CHAPTER XH
JpOR (he past few hours, that
embryonic hope which had
lurked within Pat Friday had been
growing. It was an unadmitted
hope but a very real one; a hope
that Jimmy Carr might think she
was a woman to treat as a woman,
a somebody to be loved, Instead
of a cute little-sister somebody to
be teased. Not that she disliked
the teasing indeed she loved it!
but now she knew that teasing
had been the sum of it all.
"He gave you this!" she mur-
mured, stupefied, to Loraine Stu-
1 art there in the Chicago hotel
room.
Loraine didn't answer.
I "Where did you thisr order f
Pat wasn't coherent because her
; mind was whirling. And yet, she
if; could remember enough,
fe There had been two hours since
i the saw Jimmy. At the great
I Chicago airport where their sail-
f plane landed, crowds had engulfed
i them. Reception committees had
f things in hand. Jimmy had tech
nlcal aspects of the flight to see
to, reports to make to Army offl-
clals and the like, while she acted
i' more as front for the public to
see. It was a part of their pre
arranged plan. And so it had
been two hours since she left
i Jimmy at the air field.
1 That was time enough for Lo-
raine to have followed him and
V gotten the order. Of course. Lo-
; raine was originally scheduled to
j be Jimmy's passenger. Loraine
J; was his fiancee. Of course. . . .
Of course.
?! ! "All right," Pat breathed now,
E whipped. "I'll go. I thank you,
s Loraine. I'm sorry. . . . Sorry for
4 everything. I mean the flight.
y, It shouldn't have been mixed up
h this way, for Jimmy's sake and
h and yours. . . . I good luck, Lo
ss raine. I'll go now."
?l She held on to the Army order,
tt signed by Capt James Carr him
; self. It ordered her back to H
? tnira immediately, in the same
plane that had brought Loraine
3 West
; ; "Good good luck, Loraine,"
Pat repeated, not seeing her.
"Take good care of Jimmy. Take
: j good care of him."
: She was out of the door again,
fe and all at once the fatigue re
ft turned to her, engulfed her, left
',: that horrible sensation of loneli
!S ness intensified. She, Pat Friday,
fi had no parents, no relatives ex
p cept a beloved brother on an air
! plane carrier somewhere near
: Australia. And except for Jimmy
Carr, she really hadn't made any
: friends lately, either. Life had
been too rushed, duties too stem.
& And she had had only four hours'
ti sleep in 36 hours of strain and
i ' hurry. She managed to get a taxi
M without further recognition. The
jj; reception committee that brought
i her had dispersed.
In the Haxi, going toward the
: airport - again,- she wished she
A; might- at least see Jimmy. She
; wanted to tell him it was all right
Everything was all right even if
. he if he did feel it necessary to
ri demote her, in effect Even if he
; didn't quite have the well, the
jj nerve, or something to tell her
ti face to face. Perhaps he wanted
It to spare her any embarrassment
. . Sure, that's it Jimmy
; wouldn't want to hurt anybody.
; Better just send a signed Army
i order, formal and aU. He he
couldn't couldn't have known
i that Loraine would put on a
i crazy act with a gun.
I
JUSTIFYING Jimmy Carr, she
?'( was almost in tears. It would
be good to fly again. She hoped'
: the pilot was all ready and wait-
Ing. They would be back in El-
mira before too long. Maybe she
could sleep a little en route, then
! go to bed and forget the whole
thing. But no. No, she would
never really forget this experience.
Not if she lived a billion years.
The airplane pilot turned out
to be homely, friendly Ed Bryan,
:i who had often towed Patsy in a
' sailplane.
jj "This is a heck of a note. Miss
r Friday," Ed drawled his speech.
"You reckon everything's okay?"
That surprised Pat a little.
"Surely, Ed," she said. "It's aU
right" She tried, weakly, to be
ii facetious about it "C'est la
I guerre." .
! "I guess so. But It wasn't all
! lust regular. I'm talking about
w my scootin' over here with that
Stuart dame, and such."
i "What do you mean, Ed? Reg
ular?"
. "Well, I tell you. If I hadn't
known she and the captain was
engaged you see, the order camo
to me by relayed telephone, there
In Elmlra. She brought it to me.
She said we had to hurry. She's
on the field herself, you know;
and they're engaged."
! "Yes, of course, Ed."
1 "And when we landed here, she
disappeared and said she was go
ing right over to get the order
signed and official. But I haven't
! v seen her again."
! "Oh. I see. Well, it's okay, Ed.
I Sure is too bad to run you around
! the country this way, Just hauling
! , , girls. I could have gone back on
the bus or train, seems to me, too.
i But, Ed, here's the signed order.
j Miss Stuart gave it to me."
' "Well well, all right, then. If
you're ready, we better head back
! for home."
They took off easily. And the
I night flight eastward to Elmira
again was uneventful. But all the
i while, Ed Bryan was thinking,
Worrying.
i When they had landed, both
dead tired now, he asked Pat to
let him see that signed order.
When he had read it through he
etudied it even more in detail,
standing there hear the hangar
with Pat.
"I'll sea you io your home be-
cause it's. p atc, Miss Pat,", he
said, "but first did Captain Cnrr
tell you he aimed to do this?"
"No. No, ho didn't. But I'm
sure "
"Ho never told you he aimed
to put Miss Sluart in your place?
Looks like he would have men
tioned it or left some word."
Pat stood up for Jimmy.
"He took off in a terrible hurry,
Ed. Miss Stuart was unavoidably
delayed back at Elmira, and there
had to be a woman passenger to
save embarrassment all around.
Don't you see?"
The pilot didn't answer at once.
He had opened his Hying jacket
and taken another Army order
out. Upder tho light there on the
landing field, he studied first one
paper then the other.
"I ain't right bright. Miss Pat,
but you know I'm yours and Cap
tain Carr's friend, and well, to
tell you the truth, I used to be a
policeman. Detective bureau work,
a little, down in Atlanta. Ga."
"But Ed what ?" Pat was
astonished.
"I got another Army paper here
that Captain Carr signed. About
something else. But I saw him
sign that one. And it ain't the
same writing that the other on is.
Miss Pat, this order Miss Stuart
gave you is forged!"
