LtASTER than she had ever flown
before, Peggy sped in pursuit of the
Wild Geese and the captive Giant Of
the Woods. She pressed forward in
her airplane, trying in every way she
knew to urge It on. What If she
couldn't catch up with them? What
II she couldn't find them? The spaces
of the sky were so vast! The chances
OF going astray We're so many.
On and on she went. growing more
fearful every minute. In her imagina.
rion she could see the Wild Geese be-
coming exhausted. floundering to the
ground and falling victim to the tri.
umphant Giant. Her only hope was
that they would drop in the water, for
then the Giant would be drowned.
But Peggy didn't altogether want the
Giant TO be drowned. She didn't want
any one killed. And besides, the Giant
had looked far less hateful as she had
