CHAPTER XXIII
"POR the next hour and a halt a
lot of people came Into Major
Hale 5 omce where Pat was work
ing, but she barely caw them.
She dealt with them cordially
enough, efficiently enough. But
isne did so line an automaton.
They included city and state ofll
clnls even the governors of three
states had come to Phoenix for
the soaring carnival, and all the
people were doubly interested in
the air train project They In
cluded technicians, weather men,
reporters, newsreel people, com
mittees for this and that While
Captain Carr handled the techni
cal aspects of the train planning,
it was Pat who handled all the
i civilian "front" And she did so
without really knowing it Be
cause her mind was on what Ed
Bryan had said.
"If I was you I wouldn't give
up," he had advised her. "Jim
Carr is honest with everybody
' but himself."
That had meant, plainly, that
( Pat herself had a chance to win
Jimmy's love. In spite of Loraine
Stuart who was already engaged
, to him.
Unfounded' as that hope was, it
held power in Pat's mind, and
she looked eagerly for the time
when she should be with Jimmy
again. That pleasure came when
Ed Bryan, as planned, brought
Jimmy and Loraine to join Pat for
lunch. The four of them would go
to the Sky Harbor cafe. And
that's where 12 o'clock found
them.
"This is a nice private table
: looking out at the palm trees,
with Superstition Mountain in the
background," the waiter told them.
"Everybody's getting hepped up
over the sky train, Captain Carr."
"Yes. Little 'oit excited my
self, waiter. How about you.
Lorry? And Pat? Ed's too dumb
4o know anything."
Big Ed grinned. He and the
captain understood one another.
"It's going to be wonderful,
Jimmy!" Pat answered. "I'm as
excited as a schoolgirl."
' And then, as if automatically,
nil three of them looked at Lo-
- raine. She had said almost noth
ing so far. And she just waited
now with narrowed eyes. The
moment was about to become defi
nitely strained.
"Aw. Lorry!" Jim pleaded, ever
so gently. "Come out of it won't
you, sweetheart?" The worn stung
Pat Friday. "Here we are, four
friends in a grand town, at a
soaring carnival, having a grand
time. Or could be. Don't nurse
your mad, Lorry girl!"
Ed concentrated on a grape
fruit cocktail. But Pat felt strange
conflict in her soul. Ed had given
her renewed assurance, hope. And
she wanted so desperately to
make Jimmy Carr discover her;
discover her as a girl. A girl to
be loved.
Well, she couldn't stand on
ceremony, she told herself. Not
if she really felt that way. Lo
raine Stuart was a formidable op
ponent for anybody! Beautiful.
Perfectly groomed. Clever as pos
sible, even if she did have a
warped moral sense. But Ed
Bryan had tactfully assured Pat
that Jimmy was mistaken in his
own mind, and that she could help
him discover herl
Pat decided to take over the
play here.
"Jimmee," she almost purred it,
somewhat in Loraine's own style,
"We are going to have the grand
est experience today! You and I.
On that glider train!"
"Sure," Jimmy agreed.
"Do telll" Loraine said, loftily.
TAT forced another try. "Jim
my I so many people have
been telling me how grand you
are. To have thought it up, and
planned the train demonstration,
I mean." Pat swallowed. "We
we oh, Jimmee!"
Ed Bryan's eyes lifted a mo
ment as if in surprise, then went
back to the grapefruit His quick
glance upset Pat no end. But she
tightened her lips!
Lorain spoke. "You planned it,
Jimmee darling?"
"No, matter of fact I didn't"
Jim was determined to give credit
as due. "The whole thing was
Pat's idea. But a darn good one."
"I see!" Loraine'o voice soared
up scale. "And, no doubt, Miss
Friday again maneuvered to be
taken along. Getting to be quite
a habit!"
"Now, Lorry!" Jimmy was sud
denly distressed anew.
Pat felt desperate. "You want
ed me, didn't you Jimmee?" she
cooed, hastily. "We we under
stand things! We know how
things are and and " Ed Bryan
had an attack of coughing and
hurriedly beckoned the waiter.
When the glasses were re-filled
with water, and the main course
served, and the waiter had gone
again, Loraine spoke straight from
the shoulder.
"I want to get this settled,"
said she, with devastating calm.
"Jimmee!" Pat tried.
Loraine rode over the interrup
tion. "I've been sitting here in
Phoenix nursing my hands like
somebody in jail. With with Ed
Bryan here hanging over me like
the flatfoot he isl Now, Jimmy, I
want to know exactly what the
score Is, You understand me?"
"Lo-rainei" Jim pleaded.
"Please 1 " He stopped, exhaled
heavily, then resumed speaking as
if ho had suddenly made up his
mind. "Loraine, I do understand.
Sure do! And I want you to know
I feel liko a heel. Why, sweet
heart you know what I think
about you! We've been engaged
for months! I admit this soaring
flight has me nil wacky. But I've
been depending on you to stand
by me, see, and I'm standing by
vou. I admit I've been so dog
gone busy most of the time that

don't want no dessert Fact is,
I ain't much hungry. Miss Pat
how's about you coming on out
on the terrace for your ice cream?
Me and you can talk while these
turtle doves bill and coo."
He tried to make it casual,
genial, good-natured. And even
if it was rather obvious, Pat was
grateful to him. Loraine and Jim
my didn't protest in fnct barely
noticed them leave. Jimmy kept
on talking.
Outside with Pat Ed mopped
his face with a handkerchief.
"Whew!" he breathed. "Warm,
ain't it?"
It wasn't warm. Pat was look
ing up at him, rather fearfully.
Fearful of what she ncrsclf had
done. He led her to a private
spot in a covered swing.
"Ed I I muffed it! I oh!" She
was about to cry.
He patted her hand. "That
wasn't just the way to go about it.
Miss Pat," said he gently. "I
guess me and you, we we have
to operate in our own way. You
couldn't imitate that Stuart dame's
style Whew!" He had his 'ker
chief out again.
Couldn't imitate Loraine. . . .
No. . . . No, she couldn't Pat
realized now. Her purring act
hadn't jelled. Her desperate,
forced business of trying to im
press Jimmy Carr, in the same
manner Loraine used effectively,
had only made her look ridicu
lous, naive. Jimmy hadn't noticed
her at all. Indeed, he had set in
determinedly to stress his love for
Loraine!
Pat's breath took on a sudden
trembling, and all at once she
leaned over sobbing in her hands.
Ed Bryan, thoroughly miserable,
patted her shoulder. It was all
the big fellow knew to do.

FOREWARNED
LINCOLN, Neb., (P) Ralph
Cox, a member of the state
board of control, told the legis
lature's appropriations commit
tee that tho south wall of the
stale penitentiary at Lincoln had
been in bad shape for four or
five years.
"In fact," Cox added, "it might
go down at any minute."
One hour and a half later a 25
foot section of the wall collapsed.
