TAKE-OFF BY SURPRISE
CHAPTER VIII
""APT. JAMES CARK, U. S.
Army Glider Corps, and his
young lady passenger were to be
lowed in the latest Victory model
two-seater sailplane.
"We'll be approximately a half
mile behind the motor ship," he
reiterated to news men in a last
Interview this morning. "First
top will be at Cleveland."
"How do you land there. Cap
tain?" "I will simply cut loose from
the tow line and come down at
will. Probably soar over the city
for about an hour first, for the
public to see."
"Then down to the airport, hook
onto the tow line again, and head
west?"
; "That's It Chicago next."
"Whewl" the reporter breathed.
"How's for thumbing a lift?"
Jimmy grinned. "Wish I could
take you, old man. But listen
in a short time, maybe just a year
or two, transcontinental sailplane
flights will be common. I mean,
with passengers, express, freight,
everything. Military use at first,
naturally. But after the war,
wow!"
"Okay to quote you on that?"
"Sure! It's not theory, it's tested
fact. I'm heading out right now
to prove it again. Prove how pas
sengers can be towed. We might
es well have six sailplanes on that
tow line. Or even 10. It's been
done!"
Some of that, too, went Into the
microphones when Jimmy made
his little farewell speech there on
the rostrum. Publicly he accepted
Colonel Furedy's good wishes,
then saluted and shook hands with
everyone. Some 15,000 people be
gan .cheering.
. .
TAT FRIDAY was holding Jim-
my's log book when he stepped
down from the platform.
"And, Jimmy," she murmured!
excitedly, "here's a telegram from!
your mother, sending her love.!
And and this is a little basket'
of fruits, from me. You might
get hungry." ,
"Gee, Pat!" He Inspected the
fruits, packed In cellophane and
tied ever-so-daintily. "Thanks a
billion. And hold down, every
thing for me. I hate to gee, Pat!"
He seemed to discover her violet
eyes, then.
Several Army officers were ap
proaching, and one of them
boomed out.
"Three minutes of 11, Captain
Carr," he said, ominously. .
"Yes, Colonel Furedy."
"What about It? Are you
ready?"
"Yes, sir. Of course, sir!"
. He strode off with the other
Uniformed men. The crowd . ol
spectators watched them move
toward the sailplane, a few yards
from the official platform there.
Newsreel men were maneuvering.
Photographers squatted and
squinted and climbed around. The
nervous tension Incident to th
takeoff seemed to be gripping
everybody. Up yonder half a mile
was the tow plane, its propeller
already turning. Engineers and
mechanics moved here and there
like so many busy ants, re-checking
every point of ship, towllne
and sailplane for last-second per
fection. Everybody knew that this
flight would make aviation his
tory. There was a formal little dis
cussion there beside the plane,
with austere old Colonel Furedy
being a trifle pompous. After all,
this was his big day, too.
"Carr, you young devil," he ad
dressed Jimmy rather genially, for
him, "I want you to do this job
up right! You understand?"
"Do .my best, sir."
"I'm sure of that I didn't pick
foxi carelessly."
"Thank you, Colonel."
"Ah, another thing, Carr."
"Yes, sir?"
"If you do make it," the
colonel's tone left it open to
doubt, "I might, ah, say in ad
vance that I intend to recommend
you."
"Yes, sir? But I dont quite
follow you."
"No promises, mind you. Not
yet. I said 'if.' It you make it
safely, and turn in a thoroughly
military that is a proper piece
of work all around, This assign
ment is not quite military, hmmm.
It is a civil job, in a way. Public
morale. Education. Good will.
But we've been over all that"
"Right, sir."
"Then, confound it It you want
to be a major before you're 30
years old hah! You follow me
now, young spriggins?"
JIMMY saluted, grinning his
thanks.
Then all at once the colonel
frowned. "Where is your passen
ger, Carr?" Several men looked
at watches. "It's 10:58 o'clock!"
"I I I don't know, sir. She
ought to be herel"
"Hmmm!" Colonel Furedy's
tone spoke volumes.
Jimmy's eyes were searching
the crowd, Honestly, he hadn't
had time to talk with Loraine.
Not since a minute yesterday
morning when they went over the
essential details. But Loraine was
icapable, responsible. She knew
(what was going on. Jimmy sent
n orderly rushing through the
crowd to look for her. He himself
inesan to look frantically around.
He glnnenUat his watch; 40 sec- I
ends more had raced by. This I

flight was scheduled for 11 a. m..
and in the Army, 11 means 11.
A band had been playing, and
it stopped. Musicians walked up
to send the ship off with proper
fanfare.
"Lordy!" Jimmy breathed.
"Where in the devil is she?"
That silent question was echoed
by Colonel Furedy, aloud. In fact
he almost roared it
"I say, Carr, is your passenger
here yet? Where is she?"
I you see. Colonel "
"This trip has been advertised
with a lady passengerl The public
expects it It has to go through!
And it has to start in just 50 sec
onds!" "It will, sir. Thanks, and good
by!" Jimmy saluted, then turned to
run. He raced to a point by tho
platform, grabbed a girl's slender
hand and without giving her one
chance to speak jerked her for
ward, running. Tho band began
to play. People crowded closer.
"Jimmy! What in the?"
"Get in! Shut up and get In!"
He stage-whispered it desperately.
He pushed her toward the door
of the sailplane. Nervously, and
entirely automatically, she lifted
one foot to step in.
"HEY, LADY!"
A photographer called that She
turned, beaming with excitement
poised gracefully on the sailplane
step.
Click! . . . Click-click! . . . Cam
eras snapped all around.
"Oh!" she gasped.
Next, thing she knew, Jimmy
was sitting at the controls and the
wings were dipping. Precisely at
111 a. m. the plane started rolling.
A thunderous cheer rose over
the soaring field.

Leadership Is not a thing to
be assumed lightly, and it is
precisely because it requires ca
pacity to carry responsibilities
that the demand for capable
leaders in government, in busi

seems invariably to exceed tho
supply. President Everett Case
