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

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.
"Now," he directed, his hands

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.
Carry your own parcels to save

sturdy figure would be close at
Stephan's elbow.
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.

Fire Trains
One fire 'fighting train in Eng-
land has six locomotive tenders

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.

TALE TALKS
BREAKFAST
Breakfast An All
Important Meal
Upon observation, discussion
and experience I have learned
that breakfast with many is a
much neglected meal.
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.

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.
