CHAPTER XII TlfOMENTS 'were precious. l,J- Thinking desperately, Anne wished the had a gun. And In the same moment wondered if she would have been able to use it. The only gun she had ever used In her life was a water gun, "a squirt gun" they'd called them "A water gun, a squirt gun" of what was she trying to think? The Are extinguishers! A per fect weapon. There were small hand extinguishers in all hangars, i if only by some miracle there was I one near her and she could find It in the darkness. Cautiously she reached along the wall, moving forward as she did so, and in a moment her hand touched the sought-for metal con tainer. With quick, silent move ments she took it down and crept toward the three men. As she drew near, she could make out the man holding the gun directly at Dick, and she could see Tony beside the ship. She moved more cautiously than ever, around the side of the plane until she was within a few feet of the men. She lifted the fire extin guisher, and with a prayer that she d not miss her mark, turned the full force of the chemical at Jumps Daley. He gave a choked, gasping cry, and the gun dropped noisily onto the floor, as he collapsed. Dick almost automatically had the gun off the floor and In his own hand. and Anne's voice frightened asked: "Dick! Are you all right?' Tony saw his own danger, fled from the hangar, taking advantage of Dick's distraction as he turned to Anne. She was conscious again of that terrible throbbing in her head. She was half aware of men com' tng into the hangar, and of Dick's arms catching her as she fell, a a a TJUT it was Georgette's voice which she first heard in her returning consciousness. "What could have happened?' Georgette was asking. "Why was she out here? She was at the house studying when I left" "I don't know what it's all - about" that was Dick's voice "but she evidently tried to stop those lugs from tampering with ' the ship. She stopped the whole ' business with a fire extinguisher!" The throbbing to Anne's head was lessening. She opened her eyes slowly and recognized the lounge of the administration i building. They must have carried I her there from the hangar. Some one was holding a bottle of am imonia to her nose, and gradually aba was feeling alive again. "Take it easy," Dick cautioned as ahe tried to sit up. "Oh, Anne, I'm so sorry." There was a sob in Georgette's voice. "What did they try to do to you?" 'Tm all right now," Anne tried to sound cheerful, "but what about 1 the ship? Where Is that man and what happened to Tony?" "Well have the ship thoroughly checked in the morning," Dick reassured her. "Tony got to hisi car and made a quick getaway, oui xne police are on his trail. The other has been taken to jaiL" "How did you happen to come out here? What were they going to do?" Georgette asked. Anne told them of the call from Clarice, her own drive to the air Port, her discovery of Tony and his accomplice, and of their knock ing her out and concealing her in a supply closet "I don't know how long I was in there," she explained, "but I had Just got out when I heard you whistling. Captain Douglas, as you came to the hangar door. You know the rest." rpHE response of stick ond rud der, and the Joy of realiung that she had made a very good take-on added to Anne's exhilara tion as she slowly put the ship into level flight. There was com plete satisfaction in the feeling that she was part of the ship, that they alone were in flight. After 10 minutes of entirely satisfying climbs and banks, with only one "bonehead trick" pushing for ward too heavily on the stick and sending the nose suddenly and steeply down she circled the Held for her landing. Rain clouds from a morning shower were still in the eastern sky, but the sun was shining, and the earth was vividly green and fresh. She thought of this as sha turned into the wind with the ship slowly losing altitude, and almost before she had time to worry about a perfect three-point land ing, her ship was eliding across the rain-drenched field. Unknowingly, she brought it to i a halt in a shallow puddle of water. She cut the switch and. juwung i rum uie cocitpii, saw Georgette happily waving to her, and Dick, a satisfied expression on his face, striding toward the plane. Her glorious sense of success was dimmed as she thought of his lack of interest in her as a per son. But she quickly unmapped the safety belt and stepped from the ship, determined to be coolly pleased as he greeted her. Chin up, eyes dancing, Anne Jumped out, slipped and fell into the pud dle of muddy water. The stun ning flying suit was soaked, her hands were filthy, and her face was splattered. Dick ran to her. crospuuc ner wrists ana netping "Good flight! Are her to her feet you hurt?" "No indeed!" She was trying to be haughty, and pushing him away. A look of relief came over his face, and before she could protest, his Rrasp on her wrists tightened and she w.n pulled into his arms. "You are wonderful," was all he said.

JT was a month later that Anne was scheduled for her first solo Sight She had worked at the ground courses harder than she ever had at any other studies. During her flight instructions, she naa Deen attentive and responsive. Dick Douglas admitted to him self that she had ability and good flying technique. She was utterly at ease in the ship, and she was Jignt on the controls. If at times she had been over-confident, the ensuing errors or judgment had taught her caution. Yes, she was rounding into first-class shape as a pilot Her increasing interest ana eninuslasm was keeping his own interest at a peak. Georgette brought Anne to the field on the day of her solo flight. "I couldn't possibly miss coming out with you," she told Anne. "And I believe that I'm happier over this than you are yourself." "You know I'm pleased," Anne reproved her, "and I only hope that I'll be able to show Dick Captain Douglas that I have learned. I guess he's still none too happy over having me as a stu dent; at any rate he certainly Is oblivious to me, except when he's instructing." Anne couldn't admit nerself, that she loved Dick Doug las and was piqued by his too evi dent indifference.
