A1! Deborah's supicions have a basis in fact. But she knows she Loves Stephan, admits It to him. She has faith in him, is willing to share his danger. There is still much he oannot tell her. Stephan Explains CHAPTER DC "It's strange, Stephan," Deborah said, "but I think I have always known it would be like this," "Like this? . . . Deborah, dar- ling, don't tremble sol . . . You xuean that we shouldlove each other like this?" "Not that alone. . . . That I should love you, and that I should always have to be afraid for you, Perhaps it was because of the war, and kxmowiu.g you were a Ger- man," "But that's one of the things 1 have to tell you, I'm not really German—that is, my father was; but my another was from Bohemia, and I was born at her home after my father was killed in the last war." "But you let us think—" "It was expedient, at the time. And I was partly educated in Ger- many. I even. served a while in 1.

"But 11 you were a German of- ficer, I can't understand their letting you out of the country at this time." "It's a long story. I had crash- ed in a ski jump, and was in a private hospital in the Swiss Alps when the Nazis went into Czeoho- siovakia . You may imagine how muck I loved Germany after Munich .. , A sympathetic Swiss doctor kept sending reports to headquarters which convinced them that I was still in the hos- pital—perhaps permanently dis- abled. He is %dead; so telling this can't hurt him now. . . In the meantime"—Stephan smiled a little grimly—"I fount work to do else- where." "But how did you get over Here?" * 5 "Suddenly my superiors wrote, suggesting that if I were able to travel, they would arrange for me to spend some time here as a stu- dent. They wanted confidential reports on a German agent here. It suited my own plans so mirac- ulously that I was never quite euro it wasn't a. trap." "I think," Doborah .said slowly, "that I'm beginning to understand a little.. . . . Stephan, what were you doing ou the platform of that Bummcl meeting in San Francisco?" "I hadn't counted on your 200 per cent Americans turning up to break up the meeting. And al i• ere was someone there I wanted to keep an eye on . . . !tow did you ]snow?" ' A.ngie saw the nem%creel of the riot." Stephan shouted with laughter. "Does she miss anything?" he demanded. "There was nue liid- eons moment this evening when 1 wasn't at all sure she hadn't com- pletely found me out. Believe it or not, I drew a deep breath at being taken for only one more very meloclram fic Gorman spy out of a moving picture." Deborah's nails bit into her palms ... So that was it! Words blazed like illuminated signs on the curtain of hem• memory. "I have an idea," Augie had said "that—when you get back— M. Poltergeist, or some other poor devil in the circulation department over there, is going to find himself in a concentration camp -•- or worse." And Stephan had answered, "But after all, he took that risk, did he not? He must have guessed what he was in for," 5N "011, 'Stephan, my darling," she' breathed between tears and laugh- ter, "I should , have guessed at once—from your face wbile Angie was talking—your funny, blandly iinnocent 'dead -pot' face! So that's what you're going hack " to—with all the secret police of the Reicli looking for 'Der Poltergeist'?" "Sweetheart, don't look like that, please! Miss 'Silva to the contrary, I give you my word l have never pinched a policeman In my life --nor thumbed my nose at one—and you've no idea how fast I tan run when. someone's after me," Seeing her white face and qufv. ening .lips, he took her hands and held them against his cheeks. "Besides, I was only one among many. Sinee they've got the idea, the rest have been carrying on very nicely without me." 'Then why must you—?" "Because nay Business an this trip is"— he broke off, bit his Hp, and finished gaily, "Anyhow, it's unbelievable how good you get at crime with a little practice. I often think I could Boake a handsome living pruking pockets." "Bat, yeti .say that doctor who covered up for you is dead. What will hapepn when you turn uP over there again?" x, * "You don't imagine I have,:,any intention of 'turning up' officially, do you? 'You don't suppose they would recognize me disguised as a beautiful American fan dances:, fer instance, do you?" he laughed. "But, darling, you're trembling!" "I don't mean to be a co -Ward, Stephan, but --oh, my dear, don't expect me to think all this Is just —funny!" Then as he glanced at kis watch and the laughter died from his eyes, her fingers tightened oin his arm. "Not yet, Stephan!" she faltered. "Oh, surely not yet?" "Very soon, I am afraid... My plans, you see, are more •or less conditioned by other people, that is" lie frowned as if he had said too much—"ane leaves when the boat goes . .. Deborah, if people come to ask you questions, it 'will be much better for you to know nothing." I must not let hien remember me this way, Deborah ,thought, choking down the team in her throat. Tomorrow will do for this. "I am afraid there will be some of your things to repack. Bridgie" —she-even forced herself to smile —"couldn't bear to have 'the Cap- tain' think we didn't know that guests are unpacked. for .iii the. best circles." Upstairs in his room, she beg- ged, "Let me pack for you, Steph- an. It would be nice to have that to remember—that I had done something for you with my own hands." He dict let her try; but despair made her fingers so clumsy that in the end, tenderly amused at her bungling, he had to take over, packing wtih the deftness of a sea- soned traveler. As he was closing the bag, she went on a sudden impulse over to a glass case where time moat pre - Mons of the Lovett trophies were kept, and coming baric. rut a tar- nished coin into his hand.

