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.
