| the whole matter, washed it UP,
by word or two. And she
wouldn't"
The plane went winging on,
closer and closer to the stars. And
Sarah Anne, with the night wind
wild against her face, thought of
Judy, brave and tall and amber
golden, refusing to stoop to say
that she had disliked Bing, when
for a little while she had not. She
thought, too, of Jack, not UNDER
standing, hunting desperately for a
sign that he couldn't find.
Even in the sky the trouble rode.
Maybe one never escaped anything,
not on the peaks or in the lowest
valleys.
"You don't understand, Jack.
Judy's loyal and isn't telling you
the truth. She never cared about
Bing-she loves you"
But the mans pride was hurt.
His armOr, so gay and shining and
courageous, had been wounded. He
would not accept explanations.
The web was drawing closer and
closer. 1t was reaching out to in
clude so many people. And now the
stars were slipping down the sky,
and the wind was coming higher
and faster. The plane sWayed un-
evenly and Jack turned it around
and started home.
Far beyond Judy swung her ship
around, too. But she did not come
down until she thought chat Jacks
plane was stored away for the
night. She did not know that he
had drawn Sarah Anne into the
shadow of the hanger, where they
watched until she was safe.
If she had, her face might not
have been SO white, her eyes so
bright and fearless, as she climbed
into her car to start back to town.
1--WE need each other again."
Sarah Anne whispered to herself.
"Life's like a recurring rhythm.
The beat comes back"
She looked again at Jacks pro-
file. 1t was lean, strong, deter
mined, a little hard tonight. And
hurt. It reminded her of Bob Ken
nedys. They were much alike, these
two. It was just that Bob had a lit
tie more humor, little more care
less gaiety behind which he con-
cealed the steel.
The thought of Bob -.lade her
heart plunge, just as though she
were in plane diving down a
cloud bank. Bob had not believed
her. He had taken her for gay
sort of person without stability, the
type Of person she didn't know how
to be, and suddenly wanted to be.
Funny how I turn to you in time
of trouble" Jack was saying. why
do I do it? Unless-I need you."

she managed to answer. "I'll stick
around until you're well. You and
Judy will make it up"
He didn't answer. He was stop

too. She saw Corrinne and the two

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE


HALF AN HOUR after the dis.
missal of the class in child educa.
tion, Sarah Anne stood by her car
alone, watching shadows become
confused as the wind blew harder
across the campus. In her hand she
clutched a check for tWenty-SiX
dollars. It was the amount of the
tuition of the night school course
The instructor had been kind in
smooth, mechanical manner. He
knew that she would not care to
attend the remaining sessions of
the class. Naturally she would hes
itate to ask for a refund, but the
college was most happy to reim-
burse her in full.
She had heard a husky voice,
oddly like her own, murmur: "Oh,
thank you! People are so kind"
Then she was alone, under the
trees.
She could see the road stretching
out before her as she followed it
home. But it did not really lead
home. Home was place of hap
piness, laughter, friends. Nc, that
path went on to greater loneliness.
To something called aloneness.
But even in her misery she was
glad that Bob Ransom was going
to marry Corrinne. They We're so
young, but maybe this was wise.
Love could come when you were
young or it could wait until you
were old. Her grandmother had told
her often of a great grandmother
who had loved at II, left her home
and flower garden in New England,
and crossed the mountains with a
youth whom she had chosen
against the whole. world They had
sat by the fire at night, watching
the smoke from the home Of future
days going spiralward to the tops
of the tallest trees. They had
known that they would find Canaan
if the wagon wheels held. But they
had not been afraid. They had each
other.
So it was better that Corrinne
had Bob as she hunted for another
Eden. Her father and mother would
have been more lost than they
were if they did not have each
other And Judy It was then that
she thought of Judy's old friend
ship with Bing Wells and the possi-
b:hty that her friend might be in
volved in this unhappy drama.
Everyone knew that Bing had
been an amusing escort for Judy.
In a sense Judy was in this mess
even more than she and Corrinne.
Only Judy was the daughter of an
influential, wealthy man, and she
and Corrinne were the children of
preacher, and the world drew a
heavy line between the two.
Yet the story of the friendship
between Judy and Bing did get out
Sarah Anne learned about it from
Jack.
He stopped at the parsonage one
evening, day or two after the
college class incident, and honked
the horn of his new roadster. Even
tually Sarah Anne went out to the
curb. His eyes were narrowed,

will you take me up?" she
asked impulsively. After all, in the
clouds you could look down or
trouble. Maybe the tangled threads

