enough so that humrning air made
me nervous and then I remembered
it must be the squadron coming in.
We could hear them circle the field
above low clouds and off to the
right they came through, broke
formation, turned the length of the
field one by one, banking sharply,
and landed on another runway, out
of sight.
Dispersal a Big Word.
Gerald looked at the empty field.
We could see only two or three
plane bays. He said:
THAT is called dispersal. Dis
persal is a big word in this war.
Everything has to be dispersed 50
that not much of it can be hit at a
time. 1t is not as hard as you think.
1t works very we'll"
"The German dispersal is excel
lent" he added as an afterthought.
He should have known, since his
job is to photograph it.
On another fighter field we visited,
the ships were not in bays but simply
stood here and there behind and
beyond gently rolling hills. Gerald s
brothers squadron was here and
we were directed to his hut en- the
far side of the field. quite a long
walk from the headquarters. 1t was
a galvanized iron hut about Is feet
long with an arched roof and it had
a sofa and some chairs and table
and a monkey in 1t. Two pilots had
bought the monkey over week end
in London. They were afraid it
would catch cold so they had an
electric heater propped on a chair
pointed at it.
There were Is or 20 pilots in this
little room and they all got up and
stood when we came in, because
Gerald is a wing commander. Thev
filled the room until you could hardly
see it or them. Their costumes
we're identical. On their feet were
heavy flying boot and around their
chests and backs they wore bright
yellow life preservers which punched
into funny shapes. They call the
life preservers Mae Vests" and
they must always wear them.
Their parachutes were in the seats
of their plane and their helmets
with their earphones and oxygen
masks hung on the sticks of their
ships. They were ready as they
stood in flying boots and Mae
Vests" to run out onto the field and
climb into their machines at any
minute.
While we were making awkward
conversation, the motors outside

out with us to show us around.
A few feet from the hut there was

the air. It faced bit away, its nose
pointed down into q pit about Is
yards ahead. The squadron leader

was q board with names painted
on 1t. I went over to read it. The
names were Of members Of the
squadron who had been decorated
and the decorations and the dates
were listed. It went back to 1915.
Second name on the list was my
friend Gerald Maxwell's. I pointed
1t out to him and he was embar-
rassed. He said:
"Yes, this is Squadron Sc. 1t was
Balls squadron first and then had

He said 1t was flying Hurricanes

the gun was fitted into the wing
because the fabric was off, and I
could also see how the magazine
fed 1t its shells. The machine guns
in an airplane's wing can fire only
for eight seconds continuously. But
this may be as many as 18 bursts
Of fire. All the machine guns-or
all the cannons-fire at once.

We walked on over to q Hurricane.

one Of them saw that was con-
fused. He said:
"They watch the thermostats and
when the motors get cool they warm
them up again. You see they always
have to be kept warmed up"
Before we left the hut the motors
had been turned of again.
I thought, These are the young
men who fight the Luftwaffe every
day. They are on duty now. If the
gong outside rings they will rush
past me and go out to kill or be

CHAPTER TwENTY-FouR

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
For the first time since COM
ing to Argentina, Sheila Clayton
cried herself to sleep. The situa-
ton seemed hopeless. Even If she
overlooked the fact that Raoul had
lied to her accepting his explana-
ton which she did not doubt was
true that he did it to spare her
feelings the bloom Of their ro-
nance had been destroyed.
Love was such a delicate flower.
II could be bruised by a single
careless touch: its exquisite tex
ture never restored Sheila told
herself that no matter how much
she pretended she would never feel
quite the same about Raoul again.
1t was not just the fact that
this particular girl had meant so
much to him. Sheila could have
forgiven him If he had been frank
with her.
II was his smooth evasion of
the situation which frightened her.
Recalling their conversation on
the day of the incident in the
beauty shop she remembered that
Raoul had not definitely denied
her accusations.
He had answered Sheila with
such dignified reproach that he
had managed to put her on the
defensive. He had asked, do ]
have to defend myself against
such a charge ?" He had insisted
that it should not be necessary for
him to deny it, Thereby confus-
ing the issue until in the end she
was the one who had apologized.
But even though her confidence
in him was sorely shaken Sheila
was not sure that she should give
him up. II only there had been
some one she might have asked
for advice. Some one whose in
terest was impersonal. Jim was
too prejudiced.
The fact that he loved her made
il impossible for him TO see the
situation as it really was. She
didn't want to be narrowminded
as Raoul seemed TO think she was.
She had boosted to Jim that she
was not child and she loved

living in this same town. Are en-
graved marriage announcements
ever sent out for third marriage
Mother has friends everywhere due
20 the fact that my own fathers
business took us all over the coun-
try, and that her second husband
was an army man. We thought the
announcements would be easiest.
because writing as many notes as
she has friends would be a good
deal of chore. In the event that
this would not be out of place.
whose name should appear at the

case. please give the wording.

marriage is. must acknowledge,

Raoul so terribly much. She loved
him faults and everything just as
Jim had said he loved her.
The dreadful part about It was
that you couldn't stop caring for
some one just because they had
hurt you. Jim himself had told
her that love was more than just
moonlight and roses.
II was almost dawn before she
slept and when she Weakened she
was no nearer a conclusion than
she had been the night before.
She could not decide whether to
admit defeat and go home or
marry Raoul with the hope that
marriage would iron out their diff
ficulties. But she knew she could
not see Raoul again while she was
so emotionally upset.
Neither did she wish to see Jim.
For the first time in weeks she
felt the need of feminine COM
partnership.
Why not call Olive and. If pos
sible. spend the day with her?
Sheila would not have blamed
the other girl If she had been re-
sentful at her neglect but Olive
was as cordial as ever.
Jim told me you were living
at a pension" she said. I'm dy-
ing TO see you and hear all about
it. Let's meet at Harrod's for
lunch and may bring Mildred :?
She's crazy about you. Sheila."
The American expressions fell
strangely on Sheila's ears which
for weeks had been accustomed to
more elegant phrases. She was de-
lighted to see Olive but she was
beginning to see what Raoul
meant when he commended that
the women from her country were
too aggressive.
Mildred Burton who had made
no definite impression on Sheila
the first time they met seemed
now to be bursting with vitality
and force. She spoke of her
husband with affection but in
such a way that there could be
no doubt as to which of them
was boss.
