"I happened to overhear Jose; Pastla talking to one of his crew as they passed. I was waiting" Tor Heaven's sake, Angle, this b no time to Indulge In total re call! Never mind what you were watting for. Who Is this Jose Pastla; and what can he possibly have to do with Stephan?" "He's the skipper of a launch that's supposed to be taking Ste phan somewhere tonight. . . . Where to, is all very hush-hush, I gather, but " "Then how do you come to know he was taking Stephan any where?" i "I overheard enough to get that. ; These Portuguese forget that I can ; understand them. I followed Jose and got a little more out of him." : "More of what?" Deborah was; almost frantic with suspense. "Look here, Debby," snapped I Angela, "if you'll give me half a chance, maybe I can get on with: this. ... Jose has information he wouldn't tell me how he got it ! that there's some one hanging! around town who's going to make i It his business to see that Stephan doesn't get away by force, if necessary." I "Why didn't this Jose cornel and warn Stephan, himself?" ' "He was on his way to although ' be didn't seem to think it would do any good. But we decided that since I'm In and out of here all' the time, anyhow, it would be smarter for me to come in case anyone was hovering about watch ing the house." "Watching the house?" De borah echoed faintly. "But who?"i "If Jose knows, he wouldn't telLi I don t think ne does know." "Why hasn't he warned the police?" "He seemed to think that was' the last thing Stephan would want. ... It's my private guess that the parties interested are from the Department of Justice and I suppose I ought to be stood up against a stonewall for meddling." "If you really believe that, why did you come, Angle?" I -Wen," Angle admitted with a grudging grin, "because I can't help liking the guy, I guess. ... I'm-slipping out the back way. If t see anyone skulking around, 111 telephone when I get home. . . . Make) him- listen, Debby. Jose Isnt the kind to go off the deep end for nothing." "Did Jose say Stephan shouldn't try to go?" "Well no," Angle admitted. "He just wanted him to know." a a a VkH-LN Deborah hurried upstairs " to Stephan, he seemed rather elated than otherwise. "So that one has come, too," he said thoughtfully. "Now that; makes it really worth while." j "But, Stephan, you're surely not 1 going? Just before I came up-; stairs, I looked out and there is tome one outside, skulking in the ; shadow of the evergreens." ' j Stephen threw back his head! and laughed. I "What you saw," he said, "was! probably good old Wilhelm. Hei Isn't much to look at, but in a' scrap, he Is something to write; Dome about. . . . Not that I ex pect any trouble," he added hasti ly, catching the terror in her eyes. UThen all at once, in that last few Inutes before he really must go, nil the futile little things that still fcad to be said came flocking in fjpon them. I "You'll write me often, Ste jphan?" I "As often as I can be sure of getting my letters to you in some (thing like their original form. I'm lemre you wouldn't like one that tread just: 'Dearest Deborah jblank-blank-blank. ... Your rdoring Stephan.'" "I should like the 'adoring Ste jphan' very much but oh, my Wear, don't try unless it's entirely Isafe for youl . . . Anyhow, I shall I write every day. I shall be very careful what I say " - i "But that's the worst of it, my Barling. I may not be able to let you know for months where you ean be sure of finding me." I Not even . letters except on those rare occasions when one rnight be slipped through. ... Perhaps not for months. i "Stephan," she said, "that last! bight in California when you did slot come, or even telenhone I (thought, 'It's like having a beaut!-! iui story abruptly cut short, with-' out so much as a 'To Be Contin-' tied.' Now" ; ! "But It has been continued,! hasn't It? And it will go on' as I Pong as we both" he caught i himself up sharply, as if startled! by the Implications of what he had been about to say. "You'll i Isee," he finished. "I'll be backi lalmost before you have time to miss me." a THEN at length ho turned to " pick up his bogs, and she moved, with tear-blinded eyes, to lead the way downstairs, he hes itated, then said swiftly, "Please I nol I should rather remember you here where for a little while we have been happy together. Or jwait I have a better idea." He led her to the window. "Now," he directed, his hands warm upon her shoulders, his lips against her ear, "it you stand just here, in front of the lamp, I shall be able to see you as I drive away. Then I can always think of you that way, and " "Oh, nol Not that way! . . . Not watching you go, Stephan! You must think of me as waiting here for you to come back." "And you must remember every time you think of me that nothing in Heaven or earth can keep me away from you." Then for the priceless moment they had left, they stood, just clinging silently to each other, be cause they could not trust to words all the many tilings that still ached to be said. After he had gone downstairs and out into the night, she con tinued to stand there where he had left her, waving until the rasp of his feet on the gravel had died away. Perhaps, she thought. If the fog has lightened a little, he really can see me. T5UT she stood with tightly closed eyes, because she knew that when, on long nights to come, she startled awake as she must do, perhaps, many times before he came again with the moan of the foghorn in her ears, she must not have to recall seeing him in that last Instant before his gleaming white-coated figure and bngnt head were finally engulfed in the mist Finally, because there seemed to be nothing else to do, Deborah went downstairs to the living room. She had barely seated her self before the dying embers of the fire when the telephone rang sharply In the hall. Angle, Deborah told herself dog gedly as her heart turned over with a sickening thud. She s prob ably seen some innocent citizen stop to fumble for his latch-key, and decided tie s reaching lor a gun. Before aha could get up, the kitchen door opened, and Bridgie, fanning herself with her apron, bustled out and took down the re ceiver. (To Be Continued) OUT OUR WAY By J. R.
