"Henri's one of the nicest men I've ever met All your silly suspicions about plots and in trigues is just so much rot. Hen ri's a gentleman. "Maybe you're right," Stepha ale sighed wearily. "I hope so." "Certainly, I am. Now get some leep and .stop thinking up wild notions." Stephanie did sleep, but only because she was utterly exhaust ad. But anxiety was right there the next morning ready to take bold of her every thought A dozen times she was tempted to telephone her father at Titan. But every time she picked up the phone, she put it back before the operator responded. Dad already had enough to worry him. Unlets he had something definite to re port no use bothering mm more. Then at six o'clock, just as she was ready to leave Headquarters, he got orders to report down it the wharf immediately. "Two transDorti from the Is lands are coming In," her superior Informed he. curtly. "You'll help with the refugee women and chil dren. Take them to Travellers Aid and Big Sisters until we find further accommodations." She backed the big station wagon up to the curb in front of Pier 71 and climbed out As she did. the mounting wail of a siren howled over the city. Stephanie shuddered. That uncanny scream jeemed more terrifying than the blackout which followed almost Immediately. She stood, watching the lights blot out wondering why the darkness that flooded ever the citv seemed so ominous. Eyes growing accustomed to the lark, the made her way to the big door of the huge Duiming out along the Dier. As the stood trying to see which way to go through the cavernous snaaows inside, someone toucnea ner arm. "You're from the Red Cross?" . Then at the nodded, "Okav. Follow me." Her guide,' tall soldier, led her the length of the building to the yawning opening at the end where she could sea the waters of the bay silvered under . rising moon. A group of men and wo men In uniform waited there and Stephanie caught from them in stantly the taut excitement of the moment Towering high betide the pier, the transport loomed like a ghost-ship, so dark, to si lent save for the tortured whine of scraping pilings, the rattle of chain at the gang plank was lowered into place. Wounded First!" TTERE they come," someone said a moment later as dim figures separated themtelvet from the shrouding shadows on the deck, started down the steep walk. "Wounded soldiers first." Pressing close to the railing, Stephanie tried vainly to recog nize a face, a tall, blond-headed figure. But the waxy faces of the injured men lying so terrioiy till on the stretchers were none et them familiar. She could hear the orderlies cursing at, once in side the big warehouse, they tumbled In the dark. And an oc casional groan wrested from a wounded man. These wounded must be taken to shelter as fast as It was hu manly possible. And the women and children too. But the long Una of men bear ing stretchers seemed never to end. Slowly, carefully they came out of the ship, were swallowed up In the darkness behind her. Hurry, sha thought frantically, hurry and wondered at the quiet calm of the tight-lipped officer wno stood at ine 1001 01 me gang clank checking ambulance num ben against a list in his hand.

"Take vour station wagon to Pier 59. fell them there that we need more ambulances. Hurry." "Yes. sir." SteDhanie fled through the dark warehouse, guided only by the square of moonlight ahead. As she passed stretcher after stretcher, she leu sure inai some where in thit dark shed right now was someone who could tell her about Kurt Maybe Kurt him. self. But she would never know. Only the slimmest possible chance of her seeing him, hearing of him. She stood a moment at the wide doorway to get her bear ings. An ambulance pulled away from the curb gently, easing over the bumpy street slipping away a ihostlv white phantom car in the dark. Then another ambulance another load. "Bring your upquick, sharp voice in her ear. "We're running short These men have gotta be moved fast." "But I" Stephanie started to explain But the orderly had dis appeared. From the darkness be hind her, she heard the slow shuffle of stretcher bearers. Lost? TURNING, she ran to the first big ambulance waiting fifty yards down the street. Slipping under the wheel, she found the ignition key, started the motor. The big car rolled easily along the gutter, moved into place be fore the big Pier entrance. She'd have to teQ someone, of course, that she wasn't a regular driver. She set the hand brake, started to climb out of the car. Already, they were lifting stretcher into the back. Not an easy job, either. The wounded soldier was groaning, muttering something. At Stephanie passed the heard, 'Take it easy, boys. I'm going to pull her out now. Fasten your straps. It's a tailspin, I tell you." Stephanie's heart lept to her throat Kurt's voice. She was sure of it Unless her imagination was playing tricks. From behind the orderly, she peered into the dark tonneau of the big ambulance. But Kurt if it was Kurt didn't speak again. "Okay driver," the orderly called, closing the wide, heavy door. Stephanie hesitated only a sec ond. Then, before common sense could win any arguments, she climbed back under the wheel, slipped the gears, eased the lum bering car gently away from the curb. There'd be plenty of hot water to get out of if anyone discov ered that she and not the regular driver had taken the wheel. But the had to know about Kurt tee him even for a moment Tense, concentrating on the dim, ghostly shadow of the ambulance ahead, Stephanie strove to see through the dark chasms between tall office buildings where even the moonlight didn't penetrate. Then, in spit of her, anxiety conjured up all kinds of horrible pictures. Kurt must be out of hit mind. What terrible thing had happened to him? What suffering lay behind and ahead for him? The car ahead turned, disap peared. Stephanie pressed harder on the accelerator, reached the comer. The streets divided thre ways. Drawing a long breath, she flipped an imaginary coin, turned left. This had to be right she prayed silently. Fate couldn't be so cruel as to make her the In strument of prolonging Kurt'i agony. And perhaps, she realized with a pang, his recovery might actually depend on her now. And delay might make the diflerencs between life and death. Te be continued culture Commissioner J.
