CHAPTER XIII
He looked surprised as she very
carefully removed his arm from
about her shoulders.
“Don’t be silly, Jimmy. I’m not
in love with you.”
“Sally!”
“Don’t sound so surprised. You
swept me off my feet, I admit
that. We had a tiny part of an
evening together and it was won
derful. But you left before you
made sure of your success. Left
in time for me, Jimmy. I’m very
grateful.”
“You, too?” he said bitterly.
“You, too.”
“Funny, I was going to do-this
differently. I was going to hook
you and jilt you at the altar. I
was going to do the same thing
that Dronda did to you. But sud
denly I couldn’t do it. Suddenly
I thought of what Mike would
think.”
“Mike?” He caught at the name
and laughed. "You mean you’re
in love with Mike? That’s a hot I
one.”
“Is it. Jimmy?” She seemed
to consider, cocking her head and I
peeking at him from the corners j
of her eyes. “Yes, I suppose it is. ■
But there you have it.”
“But—but you wouldn’t give.i
him a chance!”
“I was a raid to, Jimmy. You i
see, men like you leave scars, I
And I was still under the spell.
That’s why I quit when I caught
you kissing Helen. I wanted to
get away from you, I wanted to
get as far away from you as I
could.”
“Yet you tried to save me when
you thought Perkin was going to
give me the sack.
“Sally, don’t you see it? All
these things you’ve said are an
admission that you still love me. |
You wouldn’t be giving yourself
away if you didn’t.”
“That’s the only time a wom

away, Jimmy, my pet. When she

very frank.”
Back at the hotel, she found
the room in utyer darkness and
was just a bit surprised. She
had expected Helen and Mike to
come there to talk things over,
had expected to be able to get
Mike oif to a place where they
could talk and take up where
they’d left off in the park. She
was half undressed when the
door of the suite swung open and
Helen, weaving slightly, came
gaily in.
“Hi, Sal’y, old gal. What an
evening! How’s Jimmy, good Old
Jimmy?”
Sally struggled back into her
dress, eyes popping. "Helen Staf -
ford. you’re drunk!”
“Two beers, so help me. May
be I should have eaten some
thing, huh?”
“You certainly should have!”
Sally finished snapping the fas
tenings of her dress and caught
her just as Helen was on the
i verge of missing the bed. “Here,
take it easy, darling. Good grief,
I hope Mike had more sense
j than you. We have to fly back.
; you know.”
“Didn’t touch a drop,” Helen
said with a sniff. “A child. Afraid
of mere beer. Hey, isn’t that
| poetry?”
“It is childish. Mike isn’t afraid
| of anything.”
“Afraid of you.”
“I said that Mike isn’t afraid
of anything.”
“But he won’t be afraid of you
any more. We fixed that. We fix
ed it good. You may be the first
to congratulate us. We, Miss Al
- are going to be married.”
If she had fallen into a swoon
she wouldn’t have been in the
least surprised!
Dronda laughed from the door.
I Still in tlfe flattering evening
gown, she came tripping in, look
ing ever so gay, ever so beautiful,
ever so dashing.
“How cute,” she bubbled. “H.el
j en, you and Mike can get married

Sweet, don’t you think?”
“I do not,” Sally said frostily.
I “And would you mind leaving us
alone, Miss Moore? Haven’t you
done enough damage for one
evening?”
“Jimmy?” Dronda chuckled.
“Think nothing of it. He asked
for it, he got it.”

your face,” announced Helen dis

“But divorced, my pet. The de
j cree became final yesterday.
“Mike and I will never be di
vorced.”
“Helen, listen to me.”
“Oh, no. Mike told me not to
listen to you. And Mike is now
my lord and master. We shall be
happy, Mike and I. We under
stand what hurt is, and disap
nointment. How did you make
out with darling Jimmy?”
“But you must be joking. Mike
doesn’t love you.”
The redhead sniffed. “I am
not joking!”
Nor was she.

