"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.

' "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- . ' i .. ; "' .'', CoDvrieht. 1943 NEA Service, Inc. 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.
