the soft look in her eyes stopped
them, made them back to the door.
Out of the corner of his eye Walter
Harmon saw them and asked the
question whose answer he dreaded.
The passengers. Jack. Are they
all right?"
Jack Parker grinned.
"All right! l should hope to tell
you'll" he laughed. Funny what
altitude and oxygen can do - all
of 'em have forgotten the panic
when the motors quit. Some of 'em
have the illusion this was a nice
normal fight. Some of them ="
he chuckled now, "the ones who
peeked out the windows, l guess,
like me - said they'd had a dream
that they were flying around and
around the moon. None of them
are sure if anything unusual really
happened or if they just imagined
it. Why, l feel almost like that my
self, l."
"Why don't you 60 back to the
galley and get yourself some coffee,
Jack?"
1t sounded like an order.

HE co-pilot backed out of the
door. closed it behind him. Walter
Harmon turned to Mimi Lee.
"Just before Jack came in you
were saying something about me
being wonderful. Very nice of you,
but -" He paused, stared at her
coldly. "Since when do chief stew
ardesses call their captains 'dar-
ling? Even if they happen to be
old friends?"
He saw the sudden astonishment
and hurt come into her eyes.
But Wally" Her face was fall
ing apart now. Have you forgot
ten what happened to us-up
there? You said y you said you
loved me and wanted to marry me
and we ;"
He interrupted. Mimi, l hate
to say this, but you heard what
Jack said about too much oxygen
and altitude giving people illu-
sions. You've just had one of the
better illusions, that's ALL"
Have really?"
He nodded, the tears in her eyes
overflowed, coursed down her
cheeks, then abruptly stopped and
her eyes came into focus. Suddenly
she began to laugh. Walter stared
at her in amazement.
Mimi Lee got out her makeup
kit and held the mirror in front of
his face 50 he could see the bright
red, utterly convincing lipstick

THEY RODE A GHOST PLANE

other she wrapped around herself.
Minutes later when the air had
grown much rougher and the cold
was frosting the windows and
clutching at skin and bone like
icy fingers, and she was shaking
with it, she said. rs this the end,
Wally?"
When Wally didn't answer. she
went on.
"If it is the end, please take me
in your arms again and hold me
close"
She moved toward him. Her
body joggled his arm as it clasped
the wheel, the ship tilted so steeply
to the right she staggered, fell into
the co-pilot's chair. He leveled the
plane. She started to get to her
feet. His voice stopped her.
Strap yourself in there! When
you joggled the wheel ! remem-
bered something / did with that
glider once when / got caught in
the updraft of a thunder head. /

citement now -"I think / can
save this ship!"
"How?"
"By -" the whirling up-eddy
of air he was waiting for, struck.
He said, ''Pray!"
The ship tilted left and this time
instead of righting it he kicked full
right rudder and pulled the wheel
left with a sudden jerk that threw
the ship clear on its side. For the
fraction of a second it hung there
motionless. Its wings pointed
straight up and down, with no
more lift than the blade of knife.
Then the silence - the CHASTITY un-
real silence of space - was tornby
a high keening wall as the trement
dous weight of metal in the fuse
lage and engines drove the up
ended knife-like wing down and
forward in a screaming dive.
Walter Harmon's laugh of elation
ratified over the communication.
''Mimi?"
"Yes?"
"Just wanted to say -" he
broke off, needing all his strength
to haul back on the wheel and
check a little the headlong earth
ward rush. Il just wanted to say
that for a decrepit old man who's
about to be judged incompetent, !
think still fly pretty good - once
in a while, that is."
AT FIFTEEN thousand feet Walter
Harmon leveled off, pressed the
starter, the motors throbbed and
the ship lived and breathed again.
He snapped on the lights, took off
his oxygen mask, spoke for a few
minutes over the radio, turned to
Mimi Lee, smiled.

ones life. Let the yesterdays pre-
pare them for each day to be lived.
He reminded the students that they
are on q quest and that they should
seek well before giving up the fight.
In his closing remarks, he stress
edthe following points:
l. Head Use it to think Of good.
Consider the rights Of others espe-
cially those with whom you must
live. Don't think Of yourself more
highly than others. Strive to make
worthwhile contributions.
2. Hands Train them to do that
which can be appreciated.
3. Heart It is the organ that
controls both the head and the
hands. Fill it with love for your
fellowmen and your God"
In conclusion, his strongest
words were to the girls. In these
times when advice is most nee
essary, the faculty really appre.
ciated the Bishops stand on the
necessity Of q girls striving to be
a lady.
The Bishop told the girls that it
is necessary for them to develop
good breaks and put them in their
lives as they are as necessary in
their lives as they are in the mech.
anism of an automobile. He added
that every girl should strive TO de-
velop social finesse and to be able
to say mo" when temptations
arise.
The Bishop was well received BY
the entire community and was
royalty entertained. He left Key
West on Wednesday, April u, for
North Carolina.

bers by the "Dungaree Trio" (Ken-

ton Of the play and the vast audi
ence in attendance. He gave en-
enlargement by saying that one
Of these days not in the far. dis
lance, there viii be an auditorium
in which al can be comfortably
