bRV HARBOR WEDDING
CHAPTER XXIV
TORAINE STUART law Ed Bry
an and Pat leave the luncheon
table, but ihe made no protest.
She shifted her lovely, sultry eyes
back to Captain Cam
"You must understand that I
think of you constantly," Jimmy
was laying, and his voice had a
desperate tone. "Lorry, you and
I why, good grief, Lorry girl,
we're like that!"
He held two fingers up, side by
aide. Loralne said nothing. Food
on the table went untouched, but
the opened her bag for a cigsret
Jim Carr, who didn't smoke but
who usually held a match for her,
apparently didn't see the cigaret
t all now. He was that intent.
"Little girl, I'm as serious about
this as possible. I won't have you
or anybody else Imply that I two
time youl I'm not that kind of a
heel. Don't you understand?"
Lorry squirted smoke out the
side. The motion screwed up her
pretty lips unprettily, and her
eyes were narrowed, watching his.
"You believe me, dont you.
Lorry girl?" Jim begged, low tone.
"We we had everything under
stood. Didn't we? . . . Didn't
we? . .
She finally deigned to speak.
"What about this Friday person?"
Jimmy was struggling harder
than ever. "I wont belittle Pat
Not In the slightest. Matter of
fact, she's swell, but well, look,
Lorry. I"
"Then you still want to marry
me."
"Lorry! ' Of course!"
"All right Will you? And If
to when?"
"Why why well, look look,
you say it!" Jimmy swallowed,
and his eyes were wide now.
"You came the date yourself
You're the one, not me! When
ever and wherever you say!" He
was like a soldier going to do a
duty if it killed him, and shrewd
Loraine Stuart did not miss that
fact ; .
She tamped her cigaret out and
aid, "Tomorrow at noon. Bight
here." '
"H-Here?"
She nodded. "There's a cute
outdoor chapel right here at the
Phoenix Sky Harbor. Where a
great many movie stars are mar
ried after flying over from Holly
wood. A Spanish arch, under
palm trees and a climbing rose.
Okay, Jimmee?" This had be
come business-like now. A strictly
business contract arranged by the
party of the first part while the
second party was willing.
"Absolutely!" said Jimmy. "Ab
solutely, Loraine!"
JJAT'S breakdown of sobbing
passed in a very few minutes.
She wiped her eyes on a huge ker
chief, gave it back to its owner
and stammered, 'T-thanks, Ed.
You are so kind."
"Do you good, crying a little,"
aid he. "All right now?"
j "All right Only I'm ashamed."
! "Forget that part Nobody saw
fou. Not even me."
j "Thanks, Ed."
"You wanta eat anything else?
Or you wanta go back to that of
fice? You better eat! You got
to fly in a sky train at 4 o'clock.
That ain't but a few hours."
Til get a malted milk later.
And a sandwich. Everything is
so horrible now and oh!"
He turned to follow her gaze.
Jimmy and Loraine were coming
out on the terrace, toward them.
"It's all right," Ed comforted.
"Just don't try to talk for a little
while."
Loraine, surprisingly to Ed, had
all her old verve and sparkle
back. She strode toward the can
vas swing like a conqueror, like
an imperious dress model on a
stage, like a woman of absolute
purpose and poise. Jim Carr'a
. face was set
"Well," Ed Bryan began, rising,
"Well, uh it's not 1 o'clock yet
but maybe we"
"Sit down! Do sit down!"
Loraine directed them, brirhtly.
There may be something" you
two people want to know!"
"Yes'm," Ed agreed, nervously.
Neither Jimmy nor Pat spoke.
But Loraine now said, "You're
both going to be a little surprised,
I'm sure. But the truth is, the
romantic old southwest has got
ten into our bones, in a measure,
Jimmy's and mine."
"Ma'am?" Ed looked at her.
! "Capt James Carr, U. S. Army,
and Miss Loraine Stuart of New
York City and Elmlra, wish to
announce plans for their wedding,
to be held tomorrow at high
noon!"
"IVTOBODY else spoke.' Ed and
111 Pat both looked frozen.
"Wo really can't stop and visit
Just now, children," Loraine went
on, triumphantly. "So much to
do, you know. But you'll both
be there? Tomorrow at noon,
right here at Sky Harbor, at that
darling little marriage shrine!
We'll want Mr. Bryan and Miss
Friday by all means, won't we,
Jimmy dear?"
"Yep," said Jimmy, lips still
light. "Sure."
Ed tried to catch his eye, but
IJImmy looked past him. Then
Loraine led her man away. They
really made a. fine-looking couple

going Jo-n the terrace here; the
distinguished young Army avia
tor and soaring expert and the
statuesque, blond girl.
When they were out of sight,
Ed exhaled again. He turned to
Pat Friday.
"I I better get back to work,"
she said, nervously.
He took her to Mnjor Hnle's of
fice without another word. Peo
ple were waiting to see her. Ed
went on away, a whipped, angry
man.
Pat did not go at once to the
desk she had borrowed. Rather
hastily she went on through to a
small anteroom. She just had to
have a moment alone!
She didn't cry any more. Not
now. Control had to be forced
at any cost because of the after
noon's task before her. ... But
for an ageless minute or so she
did think.
The old hope within her of
course lay completely dead.
She had tried everything.
Everything! Kindly Ed Bryan
had sought to help her; it just
simply hadn't worked. She had
tried slaving for Jimmy. She had
tried being honest sweet girlish.
She had tried once back in El
mira being sophisticated, and
that had been terrible. Today,
she had tried a cooing, purring
technique which Loraine herself
used so effectively on Jimmy
Carr. Nothing had worked.
Pat whispered a quick little
prayer. "Please take care of
Jimmy! Please take care of him,
God. Always!"
Then she hastened back to her
assigned job.
