lessly. dad was taking
me to Aunt Sylvia's in the
city and she would watch
me like a cat if he told her
to do it. -
"Do you think we ought
to do this?" asked Allen.
Certainly" exclaimed
Jewel. "My life is my own.
I can't have dad trying to
run it for me. You'll see,
Allen. He'll wake up. I've
written a little note to him.
I'll drop it as soon as we
get in the air. Let's go!"
Allen helped her into the
cockpit. Hoped in himself.
A couple of mechanics
whirled the propeller. The
machine sped along the field
and rose quickly. 1t was at
that moment that Samuel x.
turned his eyes toward the
field, he realized it all.
Jewel was gone.
He got quickly out of the
car and gazed at the spiral
ing plane. Jewel waved to
him-he could see that it
was she. And he also saw
through his bi-focals the
fluttering paper that came
to the ground in graceful
swoops.
"Get that, Jim," said the
irate father. The chauffeur
ran over and picked it up.
Father, the note read,

we re off for somewhere in
this very ship. Sorry you
can't see things my way. |

JEWEL. I"
Samuel K, stood with
neck craned at the plane
rising in great circles to-
ward the blue. He stamped
his foot and shut his teeth.
He pulled out a cigar and
started to turn away. Then
he changed his mind.
Reaching into his pocket
he pulled out a handker-
chief. Muttering, Well,

block" F." he waved his flag
of truce. "

you re infatuated with this
fellow
"I'm going to marry him
when he asks me-" said
Jewel firmly.
For a moment Samuel x.
was speechless. "You re
not, " he declared firmly.
WHO is he'-nobody! /
won't have you"
Now, listen, dad, he IS
somebody. He's a college
man, he's in the greatest
of the new professions. He's
going to make good. Try
to look at it sensibly. What
do you want me to do
marry some useless man
whose only function in life
is clipping coupons and play
ing around'night clubs? Al
len is ambitious-he s 60
ing to make a name for
himself. -
Samuel K said no more.
He strobe away fuming-
thus proving that the old
fashioned father rs not ex-
tinct despite the inroads of
the jazz age.
Allen had his plane en-
gine well warmed up. He
walked around the ship, ex-
amining this and that. Oc-
casionally he cast a look
down the road. At last
they were coming. Allen
took a deep breath. He
fixed his eyes on the bend
where the speeding car WIS
being headed off by a
chunky figure on motor
cycle.
The chauffeur of the Van
Clipper car pulled up along
side the road. Samuel \,
who was in the seat with
him, glared at the supposed
traffic cop.
He leaned out of the win
dow, demanding: "What
does this mean9 I've got
to get to the city on i'm
portant business. Know
who I ami"
"You were going So"
said Frank. II think I'll
have to give you a ticket. -
The argument continued.
Jewel, gathering up her
little bag, slipped from the
rear door and bolted toward
the field. Out of the cor
ner Of his eye Frank saw
her and turned away to
hide a smile.
Jewel reached the side of

TOdGy's True
Story

A LIEN SWAN came out
u Of the little shack at
the flying field with
his helmet in his hand. He
mopped his brow. The most
daring pilot in the service OF
Skyhigh Service, Inc, was
worried. Something had to
be done. But Aliens face
lighted as Frank, his i'm
perturbable and chunky
mechanic, emerged from the
hangar.
"Say, Frank, will you do
something for met"
"Sure, boss-what is itf'

Allen scanned the road
lying to the west of the
field. Then plunged into
his story. Frank, I've
reached a crisis that's al
most as bad as a tail-spin.

found out where he lived?
He suddenly hoped that that
was so. Biff, if he had
come here, would have found
nothing suspicious, and prob
ably would not come back.
Perhaps that was just what
had happened.

