" ' "We're . going uPl Hold
tight!" .
"What In the world are you . . .
JIMMYI What am I doing In
here!"
"Hook that safely belt and keep
It hooked!"
"But I oh!"
' The wind was xta-n-n-nging
around the sailplane' in a peculiar
mounting whine. Pat Friday's ex
citement was matched by the cap
tain's own.
"This is great!" he yelled at her,
over his shoulder. "Perfect get
away! Perfect day for the start,
Patsy! We've got 1300 feet al
ready!" . "But for goodness sakes what
about Loraine!"
"What say?"
"Loraine! - Where is she?"
"That's what I want to know."
, "But Jim she was supposed to
she was "
"She wasn't there at 11 o'clock."
"But maybe she was just late!"
"Listen, Private Patl 'Late' is
a dead word in the Army 1 .A dis
grace word for the rest of time.
Understand?"
"Oh. But but I she might
have "
"She knew this trip was start
ing at 11. That meant 11."
- "But Jimmy you and she "
' "And Colonel Furedy is - my
boss. And everyone was glaring
at me and at their watchesl So I
had to take off. Now listen, Pat,
you gotta stand by me in this!'
.. "I I"
' "Dont stammer.- Think!" I;
: oh!"
"And dont sit around, saying
,'Oh.' Listen, this is great business
ilf you let it be. J mean well
jheck, look at Us!"- ...
j ;:"It is wonderful, ' Jimmy. : But
(my goodness, snatching me up
ithat way and and with Loraine
(supposed to go!" '..
. ' "I tell you we had advertised
la lady passenger. There just had
Ito be one, and the show just had
to be on time. Now listen, you
must stick by me. We're friends,
aren't we?" -
"I of course, Jimmy, but "
"Okay, then. . We're streaming
out right now for Cleveland, Ohio.
You get to thinking. Fish in . my
coat pocket here. There's little
blank notebook and a pencil, if
jyou need 'em."
"What for?" "
He laughed. It was partly be-
jcause this was an exhilarating,
izestful sport, this riding in a sail
jplane. Up yonder half a mile was
She motor plane that towed them.
Soon they would cut loose and dc
real soaring over one of the citiei
of the U. S. A.
; . "Do you expect me to take dic
tation here!" Pat. was able to
match his own mood now. She
remembered for no good reason
that Jimmy Carr was always
teasing her in fun, but that he al
most never tried to tease Loraine
Stuart That fact was oddly sig
nificant "I'm telling you to make notes
. if you want to. You'vmust make
the speeches now."
"Me?"
' "Yes, youl When we get to
Cleveland. Say something well,
something harmless, . but good.
Understand? ... ,1 say, do you
.understand, Private Friday?"
She understood. In fact "Pri
vate Friday" understood well, for
lit was she who had done most of
Jimmy's own. speech planning.
Together they had doped out
things for him to say, reduced
them to short catchy phrases
where possible. She herself had
typed them on little cards for his
pocket so he could refer to .them
before microphones.
a v-
TN an incredibly short time they
' had radio conversation from
"up front" saying that the blue
while blur down to the. right was
(Lake Erie and the map-like spread
was Cleveland.
"Okay, thanks," Jimmy radioed
back. "I'm cutting oft. See you at
the airport in about an hour."
He threw the lever that released
the tow line. The sailplane dipped,
took hold of the air beautifully
on its own. For a long minute
neither pilot nor passenger spoke,
and there was Only the zinging
of the wind.
"Gaining altitude," Jimmy told
Pat,; then, "Usually find ' good
tliormnls over cities tills way. I'll
circle wide, cut across town, show
off a Utile."
"Do you are you acquainted
With Cleveland?"
"Some. That big spot is the
Terminal Building. And there
nee? that's Public Square. We're
kind of heading down Euclid Av-

enue. And that's Detroit Avenue
coming in from the west Thnt's
Shaker Heights that district, Pat.
And Richfield. The greenish blur
further west that's Bay Village."
"Is that big spread a park?"
"Gordon Park. And away over
there that's Rockefeller. Edge
water Park is a mile west of the
square."
"Is Cleveland as beautiful as it
looks from the air?"
"Matter of opinion."
She hesitated, then said, "Jim,
this is wonderful for me.
Only"
"Everything all right? Not
peeved at me?"
"Goodness no! Only I'm sorry
for you. About the mixup and
all. But if it had to happen, I'm
awfully glad I was there to pinch
hit I mean well it could have
been embarrassing, and with so
much at stake! Honest, Jimmy,
I'm awfully sorry."
He didn't answer that for a long
time, nor even look back. He was
quietly, skillfully, maneuvering
the sailplane. Finally he spoke
and there was no banter in his
tone. "I'm not," he said.
"Not what?"
"Not sorry."
"But Jim, she she's your fian
cee." Again he didnt answer directly,
but just sailed a little while,
thinking. And then he said,
"Okay, Friday, you're my secre
tary, so you do all the worrying
about it you do the being sorry.
Me, I'm on a swell trip, and I aim
to have myself a time."
Pat didnt answer that But the
air whine around them was like
a symphony now, and she real
teed that her spirits as well as her
body were soaring.

SAVANNAH, Ga., (V) Forty
Fifth street residents have to get
up early to beat some of the Vic
tory gardeners.
The head of one family had
big plans afoot. The seeds had
been bought, a plow borrowed
and a vacant lot was watting. Ho
got into some old clothes and
started running the plow up and
down the length of the garden.
Another member of the fam
ily stopped him. His son had
planted the garden several days
previously.
