She took the first seat that was available and then entered the coach that was leaving for LaGuardia Field. Once there she promenaded the terminal, gat ing at its 86 clocks at least three times apiece. She saw part of a movie in the small cinema theater arranged for people who waited between ships. Ehe ordered a sandwich on the terrace, and sat while lights began to twinkle in the vast immensity of space about her, as ships came in like gigantic lightning bugs. Her plane was called at last. She hurried through the glassed- in underpass to her seat. Small el ec trio letters warned all pas sengers to Tasten Seat Belts." This was easy enough to do. She stirred uneasily. None of the aft ernoon editions had given any news concerning Sandy other than that he had been located, was slightly scratched, had a broken rib or two, and that the fuel he had been testing was in no way responsible for the accident Then what had been to blame for the disappearance and reappearance of a silver-winged monoplane? Just where was Sandy? The ship was ready to fake oft when Judy glanced through her window. Phil was running toward her, waving a yellow telegram, trying to attract her attention. She started to rise, but the belt held her securely in place. She tried to signal that he should for ward the message to the airport at Chicago. Whether ha understood or not she did not know. The huge transport was moving down the runway, gaining its freedom as it rose for a final circling of the field. A star or two shot through the darkness and found its reflec tion in the seaplane basin. There were transports everywhere, some that would leave swiftly, some that waited for another day. Per haps if she had come with Sandy nothing would have happened. Only, no one would have ap proved such a trip, unless ah and Bandy were married at the City Hall or the Little Church Around the Comer before the westward trek began. And that nlsht mhm had sot been sure.

There was a moment's delay as n prepared to release Its pas sengers. She gathered her pocket book, bag, and the extra coat and hurried down the steps. A messenger boy was calling her same. So Phil had caught her signal and relayed her mes sage, she handed file boy ruer ter and hurried to the comer of a long coffee counter. Her fingers trembled as she tore the as yelope's flap. She read: DARLING STOP AM PER FECTLY SAFE STOP DE LAY OF NO IMPORTANCE STOP I LOVE YOU SANDY Suddenly the other casseattra seated at the counter became aware that the girl in the cursla suit had gold candles in her violet eyes, that her hair was like fire light, her eyebrows and her gay red mouth flew upward. She) moved as though she belonged to wings and high winds. All this, because she had read a message on a telegraph blank. There was such a brief space from grief to Paradise, such a brief space from world's end to world's beginning. Sandy had said, "I love you" . . . sped the) three words on shining wings so she could smile again , . .and now all skies were bright and every outgoing liner a magic carpet primed for heaven. Because she had seen no pacers for several hours, Judy hurried to a news stand and asked for sev eral. She verified the time of her plane's departure, then sat down to read any new words about the tall young aviator with bright rough hair and a crooked grin. Suddenly the paper . rustled. would have slid to the floor if she hadn't pulled it back. There was Sandy's picture, a news picture that she had always liked. Sear, lovable, laughing. But there was another picture with it, under the same heading the picture of a girl's face, surrounded by hair that undoubtedly was golden.
