Think IL over.
Think it over especially when you get the urge to
spend now j. when you get the idea that maybe it
wouldn't hurt to cash some of those War Bonds
Because if you let those Bonds 60 now, or before
they reach maturity, you're letting 60 one sure thing
in your future.
United States War Bonds are the best investment
in the world. No matter what happens in postwar
America, you can always be sure to collect those four
dollars for every three you've loaned Uncle Sam, when
your Bonds mature.
No job-no income-no other opportunity offers
you such certain security, such a chance to protect
your own future, or such a chance some day to have
some of the things you've always wanted.
Instead of cashing in your Bonds next time you're
tempted, buy another just to be on the safe side. Your
country needs the ~money-and you need War Bonds!

in the instrument bath, and the
ticking of the clock. Out of doors
all was still. Snow that had been
falling steadily had settled, soft
billowing velvet robe over the hills
that Steve could no longer see
through his window.
He lifted a tiny mass Of yellow
growth from a plate with a slim
pipette, and dropped it into test
tube. His lips pursed, but he did
not whistle. It was only two days
ago that he had begun that old
habit Of his student days, and kept
it up all day, but now at five, when
the shadows heightened and dark
ness crept into his house, he had
stopped.
He knew then that she was not
coming.
Her presence had been there all
day like the scent Of her perfume,
faint in essence, lingering in his
memory, coming and going as rap
idly as her smile, her easy, soft
laughter. She was not coming
and it was just as well. She didn't
belong there in his laboratory, in
his life. 1t wasn't that she was in
the way; she moved deftly doing
the things he had taught her to do.
She could be useful, not as useful
as young Dawson, but she had ap-
titude that could be trained, yet /. .
From the very beginning, Steve
had felt that she was dangerous to
him, and he had set up barriers.
Then she had revealed their weak
ness, tantalizing woman-with her
hand held out in friendship, her
shoulder to his-lulling him to a
sense of security, to a belief in her
sincerity.
"PH come Thursday, nothing
would keep me array"
1t was Thursday, and the day
was gone.
Steve knew. He could almost
hear the voice:
Come, Daphne, 10 our party.
Wen come and get you"
~ promised to 90 to Stevs's lab
oratory today"
"On a holiddy' A laboratory!
You can 90 there anytime"
80 can. Steve pon't mind
Steve :"
"Steve! Hullol Anybody homer"
II was her voice all right and
Steve was whistling when he opened
the door.
Happy Thanksgiving" she said,
thrusting a large bundle into his
arms. "Be careful. Hold it right
side mp. It's turkey and it ought
to be still piping hot"
what -. what?" he asked, gap
ing.
Don't stand there talking, my
friend. Put it on the table and fol-

CHAPTER NINETEEN

Kate wanted her for Thanksgiv-
ing, but Daphne said she WAS plan
ming a dinner party of her own.
More information than that, she
couldn't divulge - not until she
heard from Steve. There wasn't any
answer yet to the note she'd written
him few days before. Indeed she
had heard nothing at all from him
since the day she went to his cot
tage and came away with his prom
Use to send for her to help him in
his laboratory.
Daphne thought a lot about the
note she'd sent him. There wasn't
anything in it to scare him off. She
hadn't even mentioned that she was
hoping to hear that he wanted her
to help him-soon. Just: 1--WE are
dining at seven on Thanksgiving
Day and hope you will join us"
Once she d mailed it, Daphne for
got all about it-except when the
telephone bell rang she almost
jumped out of her skin, and every
football coming to her door made it
necessary for her to remind herself
that she could walk just as easily as
run to it.
Daphne decided that he'd (a)
packed up and moved away, (b)
offered her a chance to work with
him only to get rid of her, (c) had
caught one Of his own germs and
was in the throes of some terrible
disease, (d) Just didn't give her in
vitation a moments thought =.
But when she drove home early
from Hates on the Sunday night
before Thanksgiving, she found his
note slipped under her door.
Dear Mrs. Abruzzi," he wrote,
Thank you very much for your
kind invitation to dine on Thursday.
regret shall be unable to accept"
Daphne got that far and was torn
between Indignation and tears, and
read on "In the meanwhile, il you
are quite certain that you'd like to
give me a hand, would you have
free hour or two on Tuesday after
noon about two7
yours gratefully,
stephan Fenwick"
On Tuesday morning, Daphne had
a toothacne that sent her to the
dentist who told her to go straight
home and keep out Of the snow
laden air. So she hurried home, ate
lunch. and appeared promptly by
two o'clock at Stoves place.
He gave her joyous welcome,
and long white coat like the one
he was wearing, and said it would
be her own. And powdered rubber
gloves, too.
First I'll teach you TO scrub"
Steve said, then we'll go over the
don'ts which are sometimes more
important in a laboratory than the
dos"
Steve opened the refrigerator
door and held up a test-tube. It's
contents looked like butter that had
been melted and then CONCEALED. He
handled IL cautiously, as he said,
This is filled with deadly virus.
Any Of tin your blood stream
would most certainly kill you. Any
person attacked by this might start
an epidemic such as swept the eoun-
try in the last World War. You
must remember never TO touch
