CHAPTER XVI II
CTAND BACK, PEOPLE! . . '.
0 BACK, PLEASE! . . . GIVE
THE LITTLE LADY ROOM! . . .
BACK, EVERYBODY!"
The mayor of Phoenix, Ariz.,
Inever one to miss n spotlight, was
assuming full command here now.
He had ridden up to the golden
sailplane on a horse, with a reti
Inue of horsemen behind him.
The retinue was, in truth, the
sheriff of Maricopa county and his
mounted possemen, a group of 40
prominent Arizona horsemen who
functioned mainly at public re
ceptions like this. It was a pic
turesque touch of the old west
thus to have fine horses and cos
tumed riders welcome the trans
continental sailplane.
The mechanics faded back. So
did the Army men. After all, this
entire sailplane junket was for the
civilian public. A demonstration
of what gliding and soaring can
be expected to do.
His Honor the mayor had doffed
his 10-gallon hat, and he was
beaming. Sheriff Jordan and his
men formed their horses beside
the plane. This was perfect for
the newsreel men and the news
paper photographers. The little
ceremony, too, was enough to quiet
down the cheering crowd. Espe
cially when Chief Wipala Wickl,
magnificently costumed Hopi In
dian, strode forward with a huge
bouquet of flowers for the lady in
the plane.
It was at this moment that Capt,
Jimmy Carr turned to his passen
ger, for the first time since land
ing. He had been engulfed in the
initial confusion here.
"Loraine, you must be as gra
cious to these people as hey!
HEY! ... Pat!"
Pat Friday, sitting back there In
a veritable daze, could only stare
helplessly at him. But off to one
side rose a stentorian voice.
"WELCOME TO ARIZONA,
CAPTAIN CARR!" roared big Ed
Bryan.
Jimmy turned, saw his friend.
Bewilderment shone on Jim, and
:.he glanced quickly at Pat again.
. "AND - WELCOME TO THE
YOUNG LADY PASSENGER,
TOO!" Ed bellowed, giving Jimmy
the high sign.
This welcoming speech was all
'"extra-curricular Not planned by
the reception committee at all.
Later, some newspaper reported
that a stranger made spontaneous
outburst in token of the crowd's
enthusiasm. Which was at least
partly true.
Jimmy's mouth had dropped
open, but when Ed signaled, he
kept quiet By this time anyway,
Chief Wipala was rumbling some
words. The chief extended roses.
Automatically, Pat stood up to re
ceive them.
i "Th-thank you!" she managed.
Then she inhaled deeply, caught
big Ed's eye, glanced fearfully at
trimmy Carr and pitched in.
'Thank you, so much!" she re
peated, very loud. "I as a rep
resentative of of the women of
(America I accept these roses "
she looked at Ed again, shaking
literally in her shoes. Ed nodded,
iemphatically. "1 accept these roses
as your expression of friendship.
It is a pleasure to be in Arizona.
We want to stay as long as we
tan. We Captain Carr and I
bring you cordial greetings from
the people of the eastern states,
and together we pledge our co
operation in making the soaring
carnival a success." . ,
' -
jCHE might have said more, but
p some exuberant fellow shouted,
rWhoo-pee, E-YEOW!" Next mo
rn ent a cowboy shot off his pistol,
land the crowd was in hilarious
eruption all around, v.
"Pat!" exclaimed Jimmy Carr.
Pat ... You " .. . .
"J-Jimmy! . . . Oh!"
"How in the world did you get
In here? In this plane?"
"Ed Bryan put me here! He
stuck me in, just as you landed.
The crowd was so excited, nobody
but"
"Where's Loraine?1'
"I don't know!"
"But Pat my lord!"
"Ed took her awayl"
"Stick with me, Pat, . ' . Stand
by!"
They were being separated now,
out of the plane.
"Of course, Jimmy!" she yelled
at him. "Of course!"
The substitution of Pat Friday
was never known to those not per
sonally concerned, because Ed
Bryan had engineered it so adroit
ly. And Pat's appearance, her
speech, was accepted quite nat
urally by the public because there
was the same pretty girl whose
photographs had been in the local
papers today. This was the pas
. scnger who started yesterday from
Elmira, who was with Captain
Carr in Cleveland and Chicago.
The public had no cause for sus
picion! Pat suddenly found herself in a
hand-tooled, silver studded sad
dle, high on a white horse between
the sheriff and the mayor. A
Qroung reporter ran to her side.
!' "When are you and the captain
feolng to be married, Miss Stuart?"
he shouted at Pat
I "Oh!" Pat gasped it But Jimmy,
across from the mayor, had heard,
too.
, i She looked fearfully across at
him, and he smiled broadly and
answered the young man. "No
personal news," Jimmy said.
"Many thanks. Just say that the
lady and I desire only to empha-
size the Importance of soaring. We
. bclievo gliders and sailplanes can
change the entire American way
of life."
"Yes!" Pat chimed in. "Almost
nnyono can operate a sailplane
Biter a few weeks of training. And
they need cost only $200 or so
each. Soaring! It's the coming
thing in travel!"
Jimmy edged his horse over
next to Pat's, so he could lean
tlwe to her ear.

you are! We'll talk tins other
thing out later, but keep up Uie
front now!"
"Yes, Jimmy," she whispered
back.
"Any any hint of scandal, or
nil.sup, might wreck the whole
soaring flight. Do a great deal of
harm. That's why I phoned Ed t
iBryan to bring you back. I knew
1 could trust him, but he was
more clever than I hoped. Stay
alert, Pat! Tonight in the hotel
we can talk and "
She nodded. A band was play- i
ing, and a team of Hopi Indians in !
native costume was coming up to ;
dance. The Arizona sun was about ;
to drop behind the distant moun- ;
tains, but right now it made the- :
atrical lighting for the grand show
here on Sky Harbor field.
Only two people of the 10.000 :
or so present were not striving to
crowd up as close as possible.
They were Ed Bryan, airplane pi
lot, and a blond young lady whom
he held tightly by the wrist.
He escorted hei off. to one side
toward the main passenger station
here at Sky Harbor. Then he
pulled her into partial privacy be
hind a clump of palm trees.
"Before I turn you loose I got
a thing to say," Ed began. "You
saw what 1 done, Miss Stuart.
You're blazing in the eyes now.
But okay, okay; you just blaze
and keep quiet If you wanta be
so free with forging Army orders
and pointing pistols around "
He never quite finished. He Just
clamped his Ijps shut, glared
straight into her eyes. And for
good measure he significantly
patted his own holstered gun.
