But Oad wai atill in Triton wres

would. If they heard the story, be
too frightened to be of any help.
Ever aince Pearl Harbor. Aunt
AHiaon had been mournfully aure
that they would all be murdered
In their bed a.
It left only Henri de la Pagerle.
At ft rat Stephanie dismissed that
Idea aa Impossible. But a moment
later, brought it back for a sec
ond consideration. Henri had
some strange secret Of that she
was sure. That it concerned fifth
column activity she only guessed
But if he were doing intelligence
work, it would naturally be for
the Belgian government. Hadn't
he been attached to the consulate
here? Of course he would be
valuable aa a secret agent Per
haps even the Millers, too. were
doing some special ob of spying.
Using their hordes of Japaneae
servants as a blind or a decoy.
Stephanie sat bold upright.
Why hadn't she figured -that one
out before? Of course. And Hen
ri's strange Interest in things con
cerning Pacific Coast defense was
only natural.
She called him the next morn
ing at the expensive club where
he lived.
"Henri, I must sea you Just aa
soon aa possible." she said ' as
anon aa ahe recognized his voice.
"It's something important'
"But of course, Stephanie. Sup
pose we have luncheon together.
Would the Palace Hotel be a con

"All right. At twelve sharp. IT!

But the morning was Jam-

ocating relativea of refugees,
finding clothing for mothers who
had been obliged to leave the la
lands en half an hour'a notice
- and with nothing more than the
clothes they wore, moving little
broken families to comfortable
quarters.
It waa a few minutes after
twelve when Stephanie finally
threaded her way through the
crowded lobby of the famous old
hotel. Henri, tall, darkly distinguished-looking
even In this
crowd of smart San Franelaeans,
waa waiting for her.
He am ilea as she moved toward
blm. "But this is a very pleasant
surprise," he said.
"Thanks. A surprise, perhaps,
but" she smiled a little wryly,
"my news Isn't too pleasant"
Over a delicious crab salad.

"T IU, of course, la heart-broken."

Henri listened gravely, his face
betraying no definite trace of bis

"I would have taken it directly

at the prospect of becoming in

right Time enough to notify the
Federal agents when we have
some real evidence." He smiled
slowly. "For all we know, the boy
may have been trying to break
off his friendship with vour little

a young man to 'disappear for

Stephanie shrugged. Tm quite

Central Point Grange
Last meeting of Central Point

Master A. T. Lathrop presiding.
Mr. and Mrs. Victor Birdsey and
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tonn were
voted to become members.
Visitors were Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Conger, Mr. and Mrs.
Arnold, of Jacksonville Grange,
and Harry Biery of Rebel Flat
Grange at Diamond, Wash.
An agriculture auction sale to
substitute for fair exhibits was
sura this Is no ordinary holiday
for Ha ami I Unfortunately, Liu
never aaw the 'gentleman' whi
accosted Hajami on the campus.
It would be simpler. 1 suppose if
she could actually be a witness.
But the agent waa careful alwaya
to see Hajami when he was
alone."
"Of course."
"However. Liu haa a fairly
good description of the man from
Hajami."
Henri's eyebrows lifted slightly.
"So? That ahould be a help.
' Then you will you can help
us, Henri?" Stephanie asked fi
nally. . He smiled, patted her hand. "I
am not aure there is much I can
do. You realize it is a very diffi
cult matter thia trying to locate
your young Hajami. I shall cer
tainly do my best"
Henri beckoned to the waiter.
"I am honored by your confi
dence, Stephanie. And now please
put the whole concern out of your
mind. 1 will advise vou as soon
as I discover anything."
As thev moved out of the big,
crowded lining room, Stephanie
tucked her hand under his arm.
"Thanks a lot Henri. It's certainly
a load off my mind."
"Can I drive vou somewhere?"
he asked when they reached the
big revolving doors to the atreet.
No. thank vou. 1 have the sta
tion wagon and" she felt a lit
tle flush of excitement creep into
her cheeks, "and an Important er
rand. See you soon." And slipped
out Into the swift-flowing stream
of traffic.
Rebuff
AN IMPORTANT errand, all
right ahe told herself aa she
turned into Mission street and
minutes later, rolled between the
Iron gates of a hospital.
"Miss Merrill to see Captain
Knudsen," she said crisply to the
nurse on duty at the desk, and
hoped her own uniform might
give unspoken excuse for her
call.
The nurse turned to a switch
board, plugged a number, re
peated Stephanie's message. In a
moment, she turned to her, shak
ing her head.
''I'm sorry. Captain Knudsen la
not allowed visitors."
"Why?" Stephanie asked with,
out thinking. ''Is he so very ill?"
The nurse smiled quietly. "He
la doing aa well as could be ex
pected
"But what la the matter? Where
was he Injured? Will he recover?
Is it " Stephanie'a questions
tumbled out before she could
stop them.
I'm sorry. We are not allowed
to discuss the patients."
"Of course. Well-thank you."
Blindly, Stephanie made her way
across the cool, dark foyer, out
into the blinding sunlight of the
December day. She shouldn't
have hoped to see him. She might
have known they would not per
mit It. She might have known,
too, that ahe would never learn
his real condition from the smil
ing, discreetly obedient nurses.
But she had to know. Why he
might die the thought stabbed
her and she would never know
Who would tell her? Who would
even suppose she wanteu to know
much less had any right to
know?
She crawled back Into the
wagon, buried her face in her
hands a moment until she could
check the hot tears that pressed
suddenly at the corners of her
eyes. Tears of disappointment
tears of sudden oainful knowl
edge that ahe had no right to de
mand to aee Kurt. Kurt himself
would be the last to think so
Hadn't his "goodbye" been in
tended to close a door, lock It,
throw away the key?
She lerked her head erect
blinked hard. But vou couldn't
shut doors on things and pretend
they didn't exist. She loved Kurt

