LANGUID AND LATE
CHAPTER VII
THHE transcontinental soaring
flisht was to start tomorrow
morning nt 11 o'clock. And to
night at 1, Copt. Jinimy Carr and
his secretary were still huddling in
the field office building. Three
other office workers had stayed to
help them.
"All right, that's that," Jimmy
snapped, eventually. "Route's
clear, down to the last notch. First
stop at Cleveland, next at Chi
cago, then St. Louis, Kansas City,
Wichita, angle back up to Denver,
cut southward again to Phoenix,
and hit the Pacific at San Diego."
He was studying a map for the
millionth time.
"What about Great Bend, Kan.?"
Pat asked.
Jimmy grinned. "I'd like to
drop in on mother, at that."
"Capt. Kansas Carr! Did state
pride have anything to do with
your choosing two Kansas towns?"
"They're aviation centers. Don't
be insubordinate, Private Friday!"
"You're really awful."
"I oughta court-martial you.
Maybe 1 will."
"Hush. What about your
money?"
"Money?" He looked blank.
"Yes, money, Captain. M-O-N-E-Y!"
She spelled it. "Even you,
soaring down on top of city roofs
and such, will need some money
in hand. To eat on, and buy hotel
rooms, and . . . and "
"Lordy, Pat! I never thought of
that!"
So, between one and two in the
morning, . Pat Friday in a com
mandeered peep tore around El
mira cashing checks. She man
aged to get together about $200 in
bills. At least that detail would
be off her mind lor tomorrow.
' "Now, mister," she challenged
him again, just after 2 a. r.i. "It is
assumed of course that your per
sonal luggage is all packed. You
can wear nothing but dress uni
forms you know, because you'll
have to be showing oft constantly.
John Q. Public will demand that
arou look nice. Or his wife wilL
anyway. Your mustache needs
trimming on the left. And you
, could stand a hair cut."
- She was - standing across his
desk, looking down at him. He
swallowed, helplessly. 'Tat, you
lordy!"
She gave an exaggerated sigh.
'"Come on," she ordered. "You re
mind me of my brother."
. She and the peep driver, who
was sort of special man for Cap
tain Carr, served as valets for him.
They rolled up to his quarters and
went quietly in. And for an hour
they all had fun packing his
things. Pat even trimmed the mus
tache, and the hair around his
ears. Then when she went to the
peep to be driven to her' own
home, she paused for a moment
"Jimmy," she said, quietly, "I
I'm not teasing or anything, now.
Tomorrow morning everybody
will be too busy for words, but
want you to know we're for you.
Good sailing, Jimmy, and good
by." She held out her hand and
he squeezed it.
"Lordy, Pat," he murmured.
Plainly, he was touched.
: "Goodby, Jimmy . . . Goodby!"
The peep moved away, and Pat
felt that the parting was a vale
dictory, an end of a grand, glori
ous something that could never be
again.
MISS LORAINE STUART had
an appointment at the hair
dresser's at 8:30 this morning. It
was earlier than she liked to do
such things, but this was a spe
cial occasion, and she'd need time
to be groomed her very best. One
of the news reel companies, it had
been announced, would film the
entire flight story in full color.
She was out of the beauty shop
by 9:30, and she went rather lei
surely to her apartment. From her
bedroom window she could look
across two roadways and onto the
Double Eagle Soaring Field a mile
beyond. But Martha, the colored
girl who helped in the house here
and doubled as Loraine's maid,
was much more excited than Lo
raine. "Mm, mm," Martha grunted,
genially. "Miss Loraine, you got
to hurry yourself up. Just look
over there already!"
Loraine deigned to glance out
the window. "Quite a crowd gath
ering," she confessed. "Odd, that
so many people would be inter
ested in such a little thing."
That last was sheer pretense and
insincerity; a vain person's effort
to impress a servant,
"This ain't little, Miss Loraine!
This is really something! Big!"
Loraine looked amused. She
was idly studying herself in a mir
ror, debating which shade of
rougo would heighten her color
best for the movies. Also, she
quietly rehearsed certain move
ments and gestures that might
come in well when she faced the
cameras and the public.
"It's a heap of people inter
ested," Martha went on. "Just
imagine. Riding in a ship without
no motor and no gas bag. Away
up in the sky!"
VSonring isn't new, Martha. It's
been done."
"But you and him's going clear
across (lie land! You and him's
like pioneers, heading west!"
Copyripht, 1943
NE.A Service, Inc.
..rPHAT'S a thought!" Loraine
conceded. It would come in
handy for interviews. Captain
Carr and I fed as if we were
modern pioneers, paving a new
way for progress as did our fore
fathers, those intrepid souls who .
She smiled to herself, lighting a
cigaret.
"Ain't you going to hurry,
miss?"
"Indeed not,"
"Unh, unh! Me, I would have
been there before breakfast."
"Would you, really, Martha?"
Loraine was over-doing the busi
ness of being languid now. This
pretense satisfied something with
in her.
"I been nervous all night my
self, miss. Just 'cause I maids for
the lady what is going."
"Oh-h, now," Loraine chuckled,
This was good. It was going to
get better, too, because presently I
she would have public triumph I
over that little snip, Pat Friday.
Loraine envisioned that, in an- j
ticipation. j
First, she would make the short
public speech into the micro
phones. Then she would shake
hands graciously with everyone.
And when she came to Pat, she !
would smile down at her and say,
"Thanks so much for your help, !
darling. Jinimy and I will always
remember you. I am sure." That
would be good!
Martha grew more nervous.
"Miss Loraine, please hurry!"
Loraine exhaled smoke and
turned to her maid. "Martha, let
me give you some good advice.
Never come to a thing like this
on time. Never! If I come onto
that field, say 10 to 20 minutes
late, who's going to get the most
attention?"

PINEAPPLE DOILIES
IN TWO STYLES
7500
by Alice Brooks
Lovely, individual touches add
so much to the pleasure of home
life. These pineapple crochet
doilies (one of the easiest designs
to crochet) are the small kind
that lend themselves to endless
uses. Done in string they'll do
for a luncheon sot. Pattern 7500
contains , directions for doilies;
illustration of stitches; list of ma
terials needed.
To obtain this pattern send 11
cents in coin to The Herald and
News, Household Arts Dept.,
Klamath Falls Do not send this
picture, but keep it and the num
ber for reference. Bo sure to
wrap coin securely, as a loose
coin often slips out of the envel
ope. Requests for patterns
should read, "Send pattern No.
i , to followed by
your name and address.
Because of the slowness of the
mails, delivery of Herald and
News Household Arts patterns
may take two weeks to reach
you after your order is mailed
in. We're sorry.
There should bo some provi
sion in the manpower program
for leaving a nucleus in the col
leges of men whoso aptitudes
qualify them for our long range
needs. If we are to risk our lives
for freedom, we must at the same
time do all we can to preserve
the deep springs from which lt
flows. Wendell Willkie.
The American Red Cross be
gins the greatest single crusade
of mercy in nil history. In the

are regarded as synonyms for
weakness and decadence. In o r
land It is from our great tradi
tion of mercy that we take part
of our strength. Chnlrrmin Nor
