impression on Agatha, for when Mr..

next day and lifted his hat humblyT she
ignored him quite icily. He was not
at all accustomed to being ignored.
Tough luck. old chap" he thought
ruefully, Il do believe you've met

Thinking It over, he decided to make
one last effort at conciliation. He
would call upon Aunt Justine and Ag-
atha, and Gee whizz. and explain In

He did so. and felt that from Aunt
Justine he wrung certain reluctant
approval. Agatha was charming. but
she managed withal to make the call
an exceedingly difficult one for Mr..
Dillingham;. AS that gentleman rose to
go he opened his mouth to say some
thing gracefully propitiatory. and to
his chagrin found himself stammering
like q schoolboy. "Well-Gee Whizz!

The next morning Jordan got into
his skull plane and started out on a
little trip. The aviation field was
about six miles from the city of Tours.
Circling around the Twin Towers. he
gauged his distance carefully. and
easily swooped down and pitched his
plane at an angle which enabled him
to fly between without touching or
seraping his wings.

laughing, and he. started TO do a few

Agatha, intervened.
AS Mercy. however. Agatha was
scarcely in character, for she was just

As she rounded the corner of the

a man coming from the opposite direc-

gasp, and she extended an embarrassed
hand.
