ANEERING changed from his| flying suit into uniform and | climbed into the car beside Dagger. “There's a madhnuso a bit on| where we can get breakfast,” he said. ;And farther out is Eddie S(cdmanK eld. “What's that?” she asked “A private fiying field. Eddy's a good | egg, friend of mine. He trains the over- | flow of candidates for the Government, and a bunch of Cubans and Canadians, into the bargain. You see, Dagger, it would be impossible to send you up in an Army ship, but Eddy could take you and no questions asked.” He hesitated. “It's more or less up to you. I mean, if he thinks vou're safe to teach, he’ll do it for me, although very few women have learned to fly as yet.” “I don't know not,” Dagger as- serted cockily. women can do | anything men can.” \ “I'm betting you can,” Vaneering re- | lied, with an open look of admiration. Biis Shand strayed as by accident over hers, where it Tested on the suerinf wheel. “Youre a very wonderful gir Dagger o And "I dont hold hands,” she snap- “Qui!e right,” he answered cordially. “Too early for that sort of thing.” They had a friendly breakfast to- gether and afterward drove up the 10ad to & much smaller fiying field than Kelly. DA young man came forward at sight agge: “fhis is Eddie Stedman,” Vaneering introduced him. “My friend, Miss Mar- ley, Eddy. She wants to fiy.” “Yes?” he drawled. done a heap of things in this game, but I don't ordinarily contract to teach women, iss Marley.” Tm sure T could learn” answered, hating herself for the stited eagerness she was unable to avoid. “I'd take it as a particular favor, Eddy,” put in Vaneering. “Miss Mar- ley has Pihie Stuff In her T believe, It she can make good she might be useful for _exhibition fiying.” “She might.” conceded Eddy. “But she has a family, eh? “Not to interfere,” Dagger said has- tily. “And I'd love to do exhlblllon‘ flying.” Stedman surveyed her for some mo- | i ments without answering. “You'd have to do exlcuy what you | {i AT T oy satisfied with you rop the whole business.”, But you won't have to, Mr. Sted- " He exchanged grins with I expect not, but still— , “All my busses are in the air and I've got them filled for the rest of the morning. Come tomorrow about this time and we'll see what we can do. Or better say 6 o'clock. I'm sorry to seem ungallant, Miss Marley. but this must be a case saw a great deal of him. Naturally, too Aunt Espy was inquisitive, and at first, critical—until a little investigation re- vealed that Vaneering was the son of one of the most famous and wealthy families in New York. Dagger brushed the information impatiently aside, how- ever. “I don't care who his people are, Aunty. matters. ~ Besides, he’s just a friend, 5o what do I care about his having money?” Dagger honestly thought she meant that statement. Vaneering, however, took their asso- ciation seriously from the beginning. He couldn't see enough of her. He was with her every evening she would give him and afternoons as well, when he could dodge duty. He made no attempt to hide his infatuation, one day when he said to her: “I'm crazy about you, Dagger. God, you're the finest girl I ever knew.” “Oh. you just think so, Jack. You mustn’t "be silly. “It this is .sllllna“, I want to bf’ crazy.” (Continued Tomorrow.) No Oylterx in Baltic Sea.

The cnly person who minded | was Aunt Espy. “I never hurd tell of such nonsense,” affirmed the positive old lady. 'NO you needn't say another word, Alix.

He scamped me.” “Well, I'm not going to scamp you, Aunty. ' I'm going to convince you “Convince me?” scoffed Aunt Espy. “rd like to hear you.” i “All right. Is there any reason why | a woman can't learn to fly as easily as a man? Women ride, dog't they? And flrl\! cars?” “That’s so,” her aunt admitted. “And | it it was any one but you—-" “But why shouldn’t it be me? If l‘ learn I can be useful to the Govem- ment.” “I reckon no girl is going to win tnh war. flying or no flying.” “She could interest women in b\lylnz Liberty honds and contributing to the Red Cross.” Dagger argued. “And break her neck. “It would be her neck.” “Which I'm responsible for.” Dagger laughed. ! “I'm going to fly, Aunty. You might have me locked up or send me back to the ranch, but unless you do one or the other I'll find a way {0 go up.” Aunt Espy bent a calculating glance upon the girl's determined face. “You do sound right sure of your- self.” she commented. “What's got into you? Can't you find plenty of | dances and things—" | “I'm tired of dancing.” flared Dag- | I'm grow ger. “I'm not a little girl. up now.” Aunt’ Espy deliberated and her de- Iberations terminated in what might have been a snort. “I wash my hands of you Alix.

Her first instinct was to grab at | the wheel, in the nick of time, however, femembering that perky handling was| dangerous with either horse or motor | car. Her hands wavered, checked and finally cropped feather-light. Stedman’s approving smile was her reward and for some five minutes he let her meet the problems of fiight. “How was it?” Vaneering as they landed. “Marvelous,” answered Dagge: And Stedman, with one x:g over the side of the cockpit exclaimed, “She’s got it in her, Van. By oeom. she's = born pilot.” Vaneering caught her hlnd “I knew it.” he cried.
