for a split second. He waited for
the ripping, crushing sound that
would mean the wings had taken
the gravity pull harder than he
and had been ripped of. But the
sound didn't come. Not as it had
for Jake Costigan.
Incredulous, he glanced to each
side. The airfoils were intact. The
ship was all right.
On the ground, but with some
vital part of her up in that plane
with John North, Joan gripped
hard on Jim Bromley's arm. She
saw the ship come out of the dive,
and her heart began to beat again.
The tightness went out of her
throat.
Jim Bromley's voice startled her.
Hes coming in! And the ships
all right. It's all right Joanl"s
Landing Gear Stuck.
But the plane wasn't all right.
Instead Of coming In, John swept
over the field and climbed again.
He circled about and flew over the
field at 200 feet. Then the little
group OF watching people realized
what was wrong. The planes re-
tractable landing gear was still in
the fuselage. John couldn't lower it.
Joan's heart seemed to stand still
again. This was what Jake Costi-
gan had done to wreck the second
ship. John couldn't land it. He'd
have to bail out. Jim Bromley was
looking at Joan; he shook his head.
She knew that he too felt the deep
hurt of this last-minute failure.
If ever get my hands on Costi-
gam he muttered, and he looked
about without seeing the pilot. They
both knew that Jake Costigan had
taken his crooked money and dis
appeared.
Joan saw Laura Ward drive up to
the edge of the field in a roadster
Laura was looking up at the plane
as it roared over again. She waved
her arm. Joan looked away. Laura
wouldn't know what this minute
meant
The plane came in. It's landing
speed was 70 miles an hour, too
fast for landing. Too fast
Joan was certain, for anything but
to crack up. She was gripping Jim
Bromley's arm again. She wanted
to turn her eyes away, afraid to
witness what was certain to come
If ever there had been any Char
ters' luck. - she breathed it
like fervent prayer.
Slides to a Stop.
John came in. and the plane
struck hard on its fuselage. For one
terrible second it seemed about to
pile up in battered wreck. But
it righted, slid and bounced along
the ground and came to a stop.
The plane had gone far across the
field, close to where Laura Ward

John North and Laura Ward
were being shown to a nearby
table. Scott rose and said: Join us.
We have some good news for you"
Laura said, Lets, John and
they came to the table, John fol-
lowed reluctantly. When they were
seated Laura said: What is the
news?"
Scott said: Joan and are be-
ing married tomorrow.
Lauras dark eyes met Joaa's
gray ones. She smiled mockingly.
Congratulations. Joan"
"You too, John?" Scott asked.
Sure. Why not? Congratula-
tions."
Talk dwindled and they watched
the floor show. John was taciturn.
He showed no sign of anger for
what Scott had done. That, Joan
knew, would come another time
when the two men were alone.
After while Laura saw some &C
quaintances across the room and
excused herself to go chat with
them. The orchestra was playing
again. John North said Dance
Joan?"
She was about to refuse, but his
eyes told her to assent. She rose
and went out onto the dance floor
with him. 1t was the first time they
had danced together. His eyes held
hers; seemed to probe her mind and
heart.
Look, Joan-I love you"
NO" she said. NO you don't.
You think I'm-well Jim Bromley
told me what you think of me-"
We love one another We've got
to do something about it."
I'm doing something about it.
I'm doing my best to forget you"

said, giving each word an angry

And have you forever think
nasty things of me? Oh, no, John
mol"
He was silent in a grimly stub
born way, his fine face hard. They
returned to Scott and when they
were seated Joan said lightly:
John wants me to marry him,
Scott Think Of that-two proposals
tonight"
John remained standing He said:
"Yes, I proposed And, Scott, I'm
taking Joan away-right now Don't
get In my way"
Scott laughed and looked at Joan
"Masterful, eh?'
Yes Joan agreed But he
doesn't really want me, Scott. You
see, he thinks I have past. And
that you are part of it. Laura
told him lies about us-slandering
our regulations"
Laura did?" Scott laughed Bit
terly She would. She's the
smoothest liar you'll ever meet.
John. Aren't you smart enough to
see through scheming chisler like
her?'
Joan looked up at John, her eyes
sparkling.
He looked at her and shook his
head slowly Il should have dis
trusted Laura from experience"
Then: Coming, Joan? Or must 1 use
force and cause a scene?"
Joan reached out and patted
Scott's hand. Sorry. Scott" she
said softly. I'm running away
again" She rose quickly, leaving
Scott looking dumfounded. She
slipped her arm through John
North's.
This" she said, looking steadily
into his eyes, "is real Charters

mayor has endorsed Attorney Mi

executive committee of the Demo-

record for Blansfleld.
The mayor has remained oflcially

Senator George T. Culhane, candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
in the 18th district, took the spot
light last evening in his campaign
for a fourth term in the General
Assembly and decidedly popped up"
what has been generally regarded as
nstlesS primary contest. Speaking
before a representative gathering of
his supporters at The Elton last eve
ming Senator Culhane declared that
his work in the Legislature is mat
ter Of record, which he would debate
with his opponent and the same APP
piled OF his personal record.
The spark that touched of the
meeting was his reference to a state
ment credited to Mayor Vincent A.
Scully In which his honor denied

Culhane an dassuring him as early
as last October that he would not
be opposed nj this campaign.
