Bruce burned. Was he being
trailed now? He went back to the
living room after the man moved
on. He lit a cigaret and dropped
into a deep leather chair. He had
never been so low in his life. He
sat smoking as dusk deepened into
darkness, trying to wear out the
mood of bitter desolaton that had
settled over him.
The small clock on the mantel
chimed. He knew it was time to
call Toinette. But he didn't move.
Around the mannish room, her pic
lures smiled at him from table,
radio and mantel. He viewed them
with blank hostility. She. like
every other thing in bis life at the
moment, was a nuisance.
II he could have gone up tonight

him his main trouble was that he
was grounded too much. When he
had his own plane-his own time,

like a clod and wait for permission

on his part had cheated him Of this
escape. One of the finest test pi-
lots in the country, they called him.
He knew he was. But it gave him
no pleasure. Flying was a mania
with him, an antidote for a disease
Of bitterness that was destroying
him. That he did it better than
most men was incidental. That he
was an important cog in the ma
chinery Of war production meant
little TO him. Only one thing was
important to him. And he despised
himself for that.
The phone rang. He sat still,
listening to it. 1t would be Toinette,

over the wire. "Darleeng, Is that

should he talk to her? Why should
