CE knew that her mother «J had meant she ought to try to stop Roger from making his stratosphere trial flight. Evelyn understood human nature. And the danger involved when another woman came into the picture, especially such an exceptionally attractive woman as Beryl Melrose. It was Roger who phoned E |

that next day to ask her to postpone her flying lesson once more. He told Jackie that the plans for his flight were practically “in the bag.” It was only afterward Jackie] realized he had not mentioned the fact that he, too, had gone into New York the day before.

would be able to give her her les- | son, or when he would see her, or phone again or anything. He had merely mumbled something | about being “tied up” for a while ——Jackie supposed that meant more | luncheons with Mrs. Melrose—and | ended with a vague “so long, be | seeing you.” Several days had passed and he | had not called again. They were | the longest, dreariest days Jackie | had ever known. ih W [ NINALLY Jackie could not stand it any longer. She decided to | drive out to the field, even though Roger had not given any signs of being alive. Maybe, since she was soloing now, she could take the ship up, even if he was not there. If so it would not make the slightest difference to her, whether he was or not. Which was rather a contradiction | considering the way her heart leaped into her throat and her | pulses started racing madly the moment she saw him. He was stand- | ing by the side of a plane, a silver | ship that Jackie did not remember ever having seen at the field before, | # talking with someone. It wasn't un- | til she was within hailing distance | —and had made a “mistake” of | calling his name—that Jackie realized a second later he was talking | with Beryl Melrose.

She was even | move attractive than at a distance. | She had the most beautiful big brown eyes Jackie had ever seen. But what Jackie noticed—and envied—most of all was her poise. For some reason Jackie felt all hands and feet, as though she did not know what to say, or how to act. Maybe it was because of Roger's remark about their engagement.
