CHAPTER THIRTY-FoUR

so SHE was engaged to Wayne
COPYRIGHT! Even though she kept
reminding herself Of this astonish-
ing fact, libby could hardly accept
II herself. She had told him that
she would marry him. He had said
ne was going to get her a ring. It
was all as definite as that. Maybe
it was in order to try, to make her
self believe it-much as a person
will pinch himself to see If he is
awake-that libby told Marg. Nat
urally she would want Marg to be
the first to know, anyway. Every
one else would know soon enough,
too soon if Wayne got the ring for
her as he had said he would hast
night.
I'm going to marry Wayne
COPYRIGHT" libby said to Marg, a
simple statement of fact, much as
she had made when she had said to
Wayne. yes. will marry you"
But now she added. Il am very
happy"
/ Was this last a challenge to
whatever response her friend might
make or to all that Marg might
think and not say? Or was 1t an
other statement to try to convince
herself that that was so?
Marg did not seem as surprised
as libby had expected her to be.
She did not say the things libby
had expected her to say, whatever
she might be thinking. All she said
was, IF you're happy, I'm glad for
you-only hold on to it. darling.
The world is going so mad that
doubt If any of us dare count on
any happiness that will be lasting.
have some news for you, too"
She threw back her head with a
proud little gesture, almost a ges-
ture Of release. In a way, it was
that for her, after all these months
of turmoil and indecision, for, as
libby had discovered, in telling
Wayne that she would marry him,
nearly any decision is better than
doubt. Indecision and doubts tear
one apart. John has resigned"
Marg said. He has enlisted"
libby forgot to be surprised that
Marg had had such brief comment
to make in regard to her own news
no wisecracks, no reproaches-
in her own surprise at her friends
news. Surprise that came as much
from Marg's evident acceptance of
her captains action, as from the
action itself. Are you glad ?" she
asked. rs that what you want him
to do?"
"One OF us had to do some
thing" Marg returned grimly. I'VE
couldn't go on as we were. I told
you 1t was a sort Of living death.
Yes, I'm glad. It's what he wants
to do, for John says that our coun-
try cannot keep out of this bloody
war much longer. He says we
cannot isolate ourselves while such
wrongs are being committed all
around us, such FLOODED atroc-
tiles He's going to be sent to Ha-
wall" she added. He goes the first

Maybe he, too, would want 10 serve
his country. since he was such an
authority on aviation. Maybe, as
Marg had predicted, all happiness
would be fleeing that none could
be long retained.
YOU'D find some use for IT,"
Marg said. There will be civil
aeronautic units for home defense
all that sort Of organization.
Think what you could do for your
country with a ship all your ownl
You draw the lucky numbers all
right, my pet" She purposely
spoke on a lighter tone 10 end the
seriousness Of all that had gone be-
fore.
II can't believe IT," libby said,
that she owned a plane, that 1t
really was hers. OF course II
wouldn't be, If she did not marry
Wayne, If their marriage was post
poned. for instance, in the event
Of war. She did not know why she
should think that; she had told
Wayne she would marry him. He
had not allowed her much time for
her answer. She did not imagine he
would allow her much time, either,
for her marriage.
She did not know why this
thought should prove somewhat
disturbing, so disturbing that she
almost might wish for a war, or
some lesser catastrophy, to cause
postponement.
There was no use In that. She
supposed she would marry Wayne
when he wanted her to, but she
hoped that would not be too soon.
Was every girl reluctant, wheth-
er sure Of her love or not, to take
that final, fateful step? Or should
she, If her heart had spoken, be as
eager as she would then be conf
dent?
libby, in giving Wayne his an
swer, had resolved to put all such
doubts and questions aside. II she
had not, they were to be put aside
for her in the symbol Wayne had
chosen, as he had decided to do
without delay, to announce and
bind that betrothal and pledge.
1t was, Of course, coincident
that again there should be two
boxes delivered, one addressed to
Miss Elizabeth Lane, the other to
Miss Steena Winters, as there had
been two previously delivered by
the florists boy. These boxes, how
ever, almost identical in size, were
from a prominent jewelers..
libby was thankful that Steena's
could be left unopened until she
came in from her fight, grateful
she could open hers in privacy. She
knew, before either was opened,
what each would contain. Steena's
was Wayne's farewell gift. Hers
was an engagement ring. She even
thought, foolishly, that it would
have been more according to plan
could she have exchanged those
two small boxes. giving Steena the
ring, herself the other.
That was the way it might have
been, but it was too late for any
exchange now.

OF next month" Only on this last
statement did her eyes sadden. her
tone hold regret.
Its very fine OF him." libby
said. Marg's captain had not let
her down, destroyed her faith. No
matter what happened, she would
always have that. There would be
no establishment in her love.

did my darnest to make him take
me. l don't believe, loving him as l
do, I'd have regrets, but he was so
sure I would, so determined not to
let me make that sort of sacrifice,
that this is his answer-to go
where I cannot even follow him."
libby said, I'm not shocked,
dear" She knew that Marg felt her
love much stronger than the ties
Of a marriage that did not mean
anything, much bigger than any
man-made laws. She knew, too,
that her captain was right. No
matter how great her love, such
sacrifice for any woman was too
much. More than before, libby ad-
mired and was grateful to Marg's
captain.
Marg would not have to resign;
libby was glad Of that, not only
for the selfish reason that she
would hate to lose her friend, but
because she knew that Marg loved
her work as air hostess and was
considered one of the most compe-
tent the company ever had en-
ployed.
However. Marg soon dispelled
these ideas Of Tibby's. She said
now, "Of course if America is
drawn into this war, which, in
spite Of Johns predictions and the
rumors that the Japs may act up.
I can hardly credit, then 1 will en-
list, too, as a nurse. But I don't
suppose, she gave a wry little
smile, that I would be sent to any
such glamorous place as Hawaii.
My luck never runs that way. But
I'm glad. since John has to go, that
his has,"
libby was to remember that re-
mark later. And to wonder il Marg
had. 1t was not to prove lucky,
after all, for her captain to be sent
to such a "glamorous" place, al
though maybe, had her captain had
his choice, he still would have been
glad that Hawaii was where he was
to be sent within such a short time
that another month would find him
there on that first field of action,
when the war he had forseen did
strike his own beloved country.
libby told Marg, too, about the
beautiful silver ship. Though may
be shan't be allowed to fly it," she
added. thinking Of the trip home
she hoped to take in the spring,
IF war comes" Maybe, too, Wayne
would find a world that was so up
rooted he would not want to give"
it to her, as he had teasingly said.
