His father was a German, Stephan even served in the German army, lbut he has been working for the Czech cause since Munich. He ex- plains briefly, that his mission in America was to follow- a German zpy. As he packs to leave, Angie arrives, . warns Deborah not to let Stephan leave the house. She has heard Portuguese sailors talking. DANGER SIGNALS CHAPTER X ' "While I was standing outside Yu Chen's chop house a few min- utes ago," Angela hurried on, "1 happened to overhear Jose Pastia talking to one of his crew as they passed. I was waiting—" • "For Heaven's sake, Angie, this is no time to indulge in total re- call! Never mind what you were waiting for. Who is this Josc Pastia; 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 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 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 seine one hanging around town who's going to make it his business to see that Stephan doesn't get away — by force, if necessary." "Why didn't this—Jose—come and warn Stephan, himself?" "He was on his way to — al- though he didn't seem to think it would do any good. But we de- cided that since . I'm in and out o1 here all the time, anyhow, it would be smarter for me to conte—in case anyone was hovering about watching the house." "Watching—the house?" De- borah echoed faintly. "But who?" "If Jose knows, he wouldn't tell. I don't think he does know." "Why hasn't he warned the po- lice ?" "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 med- dling." "If you really believe that, why did you come, Angie?" "Well,". Angie admitted with a grudging grin, "because I can't help liking the guy, I guess. • I'm slipping out the back way. "If ISSUE 9—'42 D I see anyone skulking around, i'll telephone. when 1 get home. . Make ..Hila, listen, Debby. Jose isn't the kind to go off the deep end fbr nothing." "Did Jose say Stephan shouldn't try to go?" "Well --- no," Angie admitted. "He just wanted him to know." When Deborah hurried upstairs to Stephan, lie`' seemed rather elated than. otherwise. "So that one has come, too," he said thoughtfully. "Now that snakes it really worth while." "But, Stephan, you're surely not going? Just before.1 came upstairs, I looked out—and there is some one outside,skulking in the shadow of the evergreens." Stephan threw back his head and laughed. "What you saw," he said, "was probably good old Wilhelm. He isn't much to look at, but in a scrap, he is something to write home about. . Not that I ex- pect any trouble,'' he added hasti- ly, catching ,the terror in her eyes. Then all at once, in that last few minutes before he really must go, all the futile little things that still had to be said came flocking in upon therm. "You'll write pian?" "As often as I can be sure of getting hey letters to you in some- thing like their original form. I'm sure you wouldn't like one that read just: `Dearest Deborah — blank -blank -blank.... Your ador- ing Stephan.' " "I should like the `adoring Ste- phan' very much — but oh, my dear,' don't try unless it's. entirely safe for you! ... Anyhow, I shall write every day. • I shall be very careful what I say—" "But that's the worst of it, my darling. I may not be able to let you know for months where you can be sure of finding me." Not even letters = except on those rare occasions when one.. Might be slipped through. . . Perhaps not for months. "Stephan," she said, "that last slight in California—when you did snot come, or even. telephone—I thought, 'It's like having a beaus tiful story abruptly cut short, without so much as a 'To Be Con- tinued.' Now—" "But it has been continued, hasn't it? And it will go on an, long as we both—" he caught himself up sharply, as if startled by • the implications of what he had been about to say. "You'll see," he finished. "I'll be back almost before you have time to miss me." When at length he turned to pick up his bags; and she moved, with tear -blinded eyes, to lead the way downstairs, he hesitated, then said swiftly, "Please—no! I should rather remember you here—where for a little while we have `been happy together. Or wait --I have a better idea." He led her to the window.

