Wait ing (or some friends who have promised to take me on a little yachting trip up the Bay." Stephanie glanced over his shoulder to the smelly little fish ing boat. "Not in that?" "Oh. no." Henri laughed too. '1 was just curious to see what a fishing boat looks like. 1 was about to ask that worthy seaman if I might have a look around hit craft" "Well, you've more eurlotlty than sense of smell, I tee," and then she suddenly became aware that her father stood in stony si lence. "Daddy, you remember Henri de la Pagerie, don't you?" Guy Merrill b wed ttiffly. "I re. member Mr. Pagerie very well." But no creatine. He didn't even offer to thake hands. Embarrassed, Stephanie flushed, murmured. "Nice to have seen you. Henri We must run along. Daddy's had an accident to hit arm." "So I noticed. I am very torry, !r. Nothine terioua 1 hoDe." Stili her father only shook his bead coldly. "No it was Just a burn. You aee there wat an explosion at" "Come along Stephanie," her father interrupted curtly, "Good afternoon, sir. And then before the could lay more, he hurried her along the dock and away from Henri. "Goodbye." the called trying to cover her confusion with a little laugh. "See you later." Henri smiled, nodded. "I hope vou won't,' Guy Mer rill said gruffly. "Hone I won't what?" "See that bounder again. I don't like him. "So I noticed," she tald curtly. "I don't know why you choose to be rude to him. Daddy." He climbed into the car after her. slammed the door viciously. "I don't know either. Don't like his looks. Too smooth. Besides. I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before and the associated impres sion isn't good." "You couldn't have met him. Daddv. You're mistaken and prob ably prejudiced because he has The "Accident" "VOU'RE damned right I'm pre) udiced." Guy braced himself cautiously as Stephanie - turned the car off the Embarcadero and up a step hilL "If you like him, that's your business. But you needn't expect me to be pais with a bird like that." Stephanie laughed. "Daddy, you're being an old woman. Just because Henri's different from the boys I've known and" "Different is putting it mildly." Then he -eyed her quizzically. "How come you're putting up such a fight for this foreigner?" Stephanie hesitated. Why was the? ''Well he's a good friend of Vicky's. Aunt Allison likes him" "She would! Al alwava did fall for that kind of stuff," her brother muttered. "And he's been very nice to me." "All right, but nice or not, I want you to be careful what In formation you hand him. He may be harmless at a gadfly, but he'a not to knew what goes on up at Titan. Understand? "Yet, Daddy. I'm torry. I Just forgot for the moment that "Well, after th' you remember It every moment, her father taid sternly. "The 'accident' up there today was only an accident Insofar as I happened to stumble onto it in time. "What do you mean?" "I mean that someone doesn't know the exact layout of the plant by accident I mean that someone doesn't plant oil-soaked rags at vital centera by accidentl If 1 hadn't happened to go back to the office to finish up some work this mornins instead of takina the Sunday off to go fishing at I usual. ly do, that nre would nave gotten a beautiful start before anyone discovered it. And the resultant explosion would have wiped Titan completely off the map. "But now they'll be back too try again, won't they, Daddy?" "Certainly." Guy winced as Stephanie turned the ear sharply into their drive, stopped under the porte cochere. "But next time they'll be dealing with the FBI." "Oh. I'm so glad you Anally re ported it 1 wish you had long ago." "So do L" Turning, .he looked out across the harbor. "Beautiful spot, this. Always glad to get back to it." Stephanie nodded, sharing hit feeling. Then as she started up the steps, the sound of a lawn mower on the other tide of the hedge brought her up short "Seems as if we have neighbors again," her father observed, an swering her own thought Then she noticed that the ram bling old mansion next door, de serted since the crash of '29 had ruined old Mr. Stone, had cur tains at its wide windowt again And, at a dust cloth fluttered from an upstairs window, a little Japanese maid to fight the cob webs. Two Japanese maids, the added a moment later as a second little brown face peeped from a window. "Glad they are doing something about that garden." Guy Merrill approved as he stamped up the steps. "It'll take a couple of good Jap gardeners to turn that wilder ness into anything like what it wat in Stone's day." Too Many Gardeners STEPHANIE .taw the gardeners then. Pruning the flowering almond trees ruthlessly. Strange gardeners, thosel Old Tsang, anxious when he saw his beloved Mister Guy was injured, shook his head dolor-' ously "Devil pretty busy today," he muttered. Guy laughed around a grimace as Tsang helped him out of hit coat. "The Devil certainly had something to do with my getting this infernal burn You're right about that Tsang. What's he been doing for you. today?" Old Tsang didn't smile. "Devil give me Japanese gardeners right under my kitchen window. Big nous- next door now full of Japa. nese. That bad sign for good Chinaman." Stephanie laughed "Oh. Tsang You and your signs. The garden ers won't bother you. And surely the new tenants aren't Japanese too?" "No White. But not much good They make ta'k sounds like man) pigs Not good." "Poor Tsang," Guy grinned stretched out nn ihe old sofa in the library. "Got your troubles, haven't you?" But the old Chinaman would not be cheered. "Much troubles My ton's girl-child bring dis grace now." "Not nretty little Frosted Wil lows?" Stephanie asked, remem. bering the little Chinese girl whe had enme sometimes to visit hei grandfather. Tsang nodded. "My son send her to the big school. That bad." "The University? But why? She's a smart girl." "Not smart. She make frlendi with Japanese boy." Old Tsani shook his head, scowling. "Thai verv bad." "But after all. If he's a nice Japanese boy," Stephanie sug gested. Tsang drew himself up proudly "Wong Liu Tsong my grand daughter. She Chinese girl. Guy sighed wearily, propped his injured arm against a cushion "Poor old Tsang The Devil hai been at work today, all right." Stephanie smiled too but some, where in her mind that thought caught on a snag.
