SYNOPSIS When Julie Allerdyce, 19-year-old daughter of Professor Allerdyce of the Ramsey Preparatory School for Boys, manages to get herself engaged to Dr Richard Jessup, Fayette's most eligible bachelor, she looks forward to a glamorous future as a married woman. Os course, most people in town had thought Dick would marry Millicent Dodd, who is 33 while he is 38, but Millicent hides her disappointment and gives an engagement party for Julie. Less tactful is Tommy Jessup, Dick’s younger brother. He is still in college, and has always loved Julie. He tells her she will be sorry if she spoils four lives by marrying Dick. Julie tells Tommy to mind his business, but in less than six weeks she begins to find being engaged to a doctor a boring business. It is then she remembers the words of Pete Waddell, barnstorming aviator who gives flying lessons at a neighboring field. He had told her there was a great future in flying for a beautiful girl. She makes a trial flight with Waddell and decides she will learn to be a flyer. But the course costs a hundred dollars. Julie borrows the money from Millicent Dodd. In the class. Julie notes there is one other girl, Rita Cartright. CHAPTER XI Julie returned her attention to Waddell. “Before we get through, we’ll have taken up level flight, minimum glides and maximum climbs, turns and recovery from stalls, skids, slips, spirals and banks, IVe’ll have fun, and we’ll begin lesson one with an introduction to parts." Julie’s ’attention had w andered again to the other girl: where did she get the money for this course? Waddell commanded their attention. He got off the table and picked up a long pointer, pointed it at a diagram and said what was quite obvious, “These are the wings, the main supporting surfaces of an airplane. Notebooks please. There are a lot of things to know about wings.” It surprised Julie to learn that a plane may have one or more wings. It was very complicated. An automobile had four wheels and that was that. But a girl cosldn’t acMevr fap-.e and fortune driving an automobile. For the next hour Julie listened carefully, made notes. At the end of the hour, Waddell said, “We’ll review this on Friday and go on to the fuselage.” The class got to its feet. Julie smiled shyly at Warman, her redheaded neighbor. “Sounds complicated to a beginner,” he said encouragingly, “But it’s easy to get on to it.” “It’ll be more fun when we get to fly,” Julie said not meaning a word of it. “What... what are you planning to do?” “I haven’t made up my mind. It’s a little too early to know that,” he answered excitedly. “It’s a big field. There’s the air mail, transcontinental piloting, aerial photography, traffic agenting.” Julie suddenly remembered that she hadn’t any more than a vague picture of herself receiving the press after a sensational flight. Os what kind of a flight she hadn't the remotest conception. And she was not content as Red Warman was to wait and see what turned up. The others had left the hangar. She lingered. Waddell was rolling up the diagrams. He was seemingly oblivious of her slow progress toward him. Julie’s respect for him had increased. He wore the aura of importance his role as teacher had given him. Momentarily Julie felt

hesitation. It toon passed. He was 1 only a man, another means to her f end. r “I think you’re going to boa won- ■ derful teacher,” she said softly, ad- - miringly. > “What? Oh! It’s you!

woman has and the less obvious she ' ‘s’w’th ft, the farther she’ll go.” Julie’s fingers played with the papers on his desk. She dropped her eyes. “I guess you don’t think I’m very smart.” He laughed spontaneously. “Not much! A fox isn’t smart, is he? You know what you want and my money goes on any girl that gets as far as that. Besides, I wouldn’t have taken your money if I hadn’t thought I could teach you something. It’s not hard to learn to fly, you can do it.” “Look," she said, forgetting to be the pupil at her teacher’s feet. “Just what happens when it’s over?” He scratched his head. Then he shook it. “Come on, Earhart, we’ll talk it over while we have a cigarette and a cup of coffee.” There was a hot-dog stand at the side of the road by the field. Julie, starved by the long wait since breakfast, the drive out to the field and all the excitement, eyed the hot-dogs hungrily and said she onlywanted coffee. Pete Waddell wasn’t going to think she was more interested in food than in a career. “What is there for a woman to do?” she persisted. “You might be an air hostess.” "How?" she inquired, businesslike. “Well, that's a long story but it seems to be a job most girls want. You meet a lot of important people travelling on planes. Some of them marry millionaires.”

Julie's eyes were covered by her long lashes. “What does a hostess do?” “Oh, she makes up the beds on sleepers, feeds the customers, rocks babies to sleep, holds basins under chins, puffs up pillows. . . .” “A servant,” she said contemptuously. “All depends on how you look at it. She gets around a hundred and twenty a month, wears a snappy uniform, meets millionaires. . . A hundred and twenty a month! That settled it. Miss Allerdyce wasn’t going to suffer the tortures of flying for any such sum as that

even if she would meet millionaires She wanted to ask Pete why h« had misled her when he said she had a future but she saw that he was laughing at her. She tacked her sails. There was no need to prod him now. She knew how to enlist his sympathy, make him become interested in her as a personality, not as a pupil. She could bide her time. “I am hungry,” she said. “I’mstarved!” "Good! A couple of weenies, boy, and rush ’em.” A long, sleek roadster swung off the field onto the road, slowed up and came to a stop a hundred yards away. The Cartright girl was at the wheel. She turned and beckoned to Waddell. Julie watched him run toward the car, pretending that her attention was fixed on a point beyond it. She estimated the worth of the car, and quickly rearranged her values of her sister-class-mate. She poured sugar from a shaker into Waddell’s coffee when he returned. “She’s awfully attractive," she said, “Who is she?” “A good gal for you to know. That’s Rita Cartright. Her old man’s the utilities king. They’ve got a hunting lodge out here. The whole family’s bugs on flying and usually have a lot of big shots around. You might get next to her.” Julie had already decided to do that. (To be continued) Cot>xtl«hl t>j Marl* BHzard Dtitributed by King Feaiurat Bynd 1 rata, Ina.