their eyes. How long would
it be before he could come
out in the open, before tisS
police would have given up
hope Of finding himi A few
more weeks-that was all.
And then they would go
away together, to some place
where people had never
heard of Sing Sing or Biff
Myers. SO they talked, and
talked, and so the precious
minutes flew all too swiftly.
"I promised Johnny !
wouldn't stay any longer. )"
They kissed again. He
clung to her hands, releasing
her reluctantly. She let
herself down the ladder,
closing the panel behind her.
When she got downstairs to
the street she looked around
cautiously for Johnny. But
there was no sign Of him.
She crossed quickly .and
hurried on her way, wonder
ing where he had gone.
Had she come down a
minute earlier she would
have been in time to see
Biff Myers come up to him,
grab him by the arm and
drag him down the street.
Johnny the Hop had been
taken in custody. They
were going to give him the
works. "

told Bobby. "They'll never

old woman downstairs fixed.
I tell you you're safe as

Bobby shook his head.

said. "Johnny, do you sup
pose you could go back
there again today for me, if
I just wrote a word"
"You want me to go back
there tonight For the love
OF Mike, Bobby"
But Bobby was already
writing.
When, some minutes later,
Johnny let himself into his
own room through the panel,
he heard a light knock at
his door. He closed the
panel as noiselessly as pos
sible, and then opened the
door. He saw Beebe Barrett
standing there!
An exclamation broke
from him. He was sure then
that something had gone
wrong.
But she only smiled.
Everything's all right.
Only-only it just seemed
like I had to see him,
Johnny, l had to!"
He shook his head. What,
with Bobby writing notes
all day long, and Beebe
taking the risk of coming
here, there was no sepa-
rating these two. Johnny
didn't like it, and showed
it in his face.

pleadingly, "and then I got

to come here tonight, but l
was afraid you wouldn't let
me.
"You re right I would
n't!" he grumbled.
"But I'm here now,
Johnny. You've got to let
me see him now!
Stepping out to the land
ing, he looked down through
the gloom, listening intently.
Then he locked the door,
beckoned Beebe, slid the
panel up, and pointed.
"You can stay just ten
minutes. It ain't safe-this
kind of thing, Beebe. You
know these dicks are too
smart to play tricks with
nowadays. Go on up-I m
going out and keep watch
down in the street. -"
Beebe climbed the ladder.
In one more moment she
was in Bobby Doyle's arms.
He was hugging her, laugh
ing delightedly, praising
her, kissing her cheeks, her
hair, her eyes.
"Oh, Bobby, darling, I've
missed you SOL"
can I do is to lie here
thinkin' about you, Beebe!"
They talked in whispers,

A4HACs
But he had a shot Of his
drug not long ago, and was
for the moment full Of an
almost exalted confidence.
He felt in high spirits, in
his unreal world. He halted
by a pole to scratch a match.
Then he threw a quick
glance to the right and rear
of him. His tremendously
sharpened senses pie k e d
the man right away, the
man who was now walking
a little slower than the other
people coming down the
block, it was Biff Myers.
Johnny had no sense Of
panic, and no suspicion of
how things really stood. AL
though he had never been in
Wilkes mob, his friendli-
ness to Doyle was undoubt-
edly known, and the police
were likely to shadow any
Of his pals.
His cigarette lighted,
Johnny quickened his pace.
All at once he darted into a
side street, ran for a whole
block, then slowed up and
stood looking at an apart
ment. Out of the tail of his
eye he caught sight of his
pursuer.
He began to saunter now.
He was making his way
towards the East River. He
went up a block, turned and
went down two. All at once
he pushed open the door of
a cheap restaurant, which
he could see had a door on
the side street. He passed
through without stopping.
Twenty minutes later he
was near the water front,
and then without warning
he ran down an alleyway,
crossed the street and re-
traced his steps.
He saw Biff coming
around the corner, saw him
turn back again and hide.
Johnny passed on with
seeming blindness, though
he wanted to double up
with laughter. It struck
him as the best joke he had
ever played.
The next moment he came

if it is crack-up. I'm try
ing my best, anyway.
Six weeks before Allen
received his mysterious
phone message, Samuel x.
Van Clipper had come to the
conclusion that he made a
mistake when he bought the
Salt Srpay estate, that show
place near the seaside. It
was too close to the flying
field.
Jewel, his only daughter,
had met him on the drive
way. He stopped in his
tracks when he saw that she
was attired like a flapper
flier."

