ED Bryan put me here! He
stuck me in, just as you land

Where's Lorraine"
II don't know"
Jimmy was talking out of the
side of his mouth and so was
she, as both of them shook hands
with the multitude.
But Pat-my lord.'
ED took her away"
Stick with me, Pat -.
Stand by!"
They were being separated
now, out of the plane.
"Of course, Jimmy" she yell
ed at him. "Of course!"
The substitution of Pat Fri

quite naturally by the public be-
cause there was the same pretty
girl whose photographs had
been in the local papers today.

who was with Captain Carr in
Cleveland and Chicago. The
public had no cause for suspic-
ion!
Pat suddenly found herself in
saddle, high on white horse
hand-tooled, silver studded
between the sheriff and the ma

side.

tain going to be married, Miss
Stuart?" he shouted at Pat.

Jimmy edged his horse over
next to Pats, so he could lean
close to her ear.
You're brick, Patsy, honest
you are. Well talk this other
thing out later, but keep up the
front now!"
Eyes, Jimmy" she whispered
back.

mixup, might wreck the whole
soaring flight. Do a great deal OF
harm. That's why l phoned Ed

we can talk and"
She nodded. A band was play
ing, and team of Hopi Indians
in native costume was coming
up to dance. The Arizona sun
was about to drop behind the
distant mountains, but right
now it made theatrical lighting
for the grand show here on Sky
