SYNOPSIS I 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, i Fayette's most eligible bachelor, | she looks forward to a glamorous future as a married woman. Os | course, most people in town had i thought Dick would marry Milli- ■ cent 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 be- , gins to find being engaged to a doc- , tor a boring business. It is then ( she remembers the words of Pete ; Waddell, barnstorming aviator who . gives flying lessons at a neighbor- ( ing field. He had told her there was , a great future in flying for a beau- ] tiful girl. After a trial flight with , Waddell, Julie borrows a hundred ( dollars from Millicent for a course of lessons. In her class there is one other girl, Rita Cartright. Waddell . tells Julie Rita’s father is a wealthy utilities king and that it might be profitable to cultivate the girl’s ■ friendship. Julie had already de- i tided to do that. [ CHAPTER XII Out-of-doors the locusts buzzed < mechanically. The sound was like the drilling of a dentist It was a forewarning that the day was going to be hot. Already, though it was ; but a little after seven, the sun's rays were baking the dry earth. The air was motionless. Julie wanted to stay in bed but her night-dress clung to her uncomfortably. The bed was rumpled, hot, uncomfortable from her restless tossing in the sleepless night. Thank heaven it was Tuesday 1 A classroom day. The prospect of two hours under the sun-baked hangar roof was not a plaasant one but, at least, it was better than having to fly. The long, dusty drive to Clunesville and the two hour session were not exciting to contemplate but flying was impossible. Her nerves weren’t up to it. She d had three hours in the air. She d handled the controls, taken tha plane off the ground, but she hadn t learned to do it without her teeth chattering and her knees turning to water. Grinning, only by loosening the taut muscles of her jaw, she'd said she loved it Wondering if the rest of them felt the same way she did. She was at a loss to understand all her fellow students. They pored over maps, charts, the instrument board, hung around the hangar after class. Rita Cartright too. It was hard for her to understand. They liked flying. Julie didn’t. She despaired of ever liking it It wasn’t so much that she ' didn’t like it as that it terrified her. No amount of classroom work, no intimate knowledge of theories, of what made it fly, could make clear to her what kept a plane in the air. Some part of her refused to let the , knowledge get past it into her brain. It never once occurred to her to tell that to one person, or to turn back from the course she had set for herself. It cost her a hundred dollars to learn to fly and she was

going to do it Her first hunch that Pete Waddell had known what ne was talking about when he said she had a future had not deserted her. There was another thing that she enjoyed: she had taken on new prestige in Fayette. Julie is learning to fly. Not reallyl How thrilling I Aren’t you scared to death, Julie? Os course not, silly, what is there to be scared of? Look at the Lindberghs. Look at Amelia Earhart. Yes, look at them. Look at Julie Allerdyce carelessly swinging her helmet in her hands as she crosses the field, knowing that all eyes are fixed admiringly on her. Just a slip of a g*.l. See her swing lightly into her seat, pull the goggles down over her eyes, adjust the helmet under her chin. You can’t see her eyes and you wouldn’t know that her hands are damp. You wouldn’t know that she is thinking, Pete's In the after cockpit. I’m safe with him. It’s a dual control plane. He talks to her through a telephone. He can’t see her face. She can’t freeze to the stick. There’s an automatic control. Her eyes are glued to the dash as they travel over the ground at a little more than minimum speed. "Watch the air speed indicator —later you’ll have to judge for yourself, the indicator rncey be faulty." Oh, please, Dear God, never: "All right, as flying speed is approached, pull the stick back slowly. The motion must be very slight." Then she was following directions, later easing the stick forward gently, rising, getting speed, altitude. In a little while the first lesson was over. The second lesson, learning to handle the three controls. The third lesson, landing. Is it possible that after twelve, she would know enough to do all these thing solo? Thinking about that wasn’t going to make the day any more comfortable. Julie got up, pulling the silk nightie over her head and being very quiet about it. She wanted the shower before Priscilla made one of her flying leaps for the bathroom. Over the running water she heard the distant tinkle of the telephone. “Juliet It’s for you I” Julie dried herself, snatched her kimono from the hook on the door and ran downstairs hoping that the lessen had been called off. It was Althea Turner. “It’s going to be a scorcher, Julie." Julie knew that and said so. “So we’re going to pack a lunch and go over to the quarry and swim all day. There's a whole gang of girls going.” It was lovely and cool at the quarry. Julie thought of the tranquillity. It would be fun to lie around in a bathing suit all day and come back when the afternoon had turned cool. Lots more fun than driving thirtysix miles over a dusty road with your heart pounding against your ribs the way it always did when you came home from a class. She thought of all she had been through. She thought of the day she had swallowed her pride and borrowed the money from Millicent. She thought of those three hours she had already spent in the air. She said, “Sorry, darling, but I can’t. You know I have to be at the field at ten and I wouldn't miss that for anything in the world! It’s getting to be grand fun.” “Well, you aren’t going to stay there all day. are you?”

