CHAPTER XI.
(COntinued.)

Jim stopped on his way to the
plant the next morning. 1t was
only 7:30, and Joan had just awoke
She talked to him through the
apartment tube.
Il thought you'd like to 60 out
and see the plane tested" Jim said.
Thanks, jim, but I'm not
dressed Maybe I'll come out later"
"Okay. I'll leave my car here for
you"
why? Are you afraid I won't
Gomez"
He laughed. Something like that
I talked to John this morning. The
detectives haven't found Mike Hal
loran. But the ones on guard at
the hangar reported that nothing
happened during the night. I guess
everything is all right"
Joan was silent moment, then
said: II have the darndest feeling,
Jim . . that something is wrong"
Forget it. You'll be afraid of
the dark next"
He went away then. Joan slowly
went through mechanical process
of bathing, dressing and breakfast
ing She wasn't going out. to the
plant.
Jim had told her a few days ago
that there would be Army officers
and a representative from the
French purchasing mission. Mark
Lanning would be there, waiting
to know if he should invest mil
lions in the future of North Air
craft. Laura Ward would be there,
too, clinging to Johns arm and
feigning excited interest. Joan
closed her eyes tightly to shut out
the sight her mind conjured up.
Let's Plane Crash.
The morning dragged. Nine
O'Clock 10 II. She
thought Jim would phone her. He
would know she hadn't come. 1t
was nearly II when he did phone
And his voice was fiat with bitter
disappointment.
Il hate to tell you, JOAN" he
began.
''The plane, JIM"
"It handled all right at first"
he said duly. "Then John radioed
Costigan to maneuver at top speed.
1t flew pretty shakily then"
But this was only the trial
flight" Joan said. "Costigan wasn't
used to handling it,"
HE had it up yesterday, Joan.
And Jake Costigan can fly anything
with wings. You see-well, after
he'd maneuvered 1t awhile John or
dered him to 60 into a power dive.

Answer to Yesterdays Puzzle.

said, Mike, he did crash the plane
He bailed out and let it crack up!"
Mike nodded gloomly. That
what I was going to tell you over
the phone. I'm a mug for letting him
stop me. But I didn't think he was
wise to me. The guy Jake got the
bribe from told him just how to
work it. And he told Jake to fix
the other ship to crash if anybody
tried to fly it.
Did you know the man. Mike?'
mo, but Jake called him Lam
ming"
Joan nodded, biting her lip. Scott
Lanning. She should have guessed
that. Then wave of relief swept
over her. The plane had been all
right. Jake Costigan had deliber-
atty crashed it.
She said. Mike, you stay here
and rest until I get back. I'm going
to the plant and tell John North"
She ran to the bedroom for her
hat and coat. She hurried from the
apartment and down the stairs. She
was glad Jim Bromley had left his
car for her.
There was knot of employees
standing on the flying field, Jim
Bromley among them. There was a
plane in the air, circling at about
1000 feet. Joan heard the roar of it's
engine. She jumped from the car
and looked up. It was silvery In the
sunlight. 1t was bullet-shaped. 1t
was the second of the two ships
built from Jim Charters designs.
Joan felt panic close on her throat
like a wise. She could guess who
piloted the plane. John North. And
Mike had said it had been fixed to
crash. She ran to Jim Bromley and
gripped his arm.
Jim, I've seen Mike Halloran
That plane is fixed to crash. You've
got to radio John!"
Jim gave her a stricken look.
"The plane inst fully equipped.
There is no radio in it yeti"

To make a long story short, the
ship got out of control during the
dive. Costigan had to bale out. He
said when he grounded that the
plane had begun to 60 to pieces. A
wing was about to rip off.
Despair swept over Joan and her
voice sounded frozen as she said |:
And he let the ship crash? Oh,
how could he! How could he!"
He had to save himself, joan
She braced herself. Yes" hol-
lowly. Yes, of course, he had to
save himself. But it's so hard to
believe the plane was a failure"
ITS a bad break. For John
North and you"
There's no hope of John getting
the loan then?'
Mike Tells of Plot.
NO" Jim said. Mark Lanning
expressed his regrets and took him
self off. The Army men went too,
1t looks like the end of North Air
craft under John North
1t was bad break. And as she
put down the telephone, Joan knew
that John North couldn't feel any
worse about it than she. What hurt
John North, hurt her. He meant
that much to her
Her apartment bell rang, and
she went to answer. The voice
that came up the tube said, Its
Mike Halloran, joan"
She told him to come up and
pressed the button to unlock the
lower door. She waited at her
apartment door as Mike came
slowly, heavily up. He wore a
bandage over his left temple. His
homely face was pale and haggard.
He looked i'll.
Joan said, mike what hap
pened?" She took his arm and led
him inside. In the living room he
sank YEARLY into a chair.
'It was Jake Costigan," Nike
said bitterly. "He caught me phon-
ing you last night and slugged me
with wrench. I came to in the
cellar OF the rooming house where
he and stay. 1 was tied and
gagged, and it wasn't until this
morning that I managed to get
loose. 1 got out to the street and
passed out again. Somebody took
me to doctor. After that l came
here"
But why, Mike? Why did he
hit you? Why did he tie you up?"
Because I overheard him talk

to let the plane crash when he
tested 1t this morning"
