DANGER SIGNALS
CHAPTER X
WfHHJS I was standing outside
Yu Chen's chop house a few
minutes ago," Angela hurried on.
"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.
