Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWELVE Chapter Seven Newt From Kurt THS loft like room in the tall Market Street office building waj practically deserted by noon time. Except for Stephanie and the woman in charee of her divi- aion in the Motor Corp, only a few of the Red Croat workera sorted stacks of cloth inn and yam on the rough wooden tables. A boat loaded with supplies for England had left only an hour ago. And biepname, exhausted with the frenzied activities of the mom ing, sagged wearily in her chair. "Darling." a familiar voice In the doorway, "you look simply deflated!" Stephanie glanced up with a tired smile. "Hello, Vicky." Then wryly, "And you look simply de vastating. New suit?" "Heavens no. It's ancient I'm on a shopping tour right now. Come have lunch with me and help me decide about an adorable bat at Mum s." Automatically. Stephanie shook her head. "Sorry, I" Then she changed her mind. Why not? There'd be nothing doing here at Headquarters for a few davs now. Besides, she was tired of being the drudge. "All right. I Ul. The St Francis was aswarm with pretty women, buzzing like a giant bee-hive. Many of the workers In uniform like herself. The others in smart suits and sables. "You know, Vicky said when the headwaiter had found them a table, "I have the most thrilling news. From Kurt! Stephanie felt her heart leap to attention. "Yes?" "Oh, he's done the most thril ling thing. That order he got out at the Club Sunday was about a secret flight to San Diego. It seems the F.B.I, got wind of some plot to bomb some airplane factories and planes from Larayette Held were sent down to do some scout ing. And who do you suppose actually located the enemy planes?" Stephanie forced calm, "Kurt of course." "Isn't he simply unbelievable! He'll probably be promoted to major now or something wonder ful and of course to hear him tell about it, you'd think he'd done absolutely nothing." Vicky stopped to light a cigar ette, let her glance wander with deceptive carelessness about the crowded dining room. Grateful for the moment In which to re gain coolness, Stephanie finally managed. "Then you've seen him?" Invitation nCKY nodded. "I Just happened to be in the garage in Peralta and I heard someone asking about vour car. I had no idea it was Kurt until I went in to see what was what By the way. you didn't mention naving naa an acciaem. Stephanie flushed. "It was noth lng. Just a dented fender."

"Us? Are you sure I'm includ ed," Stephanie asked and wished she could find courage to rclu.se. It would only be asking for mis ery. "Of course. He mentioned you especially. And Henri can drive you up, she explained enthusi astically. "Kvrrylliing just works out beautifully. "I see. Well. I'm not sure I ' "Oh. you must come.

"I know you are anxious to see your father, Stephanie," Henri was saying in his precise English. "1 hoped that perhaps you would let me motor you to Peralta by way of Titan. We could leave ear ly on Saturday afternoon." "Oh. Henri, I would like to do that," she said warmly. He was a nice person, really. But when they arrived at het father's office Saturday afternoon Stephanie wasn't so sure surpris ing him had been a really good idea. He was very busy, his sec retary said. He would be free in about an hour if they cared to wait. "Of course we will wait" Henri insisted. "We have plenty of time. Suppose we just look around the plsnt here." Stephanie had been over the plant dozens of times with hex father, and she proved an excel lent guide. Not that she could an swer all the questions Henri could ask. For a diplomat he seemed to know an amazing lot about ex- filosives, she told him once, laugh ng. "I've always been fascinated by the subject he explained smil ing. "As a boy, I wanted to be scientist, but he shrugged elo quently," my parents had decid ed on the diplomatic career." Cool Greeting "I THINK this Is about as far at 1 we should go," she said Anal ly. "That row of buildings there, most of them practically under ground, is where they store th dynamite. Dad never lets anyona near them without his permis sion." "Your father must be very effi cient I consider it a privilege to have this opportunity to meet him." Stephanie, glanced at him, saw Instantly that she had not been mistaken about the strange eager ness in his voice. It was written into his expression, a sort of tenst excitement Then Henri felt hei glance, turned smiling toward hei and the tension was gone. "There's Dad now," and sh nodded toward him, walking along the wharf toward them, a battered felt dragged over one eye, his head tilted against the stiff wind blustering in off th Bay. He waved, smiled as he recog nized her. "Hello, chicken. How did you get here?" "Henri drove me up," shi smiled, turning to the tall mar beside her. "Daddy this is Henr! de la Pagerle." Guy Merrill's smile gradual!) dissolved as he turned to th( younger man. For an Instant Ste phanie had the appalling notiot that her father was not going tc shake hands with Henri. Then, ol course he did But there was nc heartiness in his "Glad to meet vou. sir." "The honor Is mine. Mr. Mer rill," Henri said in his atiffesi foreign manner. Aware that something was ter rlbly wrong and quite in the dar) as to what it might be, Stephanli tried to bridge the awkward mo men! with chatter. "We're on our way to part) at Peralta. Daddy. A friend ol Vicky's has Invited us to dinnel at the OITIcera' Club. We've just been looking around your ole plant while we were waiting." "So I sec," he said with curt ness so unlike him that Stephanii stared at him, puzzled, even irri tated that he should act this way "Are vou all riRht, Daddy?" sh asked, still trying to put thi puzzle together. "Certainly I'm all right. Now you run along to your party." "Why Daddy!" "I'll be home in a few days. Go slong now. Skip." He dismissed her with a ghost of his old smile. "I'm sorry," she apologized as Henri put her Into his car. "Dad is so terribly worried, I guess." "Please do not mention It," Henri begged. "I understand per fectly."
