It was a rougn trip, with the
plane flying into a strong head
wind. But at 135 a. ra. the pilot
beckoned to Dawson and the lat
ter squeezed his way past the
large inside gasoline tank installed
for the transatlantic flight
"We're over Dorval now," the
pilot yelled. "Sorry it took so long
that wind was plenty stiff."
Dawson hurried to the TCA air
port office.
Outside the doorway, a man
stepped out of the shadows. It was
a Montreal bureau officer.
"I've got your ticket here
thought you might not want to go
inside because the girl is waiting
with the other passengers , . ."
"Nice going," Dawson cut in,
"go inside and tell the dispatcher
all's set for the take-off anytime,
and I've gone directly to the
plane. You hand in my ticket
they usually pick them up at the
desk."
Dawson heard the flight an
nouncement on the loudspeaker
and (aw the passengers filing
through the door.
Carole Fiske came out alone.
Dawson swung Into stride be
side her.
"Hello," he said simply.
Carole Fiske halted in conster
nation as she recognized Dawson.
But she quickly recovered her
poise. One hand slipped out of
her muff and she held it close to
her body. In it was a snub-nosed
automatic:
"Don't try to stop me from tak
ing this plane, mister, or you're a
dead pigeon I swear it'."
Dawson laughed. "The surest
way of missing your plane would
be to shoot me here, sweetheart.
Instead of trying to stop you I'm
actually making the Jaunt in the
next seat chummy, eh?"
The girl was obviously suspi
cious. Keeping the gun trained on
him she hid it with her muff.
"Very well, let's go!" she com
manded in lowered tone.
y7HKN they reached the side of
" the waiting TCA plane, Carole
Fiske slowed her pace and gave
an almost imperceptible gesture
with her head for Dawson to
mount the movable stairway first
"Emily Post wouldn't approve,"
grinned Dawson.
On the second step he stopped
suddenly as from the corner of his
eye he caught a quick movement
a man had slipped up silently
behind the girl and pinned her
arms.
"Drop that gun!" he snarled in
to her ear. It was the Montreal
agent and Dawson had completely
forgotten about him. Of course
the agent had picked up the bit
of side-drama outside the waiting
room and . . . Dawson heard the
hostess coming through the plane
door, evidently attracted by the
commotion. This was no time for
delicacy.
Jumping lightly from the second
step, he punched hard and true
over the girl's shoulder straight
into the agent's face. The latter
reeled back, stumbled and piled
into the snowdrift. Dawson made
a flying leap and landed squarely
on the stunned man,,
"Never mind the poke Daw
son hissed, "act as if you are
drunk and we're going in for a
little horseplay , . ,"
Both men began grunting and
laughing as they rolled, Dawson
finally yelling in a tone of mock
surrender:
"Enough . . . enough . . . you
got me, Joe."
They rose to their feet brushing
the snow off their clothes. Carole
Fiske was obviously amazed but
she took a quick glance at the
frowning hostess and played her
part:
"Come on, darling," she spoke
impatiently, "the plane is waiting
send your frisky friend on' his
way."
With apparent unsteadiness,
Dawson followed up the steps,
checked in with the hostess and
sat down heavily in his seat. The
girl and he had the two end
spaces.
She was staring at him coldly.
"Nice way to treat a Boy Scout
pal doing his good deed," she
commented crisply, "but why did
you wreck it?"
Dawson took from his pocket
an object which he tossed into her
lap. It was the snub-nosed auto
matic. "You dropped it outside," he
said. "Now come again with the
$36 question."
Carole Fiske shoved the gun
into her purse, frankly bewildered.
"I asked you why you wrecked
an excellent opportunity to turn
the tables on me out there?"
Dawson puckered his lips and
tapped his fingers together
thoughtfully:
"Maybe it's because I like to see
good-looking pirls given a chance
to achieve their ultimate ambition
in life. You, for example . . ." he
turned to face her squarely, "seem
to have the burning and laudable
purpose of killing me off. You
put me on the spot in Chicago,
then you threaten to make me a
dead pigeon out here I'd never
forgive myself if I didn't let you
kill me sometime. But, mean
while . . ." his tone changed, "if
you start playing with that pea
shooter again I'll turn you over
my knee. Understand, my little
lamb?"
