WELL-ROUNDED FIN1SU
CHAPTER XXX
TTHEN the glider train had first
W left Sky Harbor In Phoenix,
two Individual planes had taken
eft 'Immediately following. They
carried gentlemen of the news
reels and gentlemen of the press.
They were turned back by the
Superstition Mountain storm,
later, though, the sky train came
spectacularly out of that storm
gain, but with only nine of its
original 10 gliders!
"Something's happened!" The
sews men began to shout about
. "That 10th plane It had the
girl pilot. Captain Carr's fiancee!"
They got good photos of the
nine ships cutting loose, and when
Jimmy Carr's motor plane headed
back to look for Number 10, the
photographers' ships followed him.
Half an hour later, one of the
greatest aviation films on record
was being made.
It showed Jimmy's ship dipping
dangerously Into the canyons of
a storied mountain. It showed him
spotting a white sailplane on a
high and narrow slope. It showed
him climb up for safety in jump
ing, then leap out in a parachute.
When Jimmy leaped, his 'chute
billowed quickly. Then he began
to rock and tug. Thump! When
he struck the slope he scrambled
and rolled in loose rocks.
"Jimmy! . . , Jimmy!"
Pat was 40 yards or so away.
Jim unbuckled from his 'chute
and ran toward the girl.
"Pat, are you all right? Are
you hurt?" He was shouting fran
tically. "Yes! I mean, no! I mean I'm
all right! Are you?"
They spoke no more, for a time.
Partly because Pat Friday quite
lost control of herself. She was
cobbing in Jimmy Carr's arms.
Sobbing, and hugging him, and
pressing her cheek to his shoulder.
"Little girl . . . little girl,"
he was saying, ever so gently.
But the crying didn't last long.
Re kissed her twice on top of her
bead. Then he lifted her chin,
blotted tears with a handkerchief,
and leaned to kiss her full on the
lips. "Pat darling," he said, then.
She just clung to him, while the
world swung around and around.
"TJ7ERE you hurt at all, little
" girl?" he asked, finally.
f No, Jim. But I I guess I was
very foolish."
"You're the bravest kid in the
country."
"No."
"Yes! Chucking off into that
storm lordy, Pat!"
"I thought I was near Globe.
But I was scared silly. Jim, I
I got up to 16,000! And when I
was forced down I couldn't see a
thing until around 5000 feet And
the first solid earth I saw was
there!" She pointed to a sheer
rock wall as big as a skyscraper.
"Mmmm, Pat!"
"My ship was headed right into
it And and I did what you
taught me to do. I put her over,
quickly, hard. . Then pancaked
right down. I knew I must be
in a canyon, or at least around
more cliffs, jimmy, that sailplane
is a dream! I don't believe it's
damaged at alii"
He lifted her for a kiss once
more. This time she returned it,
with a wild surge of ecstasy and
abandon.
It was midnight before the two
young adventurers were rescued
from Superstition Mountain.
Planes flew over the best ground
route from time to time, dropping
flares, to guide cowboy Bill Barker
and others on horseback, with
spare animals for Fat and Jimmy
to ride. There was no place for
an airplane to land within six
miles of the mountain. But there
was a paved highway, and auto
mobiles took the adventurers back
to town.
In Phoenix, apparently nobody
had gone to bed. Even at the big
hotel on Central avenue where
Pat and Jimmy and the other
soaring carnival guests had rooms,
a throng of people was milling.
They had to be told everything,
over and over again. It was 2
o'clock in the morning when Pat
got to bed, exhausted. But at 8
she was up again, and Jimmy Carr
was in the lobby waiting. So was
their loyal friend, big Ed Bryan.
. "They loaned me a car to drive
lus out to Sky Harbor," Ed said.
"They want us there for tl big
icelebration this morning. Last day
of the soaring carnival. And say,
you two! You stole this show, and
i ooni mean maybe!"
pAT and Jimmy were strangely
quiet Once, driving out Pat
did speak. "Ed, is is Loraine
Stuart"
"Oh, that dame! She headed
iback east Took a 6 o'clock train
back to New York City. Brought
four plane in safely last night, but
ihe Wouldn't talk for sour apples!
What do you suppose come over
her?"
Jimmy Carr grinned, "No tell
ing! A lot of things, I imagine."
There was a session, then, at
tho airport. All the bigwigs had
to say things to Pat and Jimmy.
The , nervy demonstration had
proved, perhaps even better than
planned, the adaptability of sail
planes. And if a train of them
could weather a storm like that,
it could do anything! The throng
right here at Sky Harbor had seen
nine planes cut loose and land
safely, and as for Pat she had
truly demonstrated what a motor
less ship oould do and what a girl
pilot could dol The press men

NEA Service, Inc.
were almost worshipful. The pub
lic clamored for glimpses of the
handsome captain and tho pretty
blond girl. A girl who, inciden
tally, was still called Loraine
Stuart! Fat's strange masquerade
in public still held.
The session at Sky Harbor was i
interrupted shortly after 11a. m.
when the Reverend R. C. La Porte
arrived.
"I was asked to come here for
a wedding at noon," he told them.
"Oh!" i
Pat said that She looked quick- j
ly, and self-consciously, and fear
fully as well, nt the other men. j
Big Ed Bryan was smiling
broadly.
"Me and the captain," Ed i
drawled, "we done some running i
around this morning, Miss Fat be- j
fore you got up. Down to the ;
courthouse, and the florists, and j
one little place and another, yes'm. I
Me. I get to be a best man!" j
Pat said. "Jimmy, is !s Lo- j
raine " j
"Loraine is headed back for i
New York. Private Friday," Jim
my said. "But I'm not My part :
of that noon wedding is still on. !
You're the other part of it."
"Me! Oh Jimmy! No! I I have !
no clothes, or or " j
"You want me to court-martial ;
you. Private Friday? Don't be in
subordinate!" "And anyway, Jimmy you
kissed me but you never asked
me to marry you at all!"
"I'm not asking you, I'm telling
you! I'm marrying you at noon,
and I'm kissing you again right
now."
The newsreel men and the paper
photographers recorded that for
posterity, too. They like to have
a well rounded out finish for a
news story.
