Chapter Six Trouble At Titan ALL through th long hour it headquarter! the next day. Btephanit carried the dull burden of her anxiety for her father. But aj the busy hour aped alone and no word came from Titan, the be. an to relax a little. Probably he had been overly tired, over wrought ao that the whole picture had loomed blacker than it really was. It wasn't like Guv Merrill to be that way. Still, he was under train. Everybody was. With a lone sigh. Stephanie turned into the drive, then topped short There, parked un der the old porte-cochere stood the little blue coupe. Her own car with not a scar to show. But lux. she fled up the front tens. "Tseng, who ahe began as ahe met the old servant in the front halL "Gentleman In the front parlor waiting lor little Missy, Tsang beamed. Could It be Kurt? Her heart picked up momentum as she paused a moment at the parlor. Then, still not sure she could con trol her leaping excitement- ahe Went in. The tall man standing before the marble fireplace was not Kurt Knudsen. Stephanie'a excitement collapsed like a pricked balloon. Then, recovering politeness, she smiled. "Hello. Henri. This Is sur prise." He bowed, that strangely for eign little gesture. "A pleasant one. I trust" Henri would say something like that Stephanie thought wryly and suppressed a giggle. Ameri can boys didn't sound like some thing out of a novel. "I suppose I have you to thank that my car Is in the drive out there and not marooned in a Per ait garage?" Henri bowed again. was sure you would need it" "It was very kind of you to bother. And hearing her own speeches take on airs, she laughed, "you mint have crossed some palms with silver to get It done so quickly." "It was quite simple. With a little pressure." Plenty of pressure, she'd wager sn that Henri looked like the kind of man who'd demand ser vice, and get HI And she was quite right about that Later, aa they stood in the crowded foyer at the Skyline. San Francisco's number one smart apot ior the moment Hrnri's "pressure" got him a table prac tically out of thin air. and a bow ing waiter, and pheasant stuffed with wild rice. Compliments From Henri STEPHANIE hadn't wanted to accept his invitation to dinner. But after all, he'd been so con siderate as to return her car. Nat urally she couldn't tell him she'd much prefer spending the evening with a good book. And now, she thought sipping the sparkling Moselle Henri had ordered, she wasn't sorry she'd come after all. She'd never been In the Skyline before. Campus dates rarely included dinner at ten dollars a platel Ana Henri himself was no slouch. Stephanie was glad (he nun i listened to a perverse whim to wear her uniform. Her "good" brown suit matched her eyes and hair and the gold blouse "did things" for her. She knew she was well dressed and that Henri was proud of her. "You art very lovely tonight Roosevelt Against Drastic New Taxes To Halt Inflation Washington, April IS. (Jl The administration was reported authoritatively today to have de cided aRalnst asking for drastic new tax increases as a means of combating inflation. Attempts were under way to compose disagreements among high government officials over a broad program envisioning the freezing of prices, wages, profits and bonuses. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., was rep resented by his aides as believ ing the present $7,600,000,000 tax program was sufficient, that voluntary purchases of war bonds could be stepped up to $11,000,000,000 a year thus ab sorbing excess purchasing pow er, and that consumer mrrchand lse should be rationed. He was understood to be on posed to most of the plans CRISP GABARDINE SUITS FOR SPRING! $33.00 (All Wool) Store tor Men 1 Stephanie." he said then tat an swer to her thought "You are a beautiful woman. Beautiful and intelligent 1 assure vou. top, it is a very rare combination." "Thank you. Stephanie mur mured, flushing and at the same time, surprisingly aware that hit compliments embarraued but did not thrill her. bhe glanced at Henri now to see if the flattery was as insincere aa it sounded. But tht baffling depths of his dark eves told her nothing. "You look tired now. my dear," he said with what sounded almost like tenderness. "Perhaps vou would rather I took vou home." Stephanie smiled gratefully. "I am tired." "You work far too hard at your Headquarters." he said as he helped her into her coat "Oh no I don't Besides, the work Is there to be done." "And 1 have no doubt that you do it exceptionally well." Call From Titan TSANG had the front door opened the moment she and Henri reached the front porch. One glance at that familiar round face roused the anxiety that had lain dormant during the evening. "Tsang! What is it?" "Bad. little Missy." He waggled his head. "Telephone lady wants to talk long wav off." The long distance operator. Ste phanie translated, racing to the phone. Dad calling, of course Trouble at Titanl It took eternities to put the call through. When Stephanie finally heard her father's voice, she cried. "Daddy! Are you all right?" "Yes. Everything's under con trol now. Just wanted vou to hear from me before vou got the newa from anyone else and began to worry. "We caught a fellow trying to fire the boat just after it docked this morning. 'The boat loaded with ni trates?" she gasped. "But how" "He'd been smuggled aboard, somehow. I have guards posted everywhere. He might even have gone aboard when the boat left Santiago. Nobody seems to know anything about him." "But vou caught him." "Sure, but he won't talk. I'm not even sure he .has much to telL Pretty obvious he's lust a tool." "Then that means that whoever la the brains of the plot will prob ably try again." "Probably." Guy Merrill laughed drvlv. "But evervthing'a serene tonight. I probably won't be home for a few days. "Oh. Daddy, please try to get back. Will vou try to get home tomorrow?" "I'll see. Be a good girl "Bye. Dad." Slowly she replaced the re ceiver. He'd aoundrd confident but if there was still danger Turning, she was suddenly aware that Henri had followed her to the door of her father'a study, stood now where he couldn't have helped hearing her end of the conversation. "Forgive me for listening, Ste phanie, he apologized instantly coming toward her. "1 couldn t avoid hearing and I had realized something was worrying you se riously. Vour father is all right now, isn't he?" "Yes. thank you." "I'm very clad." He took both her hands in his, looked down at her with a quiet little smile. "And if there is anything I can do at any time to be of service to you, please do not hesitate to ask." "Why that's very nice of you, Henri. I don't think there is" "You promise me to let me know if you are ever in need of help?" he persisted, bending his head toward her a little. Stephanie shrugged. "Certainly Til promise. It's very nice of you to offer." "My dear. It Is the least a friend can do. I know what it means to have someone you love dearly in danger of his life. I hope your fa ther returns soon." He shook hit head thoughtfully. "Firing a boat load of nitrates is dangerous busi. ness, 1 should say." Reluctant to discuss details with Henri, she was glad when ht finally said goodnight Te at conUnorri fathered by a group led by Price Administrator Leon Henderson and Marriner S. Eccles, chair man of the federal reserve board. who reportedly favor not only a much stlffer tax program but a simultaneous assault on all im portant inflationary factors as well. This would mean freer ing of nearly all wages and prices, compulsory war bond purchases, profit limitations and general retail credit controls. Britain to Boost Tax on Luxuries London. April 15. An nouncing a record war budget of IS.286,000.000 ($21,144,000, 000) for 1942-43. Sir Klngsley nooa, cnancellor of the ex chequer, called on the already neavny tax-burdened British na tion today to pay additional levies on beer, whisky and lux ury items to raise the money needed to right the war. The budget he presented to the home of commons, also pro posed higher taxes on wines, tobacco and entertainment. McNary Unable to Campaign at Home Salem. April 15 T) Sena tor Charles L.
