CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT

I'm FIVE minutes Wen start

going to call on one Of our be-
loved savants, DR.. Hartpence, a
noted authority on international
politics. On Ken Speed to do his
radio routine for us. On Miss Clio

OF our greatest screen tragedi-
ennes. I'm going to give away a
secret. Miss lie Brun is a mimic

lery. viii you do it, Gloria. .. 4.
Thanks. . . And now, DIR. Hart
pence, we'd like to hear your views
on the European situation today.
The professor stepped to the
platform.
The hands Of the clock pointed
to twenty minutes of eleven.
Gloria lie Brun, the English wit,
the radio comedian, all had done
their turns. Vance was beginning
to feel anxiety. He thought he had
caught the acrd odor of smoke

He said, Folks, I think I ought

still. One of our engines broke
down. The repair work is being
speeded up and we should be I'M

forbidden him to tell them that the
Georgian was coming to them. ("If
they know we've radioed for her to
intercept us, they'll not believe
anything you'd say. Better wait
until they can SEQ for them
~selves.") Meanwhile our show
will go on"
There wasn't much to 90 on
with. There was a rising newspa-
per columnist, named Jonas, in the
crowd. His stuff, which was pretty
funny, was known to Vance. He
called on him.
AS he had hoped, Jonas was
amusing, but Vance knew that the
dreaded moment a getting close
there was an ominous movement
in the crowd, a twisting Of necks,
a shufling of feet, an ~hysterical
note in the laughter.
Jonas was running down. Vance
thanked him with a bright speech,
his voice steeled against anxiety,
his eyes seeking Wyncoop in the
companionway.
Suddenly his false smile sick
lened.
Kit, her head lifted, was coming
through that door. Coming directly
to the stage.
To Jonas he pleaded in a whis-
per, "One more yarn-quick!"
He lowered himself from the
platform.
Introduce me. I can hold them"
Kit whispered.

face from the crowd with his
shoulders.

lips.
He leaped to the platform and
gave Kit his hand, pulling her up.
He said simply, This star needs
no introduction"
A voice from the crowd said
"It's Kitty O'Reilly!"
Good evening, everybody" she
said with her sweet, shy smile. 1T

Kit was saying that she did
when there was a sharp knock at
the door.
Vance opened 1t.
THE captains compliments, sir"
the third officer said. "And will
you please go to his cabin at once.
He would like to see both you and
Mrs. Healey."
Kit and Vance exchanged short,
worried glances.
The captain said, II have asked
you to come here so that 1 might
thank you for what you have done.
1 can't tell you what it would have
meant to the line, and to me per-
sonally, had you not directed

He took a black book from his

Vance slipped a ring off his fin
ger.
1t was on Kits hand in an in
credibly short time and the captain
was shaking Vance's hand and
calling her Mrs. Healey. Then he
picked up his hat and went to the
door.
Stay here Is long as you like"
his great voice doomed at them.
But I'm hoping you'll joir us be-
low. The occasion calls for a bit
Of celebration. I shall ask the en-
tire ships company to Join me in

He opened the door then and,
standing on the threshold, he add

about the man who said he couldn't

"Just a song at twilight
When the lights r low :"
Vance slipped through the COM
panionway and walked across the
deck to the rail. Back Of him he
heard voices lifted in Kits song.
He felt sick,
Dimly he vas conscious Of foot
steps hurrying on the deck above
him.
Then he saw it. A great, white
ship steaming toward them.
"Shine on shine on har-
vest moon for me
and my gal"
They were still singing Justify
back in the salon.
Kit had done it.
The music was muted. There
were a few minutes Of silence.
Then cheers and applause rent the
air. Men and women were pouring
out Of the doors to the deck,
sweeping him along with them in
their excitement to see the Geor-
gian. The excitement, he realized
with that part Of him that was not
numb, was the excitement of curl
osity, not the excitement of fear.
He looked for Kit in the desert
ed salon. She was not there.
He found her in his sitting room,
seated on the lounge where he had
found her four nights before.
II had to do it, Vance," she said
simply.
He nodded dumbly.
Poor kid" he said. at was a
sad day when you met up with the

fixed for you now"
II guess they are" she said
cheerfully. She was a funny girl.
Any other girl, knowing she'd
thrown away a career, would look
mighty unhappy. She said, what
were you going to say to me up on
deck ?"
"You ought to know now, Kit.
You don't think L give a darn
about myself, do you? Why do you

heart to know what those people
are going to think Gbout your"
They'll forget it when we're

Vance said, "Come here!"
A few minutes later she said,

Peter, his eyes shining at the men,

I noticed that that long tail of his

'Of course it did" retorted Jenny
promptly. That's a family trait.
The tails of both my other big
cousins do the same thing"
'Wha-wha-what that? Have
you got more big cousins?" cried
Peter. staring up at Jenny Wren as
If she were some strange person he

"Mocker, the Mock:ngbird and Kitty
the Catbird belong to Thrasher's

Such a funny expression as there
was on Peters face. He felt that
Jenny Wren was telling the truth,
but it was surprising news to him,
and so hard to believe that for a
few minutes he couldn't find his
tongue to ask another question.
Finally he ventured to ask very
timidly, Does Brownie initiate the
songs of other birds the way Mocker
and Kitty do?"
Jenny Wren shook her head very

You see, Glory is so beautiful that
Peter never loses a chance to see

AS Peter sat staring up into the
tree, trying to get glimpse of

whistle sounded once more. 1t drew
Peters eyes to one of the upper
branches. but instead of the beau
tiful, brilliant coat of Glory the
Cardinal, he saw bird about the
size of Welcome Robin dressed in
ashy gray with two white bars on
his wings and white feathers on the
outer edges of his tail. He was very
trim and neat, and his tail hung
straight down after the manner of
