her own stick move and she saw the effect of these movements on the plane.
 "Now on the rudder bar" His voice was quiet and business like. Press on the left and the rudder will swing to the same side, thus changing the direction of the plane toward the left. And pres sure on the right will turn the ship in that direction"
 Anne was alert to response of stick and rudder to the light al- most imperceptible pressure put upon them.
 When we are in the air." Cap tain Douglas went on, T will show you again how even a slight movement of the rudder and the stick controls the plane"
 Her instructor signaled the at- tendant mechanic to start the en- zine, and seconds later the prop was whirling and the checks were away from the wheels.
 "Lood forward. watch the hori- zon and the nose of the ship as l take off" Dick told her as the ship went into the wind and he gave" 1t the gun.
 The ship rose in a long, slow climb, above the trees in the pas- ture beyond the airport, over the clubhouse of the nearby golf club, and then it 1eveled of, its nose pointed directly at the horizon.
 There are four basic fundamen- tals of flying" Dick explained, straight and level flight, the climb, the glide and the turn. You have seen all of these demonstrat- ed in the past couple of minutes, and you'll see, as your instructions continue, that all flying technique consists of the use of combinations of these"
 Once again, Anne was told to follow her companions motions as he used stick and rudder. At each change in pressure, she was con- scious of the response of the ship. Her hand was holding the stick and her feet were upon the bar, the nose of the ship on the hori- zon, when she glanced at her in- structor, and saw that his hands were resting on his knees, and that his feet were not on the rud- der bars.
 The realization that she was flying the plane herself terrified her momentarily and she clutched firmly upon the stick, pressing heavily to the right on the rudder bar. The ship turned to the right, but Captain Douglas shook his head.
 Not so hard,' he warned, as he took over the controls himself. Anne relaxed at once and her touch again was light and easy as she followed his actions.
 Before long, the handling oi controls was given to her again and this time, she used her hands and feet in an attempt to co-ordi' nate and controls properly.
 After a few brief explanation! of the simpler maneuvers of thu plane, Dick turned the ship to- ward the airport, circled 1t onct and coming into the wind, landed on the long runway.
 Anne was smiling as he helped her from the ship. Tony and the shooting, at least for the time, hac been forgotten. Dicks terse "Nice going!" made everything right. 1 But at that moment Tony was stepping from a phone booth at the Villa Aloha, his face white witt rage. He had just made his eightl' attempt to reacn Anne by telephone and been told, for the eighth time that she was not in.
 He had to admit that his care. fully laid plan had backfired. Ht had hoped and planned that Anne's visit to the roadhoust would be discovered. He hac reasoned that if she were expelled from Midland University, and in volved in scandal, he could induce her to marry him immediately.
 When the shooting had taker place, his first thought had beer to get away before the police ar rived. His second thought hat been that this was marvelou chance to involve Anne in a mast! mess. He had known that sh' would resent his assertion of he but he had thought that it woult be balanced later by her gratitud' to him for standing by her whel other friends deserted her.
 But, by some miracle, she hat gotten safely away. Now she re fused to have anything more to d. with him. He had to admit tha he had lost. Tony Scott was not good loser.
 He slumped down at the bar his chin on his hand, and growled Harry, I'd give lot to know hoy that girl got away from here"
 The bartender stopped polishing glasses long enough to say, If vol
