Chapter Four
En Route To The Airport
JT WAS Lola Hopkins, the girl re
porter, who helped Sally to make
t-r decision. Sally had paused on the
steps of the Courier building when
Lola hailed her with loud cheer.
"Let's go to lunch what say?"
-All right," agreed Sally. "I was
Just trying to decide whern to eat"
Lola led the way to a small lunch
room that Sally had never noticed be
fore. They both ate hungrily till the
, plate lunches were disposed of. Then
tLola turned her sharp black eyes on
Sally.
"Say, how'd you like t go to a
movie tomorrow night and dance af
terwards at the Lake Pavilion? You
bring Terry Maynard and I'll bring
my friend. We can go in my car."
'You know Terry?" Sally was
somehow startled. He hau never men
tioned Lola.
"I live next door to his folks on
Riverview Heights," explained Lola.
"Eve. been to see them?"
"Yes," said Sally. "A law times.
She had liked the Maynards well.
Cheerful Mrs. Maynard sewed tc help
make a living. The house was always
littered with scraps of material and
the younger children's school books
and toys, but Mrs. Maynard never
seemed to mind the untidiness or the
children's noise. Mr. Maynard ran a
garage. He was tall and broad and had
Terry's blue eyes.
'The Maynards are pretty swell
oiks." said Lola. "They don't mingle
much In Warrenton society, but
they've got the stuff H takes to get
ahead. Came down from the moun
tains with four kidc to bring up and
educate. They've all worked hard and
now tney've got their own place, and
th garage. Sent Terry to flying
school "
"They're awfully proud of him."
They've got a right to be," af
firmed Lola. "He'f going to have the
guts to get out of this little puddle
and make something of himself." Sally
was silent and Lola added, "What
about that movie?"
Lola Offers Advice

! slowly
"Going with nlm?"
I don't know," said Sally. "I've
piomised not to go up with him again
soon. My my stepmother doesn't
want me to."
"They're always llkti that about fly

way. 1 lust go where 1 please, and If
she don't like where I'm going 1 go
anyway and bring her back a present
afterwards. She gets over It"
"You always do what you want,
con't you?" asked Sally suddenly.
"Just about, 1 guess."
1 almost never do," confessed
Sally. 'There are always so many
other people to be considered."
"You'll never get anywhere If you
figure like that Take my advice and
So with Terry if you want to."
"I'm going to," said Sally, with sud
den decision.
As soon as she reached the office,
aha called Terry before she had time
to change her mind.

warmed her. "Be ready about seven

TRAGEDY OF T. B.

DENVER, Dre. 3. (AP) A little
girl of nine came to the want-ad de

(Pout) today, weklng a horn.
She Mid she w.is June Davis and
that her mother, Mrs. June Ague
Davis, had aent her. A note she car

"I never ;h ought for one minute
you meant what you faia about not
going flying with him again," said
Mrs. Warjrew
"1 didn't mean to go again soon,"
said Sally. "Honestly."
"It's one and the sam thing," said
Mrs. Warren. "You'll keep on going
till one of you gets killed. 1 don't
know how I'm to bear the worry

'Don't be silly, Mom," said Tip.
Terry Maynard's one of the best
pilots around here." She turned to
Sally eagerly "What's lerry going
. Greensboro for? Do you think he'd
let me go?"
"It's Terry' . secret, ' said Sally.
"I'll ask him his old secret and
ha'U tell me. too," pouted Tip.
Sally said nothing, although she
rather thought Tip. could get the se
cret out of Terry easily enough. At
any rate, Tip had distracted Mrs.
Wart en's attention from Sally, and
the row fine had feared seemed
averted.
Tip Begs For A Ride
7 'HE next svenlng Sally was ready
and waiting when Terry's dis
reputable old car pulled up. Sally
gavr a last look at herself in the mir
ror. She knew she looked very well
in the new blue suit, with vellow
blouse and hat to match.
As usual, Terry failed to notice
Saiiy' clothes. 'All set?" he demand
ed "We don't want to be late meet
ing the big guy."
"Of course not," jalr. Sally, taking
two steps to Terry's one as he hur
ned hjr down the path. They climbed
Into the car and Terry was just start

down the path.
Hey, wait a mmutel Terry will
you take me, too?" begged Tip shame
lessly
"Not this time," said Terry "Busi
ness tonight"
What are you going for? demand
ed Tip, avoiding Sally's reproachful
eye.
Tell you later, said Verry. "Get
off the running board, now; we're in
hurry.
''Will you take me up Saturday af
ternoon?" demanded Tip
Yeah sure J will,' said Terry.
Move, now." The car started with a
Jerk, but Tif. leaped off nimbly and
stood there waving.
I don t know whatever will be
come of Tip," said Sally. "She's such
a wild creature.
"I wouldn't worry about her," said
l'erry. "She can probably take care
of herself better than you can. Grow-
inp up into a darned pretty girl, too.
Sally was glad when Terry turned
Into the unpaved country road that
led to the airport. Here their way lay

then they passed a farm house, and
caught the scent of lilacs, or the

hand had reached out and covered

there's something I've got to say to

Sally was sile.it, afralo to speak lest

shiver half regret, hall excitement,
she saw the signal lights of the flying
field before them.