Executive Speaks at Rotary
Luncheon Meeting
Defense Problems Cited.
If America, now united in
purpose and in objectives, can
achieve an effective working
unity victory in this war will
be hastened.
This was the assurance given
to representative business and
professional men of this city at
a Rotary club-sponsored lun
cheon meeting Tuesday at the
Hotel Medford. Among dis
tinguished guests were Dean
DeBach of Oregon State col
lege. Col. G. C. Ferch, command
ant of Camp White and Col.
Frank H. Mallory, camp execu
tive and public relations officer.
With the defense of the west
coast of paramount interest to
day. Governor Sprague devoted
much of his address to a dis
cussion of problems and report
of accomplishments in this field.
The Jackson county civilian de
fense council was lauded for
efficient handling of wartime
problems in this area and tri
bute was paid to citizens here
for their recognition of the pre
sent emergency and willingness
to extend full cooperation to
county and state defense of
ficials. Work Recognised
The civilian defense organiza
tion of this state is recognized
throughout the nation for its ef
ficient operation, the governor
said. This activity has provided
a channel for the flow of patri
otic energy and has put this
energy to good use, he reminded
his audience. Oregon was the
first state to initiate the enroll
ment of civilians for defense
service and this enrollment was
Invaluable in expediting the
wartime defense plan in Ore
gon. Governor Sprague called at
tention to the fact that Oregon's
home guard, comprising 12 rifle
companies and other special
units, has similar character to
the former national guard or
ganization. Unlike the defense
set-up in California, where state
guard members are used for
guarding bridges and factories.
Oregon relies upon state police
for this important work. Wash
ington, too, follows the Oregon
plan which has been based upon
the British home defense system,
this policy contributing both to
economy and efficiency.
Get Industry Share
Oregon is getting her full
share of war industries. Gover
nor Sprague reminded the gath
ering. Shipbuilding and similar
war activities now employ 40,-
000 men and the imminent mo
bilization of labor needed will
undoubtedly bring this number
to 120,000 before the year is
out, he predicted. Not one day
has been lost in labor squabbles
and strikes, due to the high
qualities of labor leadership in
this state and the fair attitude
of management and the public.
One of the great problems
facing Oregon today Is transpor
tation and Governor Sprague as
sured the people of this area
that every effort is being made
to liberalize gasoline supplies

wooden barges for the transpor

has been suggested as a means
of increasing supplies to the
northwest.
"The adminlitr atlon has
sought to relax state barriers
here in the hope of improving
the critical transportation situa
tion In Oregon and the north
west," he said.
Forest Problems Told
The state's forestry problems,
which seeks to protect and re
new forests and reserve areas
for state parks, was explained
by Governor Sprague. Steps,
which have been taken to pre
serve economic values of the
great forests of Oregon, embrac
ing one half of the area of the
state, were cited and the Keep
Oregon Green organization was
praised for its constructive
work. A warning was given
that enemy planes might at
tempt to penetrate the defenses
of the coast and sow incendiary
bombs on summer-dry forests.
In his preliminary remarks.
Governor Sprague reported to
the "state's stockholders" here
upon the condition of Oregon's
finances. The state is in a
healthy financial shape, he told

AMAZING METAL
A'ur- common elemant known only oxygen and silicon, both non-
metallic, are mora commonl T reason that the light metal is at such a premium is the diffi
culty with w..ic.i .. .. .rom its ores. Aluminum is never found native, although it is
a large constituent of all r--1-- 'xcept those of sedimentary formation, and is found in the form
of oxide, fluoride, phosphate, sil rate, sulphate, and so on. The most important ore, and that
from which the whole commercial supply is produced, is known as bauxite. Aluminum is sep
