"Sick Onicers' Quarters" said the nurse to the man in the elevator, Judy's heart was beating wildly, ana the palms of her hands were damp
 Jack was lying fiat on the pea His face was pale, his eyes were closed. There was a heavy white plaster cast encasing his shoulder and under the covers it made a lump, as if it extended down ms side.

 "Judyl" He wasn't unconscious. He wasn't! She was so thankful tears came into her eyes. She dropped into the chair beside the bed. "On, "JackI" There was nothing else she could say; words wouldn't come. She could only look at him, drinking m his face, the shining eyes, the glad ness that glowed from him to her.
 "Lieutenant Hanley has had a very tough three hours" said the nurse professionally. Getting him into cast, and X-rays first, ana he's very tired" She did not say, "oYu mustn't stay long," But It was there.
 Judy asked her, Exactly what what are the injuries?"
 The nurse said, Commander Sloane will be here and you may ask him. He's on this floor, but he's busy right now"
 When she had gone, Judy touched Jacks hand. The one that wasn't bandaged. She said, "Oh, Jack, I-1 almost died! I'm so glad you're alive! I'll never, never be such a fool again. Just get will! Get well for me?"

CHAPTER XXI

It was only another casualty in the long list of many. The papers carried headlines, Navy Flyers Crash at Sea-" Just as they had run headlines when the Akron went down: just as they Haunted the tragedy of the trapped submarine. But to Judy A1cott, waiting for the Relief to come in, and to Diane Bell, who was left alone with her baby, 1t was agony too deep to bear. NOW Judy understood, why the wives or the lighter-than-air men, that morning at Lakehurst, had tried to smile. Now she could understand why they had gone on, bravely, talk ing up their lives where the threads had broken, shrinking from sym pathy, wanting nothing but to be left alone. That was all she wanted, now.
 The reporters who came, the heartless, businesslike voices on the telephone, revolted her. She shrank from contact with the outside world. She wanted to hide from them all' Tonight-tomorrow at the latest the hospital ship would come m' and she would know at last the answer to the questions which tor mented her.
 Was Jack going to live? How bad ly was he hurt? If he didn't pull through, she thought passionately' she wouldn't want to live either.
 Then, hearing the baby cry. and Diane's -choked voice quieting him, Judy knew that she must put aside her personal problems. Jack was alive. That was enough for now. Alive, with a fighting $chance. But Bill was irrevocably gone. There was no hope for Diane, nothing she could cling to and find comfort in Except the baby.