stormed Samuel K. "You
don't ride horseback in that
rig, do youf"-
"No, dad,'' said Jewel.
"I've been up"
Up! What do you mean
-up?"
"Dad, / want you to buy
me a nice cabin plane. I've
almost qualified. I expect to
get a pilots license soon. -
What! And let you
break your neck or some
thing! I won't have it,
JEWELL"
"Now, dad; don't be one
of those melodramatic stage
fathers of ages ago. Be
modern. Listen"
"There s nobody more up
to-date than I ami" stormed
Samuel x.
"Well, dad, you re acting
like a pater Of the 'Floro-
dora days. Now, do be
nice, and say you'll get me
a plane. "
II know" exclaimed <.

Jewel stopped smiling.

before a church. He did
something he had not done
for years. He went inside.
Biff Myers followed him
to it's doors and stood out
side scratching his head. His
face, red with indignation,
showed that he realized that
Johnny had seen him at the
start and led him o1R that
wild goose chase delib-
erately.
He stood for a while in
thought. Then he made up
his mind, and acted swiftly.
When, after a long in
terval, in which he began to
regret his joke, Johnny
came out Of the church, he
saw that Biff Myers had
disappeared.
He made his way in the
direction of Tenth Avenue,
stopping now and then to
throw a swift glance back
wards. But Biff no longer
followed, he knew that now
beyond any doubt.
Though he had walked a
long distance, he had had
plenty of energy for it, due
to his "shot. " Of late, how
ever, the dope he lived by
had given him its sustaining
bursts of confidence and
strength for shorter and
shorter intervals. He could
feel it dying on him already,
feel the black gulf of de-
spair that threatened to over
whelm him.
His footsteps began to lag
more slowly. His tortured
nerves jumped. He could
not keep his hands still He
heard some boys in the
street shout out to him as
he passed by, with his
quick, almost grotesque
movements. He did not
look at them. He was sud
denly horribly afraid, of
what--he did not know. But
the sweat jumped out upon
his forehead.
Half an hour later. he
climbed the last step. Going
into his room, he pulled
open a drawer. Soon there
came over him once more a
new wave of relief.
Now he noticed with his
keen memory for details
that some Of the scraps of
paper in his drawer had
been disarranged. Had
Bobby left his hiding place,
and come down here,
prowling for cigarettes9 No
doubt that was it.
Johnny pulled the bed
back, lifted the panel, and
climbed the short ladder.
Bobby was lying on his
mattress, smoking, an opened
magazine on the floor beside
him.
What kept you so long'"
he asked in anxiety. "Is

Johnny listened with

think his adventure with

But Bobby was frowning.

Men for Jobs.

By Times Special
DES MONIES, Dec 31.-''Poli-
ttcianS never can hope to furnish
men with necessary qualifications
Tor governmental regulatory work, "
Frank N. Wallace, state entomolO-
Etst OF Indiana, told the American
Entomologists Association at it's an
nual meeting held here today in
conjunction with the meeting Of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science.
AS chairman of the section Of
plant quarantine and inspection,
Wallace talked on personal qualifi-
cations for men engaged in field
regulation work, such as in fighting
the corn borer.
ITO me the most important quail
hcation is an adaptable, pleasing
personality on the part Of the regu-
htory employe," Wallace asserted.
He must meet thousands of citi-
Sens during the year and all are
entitled to his services. He must
meet them on an equal basis and
must win their confidence, even
though he requires tt.m to do
things wS4ch they beis4Ve unneces-
gary or inconsequential. 1l, can not
do this without pleasing personal
ity.
HE must have patience and lots
o6 it. Job, with all of his boils, is a
poor object lesson when you consider
a regulatory man on cOrn-borer
control work"
Wallace prescribed the educational
requirements with emphasis on BIZ
ology. He stressed the fact that
proper men must be given some as
srlrance of tenure of employment
and not be at the mercy of politics
and politicians.