Mr. Perkin was at the airport
when the plane piloted by Cap
tain Mike White arrived from
Buffalo.
“Dronda, dear,” murmured Bill
Burke, “this is the excellent pres
ident of the excellent Comet Air
lines.”
“Gee, and they’re almost as
good as the American Airlines.”
“How nice of you to say so,”
fluttered flattered Mr. Perkin. “I
do hope you enjoyed the flight.”
Mr. Perkin harumphed, then
continued toward the gate lead
ing out onto the field. Helen
whooped when she saw him, and
came dashing over.
“My dear Mr. Perkin, how nice
of you to come to congratulate
i me! ”
Mr. Perkin’s watery gray eyes
| became grave as Jimmy inflict
ed his presence upon him. “I am
sorry to see you in such bad com
pany, Miss Stafford. I will for
give you this once.”
“Aw, you didn’t take my resig
nation seriously, did you, Mr.
Perkin? Why, I’d cut my right
arm off up to here for the Comet
Airlines.”
“And good first officers are dif
ficult to come by these days.”
Mr. Perkin blinked. “Am I to
understand that you are apply
ing for your old job, Mr. Ken
nedy?”
“Well, a man with a family has
to live on something.”
“I’m sure Miss Moore, is ade
quately supplied with cash.”
“But Miss. Stafford isn’t.”
“Miss Stafford?”
“It happened like this,” said
Helen. . . .
Jimmy had not waited for her I
to make up her mind to talk to I
him. He had growled low under
his breath, picked her up, and
carried her out of the room. Sev
eral people looked at them disap
provingly as he carried her into
the suite Mike had been given—
also with Dronda’s compliments.
He ignored her struggles and sat
down with her, cradling her on
his lap.
“How dare you, Jimmy Ken
nedy! Wait till I tell Mike. He’ll
break your neck.”
“I dare anything for the wom
an I love,” he said grandiloquent
ly. “I dare a punch in the nose,
a refusal—anything.”
“Love?” She suddenly ceased
struggling.
“Love,” he repeated. “Helen,
I’ve been an awful fool. All those
girls Sally Dronda when
you’re the only one I tould ever
really love.”
“And I’m just dopey enough
to believe you too.”
“You do believe me, don’t you!

I’ll never be perfect. I guess I’ll
always be attracted by a pretty
face, but I’ll always come back
to the prettiest one of all, the
prettiest and nicest and wonder
lulest girl who ever. . . .”
“Do you have to talk so much?”
“From now on I’ll always let
you have the last word.”
“Good,” said Helen. “Come to
my arms, papa.”
“And I did, too,’ laughed Jim
my, looking straight at Mr. Per
kin. “Even though she was in
mine, I went into hers.”
“Most interesting.”
“And if you hire Jimmy back
aagin. we'll name the first baby
Comet.”
“Well!” said Mr. Perkin. "Well,
Jimmy, you come to see me to
morrow. Os course, I’m not prom
ising. . .
Jimmy looked at Helen and
grinned. “You bet you’ll have the
last word, darling, now and al
ways.”
His muffled exclamation swung
Sally around. “Oh, Mr. Perkin!
How jolly!”
“Have you gone mad, Miss Al
liston? Have you forgotten that
you are in the uniform of the
Comet Airlines?”
“Only until tomorrow, Mr. Per
kin,. Sally doesn’t work for you
any more,” she crowed. “Sally’s
gonna be a housewise.”
And that was true.
Mike had been unable to wait
for everyone to leave. He had
caught her up in his arms the
moment he reached her and
hadn’t set down again until he
ran short of breath.
“Mike, how dare you!”
“Look, you don’t really think
you’re fooling me, do you?”
“You have no right to kiss me.
You’re engaged to marry Helen.”
“Yeah, it worked, didn’t it?
You should have seen the expres
sion on Jimmy’s face when I told
him about it. And I also saw the
expression on your face, darling.'’
“Mike, you can’t love me. You
can’t. You know how nasty I can
be. I won’t let you throw your
self away.”
“When did you realize you were
in love with me?”
“In the park.” she began, then
stopped as eyes rounded. “Oh, I
didn’t mean that. I didn’t mean
that at all. I am not in love with
you. Please leave.”
“When we’re married I shall
beat you,” he said pleasantly.
“Every time you lie to me, I shall
beat you.”
“Mike, I’m not made of brass.”
“See, you didn’t say no!”
You bet she hadn’t, thought
Sally now. Only a fool threw
happiness away, and she was not
a fool. A housewife she’d be and
she’d love it.
“Housewife?” faltered Mr. Per
kin. “But surely you can’t mean
it. Your place is in aviation.
Think of the golden days that lie.
ahead for our industry.”
“A housewife.”
“Maybe.” drawled Mike, “I
