Tommy went homer" Dizzy re-
peated, unable to believe it.
He found her the next day in
the office where the passenger
records were filed.
when Is your birthday?" was
his smiling greeting.
Tommy looked around at him
questioningly.
Because I'm going to give you
o book on etiquette"
Tommy g;ggled, understanding.
ly. "Do ] need one?" she asked.
"You certainly don't know how
to act toward q gentleman"
THAT emergency so seldom
arises"
"Run out on me like that-did
you think I was going to stick you
with the check?"
Don't you know?"
II was never so Inundated be-
fore. I went home and cried all
night"
II understand. Dizzy. I had a
jag like that, once"
Dizzy smiled at her. How do /
look, Tommy?"
mot so very good. Poor shave"
Try shaving with q hangover.
Look here, Tommy, we have been
out together twice and I've got
two strikes on me-"
The third one will be out" /"
Tommy assured him.
Wrong, Beautiful. I'm due for
q hit now. How about going I'D
with me for some stunting-and
then dinner with me tonight?"
That would be swell. Baldy told
me that you could teach q student
more flying tricks than anyone
he knew, and I am determined to
earn q pilots license" Tommy
thought Of his orders.
"But you can't. You have to fly
the mail west this noon."
"I can fix that. can get Tex to
take my rum"
II don't believe it, Dizzy. Mr..
Lee won't stand for 1t. His orders
are for mail and pilots to go out on
schedule"
Don't IVORY about Jake'S orders.
Leave it to me. Meet me at hanger
nine in about an hour, will you,
with your flying togs?"
"Of course, but have to be back
her. on the job at II tonight, don't
forget"
Everything shall be to your
hearts desire, Tommy"
Dizzy came around to the main
office and found Tex in the locker
room, looking over his gear.
"Hi, Dizzy. Say, Jake and Mary
fixed it swell with Lou last night. "
That's swell, Tex. Say, T.
Iizzy made q horrible grimace
and clutched at himself over the
heart. Tex rushed over to him.
what is it, Dizzy?" he asked,
anxiously. "That bum ticker Of
yours?"
Dizzy gulped. gasped a little. and
nodded.
yeah" he said, weakly.
"Too many snorts last night.
You're getting old. Take it easy"
"Who says I'm getting old?
Z"
Dizzy went through with 1t again
and sat down. quite Imply.
The Washington times., 1936-02-08

"Say, Dizzy" Texas protested,
greatly worried, you're in no con-
dition to go to Cleveland"
"Tve done 1t before" He began
to breathe hard. watching the ef.
feet Of his acting on Tex. II can
do it again. How would 1t look,
me getting sick the minute I get
here"
what do you care how it
looks?"
"I got to get going" Dizzy got
up unSteadily.
Don't worry about your run,
Dizz-I1l take it, and you take
mine this weekend"
Lou will be sore-I think"
'You can't make 1t, Dizz. /"
Tex pushed him back, gently.
Beat it-go get some rest. You'll
be all right tomorrow. This run
Is pie for me-"
Thanks. Tex--you're one swell
guy, mugl"
AS Tex was going out. the loud
speaker was announcing weather
conditions:

Commerce, Washington. Reports

Surface wind calm"
Them babies in Washington, /"
Tex commented, get in . sweat
over . cloud as big Is your
hand.
Ten minutes later Tex Clark,
taking Dizzy'S run, was heading
for Cleveland with the noon
mail.
Dizzy had q plane out and
tuned up when Tommy arrived,
dressed for flying.
He helped her in. Made sure
that her safety belt clutch was
in order, and they were off. Dizzy
knew better than to do any stunt
ing around the airport. He headed
northwest for q little-used landing
field out Pompton Plains way.
For q long while Dizzy Davis
put the plane through stunts
that almost took Tommy's breath.
When they headed back the
weather began to thicken rapidly.
Swell, we'll sneak in at the
hangar without attracting too
much attention" Dizzy said.
Soon there was no visibility at
all.
"It's sure good and soupy." Dizzy
said.
"I know-and I'm worried -
Tommy replied, "think Of Tex
flying back on your run In all
this-f1ying blind!"
CHAPTER XVII g.,
Jaw, Tex can shove through
pea soup; don't you worry none, i"
Dizzy tried to assure Tommy. Sc
cretly, he was rather nervous
about /.
They got in at the hangar all
right and an hour later were at
Mama Gini'S for dinner.
Dizzy was doing his best to con-
vince Tommy that after dinner
they had time to go to his apart
ment for q few drinks before she
reported at IL. Tommy might
have considered this favorably-
Dizzy certainly did thrill her-but
she was too much worried over
the weather and Tex coming in
on q blind run that, by rights,
Dizzy should be making.
When Jake saw the memo that
Dizzy was sick and Tex had taken
his run, he had no suspicion as to
the truth Of the situation. The
three were pals. Tex would natur-
ally take Dizzy'S run over, and
Jake believed that Dizzy's trouble
with his heart would be like his
many others during the past six
years, only temporary.
The ceiling zero situation occu.
pied all Of Jake'S attention.

were studying the weather maps.
At this point, from the loud.

'That was lust q sample. Now we'll have real kiss"
He started to draw her closer again Tommy suddenly pushed
him back Her lips began to move
II get you-yours praying for Your prayer shall be
answered-"
I'm counting" Tommy said softly her eyes still mpid from
the thrill Of his passionate kisses
The Washington times., 1936-02-08

"Counting?"
"Uh, huh--to TO-"
"Countin' to 10? Think you can
count me out? Mkt"
He reached for her again. Once
more she pushed him back.
''Nc, not that. Mother told me
to always count slowly to 10 u
ever I was tempted. Wait until
I count, Dizzy"
Like that? o. K. IN help
you count, Beautiful. Now"
"one." Tommy said.
""Two," Dizzy drswled, ex-
tremely slow.
'Three."
Lets see-I'm bad at figures.
What comes after three? Oh yes
-er-four."
"FiveI" Tommy said. rather
sharply.
At this point jake put his head
into the booth.
"say, Tommy" he said, chow
about dancing this one with your

"You bet" Tommy said, jump

"Hey, quit sneaking out for

out to him, Lou Is gonna blame
me for that"
"Aw, I'm gonna get hell from
Lou anyway-might as well tank
up," Tex grumbled.
"IIl square it with her." Mary
promised.
"But you won't see her until to.

''Forget it, mug" Dizzy leaned
toward Mary. Better watch that

him steadily, "how does it seem to

"Great. Denver's nothing but

"And CongreSsHnen's wives?"
"Aw Mary, I didn't even know
her name"
"As II you could ever tell me
anything about Dizzy Davis. Look

only 49,"
''What Of it?"
'"When q girl Is 10 it is mighty
easy to fall for q handsome aviator
and have her heart broken to bits.

Dizzy stared hard at her.
'Did this girl you read about

"Oh yes, she realized she had
been q fool. She married the
finest man that ever nved-and
her husband never asked her any
questions"
Suppose he had?"
'I would have-She would have
told him, without giving any

'You always was the swellest
