CHAPTER III
CHARLES MOWRY might not
understand what was in Bar
bee French's heart that morning
but he could at least read the
determination in her lace.
He capitulated. "I'll be glad to
have) vou in the class. Barbee.
You know that." Warm lights
danced in his eye. its he looked
down at her. But he could be de
termined, too. "Remember, if you
enroll you'll have to take a Job
when the course is finished."
"That's what I want," Barbee
told him firmly.
He told her where to go to sign
up, and stood watching while she
swung down the corridor.
Barbel found that class work
didn't start until the following
week, and she was glad of that
It would give her more time to
spend with Ned during his last
week. But as it turned out she
saw surprisingly little of him. He
seemed to have a thousand things
to do. He was on the go almost
constantly. Even his last morning
had to be shared with someont
else.
Barbee and Molly together had
made quite an occasion of his lasi
meal at home. Molly cooked th
breakfast herself, and there were
all of Ned's favorite dishes. Sc
many of them that Ned laughed:
"You trying to feed me up foi
the duration, Molly?"
The old colored woman chuckled
"Yas suh. Mister Ned. And Ah'll
send you a box of cookies, jest
as soon as Ah gets youah address.
"Now you're talking, Molly,"
Ned approved. "Every week. Re
member." "Yas suh. Mister Ned. Yassuh."
Molly lifted the corner of her
apron and furtively wiped her
eyes.
TT was Barbee who first spied
the tall athletic girl waiting on
the station platform. Even then it
didn't occur to Barbee that she
was there to see Ned.
"Ned. isnt that Delia Over"
she started to say, and then the
tall girl saw them and came
quickly toward them.
She and Ned caught bands and
clung together rather breathlessly
for a moment "I cut my classes
this morning," she explained. "I
had to see you leave."
"You know Delia Overstreet?"
Ned turned to his father.
Mr. French acknowledged the
Introduction and Barbee mur
mured a rather stiff, "Good morn
ing."" For a moment she resented
the other girl's intrusion.
'And then she saw Ned's face
and was ashamed of her selfish
ness. "I must be glad about
anything that makes him glad,"
she told herself contritely. He was
so young and perhaps with so
short a time for happiness. From
the way he looked at Delia her
being there to tell him goodby
certainly added to that happiness.
Barbee soon found that the
chemistry course wasn't going to
be a snap. There was practically
a year of chemistry crowded into
a concentrated 10-week course
Arid that time was further short
ened by pressing need for tech
nicians in the war industries. Per
sonnel men from ordnance plants
came to interview the girls about
employment and Charles Mowry,
as instructor in charge, recom
mended the most advanced stu
dents in the class for jobs before
they finished the course.
Barbee was in this group. She
knew it was largely due to
Charles' friendly help in class and
at home evenings that she had
done so well, and she didn't wan)
to disappoint him. But taking
job out of town presented diffi
culties that she hadn't counted on
With Ned gone, she hated very
much to leave her father alone,
and spoke about it to Charles.
- a
"TSNT there any place here in
A town that needs laboratory
technicians?" she demanded plain
tively. "We've had a call from one local
plant," Charles admitted. "But
you wouldn't be interested in it."
"Why?"
i "It's a factory where they make
gas masks. You'd be testing car-'
bon. Incredibly dirty work."
Barbee's face flushed angrily.
"Charles, when will you under

stand? I'm not looking'for a white
collar Job. I want a real job, a
war Job, and I don't care how
dirty it is."
Charles gave her a long specu
lative look. "All right," he said
at last. He took a card out of his
pocket and wrote something on
the back of it.
At first glimpse the Duncan
Brick Company wasn't at all
prepossessing, a smoke-shrouded
cluster of buildings inside a high
barber wire fence with a squat
guard house at the entrance.
A man in uniform stopped her
at the gate with a brusque: "Who
do you want to see. Miss?"

She showed the guard the card
Charles had given her,
Ha seemed doubtful. "Wail
here. I'll call the laboratory and
ice."
He was back in a moment,
shade more courteous this time
"This way, please." Ho led hei
through the guard house and
pointed to a muddy roadway be
tween dark buildings. "Back that
way. You'll find the laboratory
door marked."
She found it almost at the end
of the road. It was a plain wooden
door, crudely hand lettered with
the single word, LABORATORY.
Barbee reached to open it just as
someone mside yanked it back.
Caught off balance she stumbled
into a man's arms.
