New York is a notable example. It
is situated on a narrow peninsula, and

from aircraft, either by day or by night.
Communications off this peninsula for
people trying to get away from a bonn

anything that has ever occurred in any

''Bosba rtiment from airplanes is not
confined to a coast line. because there
is no coast line in the air. The air
planes can fly inland to the limit OF

putting up superhunran fight. She
went to her desk and brought out
Myra's last letters.
"Enily's in the sanatarium still, she
was worse than they thought" she
said. Myra says she'll have to spend
cover, and the idea makes Emily fur
ious. She says she's going to Europe
for year and get rid of the doctors.
I expect it would be good thing for
her"
And Myra, what win she do?"

unless she goes and boards. and she's

Ruth went on home none the wiser
as to the activities Of her two friends
in the city.
What was the trouble? Was Tim no
longer in love with her? She felt so
i'll at the idea. that she wondered
vaguely how she would feel if her
suspicion became a reality.
Il don't think I could bear it," she
told herself.

her to rest her head against. She
remembered his nice voice talking

and the little words and expressions
he used-silly to repeat aloud-but SO
dear to remember!
She went home feeling that she
must know something definite one way
or the other. Myra's letter limiting
