bar In hand, and pried loose one
Of the folded wings and q part
Of the fuselage that held Tex
down.
Tay and Badly lifted Tex out
to the Stretcher. Both Of them
we're burned. It took q stream
from the chemical to put out the
flames on their clothes. They
were rushed along to the hospital
with Tex.
Jake and Lou followed in his
car.
Dizzy wanted to 60.
mot with Lou-you've done
, about enough" Jake said, "help
the men with the ladders, keep
the fire from spreading"
The fire was soon under con-
troll. Dizzy left Immediately Tor
the hospital.
He hovered in the shadow Of
the entrance, afraid to 60 In and
meet Lou. After q while Tay and
Baldy came out. Their burns had
been dressed.
Tell me. what. what. =.
Tay stared straight through
him, but Baldy spoke.
"He was conscious bit. grinned
at Jake and spoke to his wife,
then passed out again"
Passed outl" Dizzy gasped, not
understanding.
Unconscious. Can't tell for q
day or 50, perhaps. Doc said 1t
was q terrific shock"
Dizzy watched Tay and Badly
depart, and he hated himself more
than ever. They were heroes
he had played sick and got his
best pal into this, Just to make q
date. He went inside and found
one Of the hospital officials.
I'm Clark's PAL" he said, "if
you need blood TRANSMISSION. send
for me-"
The official told him that they
would give him q blood test II q
TRANSMISSION seemed necessary, and.
II his was al right, they would
accept his offer. It was all poor
Dizzy could think Of to do.
Mary came to the hospital, on
receiving word from Jake.
They were assured that it would
take some days to learn the out
come. Tex was In no immediate
danger. They finally convinced
Lou that she should 60 home with
Mary. -. A
The next forenoon word came
to the airport that Dizzy was
wanted ut the hospital. He ex.
planned to Jake about his offer to
give blood.
''0o to tive got men enough
to take the mail-let me know his
condition" was all that Jake
could say.
Tex's wife was not told about
the need Of . blood TRANSMISSION
and when Dizzy got there he ran
into Lou and Mary in an ante
room. Lou was talking with q
doctor. Dizzy whispered to Mary,
telling her why he was there, and
warning her not to tell Lou. The
doctor left and Lou stood staring
out Of o window. She was past
crying now. Her eyes were sunk
en-, hopeless in expression. Dizzy
went to her.
"Iou," he said, softly, TIT
sounds silly for me to say I'm
sorry. I'm always too late. I'm al
ways wrong-but, Lou-you know
I'm sorry"
Thanks for nothing" Lou
said. DULY.
"But Lou"
"Don't worry" she interrupted.
I'm not going to shout. don't
think I'll ever shout again. Tex
Is like q little boy. I thought I had
to shout to him to make him under
stand. It won't do any good to hurt
you, Dizzy, Tex wouldn't want me
to hurt you, but I have to say 1t.
You are no good. You are Just no
good. You never have been any
good.
"Oh, I know you are Q great
pilot, but people are more impor-
tant than flying, and everyone you
touch, you hurt, even your friends.
You have never helped anyone in
all your life. Jake has helped you
he got you back here when you got
fired In Denver-kept you In q job.
and what did you doP You began
hurting people.
"You hurt Tommy-She isn't
your kind, and you know it. You
hurt Tay Lawson, as grand q boy
as ever lived. You made Tommy
J hurt him and they love each other
