, CAPTAIN CARE'S ORDERS
i' CHAPTER XV
pAPT. JAMES CARR needed
V sound sleep this night and he
didn't get much. He was too con
sumed with thinking. 11 he hadn't'
been a healthy young animal It
might have told on him.
"There's something screwball
about this whole deal," he told
himself, right after he left Lo
raine at midnight They had
talked in the mezxanine for more
than an hour. "If she wasnt such
swell somebody "
, He never did finish what would
happen it she wasn't such a swell
somebody. He was sitting on his
bed, one Army dress shoe off and
one on. He still held the off one
Id his hand, and he was staring
t nothing.
Wham!
The shoe hit a wastepaper
basket, skittered over and stopped
beside a chair. Throwing it gave
Jimmy a kind of release, but It
was no way to treat a dress shoe.
He picked it up again, inspected
it, and rang for a bell hop.
"Here's four bits, pal," he smiled
at the boy, also giving him both
shoes. "See that these look like
mirrors in the morning."
"Yes sir, sure. Captain Carr!
Then he sat with his feet on the
back of a chair, body sprawled on
the bed. He envisioned Loraine
Stuart Taffy hair in perfect or
der. Lips and rouge and eye bus
iness all perfect as usual. A swell
somebody. Only, damn it she'd
been drinking. He couldn't figure
that He and Loraine had agreed
that flying and drinking don't mix.
Jimmy Carr couldnt understand
anybody who didn't keep agree
ments. Loraine's broken promise,
trivial as it was, left him con
fused. .
The. truth was, he eouldnt see
Loraine as anything but the lovely
somebody she appeared to be. Un
deniably she was beautiful. She
bad been beautiful when he first
net her at an aviation ball, and
she still was. Oh, she may have
had some faults, but who hasn't?
Offhand he couldn't remember
any of Loralne's. Until today,
tonight, she had done a strange
(thing.
i1 "She never did explain how she
'came to be late for the start of
the trip," he said. "I asked her.
and she acted mad!"
; That dldnt snake sense, either;
Army life runs with elbcklike pre
cision. Eleven o'clock is 11 o'clock
exactly. Even Loraine should have
understood that And if she was
so determined to make that trip,
why didn't she telephone him if
she couldn't make it? And most
of all, why did she have to forge
his name in order to catch up?
Soon after his pilot friend, Ed
Bryan, telephoned him from El
mira, Jimmy went to sleep. If
sleep it could be called. He was
still upset about the whole situa
tion. He was stni upset about it next
morning at breakfast He felt bet
ter physically, but he felt some
bow awkward about starting with
Pat and substituting Loraine as
tus passenger (oing west
"No, that's not fair," he argued.
"Lorry got a dirty break at the
start."
TIE was trying valiantly to stand
up for his fiancee in his own
mind. Contrarily, though, he kept
thinking of Pat with favor too.
He remembered how Pat had been
Stricken with stage fright as they
approached Cleveland, and tried
so hard to be nonchalant just talk
ing about the city. Making her
speech, she had still been like a
school girl, at first Then he had
teen her chin lift, and her violet
tyes show a little anger, and Pat
had made a good speech after all.
In Chicago, she had wowed 'em.
Had as much poise as a veteran
trouper.
He wondered what Pat Friday
had done for a living before he
found her. Or she found him. He
grinned, remembering the way she
nervlly took over his office that
morning in New York City, bluff
ing a whole string of other girls
who wanted Jobs. And Pat had
been the second fastest soaring
pupil in his experience, the other
being a boy who already had stud
ied aviation. In barely nine days
Pat had made a sailplane salute
' and say yes ma'am.
' The waiter came to his table
with two morning newspapers, the
first Jim had seen since leaving
Elm Ira.
"Sa-a-ay!" he beamed at the
front pages.
Pat Friday looking too cute
for anything smiled at him from
three-column pictures, and Pat
had other poses, too. The soaring
Bight had almost stolen the day's
play from the war itself. Jimmy
studied the pictures like a pleased
boy. He hadn't known how pho
togenic Pat was. She looked like
a cross between Betty Grable and
Judy Garland, only more so. Cut
est of all was that astonished,
half-frightened, half-happy pose
where Fat was just getting into
the sailplane at Elmira, after he
had snatched ber up on the run.
HEARTS IN THE CLOUDS, a
headline writer had effused, over
the pictures. And then added, be
low, "Handsome young soaring
expert and his beautiful fiancee,
Mies 1" i
"Hey!" Jimmy exclaimed.
fGood jumping grief!"
. The papers had muffed it Or
somebody hud, They said this pic

ture was his fiancee. Miss Loraine
Stuart! When it was really Pat
"Oh, oh, oh!" Jimmy was moan
ing and laughing at the same time.
The papers of course had been
told that Loraine would be the
passenger. Pictures had been
taken in a terrific rush at Elmira,
at Cleveland, and here in Chicago
itself.
Suddenly the personal Import of
the error struck him, however. It
wasn't funny at all, it was awful!
And then, strangely perhaps,
for a young man engaged, Capt
James Carr's mind sought a way
to protect not his fiancee but the
other girl.
"This is not fair to Pat!" he told
himself abruptly. "Why why
hell's-to-Betsy, that kid is tops!
Look at the way she fitted in. The
way she took over and saved my
skin there at Elmira. . . . And an
other thing, these pictures will be
all over the country, pictures of
Pat. so . . ."
He had forgotten breakfast He
sat there a moment more, star
ring, thinking. Then on quick
decision he went to a long dis
tance telephone and placed a call
for Elmira.
When his party had answered,
he said, "That you, Ed Bryan? . . .
This is Captain Carr again. . . .
Yep, in Chicago. Taking off in
about an hour. Listen Ed. here's
another order, and hang it all this
one isn't forged. Ed, you're my
friend, too. Now listen you go
get Pat Friday, tell her I sent you,
and you tuck her in an airplane
and come chasing after me. Un
derstand? Pat knows my route of
travel. You help her catch up
with us, at the earliest possible
stop!"
