[quiet sort of fellow. The name is Tom Burke.” “Tom Burke!” startled, and color cheeks. She looked away quickly. | Even if she had fussed with Tom | and they had parted ways in anger, the mere mention of his name still had the power to send her heart racing. But that was no reason why she should let Watson suspect, anything existed between them. " » ® WATSON nodded his head. “I thought you would recognize the fellow. Seen you two together on occasions. What do you think of him?” A deeper flush burned her cheeks |§ and made her furious with embarrassment. She answered a bit curtly. | “Nice on the eyes but conceited and stubborn as a mule.” “Well, never mind.” He smiled |as if from some inner knowledge land stood up. “Keep vour eyes open. I want to nick any sabotage [in the bud that might be develop- | ing in this company. By the way, | Burke is remaining on the coast as consulting engineer for the plant.” He let that bit of information sink in, then reached for her nand and pressed it. “I am decending on you to carry through for the company.” “Then I'll be on my way, Mr. Watson.” Her red mouth curled in a mischievous grin. “I shall have a very good time and spend the company’s money freely.” “You have a free hand on ex-|| penses. And happy landing.” { Judith fairly raced from the building and did not stop to eat lunch. She hailed a taxi and] rushed to her apartment to pack’ a hasty bag. As she walked through the airnort gates, the loudspeaker announced the approaching departure of the westbound plane. The afternoon sun sifted through her red hair, and the light of adventure glowed in her eyes. She hurried aboard the big silver ship and took a seat in the rear. She did not have time to look around at her fellow-travelers for a few minutes. There was the task of adjusting the safety belt and making herself comfortable. But once in the air, she settled down and let her eager eyes rove the ship in search of Tom Burke. In & moment she saw him, up one seat and across the aisle. She studied what little of his head she could see, wondering if he would sense 5 _ a her presence. But he did not turn. SN X A little sign passed her lips. She " tH) TNE knew in her heart that she still cr Ea loved him, regardless of what ‘had happened or been said. With an effort, she pulled her gaze from him and looked around at the others she could see. The man in front of her had his head turned to the side. His eyes seemed to be focused on Burke, but she could not be sure from where she sat. The man across the aisle from her was either very frightened or very interested. His stare was glued to the back of Tom's seat. ~-She| studied the man for a long time from veiled eyes. Just as she settled down to read a magazine, a sudden alarming thought came to her. i “Those men are watching Tom. They must know he has the plans for,the bomber.” (To Be Continued)
