Fop ordered. "The lads have worked, and they've got to rest, for at dawn again they'll be up flying." . " 7V-U go to aleep," she bossed kJm ; in turn. "Are you warm noa-"i?" "jraran." Hs'was as tired and depressed at his' "lads' and Blythe knew it Gently she pushed most ot the overcoat back over him. Since age t--that would be 16. years ago the bright-eyed miss had under-, stood this kindly man. So, too, did. the cadets understand him, and love him; he shared their wins-with hearty exuberance, and showed no false heartiness when' they lost. He was a-good coach;, Indeed, a great coach. I -Blythe closed her .eyes, feign ing sleep while the bus tires in-n-n-nged on the wet. asphalt and. rain slashed the window at her side. Passing car lights-turned droplets into momentary gems when Blythe. peeked.- She wasnt really sleepy herself. She seemed never .to be. She watched the sleet mix with the rain and come ticking against the glass in inter mittent dashes ot colder cold, so that unconsciously she snuggled . Pop a bit The bus heater wasn't any .too strong for this night in lata autumn. Presently, Pop snored. Blythe turned her head and peeked ex perimentally between the seats. Her pulse "quickened just a little. Scroonched down in the front seat this way, she could see diagonally and back to the place where Duane Hogan was riding. Big Duane. Fatigue seemed never to touch him, either. He sat al most .erect, rocking slightly with the rhythm of the bus, while most . of .the . boys sprawled or slumped ; grotesquely, courting sleep. She could see all. of his fine head. It was like a Greek god's, she thought; like that statue of one in 'the main library back at school. He was not smiling, His mind seemed far away; perhaps he was on the rolling hills ot his - homeland, his horse knee deep in lush bluebonnets .that froze the sky color in a-sea of flowers stretching untold miles. It was . this dreamy quality, which added gentleness and a strange beauty to Big Duane. When he sensed her gaze on - him- he turned toward her, and characteristically Blythe Miller winked.- Big . Duane did smile, then, very slowly. "Slowly and benevolently, dam It!" Blythe told herself. TOR two years now the big blind ox had treated her like a child! Courteous? Kind? Oh, Lord, yes, Blythe gritted out silently, think ing it all over again. It's awful, loving a man who adopts the role ot great silent ' Uncle Duane. Uncle! Blythe knew" it wasn't an act, though; Duane Hogan was really quiet But deep.- He seemed to.. typify those men of .the west one reads about in fact, or fiction, and he did indeed' come from a west Texas ranch. Maybe, Blythe sighed, he was far-and-away too good' for her, too grand. It was a thing to moon about Her winkhad hot been flirta tious, and both of them knew it; Blythe Miller would have slapped any man who accused her ot flirt ing! But it was an-invitation to be sociable, even so. Duane Hogan wrinkled his nose impishly at her. felythe edged away from her fa ther so as to kneel on her seat jihen "We make powwow." she sla- ' Baled, using Indian signs Duane himself had taught her. She (Minted to the rear. i Not Duane, but another young hi an stood up. . He had been alert two seats to her rear. In a mo ment he leaned across the sleep ing Fop Miller and whispered. i "You're lonesome, Bly, and so fcm I. Let's go way back and have a cigaret." j1 She didn't want a cigaret Pop loroaae smoking now. anyway- end she didn't want to talk to Norman Dana. But, too, she didn't want to seem rude. I They stepped over khaki legs Wnd duffel to get back there. Piqued at Duane for slowness, she studiously ignored him as she passed, then she sat with Norman on the rearmost seat that curved blear across the bus. No one else Was here. "You shouldn't smoke In train ing," 'Blythe murmured, looking r not at him but out at the stormy narkness. i ."Have to let down after a lick- : Ing," said he. "Anyway the hell j with it We're not in school now." "But you're in flying school! A i cadet! Thats even more impor tant, Norman." ! "I can already fly. I could do that when I came here. It's the licking 15 to 0 stings, Bly. We never took much of that at State U. We played tops football. To let a, bunch of rookies push us around like they did this after noon' TIE broke off in disgust His ; xl manner said much. His high, dean forehead, his sensitive lips, tn whole Barrymore profile and hauteur of him were tinged now -. 'With cockiness and conceit He was nbt in truuV.a man to "take" a licking. Blythe knew mat hav ing to swallow one did tilings to his pride. But he didn't nurse the mood long; instead, he turned to her direct and smiled in Norman Dana's own devastating way. "I wanted to talk about you; you, Bly," he murmured. "You know Tm crazy about you, don't you, hmm?" She answered him, flat tone. "I ought to. You've told me enough." "Then you'll marry me? Now? TomorrowV ( "Don't be a dope." ' She felt his quick anger again. "Listen, Bly, you can't do tills to me." "I'm not doi-ig anything to any-. body, Norman. I like you, and I think you're nice, and I knov you can make a perfectly good aviator as well as a quarterback, but this is not the time to" "Hogan is still hounding you. Isn't he." It was a statement, not a question. Rlvthe's eves flashed now. It was her turn for anger. ' "Duane Hogan hounds nobody i and you know it! It's a stupid : thing for you to say. And if I'd , thought you were going to quar- , rel, then " ; She turned to the storm-kissed I window, one knee pulled up under j her in manner like a little girl. No man could help being acutely conscious of her beauty, her grace. No man honesty in his heart j could ' help wanting to touch Blythe Miller, to hold the sott ! sweet youth of her. Norman stretched down the seat to take j her arm. Blythe stood up indignantly as 1 if to leave him, but the bus driver ! intent on home and bed slith- j ered around a curve. Blythe was ! thrown off balance. j For a moment Norman Dana held her cjose, too close; ostensibly to keep her from falling. Then on quick impulse he smiled and kissed her full on her cherry-red lips. . The two lips parted In aston ishment Furious, she ,-nuld have told him plenty in tho next min ute or two, but SCBEE-E-E-E- . . . SLAM! It could have been lightning itself which struck the bus, far with the screech were blinding lights and thunder. Blythe vres thrown headlong with Norman. She fought for her senses, held them. But terror gripped her soul when she smelled gasoline burn ing, then heard a child's frantic wailing and a woman's scream.