"Seen the parachute tower at the
field ?" he asked.
'I haven't been to the field fol
long time. I haven't been thinking
much about it lately"
Poor kid" His hand rested or
hers for a moment. TITS a rotten

Don't, please. might cry and
it's one of the things I've made up
my mind never again to do"
II don't like tears, so We'll talk
about something like salted pea
nuts. There's a popcorn stand" He
pulled up and honked his horn until
the curb attendant came. Then he
ordered two bags of peanuts and
two boxes of hot, buttered popcorn.
He began to talk about the para
chute tower. "There aren't many in
the country. Ours is about $50 feet
high. There are two ways of MAX
ing jump. One with a regular
parachute and one in a chair when
you're showed into space. This is to
be a drawing card. A lot of jump
ers and flyers can test their nerve
here"
At the moment the parachute
tower was only an aviation gadget
to Sarah Anne. She did not suspect
how soon it was to be important
Jack hunted up mechanic and
asked him to get plane ready for
a brief hop. Sarah Anne, standing
alone at the side of the apron, was
aware of slim, tall figure in white
who came across the field.

can all go up. Jack took pity on me

Judy didn't smile, but her hand

to fly a while and think about

"Of course" Even then Sarah
Anne was sure that Judy merely
wanted to do some silent check
ing up.
But when she was sitting in back
of Jack, flying northward, she
caught sight of Judy's plane, 60
ing too fast. Jack spied it at the
same time. He picked up the speak
ing tube.
Sarah Anne, is that Judith's
ship?" He waited. "You were near
when the plane took off,"
Eyes, Jack. She wanted to think
about things-she knew Bing be-
cause he worked for her father and
she probably hates to have faith
as badly as Corrinne and
I did,"
Jacks voice came back swiftly.
Don't try to ease the blunt of it,
Sarah Anne. She liked the guy,
didn't she? It's all over town. And
she didn't deny it when I ques-
toned her. She could have ended

CITY PAYS HIGH
 TRIBUTE TO DEAD.
Annual Holiday Parade Is Largest, Most Spectac-
 ular in Many Years

Memorial day was observed in solemn fashion in Waterbury yes- terday as the community halted its activities to pay tribute to the memories of those who fought un- der the nations colors. The ob- servance was featured by the an- nual holiday parade, which was the largest in many years. The days program also included memorial services.
 Many took advantage of the holi- day to enjoy motor trips. Lake and shore resorts, most of which opened for the season only asfew days ago, had large crowds. The weather was fair and warm, with the highest temperature being 89 degrees.
 City Traffic Light
 Traffic in the city was light after the morning parade, but there was a large amount of through traffic and highways about the state were crowded with cars. The city escaped any serious automobile accidents.
 The days program began with a memorial mass at the Church of the Immaculate Conception at 8 o'clock. with Rev. Francis M. O'Shea as the celebrant.
 This was followed by services at the Soldiers and Sailors monument, at the west end of the Green. Rev. Conner Lewis. pastor of the Third Congregational church, was the principal speaker. The responsibili- ties held by those who have passed away now rest with the present generation, he said, and the prin- ciples for which they fought must be upheld. Commander Lester Flood of the Sons of Union Veterans pre- sided at the ceremonies, and paid tribute to the late Wales Porter, the last local surviving veteran of the Civil war. The service was arranged by the Sons of Union Veterans. Daughters of Union Veterans and Wadham's Women's Relief Corps.
