't heard about her accident, been worried Dynamite "TTELLO, dear. Been hoping i you'd turn up soon." He smiled and some of the fatigue was erased as he held out his hands to her. drew her down onto bis knee. What you been up to? Stephanie sighed her relief. It wasn't she he'd been worrying about anyway. She'd tell him about the car In the morning. Now she tried to smooth away the weariness in his face. "Oh. Just a party at the Mavfair with Vicky and a new tall and handsome to drive me home. What about vou? His smile flickered, died ont llowlv. Like a warm fire, its to ing left his face ashen. Slowly he shook his head. "I only wish I knew." "Why, Daddy. What's th mat ter." Passing one hand across his eves, he released a treat sieh. "It's been one damned thing after another up at the works at Tilan. I don't know what'i wrong. But something's rotten. We've had ena delay, one accident after another. All absolutely unnecessary. All sheer carelessness." "And whose fault was it?" "We can't tell." Scowling again. Guy Merrill beat his fist gently against the padded arm of the chair. 'Not Maguire. I Know i m right In trusting him. Most of th other men are old and trusted em ployees. All union men. All good workers. All loyal or at least i believe tney are." Then who" "That's just It Who Is responsi ble. Overnight things go wrong. Orders don t get delivered straight Material gets sent to the wrong place." He Jammed his pipe between clenched teeth. "Damned if I know." "But Dad. can't you get police help. Soma detectives or some thing?" He shrugged. "I could If I had anything to report But so far I haven't any specific evidence against anyone. It's just Inefficien cy on the surface. You can't tell the F.B.I, that." "And your defense order are important of course, aren't the; Daddy?" He grinned wryly. "Dynamite. Most of it for China via the Burma Road." He stared thought fully into the blazing hearth-Are. "Whoever knows enough about our business up there to intercept inter-office and plant memos, dis tort simple orders, la going to know about the shipload of ni trates from Santiago due this week, too." "But what could anyont do to that?" "If I could guess that honey. I wouldn't lost so much sleep." He ruffled her hair affectionately. "But don't worry. They haven't licked me yet." Stephanie smiled. "And they won't," she assured him. Sabotage "I'M not so sure," he said with foreboding that was so unlike her father's usual calm confidence that Stephanie felt alarm take hold. "Then how It It possible? What makes you so sure some of the employees are not loyal?" Ste phanie argued. "Naturally, that's the question. I employ over 1500 men. Some of them have worked for us for years. In the main, the turnover is pretty rapid. Working with ex plosives isn't exactly the safest lob In the world." "But can't you nut detectives on the trails of these new men, discover what they are" Mire a thousand detectives to trail bovs that never get near my office? Who don't know any more than you do about the general plan of work?" Guy laughed. "My dear, you a break me. Besides, it s not that simple." -simpler "The man who Is doing Titan the greatest harm la probably someone whose tracks are so well covered It will take months to catch him. I don't know, of course. But I have a feeling the trouble at Titan is only part of a perfectly organized plan to sabo tage Bay Region Industry." btenhanie tried to laugh. "DaHHv dear, vou're borrowing trouble. San Francisco's had la bor strikes and picket lines be fore. That doesn't mean we're all going to be blown to bits." He smiled slowly. "Maybe yon are right by denr. I hope so. Ah" he said as Tsang bearing a big silver trav. pushed open the door, "good for you Tsang. Hot chocolate. I'll be wishing I had more of this before I get to Titan tonight." "Tonight?" Stephanie repeated, amared. "Surely you're not going up there this late?" "Have to." Guv sipped the hoi drink slowly. "Want to be there when that boat docks tomorrow." "But Daddy.isn't it risking your own safety unnecessarily?" Ste phanie persisted when Tsang. still muttering, shuffled ont of the room. "Don't worry." He cuoped her chin with his hand. "Only the good die young you know." "That certainly let's you out," she teased, pretending to laueh. But she couldn't let go of the strange apprehension that nipped at the her-ls of her thoughts.
