CHAPTER ONE THE plane circled low, it* sin- ■ glc engine roaring and sput- | tenng uneasily. The struts | and fast turning propeller cut the air with a sound, half whistle, half hiss. It seemed to be in trouble, but . the pilot manoeuvred to a three point landing and cut the contact. Quickly he jumped to the wing, then to the ground, and began cxamining his motor. “Wizard!" he exclaimed, after a moment. “Absolutely wixard!” While the Royal Air Eoree expression, meaning that everything was fine, seemed familiar on his lips, there wan the shadow of a aouthern drawl and a softness of voice that suggested Virginia rather than England as his home. One side of his face was spattered with oil. as was his flying suit and the leather helmet which he had thrown to the ground nearby. The reason for his enthusiasm was the sl<ek, shiny Spitfire pursuit plane which he had brought down in a forced landing on the fairway of a convenient golf links. He had feared that the oil leak might be serious, but careful examination showed that it was not. "Hl fix you in half a shake,’’ he said, addressing the plane. “Where’s my—” The sentence remained unfinished. From a xipper-fastened pocket he drew a small wrench. "There you are, little fellow. Now— As he worked, dark, slightly curled hair dropped over his forehead and into his eyes. Now and again he stopped to push it into place with the back of his hand, and once or twice he swore at it mi.dly. He spoke aloud to both the plane and to the wrench, quite as though they understood and might answer back. “There, little fellow . . . tighter, please ... between us well get the old tin can rolling. Eh, old tin can? Now, one more turn here .. Bis tall, slender body was bent over and his head was practically in the motor. "There ... hum ... almost got it, little fellow.” So Intent was he on the job that he did not see a golf ball roll directly under the right wing. Nor did he see the girl, carrying only a midiron, follow the ball and atop beside him. There was a smile on her face as she stood, feet slightly apart and holding her club firmly in both hand>» watching him. Finally ahe spoke. "Would you mind moving your plane,” she said, "so that I ean play my shot?” “What shot?” he asked, without looking up. “This is a golf course, you know.” “There's a war on,” he said, still deep in his work. Then the beautiful quality of the half serious, half bantering voice, deep and musical, struck him and he looked up. “Oh, I—l’m so sorry. I didn’t know—” He was about to say that he did not know she was so beautiful, and caught himself. “You didn't know what?” the girl pursued, seeing that he was flustered, and enjoying what she understood was a compliment to her looks. "Didn’t know that your ball—l mean, that you were under my wing —I mean— Her laughter was so catching that they were soon laughing together, and he had regained his usual composure. “Just a second,” he said, "i’ll push it out of the way.” “Never mind. Please finish what you are doing. I’m really in no hurry, and your job's mere important than mine." Thea, when she saw his gaze go up and down her wall cut khaki uniform, she added, “Just an ambulance driver with a day off to visit her family.” “Oh! That's great I think you English girls are great” “No compliments, Mr. American. Yea are one, aren’t you?” H« nodded. “Go back te your work and

In point of fact he was always delighted to find someone who shared his enthusiasm for mechanical things, and when that someone happened to be a lovely girl he would probably have said that it was "wizard.” They stood together, shoulder to shoulder, she watching intently, he working. From the way he went about it she saw that he knew what he was doing. For a long moment he worked in silence, speaking neither to wrench nor plans nor girl. About these two young people, intent on the job at hand and for the time being completely oblivious of the world outside, with its thunder-

ing, destructive war, the green countryside of Kent smiled under the September's sun. So far the angry force of Hitler had not struck here. Except for the presence of the Spitfire, and the two uniforms, war seemed far away indeed. Birds sang in the trees, or ran along the well kept fairways and over tne greens in search of worms and bugs. There was no other sound on land or in the sky, except the clicking of steel against steel as the aviator worked on. It was the girl who broke the silence. "My brother’s a pilot." “Yes?" "Pursuit pilot He’s just received his wings.” “What squadron?” The queation was asked more out of politeness than from curiosity. Half conscious politeness at that He bad almost completed the job and was too in* tent on getting bis plane ready for the air to have any real interest in the girl’s brother. “The Hornets,” she answered. "He's joining them soon now, and terribly happy at the prospect Ho says it’s the best squadron in the M.A.F." The American straightened up and, without speaking, led the girl by her arm around to the body of the plane. He pointed with the wrench to a fool-long yellow hornet painted there on the side. “Oh!” she exclaimed. “How splendid. Do look out for him.” “What's his name?” The girl laughed. "The same as mine. You might ask what that la, but I shan’t force you to. I’m Wendy Bruce, and my brother’s
