She had doubtlessly thought out very
carefully the exact relationship be-

puzzled Natalie was a fine girl and
he admired her for what he knew she
was. But Coral In the short, init
mate time he had known her she had
shown him something foreign to his
experience glamour!
Buck went Immediately to his con-
trolS when the routine work was COM
plete. The radio warnings had been
given him. There was a storm and
snow blowing up over the Sierra Ne
Vadas and he'd better make sure of
his instruments. They'd have to
make plenty Of height
The giant transport rolled along the
concrete runway and lifted smoothly
into the rays of setting sun. Buck
circled the field twice to gain altitude
and then swung on the almost direct
route he must follow to Salt Lake
City. Darkness came in two hours
ana with it came slight drizzle and
bumpy air
RUCK glanced significantly at his
co-pilot and grasped his cut-away
wheel more determinedly. He knew
what to expect. The weather reports
came IN accompanied by crashes of
static. The rhythmic beat of the radio
beam annunciator over his head re-
malned steady and strong. Buck
looked at his altitude chart and began
to climb. He'd have to clear 10000
feet pretty soon. And then he began
to wonder if he could. The heavy
ship seemed loggy.
Buck thought clearly The passen-
gers, Natalie came forward to in
form him, were becoming restless be-
cause Of the increasingly rocky air
which tossed the great ship about
And the pilot, his thoughts on that
barren ridge he must clear by a good
thousand feet, began circling his ship
to get up there. Snow was now
clinging to the leading edges of the
wings. Things looked pretty bad
Natalie went back to calm the passen-
gers. Coral she said tersely, was
acting pretty badly about things.
RUCK nodded and looked back to
his instruments. He had no time
for frightened passengers now. not
even Coral. A crack-up on the barren
peaks Of the snow-filled range would
be no joke! The straining of the
motors in the thinning air caused
him concern. The door at his back
opened suddenly and a shrek filled
the tiny room. Buck turned to see
Coral gazing with terrified eyes at
the sheets of snow blotting out the
vision through the windshields. Buck
grunted
We'll make it all right" he said
to Natalie, behind Coral. Take her
to the wash room and lock her in
until we land. I don't care how
much influence she swings with In
ternational!" Natalie smiled grimly
and Buck heard the door slam to
again
The passengers had all been cleared,
Coral among them, and the airport was
nearly deserted. Buck jumped down
beside Natalie. "Thanks!' was all he
said. Then he took Natalie's arm, and
she had hunch that when they were
hidden in booth at the coffee shop

have several other desirable assets at
her instant command-tact, courtesy,
knowledge of human behavior and,
above all, saving sense of humor.
Natalie Reese had all these and, in
addition, even in the regimented sur
roundings of her job, she was top
notch eye-filler.
1t is matter of record that in
her first year of flying with Buck
Stockton on the western run from
Salt Lake City to Los Angeles, Natalie
had had her hands more than full
with the amorouS flirting males who
flew westward over the mountains
with them.
But that was part of her job, she
supposed. Besides, most of the pas
sengers were going to that made place,
Hollywood, and she supposed that
they were just practicing up a bit
before they hit the big time on the
coast Besides, with her knowledge
that Buck was at the controls In the
forward operators cabin, she didn't
worry much!
1t wouldn't be long now, she figured.
before the hulklng young pilot would
overcome his bashfulness in her pres
ence and ask her that old, yet ever
exciting, question. She had seen it in
his eyes and trembling upon his lips
more than once Of late when he
had taken her home after a date
on their off time. And when he did
she knew the answer to the question.
CHE would make prime wife for
a pilot A woman who had been
with Buck on perilous trips over bro
ken country and in rough weather
wouldn't worry, waiting at home for
him to return. She would know that
Buck was reliable Anyway, it took
lot of knowledge of the game to
appreciate the feelings and aims of
professional flyer. They were funda-
mentally a race Of men set apart.
Natalie knew!
What she didn't know was that
the men who made advances toward
her had a feminine counterpart who
was infinitely more deadly. Coral
Matthews had made two round trips
on their flight between Salt Lake
and the City of the Angels before
Natalie sensed that something was
definitely wrong. OF course, she had
seen Buck chatting with the ex-
pensively attired young society bud
before the fjpht and he hod cot in
vacant place and spoke to her while
his co-pilot relieved him over easy
stretches.
RUT it wasn't until they reached
Los Angeles on the third trip that
Coral made an overt play for Buck.
Her town car was waiting at the air.
port, and she invited Buck to ride
downtown with her. He did, leaving
q panied and mortified Natalie stand
ing at the field Office with hint of
tears in her eyes. He had never left
her like that before.
The young pilot meantime was in
quandary. He knew that he had
unWittingly hurt his stewardess. But
Coral Matthews was an important
customer whom he couldn't afford to
offend, She was talking of chartering
his plane for an extended trip through
Mexico. So Buck went along in her
car. He even accepted a dinner in

