and waited, nervously lingering a

young man, we've cooled our heels

up, in gesture Of despair. "Mr. Mon

Late dancers coming down from
the roof recognized the group in the
middle of the lobby as reporters and
newspaper photographers and at least
one of them guessed the reason for
their presence there.
The stocky youth glared at the
clerk, said, abruptly, "All right. We're
not looking for trouble, but If we find

persistent knocking on the hall door.
Quickly she looked around to see If

remembered that Rita had not come

was not Rita standing in the hall, but
a red-headed young man wearing q
topcoat several sizes too large for him.
I'm sorry he said, instantly, and
bent forward a little to stare at the
letter on the door. His boyish face
was puzzled as he looked down at Ann
again. That's funny. Bill Hudson
told me"

to rouse herself. This is the address
Bill gave you, but he didn't expect

in a brain as foggy as her own travel

likely involved girls presence In

She remembered what he had been

back and pushed the door wide open.

was looking at the heavy leather coat.

INSTALLMENT III.

vt WAS a distinguished committee
that waited in the small room Of
the airport terminal to formally
Il congratulate Lee Monday upon
his achievement Senator Runbrecker
had been invited because he was al
ways invited to all affairs related to
aviation. There was nothing surpris-
ing in this, for the Senator was q
large stakeholder in one of the coun-
try's largest air transport companies
and in the Senate he had convincingly
demonstrated that he was not only
the champion of his own interests, but
of aviation in general. Lee Mondays
flight had effectively advertised the
fact that poor visibility was no longer
a hazard in air travel, and the Sem
ator's company had helped to finance
Mondays venture.
When the young flyer, whose fame
rested not so much on his accom-
plishmentS in flying as upon his re-
puted wealth. entered the room. he'll

nan in leather coat, whipcord breeches
and leather puttees who was still in
his early twenties, and who, while not
as tall as the average, was slim and
straight-and eager despite his Is
hour flight across the continent in a
sealed cockpit.
But what amused them was the
curious effect created by combina-
ton of grease and oil that almost en-
tirely covered his boyish face from his
not very prominent chin to the border
of his definitely red. curly hair. He
reminded Senator Runbrecker of a
youngster who has just been hit be-

this many times.
A cabinet member spoke, briefly, In
a low voice. Senator Runbrecker grew
oratorical in his praise OF this "inval-
liable and revolutionizing contribution
to aviation" A Southern Congress
man named Macmillan restricted him
self to a merited compliment.
Lee Mondays response was one OF
the shortest ON record. He said, pleas
antly:
Thank you. gentlemen" and, shak-
ing hands all around again, he slipped
out of the room.
On arrival at his charming estate
just on the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac, Senator Runbrecker found his
anemic son slipping a cocktail In the
library. Deane Runbrecker was %,
much too heavy for his height, and
as fiabby of character as he was of
physique.
Deane held his glass aloft in a
shaking hand. Better take look
at the Princess, guv'nor." he said with
foolish grin. Wouldn't be sur
prised if some culprit's taken advan-
tage of her so-called innocence"
Disgust written on his heavy fea-
lures, the Senator made his way up
the broad, winding stairs and into his
daughters room. Selma was lying
across the bed. but she looked up
smiling as her father entered and
held up dropping hand to be kissed.
Father" she said, Il want you to
do me a favor-a big one-one that
will make me happier than anything
else you could do . Will you?"
Senator Runbrecker patted her hand.
Anything that adds to your happi-
ness adds to mine. You know that.
OF course I promise"
Selma blurted out, II want you to

Her fathers eyes widened. "You
want You don't know what you're
saying. Discharge Thurman? Dis

paced the floor, presently coming back
to demand, Whatever made you ask
such a thing?"
Selmas face was buried in a pillow

sobbingly: 81 can't t-tell you II

1t was this airport. the largest In
acreage in the Greater Washington

the American terminus of their pro-

The airport was purchased by Mount

which has been operating the flying
