De- borah tries to change the trend of the conversation but even building a fire brings Stephan's thoughts back to war. His father commanded a sea raider in 1914. The bell rings. Deborah opens the door to a stocky man, who addresses Stephan in German. "You should not have come •here, Wilhelm," Stephan replies. a• s• HATE OR LOVE CHAPTER VIII For a moment, as Stephan calve forward, Deborah caught her first real glimpse of the man she had only half suspected be- neath the boy with whom she had allayed—an older man, a little hard • .perhaps a little ruthless. "But it was necessary to come, Excellency," the little man hur- ried on before Stephan could stop him. "You, yourself, would have been angry not to know. It is to be earlier than we thought. A fishing boat will slip you out through the fog. The Coast ' Guard—" "Enough!" Stephan interrupted sternly. "Wait here. We will talk.... I am sorry." He turned eo Deborah, speaking again in English. "He is -an old family servant—Wilhelin, I must talk with him, if yon will forgive me." "Surely. Ask him to come in." "Thank you; but we shall do very well walking about outside." Already he had found his coat in the closet where Bridgie had hung it, and was shrugging into it. In those brief sentences he had gone away again—pleasantly, courteously as always, but very finally behind his wall. With crisp finality he stepped out into the night and closed the door. Deborah stood, straining her eyes to follow him through the glass of the door; but a few steps down the walk, his white raincoat and fair head were completely engulfed in the mist. As if an unpleasantly clammy head had brushed her face, Deborah shiv- ered. . . . hiesered.... So it had come then— that tini.e she had always felt must come some day. Confused impressions raced through her memory: "They do be sayin' that the crew of a schooner that run hi out of the fog tells ox sightin' wan of thim furrin fight - in' ships, slculkin' around off the E. C U T Founded by the late A. E. Cross in 1895, the A -Seven Ranch near Nanton, Alberta, is famous to this dayforthe high-grade grass- fed beef cattle which the ranch raises and ships all over Canada. BRAND OF THE A -SEVEN RANCH coast," Bridgie had said. . • Stephan's startled absorption in the messages the Coast Guard cutters were flashing out. Could he read them? If so, what about them had disturbed him so much? And now that strange, breath- less little forgeiner: "A fishing boat will slip you out through the fog—" Slip him out—to what? ... For what purpose? It seemed like hours—it was perhaps 15 minutes before Steph- an opened the front door, hung his raincoat in the closet, and came slowly into the living room, He was pale, and more grave than Deborah had ever seen him. For a moment he stood silent, looking into the fire, his eyes wide and absent, as if, it seemed to De- borah, he was seeing for the first time with complete clarity some- thing he had always known, but had never quite recognized before for what it really was. Finally he said without looking up, "You heard? . . . I am not sure how much you understood." "Enough," Deborah said, "And not enough." "So? ... And the devil of it is that I cannot explain. I can only say that I did not plan it this way. I am torn between wanting to kick myself for coming here at all, and unhappiness that I shall have so little time with you." "But if you must go," Deborah cried, "why not go openly, as hundreds of others have done. I could understand that. Why slip out through the fog? And what have the Coast Guard cutters to do with it?. Unless it's you that submarine the fishermen saw off the coast is waiting for—un- less they meed information that you can give thele?" For^an instant he stared at her incredulously. Then he gave a short, entirely umnirthful,, laugh. "Then that's what you believe!" he said. "I never dreamed that you, too, felt this way about me —that you could ]late me this way." a v, Hate Stephan! But that was preposterous, when all that she really knew about him was kind and honorable and generous. "Stephan," s h e stammered wretchedly, "I — I don't know what to believe except that I am confused—and a little frighten- ed. . . Believe me, it was not what I wanted—to have it end this way. Yet it was bound to come to the surface sooner or later—all that I have never un- derstood about you; all that you did not want me to understand. It must be better this way than to leave it—just .drifting there— like a half -submerged, frightening thing one tries to pretend isn't real." "Perhaps," he said gently after a while, "we should have talked more—like this, I mean—at 'first, But it was so pleasant—just to have fun. Before long, I kept telling myself, perhaps I shall not have any more time to play.. - All the way up the Cape I thought over the things I wanted to say to you. Then I remembered all the things I must not say to you." DISLIKE WASHING DIRTY HANDKERCHIEFS? SINGLE TISSI110S i lOc Here's freedom from your most unpleasant task. .

They had been talking across the room, as if neither quite dared to cross the intervening space. Now almost unwillingly it seemed, he came and stood over her where she leaned, half supporting her- self on the table behind her. "Believing what you do, can it matter to you—that I must go ?" he asked. "You. know it does.... I think you even know how much." For an instant she was sure from the racing of her own blood that he was going to touch her. When he did not, but continued to stand there, his arms stiffly at his sides, his eyes gravely searching hers, she faltered, "You said, a little while ago, Stephan, that there were things you want- ed to say to mel' "And you knew what I meant. You have known, almost from the beginning, I thin." "Then, if we both understand, how can there be anything you must not say to me, Stephan?" "Because," he said somberly, "for more time than I can look ahead, my life may be bound up with intrigue and violence. . . And you were not meant for a life like that, my dear." "How can you be so sure?" De- borah's fingers tightened on the edge of the table so that it quiv- ered with her own trembling. "Through seven wars since my family came to this country alone —not to speak of Indian uprisings —the Lovett women. have seen a good deal of fighting and vio- lence." "If it were only that—but tl':e thing I am doing could, so very easily end in what many people might call disgrace." "However it ends," Deborah said steadily, "I shall know that nothing you do can be disgraceful, Stephan." And suddenly he sinew that she was speaking the truth. With an inarticulate sound that was half exultant laughter and half protest, he took her into his arms. "But there is so little time," he repeated. "And before I go, there are some things, at least, that you have a right to know." "There is so much I want to know. . e Oh, Stephan, I really know so little about you!" "And there is still a great deal I cannot tell you. But you must understand enough so that if you read in the papers—I mean if what I ani trying to do goes wrong, you won't have to think the worst."
