CHAPTER XXII
ED BRYAN, pilot friend ot
vi ..J rx. TX.tn
' came to Pat on the quiet this
, morning about 10 o'clock.
"Miss Pat," raid he, "I'm a little
worried."
"Are you, Ed? Why?"
' "Well, you know how it la.
When lt'a going to be one whale
ot a big atorm, everything's quiet
i and rosy for several hours Just
preceding."
"Oh , . . Ice.'. . . Yes, Ed,
It in awfully still. I I haven't
' been In the weather office so I
' don't know what the barometer
. reading Is, but anyway I think
u "I wasnt talking about the
weather."
-"No?"
"It may or may not storm, for
the glider train flight But I was
talking about that Stuart dame."
..' "Oh. I see. Ed, has she acted up
again?" Pat was mildly alarmed.
. , . "No'm, she hasn't That's Just
the trouble. I worry about her
being so quiet"
"But maybe she's Just ashamed
of herself."
Ed snorted. "Hunhl"
- "Maybe we helped her see It
our way. Jimmy's way. I mean."
"I been sticking close to her,
under cover like. She stands
around and smokes and stares off
at nothing too much. It ain't
healthy. For us."
"Ed, be nice to her. Invite her
to lunch, and Invite me and Jim
my too. Will you? We got out of
all the reception committee do
ings, because we're planning the
air train. But Jimmy and I have
to eat somewhere!"
"You figure If she's with com
pany she'll behave better?" Ed
asked.
"Yes! Wouldn't you mope, too,
just left alone? If you were in
her shoes? And besides Loraine
can't she isn't really like we
think. Jimmy wouldn't have
loved her."
Big Ed Bryan looked intently
at' Pat His lips worked in and
out in half-comic way. "Hmpl"
he grunted again. "You get me
I mixed up sometimes. Sounds like
(you're actually standing up for
her!"
I am, Ed." I
"Why?"
She didn't answer that But
after a long pause she looked di
rectly at him. Ed besan nodding.
land he spoke his new wisdom in
'low, respectful tone.
I "Miss Pat, you been telling Stu
art this was all impersonal with
you. But it ain't, is it? It's so
doggone personal it hurtsl" :
j Pat murmured, "Yes, Ed."
I "Truth is, you're sold on the
'captain, yours ell"
Pat bit her lip. to keen it from
trembling. "But you aren't going
to say anything, are you?" she
pleaded.
"Nope."
"You you said you loved a girl.
In Atlanta."
Ed nodded. His heavy-featured
I face was a dark study now.
"Then maybe you know how it
is. Yes, I do love Jimmy Carr. I
know it And you know it now.
And and Loraine Stuart has
known it all along."
Again Ed nodded. "She would.
Miss Pat" said he, softly. "She
don't miss many tricks."
.i "But. it it's still impersonal.
"All of this! I can tend strictly
to business. And if Loraine Is
lis"
"You could fight back," Ed sug
gested. "You're pretty as she is.
Prettier. And smarter. You could
take and "
"No."
T?D paused, considering her.
"Hmmm," he sounded.
I "Jimmy chose Loraine. He loves
'her, he loves her very devotedly
I'm sure. If I love him, myself,
then my cue is to help him find
happiness, EdI Not confuse him!
Not make him do something he'd
probably regret a little later. It
it sounds nice, I suppose, to say a
girl had a right to go out and
fight for her man. And believe
me, that's what I'd like to do.
But, Ed I don't love him that
way. I love him more. Morel
Don't you understand?"
I She had become a little ve
hement with it Ed blinked,
avoiding her eyes.
"Yes'm," said he, in his southern
manner. "I reckon I do under
stand what you say. But do you
know one thing? You could be
mistaken."
Pat waited, and finally asked.
"How do you mean, Ed?"
' Ed smiled, kindly. "I have been
around. Police work. Detective.
Before I had taken to flying air'
planes for Uncle Sam. And, Miss
Pat, a feller doing that learns to
read behind people's eyes."
, "Behind people's eyes?"
"Yep." He was rocking on hla
heels now, a little. "Now you
take you you come right out
clean and admitted how you felt.
And I respect that. I'll hold it
sacred between us, see. But the
captain, he ain't like you."
"How do you mean? Isn't Jim
my he's as honest as he can bcl"
"Oh, honest! Sure he is. He's
so honest with everybody that it
sometimes hurts. With every
body, that Is, but himself."
"Ed, what do you mean?"
Ed ighed heavily,.. "Now you

take a fellow like him he gets
wrapped up in flying, and being
an Army captain, and he sort of
forces his personal life down,
ma'am. He don't give it enough
thought He figures everything
centers around winning this war."
"Well well, of course, Ed!"
"Yes'm. But you know one
thing? If I was you I wouldn't
give up."
The big man and the small girl
looked at each other intently for
several seconds. Finally Pat felt
her chin begin to tremble, and a
mistiness came into her eyes.
Ed turned away, almost self
consciously. "I'll go git him and
Miss Stuart and meet you here
by lunchtime," he said. "Yes'm."
Pat watched him go. He
walked heavily. There was some
thing solid and friendly and good
about Ed Bryan. He held an odd
sort of wisdom, she knew.
"Maybe I ought to listen to
him!" something sang within her.
"Maybe Jimmy and I Jimmy and
I maybe Jimmy really could be
made to-"
Her eyes were bright again, and
the chin had stopped shaking. For
almost 10 minutes she stood there
thinking ot a great many things.
Of Loraine, and Jimmy, and her
self Of trivial words, which
might have carried deep import
if she could have read them prop
erly.
"After all, he really did call me
back from Elmira! Made Ed bring
me to Phoenix. Had me be the
flight passenger again. . . . And
he he's been so very nice, at ev
ery turn. He had some candy for
me once, too. And he teases me,
but never Loraine. Maybe he "

come a symphony now. That old
nebulous hope, which she had
