R .-l-i _— SYNOPSIS Forced down on a golf courae in Kent, England. David "Hutch" Hutchinson. American flyer with the "Horneta” squadron of the R A F., meets lovely Wendy Bruce. The latter, an ambulance driver on J leave, is the daughter of Lord and Lady Harrowsdale, whose estate, "The Downs,” is nearby. Just as David finishes repairing an oil i leak, he sees three Messerschmitts ! chasing a single Spitfire. He joins the battle and downs one of the enemy planes; the other disappears in the clouds. When news comes to "The Downs" that Philip, Wendy's brother, is to take the place of a "Hornet" who crashed nearby, the girl's heart sinks for fear it was David. She is overcame with emotion when Philip tele-

Willi SIMVIIViI w — phones that David i« safe. In the meantime. Hutch ha» returned I to hie base, only to learn that hie friend, Capt. John McCall, was the flyer who had "bought it" (an R A F. term for dying in combat). Two of Hutch’s buddies, Arthur Stafford and Rusty Ransome, do their best to cheer him up. Word comes that a fleet of bombers was sighted over Hastings. Hutch is made squadron leader in Mac's place. Just as the "Hornets” are about to go to the attack, Philip join* them. In flight, Hutch radios a welcome. After a brief encounter, an anti-aircraft crew reports | that three bombers fell in the vicinity, so the Commanding Officer credits the Hornets. Hutch goes to the hospital with a shoulder wound, disappointed that he will be grounded for a few weeks. CHAPTER NINE Broth and toast were served to Hutch by the same nurse who had brought the anti-tetanus and, after he had finished it, she said good night and put out the light. How long he lay there in the dark, tossing restlessly and thinking, he could not say. It must have been hours before sleep came, and during that time a general sum-ming-up of the last few days passed through his mind, a resume that was not always on the pleasant side. . . . There were the pilots he had shot down, seen crash to their deaths to be burned and mangled beyond recognition. Os course, this had been done in fair combat. It was one or the other, ami, ns long as he could, he preferred to be the victor. But the poor devils must have families back home in the Fatherland who loved them and would mourn for them, feel their lose dreadfully. Well, he had a family too, in far off Virginia. He must think of them, of his mother and father, ut Betty and Kate, his sisters. For their sakes he had to defend himself. . . . Poor old Mac! He had been so alive, so full of life only that morning. Hutch eould see him *plainly, running full speed across the field when the signal had come, yelling to the other pilots, “A scramble! Hurry up, a scramble!" He had always been the most enthusiastic of all for a fight, the first to arrive at his plane, the last to return. Then Hutch heard his friend’s eager voice coming over the air , through the R.T. receivers, crying, ‘‘Tallyho! There they arc. Tallyho! Tallyho!" when he sighted the enemy. Now Mac had followed so r many others. Among the more pleasant memories that sifted through his feverish brain were of the girl he had met that morning on the golf links, ’ Windy Bruce, and her brother, * Philip. The latter had flown well, but Hutch had hardly even met him. Seemed O.K Stocky chap, and very English. But the girl. That was something to think about.... Now he couldn’t put through his plan to visit the Bruces for ever so long. I First he would have to return to the squadron and make friends with " the brother. Then he would have to hint for an invitation to his c home, and—Why it might take months. .. * , Her eyes seemed to be looking straight at him. half smiling, half t serious. “You're beautiful,** he | said, and fell off into a troubled

ing us convalescent eases no*. I suppose that is because we’re far enough off the line which the raiders take to London.” "I suppose so. But one never can tell which direction they will take." For a time the couple sat in silence; Lady Harrowsdale busy with her knitting for the soldiers, her husband deep in the day’s news. Wendy had left on the early train, her twenty-four hour leave up. to return to Watford where her . ambulance corps was stationed. Oddly enough, this town is only a . few miles from St. Albans, but she . did act know that the Hornets were I i there. A log fire crackled gaily in the i sitting room of The Downs, and the ■ only other sound in the comfortable , room was the clicking of the mis- . tress’ needles as the sock upon > which she was working grew with t surprising rapidity. Finally she broke the silence. "Did you notice , any change in Wendy?" Lord Harrowsdale folded his I paper and dropped it to the floor , before answering. "No. That is, , nothing much. Seemed a bit less , talkative, more on the silent side, . and ate less than usual. Must be r the war, and the sights she is seei ing hauling wounded out of Lonr don. Rough job for a girl.” > "She’s in love.” "Nonsense! Wendy is only a j child." The father ecu Id never re- > eoneile himself to the fact that his • children had grown. He always saw i them running about under Ms feet t and falling off their Shetland ponies. "Nonsense!” ho repeated. t “Time for my ride.” He went out f and off towards the stables, giving e the matter no further thought, i But it was the mother, with her
