IJ GlidcX .a V-By OBEN HOPE 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 m Copyright, 1943 NA Service, Inc. ARNOLD 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.
