over to Jim Mason, then got in
behind the wheel again.
Helen Brennan said, Come back,
Phil. You too, Joan, after you've
seen your father. Well have little
party"
Thank you," said Joan, promis-
ing nothing.
Phil drove on to G. H. O., the ad-
ministration building, and parked.
He got Joan's bag, then took her
inside. Maj. Hammond's Office was
the first to the right: two rooms
connected by wide-open doorway.
In the outer room Corpl. O'Hara sat,
busily tipping. Phil put the bag
down, pulled up a chair for Joan,
then walked to the inner room. The
c. o. was at his desk.
Maj. Hammond was a thick, red
faced man. He was a man of quick,
violent tempers and of strange, dark
moods. A capable. officer, he had
won his commission in World War I.
He was "the Old Man" to his officers
and Mustang" to his men. He
made Phil Howard stand and wait
while he scowled over some report,
and when he finally looked up the
scowl remained.
We'll, captan?" he demanded.
Il brought your daughter from the
station, sir. She's outside waiting
to see you"
You brought her, captain? You
take a lot on yourself"
There was no one else" said Phil
Howard. mo one to meet her"
A Rude Reception.
Maj. Hammond leaned back his
chair and studied him with small,
metallic blue eyes. Phil could see
that the eyes hated him.
Howard" said Hammond, you're
quite a hand with the ladies. You
troubled yourself with my daugh-
ter. This morning you had break
fast with Helen Brennan. From
now on you let Maj. Brennan enter
tain his own wife. I won't stand
for any trouble between my
officers"
Phil checked rising temper. And
said, Eyes, sir" in a hard fiat voice.
And another thing, captain.
When my daughter requires an
escort, it's not to be you. Do you
understand that?"
Phil had no opportunity to reply
to that. Joan's heels struck sharp
sound from the bare floor. She
came between them, stopping before
the desk, and Phil had a glimpse
of her face. 1t was very pale.
Father" Joan spoke the word
clumsily, as if it were unfamiliar.
Father, I asked Capt Howard to
bring me here. There is no reason
for you to shout at him like that"
Hammond's neck and face turned
a darker red. His eyes left her.
You have permission to leave,
Capt. Howard" he said
Joan Thanks Phil.
Phil swung about and walked
across the hall and went into his
own office. He started work on some
gunnery reports.
Shortly, he heard Hammond's
boisterous voice haranguing Corp.
O'Hara. O'Hara was to get woman
houSekeeper from the village. He
was to see that one of the bunga-
lows was opened. He was to send
a truck to fetch Miss Hammond's
trunk from the station and have 1t
taken to the house. AS Maj. Ham
mond talked, his daughter came out
into the hall. She looked into Phil's
room, then slowly entered. She was
still pale, still unsmiling. Phil
pushed back his chair and got to
his feet.
Joan said, "I wanted to thank
