Chapter Three Terry Asks A Question CALLY was soon so busy she forgot everything but her work. A few minutes before on the phone rang and Sally, answering In her newly ac quired business-voice, was greeted with a hearty laugh from Terry May nard. "Not an Item for the paper," sala Terry. "Will you have lunch with me In ten minutes?" "Of course. I was just wondering where and when I'd have it" "Good. There's something impor tant I want to ask you." Its r d humor and he pi. . with a fork sulkily. Sally thought how like he was to Hay when something crossed him. She loved him for jeing boyish and rough and for being large and blond and unlike the men in her own family. But she was not ready to say she loved him. "Don't be silly." "All right" Terry threw oft his dls appointment. "Listen. Sally, this Is what 1 wanted to ask you will you go with me to Greensboro Thursday night while I talk to old Cates? Will you, Sally? I can talk him Into any thing If you're along." "Oh, Terry" Sally, remembering her promise that morning, was swept by depression as swift as Terry's. "You won't do It, then." Terry glow ered at her, hurt and angry. "You don't care whether I get the Job or not" "You don't understand. 1 promised Mother " "Oh, hang! What's the matter with her, now7 Does she think I'm going to tailspin with you all the way to Greensboro?" "It's It's Tip," said Sally miserably "She's afraid I'm getting Tip Inter ested in flying." "What if you are? Snap out of it Sally. The kids are big enough to dc what they please, pow. Show a littli will of your own, why don't you?' Terry spoke Irritably. "You're the only thing that's keeping me," said Terry. "You mustn't ask me Important things at lunch." Sally was alarmed whenever Terry hinted at important questions. She was not ready for him to ask her to marry him, but she liked knowing that he wanted to iu her. "I promise not to spoil your ap petite," said Terry. "Let's celebrate and go to the Lanier what say?" That's extravagant A drug store would do." "The Lanier m pick you up In ten minutes." At one Sally followed the girl re porter, Lola Hopkins, to the small washroom at the back of the build ing. It was dirty, but Lola didn't seem to mind. While Sally pinned up her nair, uia apiasnea aboul washing liar race and rubbing It briskly with e paper towel. When Sally powdered her nose, Lola looked on with some scorn. "Never use make-up," she said, "un less it's a little powder In hot weather. Never found It Improved my looks any. They want down the stairs together. "Take you anywhere?" ottered Lola. "Somebody's coming for me," said Bally. "Thanks lust the same." "I get you," said Lola. "Her he la. Bee you another time." Terry Maynard was unmistakably heading for Sally. His disreputable old car was panting at the curb. "Hi therel How does It feel In be e working woman?" Terry called. "Not to loud. Terry." said Sally, who could never calm him down into semblance of lespectablllty. "I'll let you know when 1 get my Brat pay check." "We'll go on a spree." said Terry Terry's 'Big News' rpilEY went o(! gaily to the Lanier Hotel. Warrenton'e on big hotel, and Terry ordered lunch axtrava gantly. "At least I'm glad 1 didn't offer to feed you out of my flrst pay-check.' said Sally. "Now tell me. what's the news?" "Big news. You know I wrote to old man Willis Cates who was bom in Warrenton and who's all mixed up with this Un in South America and asked him for 1 Job?" "Yes yes." said Sally breathlessly. "Well, he's on his way now to New York, he's going to fly through Greensboro Thursday night and he'll spend his half hour stor -er at the airport with mel" 1 What does it mean, Terry, for you?" "Maybe 1 can talk him Into a lob. If I don't It's the army for m." "You want to go away, don t you?" "You'r th only thing that's been keeping me." said Terry. "Don't not now, Terry, please." said Sally. "All rlcht. 1 promised not 10 spoil rour appeUle, didn't I?" His face lost "Let's go," said Sally. "We cant quarrel In here." Without speaking, they left the hotel and got in the car. When they reached the Courier building, Terry said. "My big news didn't get much of a break." "Don't, Terry. You know 1 didn't mean to" "If you chango your mind about go ing." said Terry, "you can call me up tomorrow at the airport or the ga rage. So long." Without a smile, he got Into the car and drove oft, leaving Solly staring forlornly after him. Hampered By Her Promise WORK, Sally dlscovorcd, cannot ' absorb all one's thoughts, even though It be Interesting. All next morning while she typed and took telephone messages at her desk, she heard those parting words of Terry's: "If you change your mind" She did want to go. Of that Sally was sure. She had not been flying with Terry many times, but she trusted him utterly. Besides, Terry had said he needed her to stand by him while he interviewed old Mr. Cates for the South American lob. Sally was uied to Terry's need for her. Since their high school days when ane naa neiped him with his English and talked him into having confidence In his debating powers, Torry hnd relied on Sally's advice and Biinport. Sally, In turn, had found a warm ex citement In Terry's boyish admiration for her. Her occasional flights with Terry had been a welcome break In the routine of her tedious home duties and the round of villniio parties. Always when Sally went up In Tcrry'a plane there was conflict at home. Mrs. Warren hnd never ap proved of Terry. She did not think flying a career, and she wns alarmed at the Interest Tip showed In It She blamed Sally for the times Tip slip ped away and went flying with Duke Adams, a younger boy who worked In the Maynard inrage. Useless to ex plain to Tip that Duke Adams was lesi skilled and less responsible than Terry Maynard. Because Snllv knew Tip was developing a mania for fly ing, ane naci impulsively promised het stepmother not to go up herself with Terry, without permission. Yet It was absurd that Sallv War ren, at 22. should not be free to de cide things for herself. One moment Sally had her hand on the telephone reaoy to call Terry and say she would go up with him. The next Instant she would pumi the phone from her. un. able to entire the prospect of anothet row at home. fCopyrtoM, lJ.

France, Sweden, Russia and Auatrln, Europe,' "Reven Ye;ira War," was the moat ruinous struggle fought on the continent until the time of Napoleon. Claiming the lives of about a half million men, the war started In 1704 with the apparent Intention of the dismemberment of Pruaala by the allied powers of France, Russia and Sweden, Austria and Saxony. Prus sia allied herself with England but received little support from that na tion. Cities wore razed and the coun tryside pillaged before the onslaught of the opposing war machines. Yet, at the end of the conflict.

Amer ica's, fought by England against the French and their Indian allies, last ed eight years, Europe's lasted only six find a half years. Both ended on the same day . . . with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. The Illiterate Czar. Sharing the title with his feeble brother, Ivan, Peter I became Cznr of Russia at the aco of ten, upon the Ut-Niuht 8rdttU. Us death of his eldest brother, Feodor III, In 1682. Actually so poorly educated that he had not even learned to read or write until five years after he had asecuded the Russian throne, Peter developed a tremendous thirst for knowledge. Touring Europe in 1697, he observ ed how backward his country was In comparison with other nations of the continent, and returned to Russia to inaugurate a sweeping series of re forms. During his reign he founded numerous schools, Imported the most modern methods of agriculture and Industry and did much to make his backward country Join the march of civilization.