bounties of $2 50 a head on foxes, which supervisors say have caused poultry farmers serious loss in recent years. —oWilliam Bell attended to business in Indianapolis yesterday.

Julie said she wasn’t. “And you've got Tommy a car. Why don't you drive over when you get home?" .... That sounded like a good idea. Julie dressed. Step-ins. A brownchecked gingham dress you couldn t see through. Socks. Rubber-soled shoes. She filled her compact, put her emergency dollar in her pocketbook along with her clean handkerchief and comb. She fished around in the cedar chest for her bathing suit. A wisp of white wool she had knitted in the winter and never worn. She was sorry that its initial appearance would be wasted on the girls. She rolled it up in a little bundle, tied it up In a turkish towel and went down to breakfast. The telephone rang again. Julie glanced at the clock. Twenty-five minutes of nine. She hoped it wasn’t for her; she had to walk down to Judge Platt’s office to get Tommy’s car and it was an hour’s drive to Clunesville in the Rattletrap. It was for her, it was Dick Jessup. Apologizing, as usual, for being unable to come to supper that night. The Tupper’s baby was on its way and he thought it unlikely that it would be over before midnight. Julie heard him with no feelings about it one way or another. A month before she would have been angry but sweet. Now she said, "I’m sorry, Dick, but maybe it’s just as well. I’m having a lesson today and later I’m going to join the gang swimming. If you get away we might catch the second show at the movies.” He had something he wanted to tell her but she cut him short; it was getting late. Two hours later, sitting on her canvas camp chair, she tried to fix her attention on Waddell. He had chosen this morning to review the three previous ground lessons, knowing that it was no day to try to impress the heat-sodden minds of his class with additional knowledge. Waddell, in a shirt with the sleeves cut off at the elbow, lounged indolently on the table. His class squirmed. “I think I'll have a look at your notebooks,” he said. Julie had left hers in the car. She went out in the heat to get it, thought of the cool pool at the quarry, remembered her swimming suit and an idea came to her. Perhaps Rita Cartright— Julie hadn’t made much progress in her friendship with the other girl. They greeted each other cordially, exchanged opinions in class, that was all. Julie was too wise to force herself on the other girl, to show an undue interest. She got her note book off the seat where she had left it, undid the towel in which her bathing suit was wrapped, stuck the note-book in the bundle, rewrapped it and ran back to the hangar. She opened the bundle and got the book out. Her bathing suit fell to the floor as if by accident. She rolled it up hastily and put it in back of her on the chair. The lesson droned on. The class , perspired. Finally Pete said, “Class dismissed. It’s too infernally hot to work today. Lessons aloft: Hynes, tomorrow at two. Donnolly, at three. Thursday at ten for Cartright. Thursday at twelve for Allerdyce. . . .” (To be continued) Copyright by Marie Bllzard Di I tri buted by King FealurM Syndicate Inc
