good American breakfast - fruit

After Mrs. Roosevelt had held a
press conference with newspaper

people to desperation. the royal
couple was presented to the 81
assembled women reporters.
Talks With Morgan
There followed quick drive
back out to the 81 900 900 British
embassy. On the same spacious
lawns where Thursday 400 of
American official and social elite
attended the garden party-and
the king chstted long with J. p.

greeted with lusty "hip-hip-
hooray" shouted by 1000 British
subjects from points as far distant
as the British West Indies and the
far reaches of Canada. who by
hsppen-chance or design were in
Washington.
The party then drove swiftly
through flag-spangled streets to
the capitol. The king wore formal
morning attire. The queen. radiant

schedule. wore a white flat crepe
dress with silver accents.
Royalty Cheered
Forty-five minutes were sllot-
ted TO the congressional reception.
Cheers resounded from the
crowds in the capitol plaza and the
party assembled the capitol steps
and entered the rotunda.
There the scene was redolent of
associations barking back to the
dark and bloody days when Amer
ica's 10 colonies rose in revolt
against George IIl-and of the

independence fought against Brit

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

THE MINISTER was interested
in the predicament of the two avi
ators who wanted quietly to place
their frenzied confederate in a hos.
pital under surveillance.
Jacks life's not worth a quar-
ter. if the mans around with a
gum" Bob said, sitting in deeply
cushioned, shabby chair, his leg
stretched out before him.

wired headquarters and asked for
assistance. Tomorrow the man will
be taken under scrutiny. It's to-
night
A low rumble of thunder sound
ed outside and Sarah Anne noticed
that the sky had gre dark and
the night was cold. She wished
that Lynn Rhodes would come with
Corrinne. She supposed she should
start to the carnival again, to tell
them she was in town. Or maybe
she should go after them. But she
felt weary.
She closed her eyes against the
backdrop of the mems voices.
When her mother went to prepare
sandwiches and hot chocolate she
went along, but her body felt list
less and tired. She saw that Bob's
face was flushed and his eyes were
overly bright. She looked down at
his leg. He moved it a little and
he bit his lips as he did it. He was
suffering and keeping still about
it. She interrupted.
"Bob's leg is bad, Jack. Can't we
look after that?"
What a Ounce am" Jack was
concern Immediately. So were the
otherS. Pillows were added to raise
the incumbent member, and the
discussion, punctuated with long,
distance calls and calls to the air
port, continued. Sarah Anne knew
few of the technical terms. She

stepped aside while Jack talked
to Bob. Suddenly he said: Whose
car is this? ?"
"Mr. Rhodes" she answered.
Think he would take us to town
in a hurry?"
"He might. I'll find him."
Only she couldn't find him for a
long time. She ran from booth to
booth. She asked the people she
knew. She wasn't important to
Jack, or Bob Funny to include
Bob. She was just doing a job for
them. But it helped to be busy,
to be active about their business.
She came upon Lynn Rhodes and
Corrinne at last. They were in the
dance pavilion. But it wasn't Lynn
with whom COrrinne was dancing
It was Bob Ransom. And she was
arguing fiercely with him. Both of
their faces were scornful, proud
hurt.
Lynn was watching with de-
tached amusement. Sarah Anne
stated her errand. The man tossed
her the keys. Let them take the
car. Well take a cab back"
She slipped away again. The
men were still talking. Bing had
disappeared.
Then, on strange impulse, she
said: "Ill drive you in."
She was alone in front as the
car shot down the road. Fast and
faster. She liked the feel of the
powerful engine that turned under
her control. She liked the mys-
terry of the fragrant night that
surrounded her. She could rush on

her lips such brief time before.

She resented. that, and wondered
why she thought she had a right

trouble to him as it was.

saying. "This bird used to be an

Not all true" Jack added. "He

lightly as she could, wrinkling her
nose with it. seven freckles. "Now

Sarah Anne looked at Jack, that
handsome, healthy, lean, clean

and realized that never before had
she done that. Always she had been
under the spell of his shining
wings, the impetus of his upward
will. He had not told Judy where

meant to be secretive or unkind.
He just hadn't thought.
He hadn't come back to Perry

years or more. He hadn't written
to her, Sarah Anne, more than
twice. But she had thought that he
was busy, that she was not inpor-

that the thought flashed on a
screen in her mind, white, bright,
binding, she wondered if Jack
ever thought much beyond himself.
Instantly she was ashamed.
