with the controls. The plane kept

Paul looked down. He could see
the faces of hundreds Of people
staring up - wondering - fright

and then, just when the plane was
so low that Helen could see Philips
face as he stood upon the platform,
a face white and drawn, something
happened. There was an upward
swing, and the plane roared over
the plant and away.

his mouth close to her ear. "She's
missing"
"Shall I head for the runway?"
Helen called back
yes" said Paul Maybe we can
make it."
But they didn't. The plane went
dead-it seemed to be suspended
for one horrible moment in mid-air,
and then plummeted earthward.
Bail OUT" Paul cried. Helen

Helen paid no attention. She
worked with the controls, she put
into use all the knowledge she had
of flying. The plane leveled QUIT

Don't do it. Bail out"
Bail out yourself!" Helen yelled

The plane SKINNED over a rail

hit the soft earth of the field, dug
its nose into the ground, and stood
upon its head. Helen tumbled out.
She was stunned She picked her
self up, felt herself, and then she
saw the flames.

Helen caught his out-held hand
and pulled. The flames were crack

Neither was Paul. But out on the
runway she found him. He was
tinkering with the plane and whis-

demanded.
Paul looked up. "Oh, hello, hon
ey!' he greeted.
Didn't you get my letter saying
I'd be home today?" Zoe asked.
Sure I did" Paul said. But
couldn't get in. Had to do some
laSt-minute work on the plane.
She's got important work to do a

"You do?" said Paul.
Il do"
"Okay" Paul said. "See YOU

The engine roared, the propellers
whirred. And he was off up into
the skies.
His heart was singing. Zoe
wanted a divorce. Zoe wanted a
divorce! Now he could really ask
Helen to marry him.
Noon time, and the big event
The colonel, impressive, and yet
kindly, made a presentation speech
that sounded straight from the

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE


A LITTLE while later Helen was
standing on the platform of the
Lakcvillc railroad station, waiting
for the train from Washington.
There was a big crowd around, and
the town band - six members
strong, where as in the old days
there lad been 12-was all set to
start a martial tune. There were
flags on the station, too, hiding
some of the gingerbread work of
the period when it had been built.
Men and women and children
bright-eyc!, eager milled about
1t. 1t had been a long while since
there had been any sort of cele-
bratiOn in the town, and it was fun
to be doing something besides fig
nring ration points, planning meals
and trying to keep chin up and
heart gay.
There she comesr someone
cried.
yep" said someone else. "Ah
kin see her smoke er bllin' over the
hills"
The crowd edged nearer the
tracks. The band got ready to play.
Miss Minerva adjusted the skirt of
her brand new frock.
"Wish could have worn my dun
garees," she said to Helen.
why didn't you?" Helen re-
torted. "Since you're bound, bent
and determined to show your seri-
BUSINESS about the war" She
nudged her aunt and said: II know
you didn't want the senator to
see you in pants"
Mind your manners, young
woman" said Miss Minerva.
There wasn't time for anything
else. The train pulled in. Senator
Simpson got off, and so did a very
impressive man in uniform and
medals. Miss Minerva hurried for
ward, followed by Helen and
Philip. They shook hands. The band
played. People cheered. Cars and
carriages began to form a parade
up Main Street. Miss Minerva and
Senator Simpson sat in the front
seat Of the Miller carriage. Colonel
Smathers and his aide sat in the
rear. Flags fluttered in the breeze
Bunting whipped loose and swung
out in wild abandon. Philip and
the factory workers.
And no one saw Zoe Wentworth
who had alighted from Pullman
near the rear Of the train. No one
saw her stand and stare, wonder
ing. She was completely lost in the
croWd-and when the crowd haG
moved away she was left standing
upon the platform looking a little
forlorn. Presently she marched into
the station
"What in the world is all the fuss
about?" she demanded.
The ticket agent, to whom she
was speaking, looked up. 'LaWdy
Miz Wentworth, didn't you know p
Il did not" said Zoe. I've beer

The ticket agent explained, his
eyes shining a man who loved {
parade and flags flying. ''And so,

HAYES NAMED JUNEAU ALASKA AIRLINES STATION MANAGER

A. B. Got" Hayes, former Mayor of Juneau, has been named representative for Alaska Airlines at Juneau, Don H. Goodman, Alaska Airlines Vice President an- nounced today.
 Hayes, who is also in the dock business in Juneau, replaces Art Oszman who has moved to Ko- diak.
 Aviation is not new to Hayes, nor is Alaska, for he came to Alaska in 1880 with a group of Seattle business men who formed the Alaska Washington Airways, serving southeastern Alaska. A year later the firm was consoli- dated with Alaska Southern Air ways, and Hayes became general manager. From 1884 to 1888 he was with Pan American Airways in Alaska, New York and Seattle.
 The new station manager for Alaska Airlines served a term as mayor of Juneau in 1914.
 Hayes has been in Anchorage the past few days consulting with Theodore N. Law, President of Alaska Airlines.
 In Anchorage, Hayes said he fully expected air traffic to show a large increase in the future, now that more persons were con- ing to Alaska. He said aviation has come a long ways since those days in 1880 when he first came to the Territory, but he expects a greater growth for the future.
 By flying from Juneau to An chorage, and all interior points, people will not only get there faster, but will now have the con- venience of DC-3 quipment with stewardess service" Hayes said. People aren't like they used to be in 1880. We used to have to sell aviation pretty hard, but now they recognize how safe and con- venient it is."
 Hayes appointment to the new job came at the same time Alaska Airlines announced that their sec ond DC-3 plane was expected in Anchorage within a few days.
