and steady, then TAXED across the
field.
Now came the moment that
never failed to thrill Jackie, that
last rushing contact with the
earth, and then that swift upward
surge as they left it behind. 1t

the world below that was falling
away, rather than the plane that
was moving. There was always
that other moment, too, when
they had gained altitude and
started flying on level, in which
the ship seemed to have stopped
suddenly, held suspended by I'M
seen hands high up in the heav-
ems.
Jackie forgot everything else
for awhile, even Roger close be-
side her, as she looked down
watching the miracle of night
take place. She almost held her
breath it was so beautiful. the
gathering shadows growing darker
and darker and then the little
blinking lights turning on one by
one in tiny toy villages until the
world lay all glittering and dane
ing, like a lady's sequin shawl.
The stars came out, too, myriads
of them, and the moon, round and
golden, trailed along behind, as
Roger had promised.
Only after she had filled all her
senses, as one might breathe
deeply of some strange hypnotic
fragrance, did Jackie remember,
with little start, that he had
made her another promise, as
! well.

ward him. at will have to be a

They had only. to raise their voic-

silent admiration.
Or again perhaps the moon

getting longer, so now as Jackie
