Christie shoo,- her head. Just
one more lesson. / want to take
my solo cross-country flight"
m afraid you can't do that,
Christie. This is serious business
with us. We don't go in for dra-
matics."
Russ, honestly, this isn't be-
ing dramatic. Its just that
must see Bart in the next few
minutes. This flight is the most
important thing in my life.

I've got to-"
"All right. You can have your

haven't forgotten that promise

mo, but he won't mind, this
time"
She watched the plane being
warmed up: climbed in and took
the controls with sure, firm
grasp.
This was different from that
first solo. How frightened she
had felt when she found herself
up in the air alone. And differ
ent too, from that trip to Lake
Vile with Stephen, ra e
against time. Not sure of the
outcome.
But today she felt secure and
confident. The world which had
crashed around her a few days
before so absolutely right
again that nothing could &c
wrong. The plane had cleared
the field, was putting the bound
airy lights behind it, and now
was soaring upward, outward.
Fifteen minutes later, Chris
tie was circling over the airport
All at once, c h risti e was
frightened. The thing to do was
to get right down out of here
and find Bart.
She spoke into the micro
phone: Christie S a n d ers n
speaking wife of Lieut.
Sanderson.' Give me landing di-
rections."
In a moment, stern and curt,
came the reply You're not to
!. lands Mrs. Sanderson.
Christie's excited voice again:
give got to land. It's something
of utmost importance to Lieu
tenant Sanderson. I've got to
come in"
These are orders. You're to
60 back where you came FROM"
Christie wheeled her plane,
fighting back the tears. Now that
she thought about it, it seemed
there was a rule about civil
planes landing at army fields -
something about shooting first
and asking questions afterward
Heavens, of course you must
have special permission. Just
because Bart was assistant to the
commandant of cadets, she hao
acted exactly like she owned
the place. All she could do now
was to get back to town, cal
Bart on the telephone, and try
to make him understand how
sorry she was about that awful
letter.
Back at the airport, she
brought the plane down, taxing
across the field.
Sober eyed, she stepped ou

on the ground, only TO be lifted
up again-higher than any ship
could carry her. Straight into
heaven.
THE first thing you must
learn, young woman, is dlsci-
pline," came Bart's voice. No
army mans wife runs after him.
He runs after her"
yes, Lieutenant" Christie
Whispered her arms tight
around Bart. her sunny head
pressed close to him.
Russ phoned the field to
have me meet you. They told
him | had left for town, and so
they staged that little reception
an extra rough one - to get
you back here quick. Lucky l
was at our apartment when
Russ called and l broke all speed
limits to beat your plane"
Bart kissed her long and hard.
II had come home TO wiring the
truth out of you" he said after
a moment, Ito find out why l
had seen you in another man S
arms"
Christie laughed softly. "We
were racing, and there was a
little ditch. When / stumbled,
Stephen caught me. / suppose
you would have preferred hav-
ing me pitch straight down on
my nose"
Much PREFER d." Bart's
voice was grim. That little
ditch was big enough to plunge
me straight into hell. Darling,
all | had to do to put myself
back on the torture wrack was
to think of it again. Then, today,
something snapped. Somehow, l
knew you weren't to blame, and
that -your letter didn't make
sense. So l came home
When | found out you d
come to town with Sandra and
didn't come near me-"
so that was why you wrote
that letter"
1T made sense to me, them"
Christie said.
"Sandra was coming back for
good" Bart explained. Seems
she got fed up entertaining the
boys and gave up her job. She
asked if she could drive back
with me-"
Bart, we we're pair of
idiots"
They stood, arms close about
each other. Nearby was the
plane. To Christie it seemed
symbolic of m h n G; it's
strong silver wings outspread.
Wings like these, and the men
who flew them, would keep her
country free.
Bart's thoughts must have
been travelling along with hers,
for he said, slowly: This war
isn't a private affair for men.
There's probably going to be a
real place for women flyers be-
fore it's over. Civil air patrol,
transporting planes. Just mo-
ment ago, / watched you come
down from the sky, Christie. l
could feel how sure and calm
you we're. l was proud of you.
That's my wife, and she's a
born flyer l said. Darling, I'm
going to release you from that
promise. It wasn't fair of me.
It's up to you
Christie's arms frightened
around him. Il guess you're 60
ing to do all the flying for our
family, Bart" She was smiling.
After moment, she said: I'm
very we'll satisfied with ground
work. Besides, there's lot Of
knitting I'm going to have to do.

CHRISTIE'S LAST FLIGHT

BY MARY RAYMOND

SI1hI XIV al
ut was in our World War
that got that letter from a
French girl-one of those Mad
emoiselles from Armentieres
that the song is written about,
I guess" Bart's mother was say
ing. Anyway, Christie, she
wrote that she was in love with
my husband; and what, in so
many words, was ! going to do
about it,"
What did you do?", Christie
asked. She had come to Barts
mother after a visit TO the doc
tor. And, somehow, she felt
strangely comforted.
why, / wrote back that
could understand how she felt
because l was in love with him,
too. But l didn't tell her she
could have him, as she prob
ably wanted me to do.
lone day, a long time after
the war, my husband said he
wanted to get something off his
chest. There had been a ro-
nance - very mild romance
it was. He hat danced with this
French girl, taken her out to
dinner a few times, kissed her
under a moon - which is just
as romantic in France as it is
anywhere else in the world.
There might have been diff
ferent ending If had been
hot-headed and suspicious, my
dear"
But you don't understand,
Mother Sanderson. Bart is in
love with Sandra."
"Then why was he so miser-
able and upset about you last
Friday night? Walking up and
down his room like a Gagged ami
NAL; not eating his dinner, star
ing into space. Why, he acted
like crazy man, Christie"
Last Friday" Chri"tie cried.
"Was Bart here last friday"
Mrs. Sanderson nodded. HE
came to see you; that girl came
along for the ride into town.
Then, he went by the apartment
and you were out. Somebody
told him you were in a little
park nearby. When he came
back here, he was in an awful
state. He said he would spend
the night here. asked him if
he didn't find you in the park,
and he said, Yes, l found her.
The way he looked - wild. You
al had quarreled, hadn't you,
Christie?"
ooh, Mother S a n d e-r S n,
you're an angel Christie
breathed. IF / had only come
before!"
Christie grabbed Bart's dipin-
utive mother, spun her around
dizzily. and then put her down
in a big, cushioned chair. "Tve
got to rush off to undo lot of
damage I've DONE" she said
"You can count on it - I'm not
going to hand Bart over to some
Mademoiselle from Armen-
there's"

called on Ben Garrett, now one Of
the Streets top managers. He
was juvenile of the show she had

their stage love scenes so seriously
he asked her to marry him. But
she was already in love with the
dashing Tony.
A few years later Ben married
another girl; he was now a
widower and his name was coupled
by columnists with nearly every
leading actress in town.
NEVER FORGOT FRIENDS
Ben was a success-but like a
real trouper he never forgot old
friends. He'd proved that, Peggy
thought fondly, by giving jobs to
the kids whenever he could.

into his office.

predicted that production would

The vast production program

he said, because orders were too
great for the amount Of available

production had stepped up by
stating that while General Motors
