Trial Flight

By Adelaide Humphries.

CAST OF CHARACTERS JACKIE DUNN—heroine; she wanted to flv. ROGER BRECKNER—hero; he wanted to test the stratosphere. BERYL MELROSE—wealthy she wanted Roger. EVELYN LA FARGE—Jackie's mother; she wanted a son-in-law,

widow;

Yesterday; Heart beating, exultant, Jackie returns to Roger only to find Beryl, kneeling at Roger’s bedside, sohbing convulsively. Quietl¥, Jackie leaves the hospital.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

ACKIE knew that as long as she lived that picture of Beryl

it. But that was not what troubled her now; what troubled ‘her was what she must do about it. Roger knew now that Beryl loved him. He would indeed have been | blind, if he could not have read | Beryl's love revealed in its entirety. But that was not what troubled Jackie altogether. The thought that troubled her most of all was! that perhaps Roger loved Beryl! | After all, Roger had never told | Jackie that he loved her. He had | merely suggested they enter into a trial engagement in order to make Evelyn believe they were going to be married. He had given his word he would stick to this ‘ridiculous | idea” until the bitter end, as he had | expressed it, to help Jackie. Even before Roger had gone away, | when Jackie had tried to make him | believe that the engagement idea | might not be so ridiculous, he hee not said that he really loved her. | He had played his part gallantly, of |

course. Roger was too good a sport, even now, not to continue playing | his part to carry through this engagement they had entered into, until the bitter end. Maybe even | though he had found that he loved | someone else! | § Hadn't Roger told Jackie over | and over how wonderful he found Beryl Melrose? Hadn't Evelyn | warned her daughter that Sorel might fall in love with such a fascinating woman? And there | was no doubt as to that fascina- | tion. Jackie had come under the | spell of it herself during these past | few days. | n s » {

T was merely common sense to | admit that any man would pre-| fer a woman of the world, poised, cultured, wealthy—like Mrs. Mel- | rose to a stupid, silly little girl like herself. Beryl Melrose had done things in aviation, too—the sort of | things to win a man’s admiration, | the sort things Jackie had] dreamed of doing one day. Im-| possible dreams, she saw now, that | wotild never be fulfilled. They must have seemed very foolish-——those | dreams of Jackie's—to Roger, who had had had such big dreams of his! own And Beryl Melrose had been the one to help Roger fulfill his dreams, even though this first trial flight had almost ended in dis- | aster.

George is that he spells ‘vocation’ with two a's.”

That would not stop Roger. | He would want to go on, as soon as | he was able; he would need Beryl to | help him to continue. Beryl, who had saved his life this time, who | was so much more suited to him in| every way than a little nobody like | Jackie. “Did you get all your letters | written and everything else you! had planned to do?” Beryl asked at | dinner that evening in the hotel's little coffee shop. ‘Roger was dis- | appointed that you could not get | to the hospital this afternoon.” “Was he disappointed?” Jackie | asked eagerly, before she thought. | She should have known that Beryl was merely trying to be nice. Since | she had been with Roger all after- | noon he would not have missed | Jackie. “I... I couldn't get there.” Jackie added quickly. It was true; she could not have forced herself to have gone into that room, after coming upon that scene with Beryl | down on her knees to Roger. “I. I was packing, Beryl.” “Packing!” | “Yes.” Jackie nodded, but she | could not meet Beryl's startled | glance. She did not know what had made her say that, or what | had helped her to reach the sud-| den decision that had come to her. For Jackie knew now what it was | that she must do. “I am going home,” she said quietly, and now her eyes looked | across the little table into Bervl's | big dark ones. “I don't think that | T should stay anv longer. Now that | Roger is out of danger, getting along | so fine.” |

“¥ SEE,” Beryl said. But she did not look as though she. did Neither of them said anything for a while. Then Bervl looked up from her plate again. “You're not going without saying goodhy to Roger, | without telling him, are you, | Jackie?” Jackie said no, she would not | do that. She pushed her plate | away; she could not eat anything | more. “T'll say goodby in the] morning.” Oh, how hard that | would be! When it might be | goodby forever. When it might | mean she would never see Roger again. “I don’t think there is any train out of here until noon.” “I'm sorry that you have to £0,” | Beryl said, still in that same] doubtful tone, her dark eyes | troubled, questioning. Then she smiled at Jackie, gently, “Though | if you think you should—maybe it | is best, after all.” Jackie said, “I think it is.” She] knew that they both were simply talking to cover up all the things that they could not say, that perhaps were better left unsaid. But there was one thing that Jackie felt she must know.
