Kay Dunn, preity airplane stewardess, | because he went dancing with me.”
falls in love with Ted Graham, vet-
eran pilot who flies the trans-Pacific |
. route,
Ted, however, is not interested in |
romance. He is devoted to two interests: His job in the air service and his adopted son, Dickie, 7 years old. Dickie ~ and Kay become close friends and soon the three spend much time together. One night Kay and Ted have a long falk In which he explains his views on marriage: To be successful, he says, a ‘marriage must be planned scientifically, Just as a plane flight. Kay does not _ agree to all this, but when he askes ‘her to marry him she says yes. “ The marriage takes place and the ~ honeymoon is a flight to the Orient. Later, with Ted away for weeks at a time, Kay is lonely. She tries to keep busy, caring for her home and for Dickie. Ted is working on an invention, ~ when he is in port, spends less and less time at home. Kay is deeply disappointed because he is unable to be home for Christmas. She gives a dinner party and later goes with three friends, Doris Lee, Raiph Bangs and Monte Blaine, to dance, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
BY DECK MORGAN CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
HEN Ted returned home, three | days after Christmas, Kay |
met him at the dock with Dickie |
at her side, “The little wife waiting with open
arms!” she thought, as the giant:
_ flying ship settled down in the harbor and taxied up to the landing. Ted came to her, his tanned face beaming. He gathered her in his arms, and, for one quivering moment, under the feeling of his hard embrace, she yielded completely .o him again. But the moment was quickly gone. She began to talk of things that ~ had happenecesince he had left. “Was old Santa Claus good to you?” Ted said to Dickie. “Sorry I didn’t make it home with my presents in time for the tree, but I've got them in my duffle bag.” . “I want an aviation helmet with 10.000 hours in the air on it,” Dickie said. / ” ” on LL right, you'll have mine!” Ted replied, laughing. “It’s practically worn out anyway.” “And what do you want?” he said to Kay. + Sh looked up at him. “You al- - ways seem to know just what pleases “me. Ted,” she said quietly. | “But. nothing special? Nothing in jade to match those gorgeous eyes.” | “Oh, Ted, don't tease!’ she said. f course I'm dying to see what you brought.” | He took a box from his pocket and opened it, disclosing the loveest jade bracelet she had ever seen : | “Oh, it’s beautiful!” She stood p on her toes and kissed him. But they were both strangely quiet during the drive back to the house built on the sands. Ted | sensed that something had come | between tym | He said, “Darling, you're not worried about anything?” | “No.” | “Did I miss a Big Christmas gin-| ‘per? Whom did you invite?” ~ “Doris and her crowd. And, of ~ course, Jerry.” “I'm glad you asked Jerry,” Ted said. “We hadn’t missed a Christmas dinner together for almost 20 years. ” 2 x = AY laughed. “That's what he kept telling us. I'm afraid he talked too much. He told what a gay dog you were in Paris in wartime.” / Ted smiled. “Good old Jerry.” “People drifted in during the evening,” Kay said, “and then we went to the Palace and danced until almost morning.” Ted gave her a quick look. “We?” ~ “Monte Blaine and I and Doris and Ralph. We went to hear DudJey Nix sing. He has a grand orchestra.” : For a long while Ted was silent, and he appeared to be thinking hard about something. But when at last he turned to her he squeezed her hand. “I'm glad you had a good

ED#® seemed actually surprised. “But—but I never thought
| about that! It's just that we can't | tolerate—"
“Tolerate!” Kay exclaimed. “Monte goes out with a pretty girl in Honolulu to dance, and you can’t tolerate it!” “That wasn't my information,” Ted said slowly.: “Monte disobeyed rules.” “He's not a machine. He can't go on and on, like your airplanes, until he’s used up and junked!” Ted eved her. There was in his look the quiet resolution that she had once admired se much. He said, quietly, “Kay, who knows men better—you or 1? Who knows flying qualities better? I've seen aviation from its infancy. For five years we planned this transPacific flight—scientifically.” “Plan, plan, plan!” she said. “I'm sick of the word. I'm sick of running a scientific household, too!
! Diets! Budgets! Vegetables with | out salt. One dollar a month for
cosmetics and 20 for gasoline! That is: what planning means to a man.”

ED smiled indulgently, and it,
made Kay more furious. “Don’t
{look at me as though you were in-
dulging -a silly little girl!” she exclaimed. “Kay!” he said, with feeling. But she raged on. “The transPacific flight is everything to you. Nothing else counts.” For the first time Ted looked troubled. But he let her continue. “This home,” Kay went on, “is
| just a place where Jou rest your |
weary head. The little wife, wait-
simple thing with hos r household duties!
I'm a glorious housekeeper!” “Kay! Kay!” Ted said. “you don't

OOK at me,” she said, on the -! verge of tears, 'I married a
man, and now wha! have I become—a trained engineer! I wanted you to be crazy ahoul me. I thought we'd have {un together. We're human—not rohots or gyropilots. Automatic stecring devices in a plane—” “Kay!” Ted tried compassion-
“You don’t mean wha! you're saying. I have my job and I have you. I can’t be with vou as much as other men who have jobs on land can be with their wives, hut 1 do love you, Kay. I'm crazy about you. It wouldn’t matter to me if you threw all the housekeeping overboard, and hired a raft of servants! But I don't think you'd

HARLES WARE is not a criminal! I think he’s marvelous and nothing that any of you say can convince me otherwise!” Lydia all but screamed these words at the circle of relatives who surrounded her in the dim, ornate drawing room. “Be calm, my child,” Tio cautioned her heavily. “You must be guided by the counsel of your elders. This young Americano lives not at the Hotel Tourista, but at the sécondclass Pension Mundial, although he has money to spend lavishly. He associates with low-class mestizos, in barrooms of ‘low repute. And now, he has had the insolence to accompany you to the Teatro Palacio without a chaperon. It is outrageous!” “It’s no crime to go to the movies. Why, when father and I were in Washington——" Tia Maria sniffed. “Customs of Washington are not those of Ciudad Guatemala, and ladies of the Montinizo family must observe a certain decorum—particularly - you, as fiancee of Dr. Henrique ‘Morales y Mendoza.” . ” = o

Raoul with two of his heavily armed operatives. She felt suddenly ill. Charles Ware a grave robber! “You see, Lydia,” her brother Juan said. Then Capt.