Obviously amused and touched, he turned the coin over in his strand*, finely made fingers. "What an n"re,er.erate old tar he must have been!" he smiled. "And you guarantee that if I carry it, I shat] be still swearing round- ly at 110? . . . But shorld you keen on loving me if I were?" "Silly, perlirps, but I'm afraid 1 should. . .. And it would help— to know you had It, Stephan." They started at the sharp rattle of gravel against the window. • 0 * Deborah went to the wimndow and opened it; and Angela Silva spoke softly from the drive below. "Debby!" she called. Then more sharply, "Is that you, Debby? Come down and let Inc in ... Hurry!" When Deborah opened time door, Angela slipped tiro—ugh like a mist - drenched wraith, panting as if she had been rimming. "Is Stephan still here?" she de= Mended on a caught breath. "Yes," Deborah answered, won- dering. "Why Angie?" "Don't let him go out, Debby." Angela caught Deborah's arms in both lauds. "It's dangerous, I just found out—" "Dangerous? . .. What do you mean?" "Debby, you know I'm not half Portuguese for nothing," Angela said.

L. Mackenzie hing told the House of Com -nuns on Jan. 27. Any ambiguity that may have existed in relation to Canada's financial transactions with Brit- ain is thus effectively removed. The billion dollars, it is antic- ipated, will cover Britain's pur- chases in this country until early in 1048. The new arrangement will not increase Canada's financial bur- den, as Canada has already agreed to supply the money for British purchases of supplies. But it "will avoid the growth to huge and un- manageable proportions of a war debt which might breed serious misunderstandings and bitterness in time future." It will also defi- nitely relieve Britain of any finari- cial anxiety in connection with Canadian supplies Mr. King ex- plained. Financial assistance has been extended. to Britain for some time. Britain has paid for a large por- tion of its purchases in this coun- try in sterling exchange, which has been on deposit in London and which cannot. be used in Canada. 1Ytanufacturers and pro- ducers in Canada have been paid for these exports by time Domin- ion Government in Canadian dol- lars, and to cover these payments the: Government has raised money by taxes and loans. In the past the British Govern» went has been paying for a por- tion of its purchases by its exports to Canada, but these are neces- sarily diminishing. Britain has also sold Canadian Government securities held in Britain. It also has interest and dividends re- ceived from Canadian securities owned by Britain. These revenue sources have covered only part of Canada's war exports to the United King- dom and the surplus of sterling in British banks to Canada's credit has been steadily growing. To clarify the situation the Dominion Government has made the suggestion to the British Government that this surplus should be onverted to a loan of $'700,000,000 in Canadian funds. The loan will be.,.without inter- est during the war, and as soon as practicable after the war some rate of interest should be mutually arranged. The loan will be reduc- ed by any sales • to persons out- side of Britain of Canadian se- curities held in that country. Prime Minister Winston Chur- chill and the House of Commons paid warm tribute to Canada for its generous credit of i'200,000,- 000 worth of munitions and food ISSUE 8—'42 u to Britain. This gift is regarded with feel- ings of keenest appreciation and satisfaction, it was officially stated. On How To Behave When Out of Dooms The boy who helps a timid wo- man to cross a traffic artery, the automobile driver who waits for an elderly pedestrian who is caught between the change of traf fie lights, the girl who is quick to pick up a parcel for a shopper with overloaded arms, the mart who gives quick indication of wilt$ ingness to step aside so that an- other nother man inay also have room on, the sidewalk. The driver who slows down se that a commuter may pass safely from the curb to the street -car he is trying to catch, the trolley -car conductor who goes to the trouble to re -open his doors for a late- comer, the man -in -a -hurry who doesn't want a newspaper but still can remember to be gracious when telling the newsboy so— People like these make one think Confucius did not speak quite in vain when advising us all to behave when out of doors as though "entertaining a disting- uished guest."—Christian Science Monitor.