Encounter in
April

The city dweller deprived Of seed

spring need not feel sorry for him
self. He can stroll to the nearest
bookstall and get a good volume
of verse and if he should pick out
May Sarton's Encounter in April"
he'll be doing the next best thing
to ordering trowel and package
of tulip bulbs.
May Sarton is a new poet but
not unknown. Her father is the
distinguished professor of the his
tory of science at Harvard and she
herself is remembered by students
of the drama through her aSSocia-
ton with Eva LIE Gallienne.
Encounter in April" is by no
means all about spring. 1t tells
in rambling, disconnected fashion,
the Inner story of girls life"
The lyrics, narrative poems and
sonnets stem from the intensely
personal, autobiographic school.
They are the sort of thing you
want to read with the first hint of
spring in the air. The sort you
like to mark and read and clip and
paste. The sort that seem meant
just for you perhaps because they
meant a good deal to the woman
who wrote them.
For example,:
"There have been two strangers
Who met within a wood
And looked once at each other
Where they stood.
And there have been two strangers
Who met among the heather
And did not look at all
But lay down together.
And there have been two strangers
Who met an April day
And looked long at each other
And went their way"
The longer ones are even more
lovely. Still that gives you an idea
Of what to expect, though no sin
gle selection could express Miss
Sarton's infinite charm and va
riety.

TrOUeI at
Its Best

If you haven't fallen under the
subtle spell of Ford MADDOX Ford
and become one of his fans you
could not get better acquainted
with him, much to your delight,
in quicker or more enlightening
manner than reading his latest
Great Trade Route"
In his characteristic indirect
wanderings he takes you in this
volume from Memphis to Memphis.
From the new in the Old World to
the old in the New World and vice
versa. Not that it takes you by
any direct route as he often pre-
tends to be doing. It isn't in this
artist to come directly and sue
cinctly to the point because he
discovers for your leisurely con-
sideration so many interesting by
paths of thought.
There are the nicetieS of a we'll
turned phrase, the perfect word,
the quiet little place that has a
favorite dish just done to the right
turn and the character out of
your favorite classic all at hand
to do your bidding.
OF course, anyone with enough
money and time could make the
same kind Of trips that Mr.. Ford
makes. Ofttimes the rich aunt or
the ne'er-do-well uncle has made
them but it is a subject for no
great argument that no one quite
does them like Mr.. Ford. At least
no one but Mr.. Ford has ever
pounced upon the idea of writing
about them like Mr.. Ford does.
It's the little flights offside that
get you. The little trips in fancy
about this legend is that person
that really weave the spell. OF
course they are all done in an ex-
tremely personal way.
1t is more like Mr.. Ford is show
ing Mr.. Ford MADDOX Ford off to
the places and people instead of
Mr.. Ford showing these places and
people to Mr.. Ford MADDOX Ford.
You see it's no use, it's perhaps
perfectly impossible to write q di-
rect sentence days after you read
Mr.. Ford. It certainly is hard to
make your mind behave and con.
centrate on anything except what
he has written.
Perhaps the best way to sum up
"Great Trade Route" is to say it
is a travel book of personal remi-
niscenses but certainly only such a
book as Mr.. Ford can write.

For one thing, Miss Gordon has
no Scarlett O'Hara to lead you
on and on. Nor does she approach
Mr.. MacKinlay Kantor'S expert
method of linking his fiction and
his history into one stirring pano-
rama. On the contrary, you could
almost divide None Shall Look

battle scenes on the one side and
the incidents which carry the story
along on the other.
The system, if system it is, causes

isn't enough that Nathan Bedford
Forrest actually lived and fought
and taught the Yanks to fear the
