I shouldn't have to make it any
palmer 10 YOU" the girl said, ex-
asperated. i want you to let me
alone"
He stared at her coolly.
All right 1 promise not to kiss
you again until you want me to-"
Irene opened the door Of the car
and climbed out.
L might have known you would
not be serious about it. I like you,
Barney! I had hoped that we might
become good friends"
He jumped out after her and they
stood in little fog -shrouded world
Of their own.
Il want to be friends with you,
too," he declared, and I don't see
why we shouldn't kiss each other"
Ashamed to admit that his kisses
were too potent for her. Irene said
nothing.
WHAT'S a kiss between friends?"
he continued. You said yourself
that the first one had no signifi-
canoe. If it hadn't why argue about
it?"
He sounded more serious than he
had at any time during their COIL
versation, but she was not at all GER
tain even now that he was not
laughing at her. And as she turned
toward the airport he began to
whistle. He had succeeded in max.
ing her appear completely ridic-
ulous.
The only way to regain her dig
nifty was to stay entirely out of his
way. This, unfortunately, could not
be done when she was to ride in
planes which he was flying. But at
least she could avoid being alone
with him.
CHE was still holding firmly to
~ this thought when the plane
started for San Francisco. Because
of the delay, many of the passengers
had Cancelled their reservations.
There were only three business men
and a middle-aged couple. Irene,
scanning their faces, noticed that
they looked tired.
Were on our way home" the
woman condded when Irene took
their tickets. We've been visiting
friends and it's been one long round
of parties"
Shall I bring you a pillow? Per-
haps you can Sleep"
Il hope I can. We've just come
from a luncheon and I'm wreck"
She took off her hat and leaned
against the pillow gratefully while
her husband said, I'm not feeling
SO good myself
Irene left them comfortably settled,
but when she glanced at them a few
moments later the woman looked so
distressed that the air hostess has
tened to her.
I'm afraid I'm going to be ill.,"
she confessed. Il didn't feel very
we'll when we got on"
Her face was drawn and pasty, and
her husband said, Il feel worse, too.
Do you think it can be the motion
Of the plane?"
1T isn't as rough as usual" Irene
reminded them. Are you sure you
didn't eat something which might
be disagreeing with you?"
Both spoke at once.
ut may have been the lobster"
they said.

mild remedies which we're usually
sufficient in cases of air sickness,
but both passengers became rapid
ly worse. With the help of the
co-pilot, she moved them to the
rear of the plane and applied such
emergency treatment as was pos
sible, but they were showing def
mite symptoms of arsenic poisoning
and Irene was alarmed.
When she was free for a mo-
ment, she went to the cockpit and
asked Barney to radio ahead for
the doctor whose name they had
given her. But she was afraid they
might not live to reach San Fran
cisco. Never had a trip seemed so
long and filled with apprehension,
but when they reached the airport,
20 minutes ahead of time, an am
bulance and their own physician
we're waiting for them.
In the stress of circumstances,
Irene had forgotten all about her
quarrel with Barney until he said,
"YOu were wonderful"
you we're pretty wonderful your
self" she admitted, getting them
up here 20 minutes ahead of time.
