CHAPTER II
ENGAGED
pAT sat fur on the edge of her
chair, as If poised for flight
Her eyes were wide; and beauti
ful, as always.
. "I just just well, your secre
tary didn't seem to be here, so "
"Miss Stuart Is often late for
work. Confound Itl"
"Is she? I mean well, then,
"And so you Just took charge
ot the waiting applicants, with a
little artistic bluffing.". Jimmy
Carr'a grin was appreciative and
broad. -
. -ices, sir."
: . "Miss Friday, were you aeuc
'erately trying to show your source
mind?" - ' "
: "No, sir. I mean "
"Blushing becomes you, did you
know that?" .
.' "Oh!"
"Youremlnd me of my little
'els, back home."
.; "Oh." , ; .
: "you don't need characterref-
rences, I can read your charac
ter. And you look healthy as an
Army mule." ,
'. "Oh!" )",,-,:
; ""Yes, sir: No. sir: Oh-oh-oh
. How you do chatter, Miss Friday!"
..iuuuiy vurr laugnea out loua.
. .Then he resumed the inquisition.
l' "Whnt coUpm ffrnrliiabv! . vnn.
ma'am?" .
; That stymied Pat Friday. She
hadn't been through any college.
- There had been one year and part
-of another before the funds ran
out, but v . '
r She swallowed, thinking .fast!
.'His want ad yesterday had speci
fied college graduates. "
"I hardly ever carry a diploma
in my purse." She was stalling
for time again. , . . .
:. He jabbed a pencil at her.
"Listen, it doesn't matter. I paid
$10 for mine, see, to be sure it
was genuine sheepskin. I paid
$10 more for a leather case to
roll It in.. Know where it's been
all these six years since? In an
attic trunk back at Great Bend.
i'Kan. Nobody's ever asked to see
it yet!, what's your full- name?"
' ' "Patricia Friday." So he was
a westerner I with graceful move
ments and deep brown eyes.
,TWere you a rancher out there?
'. He looked at her,' smiling again.
"I'm asking the questions. But
tne answer is yes." ..
' "Are you terribly angry at me,
Mr. Carr?"
"Nope." . He was writing on a
lorm. -
"I was I guess I was awfully
nervy."
trtr n
. ... -
"What did you mean by soar
. tog?."
..
; TIE turned to her again, studied
. her in fresh astonishment
"You mean you don't know?
. Honest?"
"The dictionary it-"
"Soaring isn't in many dic
tionaries yet Not our kind. It's
the same as. gliding, only more
so." '
Their eyes held, until he smiled
again.
"You remember Crete," he went
on. "The Germans took it with
paratroops dropped out of gliders.
Gliders, see? Airplanes without
motors. Soaring is flying in those
planes. Only "
"Oh i . . OH!" ",
He caught her heightened In
terest .
"Mmmml Sounds exciting, eh?
Okay, Miss Friday, it is! I'm here
to tell you soaring is more fun
than power flying. Easier, and
safer, too. Now look "
HiB boyish enthusiasm had him
again. For five minutes he lec
tured Pat and she was a fasci
nated pupil. .. He leaned close to
iic swayea oacjt, aescriDing
things with his hands. It was a
mere five minutes, but that was
long enough for Pat to feel some
thing brand-new welling within
her. Moreover, it was a grand
something. She hadn't time to
understand it fully, but it was the
most delightful, most exalting
feeling she had ever known!
Soaring? It had to do with air
craft yes; but it had to do with
her own consciousness, too! Jim
mie Carr had sent her spirits soar
ing sky high.
YOU'RE hired." He turned
' abruptly to his desk again,
writing, "what's your age?"
.. "It's 22."
"Mmm. Height?"
"Five feet one. Almost two.
Maybe T. could" :
, "Weight?" . '
"I'm dieting. I think I can
make "
He wrinkled his nose at her,
Impishly grinning. "Ninety-five?"
; "Oh, nol It's 99!"
"Mmm! Fat lady!".
"I want to gain."
"Married?" ;
"Goodness no! I moan no!"
"Plain 'No'." Ho chuckled. "Any
encumbrances?" ; '
"No. I I'm an orphan. Broth
er's in the Navy. We "
"Typing? Shorthand? Dlda-J
phone?" .
"Yes, air."
"Fifty a week, and it'll be hard
work for a while, Miss Friday,
t may take you right out to El
tnir with us.". ., . i

"Elmira?"
"Down state here, not far. El
mira, N. Y is called the soaring
capital of America. Nice town.
But we're expanding fast, all over
the nation. Don't mind travel?" -"No!
I'd love itl" - '
"Good! Now I must warn
you"
Pat stopped him, with a motion
of her hand. . "Mr. Carr, those
other girls waiting outside I
cant plav dirty!" ,
"Hmm?" He waited..
"I did sort of barge in ahead
of them. I mean, that act of mine
taking their names and all
look, talk to all of them and then
decide if you can hire me! You
understand?"
He sat back in his swivel chair,
studying her. His smile was gen
tler now. Less teasing. More re
spectful. Pat felt like a heel.
He might have said more, but
the office door opened and a tall
new girl came in. Instantly there
was a touch ot fragrance in the
room, new fragrance. And a very
air of superior quality!
The new one was like a thing
from the fashion pages. Statu
esque. Coot Perfectly poised, and
perfect to look at As if Pat never
even existed, she came around the
desk to Jimmy Carr, leaned over
and kissed him twice.
"Jim-mee! Darling!" It was
sheer music, no less.
Jim Carr returned her kiss, but
he was getting to his feet, too.
In a moment he was saying, "Lo
raine, this ul. Miss Friday, may
I present Miss Stuart." He was,
a trifle awkward and formal with
it "Miss Stuart is not only the
office secretary here, she uh
she and I are engaged. Loraine
will be going to Elmira with us.
I'm sure you two kids will e
great friends!"

Wc have had too much of a
