At The Bridge
"CTEVIE, darlinf. I'm folng to
J Join the Red Cross," Vicky
announced at the break fait table
the next morning. "Do you tup
pose I'll get one of those snappy
uniforms like you wear?"
Stephanie smiled at her cousin.
"You can have your uniform
tailored at Chez Monteull if you
want to pay the price."
"That's a marvelous Idea. I
think I will. And iff going to be
such fun really doing something "
But by the end of the week,
Vicky had decided it wasn't fun
at all to spend tedious hours
making sandwiches, packing them.
"Mountains of them, Ie
made," she groaned. "1 certainly
didn't expect to spend my time
slicing cheese and baloney. If I
never see another sandwich, I'll
be perfectly happy."
Stephanie shook her head.
"Somebody has to do It. Look, we
still haven't enough fTr the 10
o'clock canteen." And she at
tacked another stack of bread
vigorously.
The door behind her opened
and Vicky, drooping in a cnair,
suddenly came to life.
"Why. Henri, darling. What
aver are vou doinc here?"
Stephanie glanced up, noticed
for the dozenth time how very
good-looking Henri was.
"I am lookina for two charm
Ing young ladies who, I hope, will
have dinner with me," he said
looking from one to the other.
"What a break!" Vicky Jumped
up, straightened her very smartly
tailored coat, "Of coufse we'll

But Stephanie shook her head.
"Can't, Henri. Too much to do
here.
"Oh come now," he urged.
"Surely you can't be expected to
work all the time."
' "I should say not Don't be
grudge, sieve, tome on.
But Stephanie insisted and a
moment later they were off, Vicky
clinging to Henri a arm, sparkling
with more enthusiasm than she
had shown all week.
She forgot about them for the
next few busy hours. And at ten
when it was time to take out the
canteen, she drove the station
wagon herself up a back street
to Van Ness, north to the bridge
approach.
She stopped the car at the
point beyond which civilians
were forbidden to go, blinked her
lights by way of signal to the
sentry, while she waited, she re
laxed, resting her head wearily
against the steering wheel. She
wished the sentry would hurry.
In a few moments she blinked
the car lights again. Still no re
sponse. Finally, she honked the
horn, two short, sharp blasts.
Again, no answer.
Tragedy
INSTANTLY, apprehension took
hold of her. Something was
wrong. There was a sentry on
duty here all hours of the day
and night. Besides, he would be
expecting her.
She stepped quickly out of the
ear and, quite well aware that
she was on forbidden ground,
ran up the embankment to the
wide cement bulwark that held
back the black, sucking waters of
the bay. She could hear the slosh,
slosh of the water but the thick
curtain of fog shut off vision of
everything save the narrow walk
under her feet She shuddered,
realizing that it would take only
one misstep to plunge her into
icy water. Then suddenly a gust
of wind from the ocean pushed
back part of the fog for an in
stant Before the thick cloud
closed in again, Stephanie saw
or thought she saw a small boat.
But it disappeared again before
she could be sure.
"Halloa therel It's the canteen!"
aha called, moving cautiously
along the cement wall.
Fear dogged her every step and
her heart hammered thunderous
ly. When, a moment later, she

The report also shows that

bumped squarely Into a khaki- !
clad figure, she cried out
"What are you doing here?" a
deep voice demanded sharply.
"I'm the Red Cross driver. 1
Brought the canteen. But there i
wasn t any sentry. He didn't " 1
The soldier grasped her arm,
guided her back along the wall.
"No senryl That's impossible."
But it wasn't impossible. When
he turned the beam of his pow
erful flashlight down onto tha
black water below them, they
saw why. In the shallow water,
half-submerged, lay the body of
a man face down, moving only
with the steady pulse of the rip
ples. They sounded the alarm, then,
and the thick fog, gave up dozens
of soldiers and, finally the sinis
ter discovery that the soldier
who had only a few minutes be
fore taken up hit post had
drowned in lesa than three feet
of water!
But how could he) Stephanie,
horrified, realized she would nev
er forget the sight of that limp,
dripping form lifted out of the
sticky biack mud.
"Keep your mouth thut about
this," a soldier advised her aa ht
helped her back to the station
wagon. "Probably an accident
But if It wasn't" he finished
with a shruj.
"But how If he'd fallen ofl
the wall, wouldn't he have called
for help?"
"Probably. But you Just forget
abut the whole thing.''
Slip Of The Tongue
EVEN by the time she got home
Stephanie was still trembling
unnerved by the shock. When,
stepping Into the wide hall, sht
heard volets in the living room,
she was tempted to fly to ber
own room.
But Vicky had heard her come
In.
"HI, Stevle darling, come In."
And as Stephanie pulled off her
gloves, walked toward the cheery
Are burning on the hearth where
Henri and Vicky sat enjoying the
warmth and a tall drink, she sud
denly hated them both. For pro
ceeding with "pleasure as usual"
when there was great work to be
done, when the life of their na
tion was at stake, when young
soldier boys lost their lives in
mysterious, awful tragedy.
"Goodness, darling, you look
exhausted," Vicky said carelessly.
""Fatigue, and fright and angel
cut the check reins on Stephanie's
temper. "I am exhausted," she
snapped. "Maybe if you'd Just
seen what 1 saw. you too wouldn't
be so damnably indifferent"
And before she realized what
she was doing, she was pouring
out details of the awful secret
the bay had offered up.
"At the approach to the Golden
Gate Bridge, vou say?" Henri
questioned her sharply.
And too late, Stephanie re
membered the soldier's grufl
warning to "keep her mouth shul
about this" Too late, she recog
nized more than average Interest
in Henri's attitude.
"It was ghastly," she went on,
more calmly, trying hard to dis
guise her discovery with a dis
arming smile. "But an accident
no doubt.. Sorry if 1 snapped at
you. I'm lust upset, I guess "
"But of course, darling," Vicky
sympathized "Who wouldn't be?
Let's talk of something pleasant
Like the party at Millers' to
night" And for the next half hour,
Vicky painted brilliant word dic-
iures of the charming Millers,
their distinguished guests, theii
deep devotion to Henri and to
their charming neighbor.
"It's a pity you didn't coma
with us," Vicky said finally.
A pity Indeed. Stephanie agreed
silently, studying the profile
Henri turned to her as he sat
staring into the fire apparently
engrossed in his own thoughts.
bhe might then have been bet
ter able to discover Just what
Henri's secret was.

NEED INSTRUCTORS
Registered nurses In Jackson
county who are willing to don
ate their time in teaching
classes in home nursing in the
rural areas of the county are
asked to contact the Red Cross
office in the county court house
Mrs. Henry Padgham, chairman
of the home nursing committee
in the county, said that it is
hoped nurses may be found In
various areas throughout the
county as Red Cross wishes to
offer this instruction to mothers
in the most remote parts of the
county.
It is extremely difficult to
find nurses who are free from
duties of their profession at this
time, Mrs. PadLiham said. Each
course takes 3u hours and if a
nurse could teach, but docs not
have transportation she is asked
to turn her name into the office
anyway. Nurses who could give
their time in the evening or af
ternoon are asked to also reg
ister immediately and specify
the most convenient teaching
time.
