They had taken out the usual
trial-flight insurance. Pete said,
"Here goes" and got into the
pilots cockpit.
After a short run, he applied
the brakes. She felt swell on
the ground. His baby! He ran
her back and forth across the
field again and again, always
carefully under flying speed.
He tested the rudder, the
brakes, the ailcrons, the flaps.
He tested those borrowed, eX-
pcnsivcly powerful engines
and propcllers.
At last he TAXED to the far
end of the field for fight and
turned her into the wind. He
knew that Johnny, there by
the fence, was murmuring
tense and passionate prayers.
His own lips were moving, too.
He wasn't going to do any 9-g
pullouts, but he was going to
put her through stiff PAGES. II
she came out the way he
thought she would!
HE TOPPED the trees at the
edge of the field. The ship
handled beautifully. Sensitive
and dependable. He could feel
her response to his least touch.
He circlcd the field, and
watched his Instruments. He
and Johnny had predicted,
with their one-tenth size model,
all these reactions to within 2
per cent. You couldn't beat
careful engineering for re.
suits!
His ears, incredibly more
sensitive than any man-made
instrument, told him the ship
was justifying all that work,
all those hours and days and
weeks stewing over involved
figures and formulas. She was
really quiet. That engines roar

With him went his favorite
colored-egg producer, one Bes-
sic, New Hampshire Red.
1t was evident to IMr. Kirk
that even the radio people had
some misrepresentation over the
ability of Bessie to produce
colored yolk eggs. They might
have suspected even that the
art of legerdemain entered into
this business of producing eggs
with pastel yolks.
The performers gathered for
a final rehearsal on the after
noon of the broadcast. Phillips

Lord, who was the originator
of the program, was present as
a special guest. He had with
him a little boy who was to tell
the radio audience the story of
his lost dog.
AS the group was receiving
final instructions, the little boy
ran up, shouting breathlcssly.
"Mr. Lord, Mr.. Lord, Bessie's
just laid an egg"
There was a rush to Bessie's
coop. She was cackling proud
ly over production of an egg
that was to all outward appear

ances normal in every respect.
The announcer reached out
for the egg. The fact that it
was still warm was evidence
that no human hand could have
tempered with its yolk.
Mr.. Kirk invited the announc-
er to break it into a dish. 1t had
green yolk!
The script of Mr.. Kinks
broadcast had been changed
several times during the pre-
broadcast preliminaries. The
one that was finally used was
handed to him just an hour be-

GAS a matter of fact" Pete
said levelly, looking him right
in the eyes, 81 had an offer
today. We're finishing our ship
right away"
Good" shouted Lem hol-
lowly. "Good!" But he hated
the idea.
After he was safely out of
that elevator, Pete knew he'd
been a fool. But it was done.
And he squirmcd to think of
LENS wicked enjoyment if
that ship never found a
hacker :.
TWO DAYS later, Pete was
sitting moodily on an upturned
box looking at the ship, care
fully covered with canvas.
She'd never fly. Their last
prospect had turned them
down.
A taxi slid to a stop in the
weedgrown driveway. An ex-
uberant Johnny spilled out of
it. ~ got the dough! Five
thousand dollars! Oh boy!
We're going to polish off that
baby in no time, and the Pres
ton people will lend us the
engines. Oh boy, oh boy"
"Whcre did you get the
money!"
"a half-wit named Whitley.
Oh boy, oh boy!"
And then, after more weeks
of slavery, the job was done.
The borrowed engines on the
special shock absorbcrs Pete
had designed himself were in
place. Together he and Johnny
pushed the ship out into the
sunshine one morning and
looked at their handiwork.
"I'd kinda like to call her
the Hilary" Pete said sheep
ishly. "Still, Whitely's the guy

night in my prayers. Johnny

fore the nationwide broadcast.
1t provided that Bessie and
one of her unique eggs should
appear in the broadcast. While
the egg fancier was telling his
story Bessie, who had hitherto
been a most refined and sedate
hen, cackled vociferously and
with something of the bragga.
docio as Mr.. Kirk recited her
unusual talents.
1t later developed that it took
some physical persuasion on the
part of Phillips Lord, who stood
beside Bessie to make her con.
tribute to her own sound eff.

When the announcer broke an
egg before the studio specta-
tors the audible expression Of
establishment was proof enough
that the egg was all Mr.. Kirk
had said it was.
Mr.. Kirk finds that, as a rule,
men are more hesitant about
eating colored-yoll eggs than
women.
OF all those with whom he
came into contact in New York,
a girl reporter on one of the
metropolitan dailics was the
only one who would venture to
sample one of the eggs.
Despite her assertions that
the egg was the very acme of
excellence, she couldn't induce
the gentlemen of the press to
try one of Bessie's best.
Now Mr.. Kirk is back at his
home in Hilton going about his
experiments of making good
eggs even better.
Regarding his colored-egg
yolk tests, he declared smilingly
that:
you have to be careful with
experiments of this sort"
He cited the sad case of Jen-
ME, one of Bessie's feathered
colleagues.
Jennie laid a beautiful egg.
1t broke in her coop and she's
never been the same since she
saw its purple yolk."
