' CHAPTER IV
CATUEDAY morning Judy Alcott
awoke with a heavy sense of
; something unpleasant impending.
1 And then the remembered. Today
' was the day she was going with
Dwight to meet his fiancee.
1 Dwight came (or her at a quar
ter of ten. He was radiant, and
his gladness was an added affront
But she tried hard to act glad,
too. Only, sitting beside him on
the way to Lindbergh Field, she
couldn't help remembering their
dates, the way they had kissed.
She had no business to "feci this
way about a man who was going
to marry somebody else.
Lindbergh Field, one of the larg
est in the country, had once been
an Experimental Navy Field, she
remembered. She looked at the
admipistration buildings, at the
wide expanse of landing area, and
at the three huge airliners lined
up behind the wire fence.
Diane was always saying she
wished Bill had a nice, safe trans
port job. But it wasnt really
safe, either, Judy knew. A man
in pilot's gray came out of one of
the ships. Judy wondered if his
wife, too, worried when he was
away. Diane made light of it, but
Judy knew how the dark night
hours tormented her when the
fleet was away at sea.
With Dwight, an engineering of
ficer on a battlewagon. Marvel
would never have to worry. Judy
hated herself for the way her eyes
clung to him. She didn't want to
see his lean, graceful height, she
didn't want to see the way his eyes
were alight with happiness. If that
mile were for her but it wasn't
"Steady, Judy," she said to her
eK. AT ten thirty the great silver
"ship came ut of the sky and
asrded for a landing. They
watched it powerful, swift, beau
tiful beyond description. And then
it was taxiing to the apron, and
almost as soon as the propellers
topped whirling, the cabin door
was flung open and on the steps
ttte porter had rolled up, a girl
was standing.
She would be the first one out.
Judy nought
She had red heir, this vision in
fee cabin door. A trim tailored
tuit, a magnificent silver fox, and
little hat of engaging, knowing
smartness, with a stiff red and
gray feather.
i Dwight shouted, "Marvel!" and
can toward her. Judy stood still.
waiting for them to have their
.greetings over with. Dwight kissed
iier. The hostess who had come
out of the plane smiled. A couple
of descending passengers grinned,
and young man who had evl'
dently become friendly with her
since they met in the airliner's
cabin called, "Goodby, Miss
Bastings. Happy Landing, isn't
It?"
And then Dwight was bringing
Marvel toward her. His hand was
under her elbow. He was acting
as though she were spun glass, and
precious beyond price.
"Darling, this is Judy Alcott
You know I wrote you about her.
Her father's Admiral Alcott. Judy,
uus is Marvel." He added in a
burst of happiness, "I hope you
two are going to like each other.
Z know you will!"
But Marvel's odd green eyes
were resting on Judy appraisingly,
and Judy was suddenly glad she'd
worn the tie silk dress and her
new shoes. Marvel took in the
smoothly brushed, blond hair, the
heart shaped face, the blue eyes
with their shining fringe of lashes.
"Oh, Dwight I didn't know she
was blond or I'd never have
trusted you!" she laughed.
Dwight laughed, too. Judy
could only smile.
'They were so silly about bag
gage!" Marvel said, as Dwight

went into the building to get her
things. "They charged me for
overweight and I "got the newest
linen luggage so everything would
be light." ,
"It must have been what you
put into the bags.'WIudy said.
"Goodness, just nothing! There
are some trunks coming by ex
press." Judy thought of her one evening
gown, which she wore over and
over. Marvel probably had ten.
MT"VE decided I want to stay at
a hotel until until " Marvel
said, when they were in the car.
They were squeezed very tightly,
Dwight under the wheel and Mar
vel next to him, and Judy Jammed
against the door handle.
"If you only knew some Navy
people, vou could be visiting them
for the few days" Dwight ven
tured. ,
"Few days?" Marvel laughed.
"I've got so much to do! Clothes
and all. And won't there be par
ties for the bride? And there are
some people ln asking to the
wedding, in Los Angeles, and I
promised I'd stay a week before I
get married."
Dwight looked somewhat dashed.
Judy tried not to be glad. What
difference did it make right
away, or in a few weeks he was
hers, and not Judy's.
She said to Marvel, before
Dwight dropped her at the house,
"You must meet my mother and
Dad, Miss Hastings. And all the
Navy family, too. Do come to
night I'll ask a few people."
"Yes," said Dwight eagerly. "I
want you to meet everybody.
honey. You know, well be living
among them, and there's nothing
like getting off on the right foot"
Judy felt again that unwilling
dislike for Dwight's calculating
strategy.
"But don't you want me all to
yourself tonight?" pouted Marvel.
"You know I do! But honey, I
want everybody to see you. YouH
bowl 'em over."
l JARVEL would be at the Coro
nado. The most exclusive
and expensive! hotel in town. It
was a good place for Dwight's
girl, Judy thought All the high
est ranking naval officials stayed
there, and Navy parties frequently
were held in its huge Gold Room.
She explained to her mother,
who went to the phone and asked
Mrs. Lane, Mrs. Rowland and Mrs.
Dunn at once. Judy herself tele
phoned Jack Hanley and two
young lieutenants who worked in
her father's office. She called
Diane, but Diane said regretfully,
"Sorry! Bill's off on duty. I can't
make it"
A few minutes later the phone
pealed. It was Mrs. Lane. "The
ship's going out some sudden or
ders. Nobody will be able to come,
Mrs. Alcott."
"This is Judy," said Judy, "111
tell mother. We didn't know."
She had a vision of Dwight being
ordered to sea while Marvel
waited for him to call for her at
the Coronado.
Sure enough, he called a few
minutes later. "I guess you've
heard. I've got to go. Listen,
Judy, Marvel doesn't understand.
She thinks I can give an excuse
and not go. Will you please go
down to the hotel for me and ex
plain to her? I only talked to her
a few minutes. We're shoving
off."
Judy's lnsldes felt cold. She
didn't want to explain to Dwight's
future wife that the Navy came
first that he simply had to obey
the call of duty. Any girl in her
senses would understand that
without any explanations! She re
membered the other girl's cool
self-confidence, her look of accus
tomed arrogance.
Dwight was begging her des
perately, "Please, Judy. I hated
to hang up on her, but I just knew
if I asked you, you'd rush over
and explain to her."
"All right" saM Judy. And to
herself she said, "You fool!"
