CHAPTER XVI

Kay set to work with will over her lessons on child training. Dick ies' welfare was in her mind before all else. Twice week she attended the lecture course. and Mrs. Watts was 6 frequent visitor at the little house on the sands.
 Ted returned from the Pacific flight one day to find Kay waiting alone for him at the landing place.
 After his initial embrace he asked, "Where is Dickie"
 Kay shook her head. According to the book he is too excitable and I thought he'd better stay at home"
 'sThe book?" Ted eyed her askance. What on earth are you talking about?"
 "Oh!" she said, "the book I'm studying on child training"
 Ted laughed. 'What does the book know about Dickie?"
 sEverythingl Ted, I'm worried about him. Yesterday. after all my training the past few weeks, he came running home and said, T just met my brother at the air. port. He wants me to go hunt tigers with him."
 Ted laughed. "Did you let him go?"
 aNo. He said he'd rather stay home with me"
 T suspect" Ted told her, "that your friend, Mrs. Watts, has been giving you ideas. Her five chil- dren-"
 'T haven't seen them, but she says they're model children"
 Ted snorted. Everybody in the airport colony knows those children are little terrors! We've had to chase the boys away from the airport a dozen times and the truant officers picked them up in Oakland once"
 "Ted-really?"
 He only laughed. "You go to see Mrs. Watts some time when they're all at home" he advised Go just once!"
 Kay was thoughtful on the way back to the house. Suddenly. as she saw Dickie running to greet them, she turned and said, q be- lieve Dickie is perfectly normal!"
 Perhaps Ted suggested, The only needs little of the disci- pline we require of our crews. on the trans-Pacific flight. I'll give him . lecture and if that doesn't work I'll have to punish him"
 "Oh, Ted, mol" Kay's hand flew to her throat.
 But Ted did give Dickie a stern lecture. After dinner he went to the airport to work on the gy- ropilot. Kay knew he wouldn't be home until late. and she tried to settle down to read. After half an hour, however, she threw down the book in disgust.
 Dickie looked up from the model airplane he had been play ing with. T don't like books either" he announced. Come on, let's play"
 Kay drew him to his feet. "I'D tell you what" she said. Lets slip off and see a movie"
 Dickie clapped hls hands. @Okayi"
 sWhat shall it be? Cowboys and Indians?"
 He drowned. "No," he said Tets see an air picture"
 ~All right. Wen see If we can find one"
 Ted came home early and found the house deserted. Since he was tired, he went to bed at once When Kay and Dickie arrived he was sound asleep.
 m the morning he confldec something to Kay that banished al thought of her own trials. Ted hac come home from his flight ovel the Pacific to find that his privat, once had ben ransacked. Papers