What she must be able to ]seep was the spell of that one short hour of nearness before he went. The spell—what was it Angie had said?—which neither Heaven nor earth nor all the powers of darkness can breaks= it was some comfort, as she stood with straining ears, waiting —for what she could not be sure —to remember that Wilhelm's Housewife Has Important Job De's and Don'ts for Canadian Housewives When Shopping It isn't a very dramatic part to play, You don't wear a uni- form to do it, nor do you even have the satisfaction of saying: "Sorry, I can't play bridge today, I'M working at„.the canteen,” but the Canadian housewife whq does her job well is playing an import- ant part in winning the war against Hitler. Canada's leaders in Ottawa are the first to admit it. Donald. Gor- don, chairman of the War -time Prices and Trade Board, has more than once publicly acknow-. ledged the importance of the housewife in the war economy and one of her most important roles is to shop carefully. Here is a brief list of "do's" and "don'ts" to help guide the shopper in her important wartime task: DO: Keep a shopping list to record the highest price paid re- cently for any commodity. Any advance• in price at the same store should be questioned. Shop on the basis of weekly menu plans. But be prepared to change them to take advan- tage of food bargains. Know when fruit and vegeta- bles are in season, and where they are cheapest. Watch sales, read labels, look for government geades, examine quality. Buy foodstuffs by weight and quality rather than price and know cuts of meat. Buy staple and non-perishable foodstuffs and groceries in as ' large quantity as your storage space and food allowance per- mits.

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. Angie, Deborah told herself doggedly as her heart turned over with a sickening thud. She's prole- ably seen some innocent citizen stop to fumble for his lateh-key, and decided he's reaching for a' gun. Before she could get up, the kitchen door opened, and Bridgie, fanning herself with her apron, bustled out and took down the re- ceiver. (Continued Next Week) Fire Trains One fire 'fighting train in Eng- land has six locomotive tenders holding 15,000 gallons of water and several powerful gasoline motor pumps capable of forcing water to great heights. gasoline . and tires of delivery wagons. DON'T: Try to buy more than your allowance of sugar, or re- plenish your supply until you have used your present stocks. Buy , clothes, household equip- ment, in fact anything, without being very certain that the pur- chase is absolutely necessary. No "white elephants" in wartime should be the rule. Don't grumble or r blame the storekeeper when certain styles or makes of goods disappear from the market. Civilian demands must come second to war needs. Output of Ships Munitions Minister Howe told members of the Engineering In- stitute of Canada that Canada's output of merchant shipping this year is expected to total almost as much as that of the shipyards of Great Britain. Submarine sinkings in the Atlantic have forced Canada to switch her ship- building facilities from naval to merchant vessels.

Does your family go forth into the world these winter mornings fortified by a wholesome and health giving breakfast, one which is so heart-warming .that they really wish to take time to enjoy it, r is it one of those hasty, sketchy things, of which energy and perception are gone long be- fore laid -morning? The most sensible breakfast, which is the very essence of sim- plicity, should be: fruit or fruit juice; cereal with milk, sugar, syrup or honey; toast, muffins or rolls; jam or marmalade; hot beverage. At breakfast one should use freely citrus juices so high in mineral and vitamin content. They contain a great deal of vitamin C, and they have a start -the - day -right value. Tomato juice is also very popular for breakfast as well as for other meals of the day. Cereals dry or cooked nowadays offer a wide variety. The cooked cereals have been so improved that they all will fit very nicely into the from five to fifteen min- ute cooking category. The dry cereals, too, offer such a choice that nearly everyone can find something appetizing for their different tastes. In the interest of the so neces- sary food milk, a beverage made with milk should be emphasized. If one wishes a more liberal breakfast, retain the fruit and cereal courses and add bacon or eggs or both. Whatever favourite sweetener you use with toast, muffins or rolls, whether it be honey, molas- ses, jelly or marmalade, it is high in food value. Valuable minerals as well as energy are supplied by most of these sweets. Siiss Chambers weieontes personal letters Prom Interested readers.

Appalling Famine Swe3ping Greece A famine of appalling propor- tions has been caused in Greece by Germans who have stripped the country of food; .according to Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles. In response to questions, Wellen, said that reports of the Greek famine had been reaching the United States Government for a long time from Americans who had seen conditions at first-hand, from neighboring countries and from the Greek Legation in Wash- ington. He said the Germans had taken every bit of food and left the Greeks to starve. The infant mor. tality was a shocking commentary on Nazi treatment of the Greeks, he said. Some food is being sent to Greece through Turkey under British auspices. Welles said he hoped that this would relieve famine conditions. Founded by the late A. E.
