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.

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.

"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. Her lovely face
wmo uuuucu wnen tney reacned
hjc cfipuit, uuu even uie prospect
of her solo flight and the joy of
an entirely new and very effective
flying suit and helmet did not lift
her spirits.
Dick's cheery greeting, his air
of confident expectancy as he
helped her with her flying prepa
rations changed her mood, and by
the time she was ready for the
take-off, flying was of prime im
portance to her.
