It had bee na mistake, coming down here. She ought to wait at home for Dwight. He'd come. But when she got home, she found Jack Hanley. " She had not seen him since that night aboard the battleship. when they had quarreled. He had not telephoned. She had felt humiliated because she knew that he must have heard Dwight was going to marry a rich girl from the east; and so he had known that Judy had lied to him. But despite her consciousness that their next meeting would be em barrassing, she had missed -him in a curious fashion. She had come to depend so much on those casual evenings when he dropped around ana tney danced to the radio or sat on the porch, idly talking. . s bo now sne was glad to see him, and yet intermingled with her gladness was the memory of that lie. She wondered if he would refer to it. But he did not. He only said, "Hello, Judy," and she said, "Hello. You look all in!" He did. He was tired. It was in the suddenly deep lines of his face; in the eyes that looked worn and heavy; in the way his long legs sprawled out. She said, "Flown a good many weary miles?" and he grunted. Then she asked him how the four days at sea had . gone. He said, "Some little whim of the an miral's. Working out a pet no tion, or something. Not regular maneuvers, .but the battleships had target practice, and we had scouting and meeting the patrol boats and all that." - Yet the look on his face meant more than mere routine flights There was more to it than that. She asked swiftly, "Casualties?" "One," he admitted reluctantly. He told her that a light fighter off the Enterprise, spiralling into the clouds, had some way gotten into trouble. Not engine trouble for the mechanics checked the ships too carefully before each flight. "Maybe he got rattled He never did fly into formation." He had nose dived, spinning into the sea, and one of the big fly ing boats had come down on the choppy water to render assistance. "Only," he said carefully, not looking at her. "It was too late. She licked her suddenly dry lips. "Who was it? Anyone I FLAPPER FANNY By Sylvia -COPR. 1936 BY NEA 6CSV1CC. INC. T. M. fttG- U. 8- f AT. QfF.- Tell!

That meant hn haH nnt h..n flying Ion a. She felt a litil. There were not so many casual ties now as there used to be, her father said, proudly. The navy was building some real flyers. But there were enough so thai you couldn't ever forget the brav ery of men who flew.

Diane had said once, "They die a thousand times. Over and over and over in vnur mind. And then at last the real time when it actually hannens." She had added, "Maybe it's re lief. To know it's over.

The urea eyes came alive. Tin care. ful. I I didn't think you'd care much though " "Of course I care!" she said. The doorbell rang. She leaped to ner leet. "That must be Dwight." "Dwight?" Jack's face was sud denly still and guarded, and the things they had said that night on the battlewagon seemed to come alive between them. "I thought he" Judy explained swiftly, "His girl flew here from the east, you know. But when he had to shove off, she got mad, "and ran a,vay. I guess he he went to her hotel first and he he wants to ask me about it." "But what do you know about it?" Jack was frowning. There was no time to explain further. She opened the door, and Dwight, his handsome face flushed and his eyes bright with impatience was asking, "What happened to Marvel? She's checked out of the Coronado! "I know it," Judy said quietly. "Won't you come in and sit down I'll tell you . . . what Sittie know. ..." Dwight greeted Jack, and sat down on the sofa beside him Judy had not expected Jack to be present when she gave Mar. vel's message to Dwight, but there was no help lor It now. She said, "I went there, as you asked me to, Dwight. I I tried to explain to her. But she would n't listen. She was very angry. She kept saying that you c,ould have stayed if you d wanted to. I explained and explained tried to make her see but she said she was leaving for Los Angeles and never coming back." "Leaving?" Dwight's head jerked forward, and he cried, "For God sake, couldn't you have talked little sense Into her? I wasn't off on any pleasure jaunt!" "I know it. But she just wouldn't listen.'

Stories in STAMPS Brazil Prepares to Tap Its Vast Hinterland THE frontier days, so epie In tht history of the United States, are still ahead of vast, sprawlini Brazil. But the country is movinj in on the hinterland with a new vigor, following the path of th( rails as did America from the roaring forties to the eighties. The lick of transportation has long retarded Brazil's economic growth. But now t big scale pro gram is to be launched in both road and rail routes. Navigation imDrovement is planned as well Reports indicate that thousands of miles ol railroad will be built inland as far as the states of Govaz and Matto Grosso ana ex tensive highway construction will open up the back country as far north as Bahia. At the same time there will be wholesale reorgan isation of the government-owned steamship lines with 8 view to tapping new resources of the In credibly rich and undeveloped country. So vast is Brazil that some boundaries have never been sur veyed. Official eetimates place its area at 3,285,319 square miles. The population approximates 45.000,000. Brazil is the largest state in South America, exceeding the size of Continental United States, exclusive of Alaska, by 250,000 square miles. It has coast line on the Atlantic of 4106 miles, and the country extends; 2?91 miles from north to south and J500 miles east to west The northern half is the great heavily wooded basin of the Amazon 3454 miles long. In all its riven Brazil possesses 40,000 miles of navigable waters. Brazil is shown above on map stamp of the country issued In 1927.
