NO ARGUMENT
CHAPTER Xin
WITH no thought given to that
" detail at first, Pat Friday had
discovered first in Cleveland and
then in Chicago that she was
"Miss Loraine Stuart, Captain
Carr's fiancee." So, still to pro
tect Jimmy, to help him toward
the promised promotion, and gen
erally help make the soaring flight
a success, she had held to that
harmless masquerade. But to
night at 10:30, room 1220 in the
big Chicago hotel telephoned
downstairs.
"Send a waiter with a menu up
here at once," the speaker or
dered, peremptorily. "And a serv
ant to unpack a suitcase."
"Oh, surelyl" the service hostess
was apologetic. "Are you is this
Miss Stuart's maid?"
"This is Miss Stuart herself!
What's the matter with this
place?"
"But room 1220, you say? I
didn't recognize your voice over
the phone. Miss Stuart. And when
you were downstairs you told us
you wished to be left alone until
morning, so I specifically ordered
all servants not to disturb you; Is
is this the Miss Stuart of the
transcontinental soaring flight?"
Doubt sounded In her tone.
"Of course 'it is. Don't be
stupid."
' "I'm sorry. The waiter and
maid will be up immediately."
Loraine issued further orders.
She wanted laundry and pressing
done here in the night, and she
demanded that it be finished be
fore dawn. She needed lipstick
because she had forgotten her
own, and had the hotel service
send up a drugstore clerk with
eight different shades for her se
lection. She demanded that some
body come and take the several
bouquets of flowers out of 1220,
sent up as welcoming gifts for the
lady passenger that afternoon.
During this interval of petulant
complaining and ordering and of
getting herself refreshed, Loraine
thought of her victory over Pat
Friday. The little snip had been
squelched! It had been good to
see Pat back off and leave the
room, scared to death of a gun.
Loraine paused, inhaling smoke.
and considered that part of it She
looked at the automatic pistol
which she had used. Something
inside her told her that Pat Friday
actually hadn't been afraid. In
deed, Pat had seemed a little dis
dainful of the pistol, at first But
when Loraine had shown her that
Army order .
Loraine choseto believe it was
fear of the gun, too. She gloated
silently over the "triumph. Damn
her! She'd taken all she meant to
from -that Friday person. But,
even so "I'm a little shaky,"
Loraine confessed. , "What I need
is a drink."
She ordered liquor sent up, and
during the short wait for it, she
felt herself go really jittery. A
reaction had set in, to leave her
nerves jangling. It made her hate
Pat Friday more. Friday was the
cause of all this, obviously.
Loraine grew bored with con
sidering it, and as the drinks took
effect she felt spirited again. She
reached for the telephone. "Con
nect me with Capt James Carr,"
she ordered.
. "Mr. Carr left orders not to be
disturbed."
"Don't be ridiculous! This is his
passenger on the flightl"
a
fpHAT, of course got Jimmy at
once. Loraine recognized his
answer, and her own lovely voice
Bowed to him meltingly.
"Jim-mee darling," she cooed.
"Hey, that you, Loraine? By
George!"
"Yes!"
"Are you all right? Say, this is
great, your calling. But where in
the devil were you this morning
at 11 o'clock?"
"Jimmee, I want to see you,
now."
"Sure wish I could. Say, we had
a swell flight, Loraine. Clear as
crystal all the way, but looked
like we might have out-run a
storm. Any sort of blow or rain
there tonight, hunh?"
"Jimmee, I am in this hotel
with you. Two floors down."
"What? Hey!"
He hurried down to meet her
In the mezzanine lounge. Ho was
smiling broadly when he ap
proached, but when she kissed
him lingeringly and clung to him,
he took her by the shoulders and
eased her away.
"Loraine!" he spoke softly, but
In disappointment. "This liquor
business I thought we agreed
look, people who fly, and "
She stopped him by snuggling
close and laughing In easy, too
intimate manner, and petting him
and murmuring little cozy sounds.
"You didn't wait for poor little
me!" She started to pout.
"Listen, Loraine! That flight
was set for 11 o'clock!"
His tone, definitely ominous,
knocked the pout right out of her.
Slio resumed her softer technique.
"We made a swell run to Cleve
land and a mob was there to wel
come us," lie said. "But when wo
got here to Chicago wow, Lo
raine, tlioy all but gave us the
town! You should have been along
Just to watch Pat. Say, you know
what? That kid has something! I
mean, she has! She had stage
fright at first, but later she "
Loraine kept control. Naively,
Cnptain Carr praised the other j
girl; no more than was due, surely,
but with more enthusiasm than
was necessary at the moment.
"Have you checked in on Pat, too?
Told her you were here, Loraine?"
"Jimmee, Miss Friday has re
turned to Elmlra."
"What?" He was astonished
again.
"But of course, Jimmee! When
I found you had already gone, and
been forced to take her with you,
I came at once. She's gone back."
"But no! We can't look, Lo
raine, we that kid's worn outt
Hasn't slept in twe nights, and
anyway I look, how'd she go
back?"
"She went on the same plana
that brought me, darling."
"What plane? There's no com
mercial flight at this hour, or
any"
Loraine smiled ever-so-sweetly
and intimately now, snuggled her
blond curis in the hollow of his
shoulder. She was wise enough to
know she could spike bad news by
admitting it first
"Sweetheart" she purred, Tm
afraid little me was naughty. Just
a llttle-itty bit I went to your
desk, back home, and got one of
the order blanks, and filled it in
for a plane. And I " she giggled
a little, sweetly, "I signed your
name. I knew you wouldn't care."
He sort of stiffened, automati
cally. .
"Loraine," he breathed, frown
ing. She giggled again, possessively,
snuggling him very close and pet
ting his firm young cheek, as a
fiancee perhaps has a right to do.
There was no argument he could
summon, no reprimand

SNAKE STORY
The python is the only snake
of the oviparous class to incu
bate Its eggs: the others leave
them to be hatched in the sun,
Ovoclciparous snakes retain the
eggs within their bodies until
hatched and then bring forth the
young alive.
If nobody ever said anything
unless he really had something
to say, a lot of us might never
open our mouths, and few of us
would keep them open as con
tinuously as we do now. Chan-
nlng Pollack, author.
