INSTALLMENT IX. EE drove the car as near as possible to the side entrance of the terminal building and told Ann, “I'll be back in a minute or two.” He darted through the open door of the building. Like giant birds chasing their own talls, two planes circled the fleld at an altitude of several thousand feet, while not more than 2,000 feet up a sight-seeing “bus” was just coming in | from one of its many trips over the city. Ann sighed. Twice in her life she had been up in a plane. Her total flying time, she imagined, had been less than 10°'minutes. And she had seen nothing, of course, except the Elmville fair grounds, and, in the dis- tance, Elmville. “All right, Ann . . ." Lee was stand- ing just within the doorway, crooking | & finger, smiling. Ann got out and went inside where she was introduced to at least half a dozen men and two girls. third girl came up and held out a leather coat. “That will probably fit,” she said. “We're about the same size.” Ann was introduced and irformed she was borrowing this girl's coat. “It may be a little chilly up there,” said Lee, with a sly look at the men. “Up where?” Suddenly, she looked up at him. “Lee—are we going up| in an airplane—over Washington?” Lee nodded, grinning. ‘“Anywhere you say. We're using a borrowed ship. And a sweetheart, if any one should ask. I flew it to Chicago a month ago. “Abruptly, his heels clicked. “Well, thanks, everybody. We'll be back shortly. Ready, Ann?” She followed Lee through an office, along a hall and out in the open. He took her arm and together they marched across the porch-like plat- form and down the steps of the field ... Ann was in a state of ecstasy. She was going up with Lee Monday! She looked up at Lee and laughed, a vibrant, joyous laugh that drew his eyes down to hers, He pressed her arm against him. “You're sweet, Ann,” he said. “You're sweet to say it,” Ann said. That was all then. When they came to the waiting two-place cabin plane, they found other things to talk about. ‘Washington from the air was only & memory now. They had town directly to the Capitol, circled the dome, followed Pennsylvania avenue to the White House and swung off to the right headed for Baltimore. Lee's seat was a little forward, but by raising their voices slightly they were able to converse without diffi- culty. “After Washington,” said Ann, “Bal- timore looks messy.” “Good town, though,” Lee said. “Oh look! A train—looks like & | toy, doesn't ff “Or a worm,” said Lee. They talked like that. Little out- bursts from Ann. Calm, amused re- joinders from Lee. To Ann 1t was THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ‘When she saw the clock on the dash, she laughed and called Lee's atten- tion to it. *“Five o'clock. I thought aviators had to keep their clocks and watches right on the dot.” Oddly enough, she did not look at her own watch. They had been at the Wash- ington airport at 3:30, which, she assumed, had been some 30 minutes sgo. But as she had lost her sense of time, she also lost her sense of direction. They passed many towns. The first thing that caught Ann’s attention ‘when another came into view was the long wide avenue that ran througn its center and on which & majority of the many white houses faced. She gripped Lee’s arm as she said, “Can you see out this side, Lee?” “Very pretty town,” Lee said. “Lot of those in New England.” “That's what I mean.” Suppressed excitement was in her voice. “It’s laid out exactly like——like Elmville . .. Even the two churches . .. Oh— you've no idea how much it looks like home ... " . Her face was pressed against the glass, her whole body aquiver with the wonder of the amazing similarity. Lee watched her, smiling, fascinated by her utter naturalness. She was as unselfconscious as a child, and as eager and spontaneous in her every word and gesture. Not moving, she cried, “I can even see the little house that would be ours...” “We'll go down and have a cioser look,” Lee said. The plane inclined slightly and began,a wide circle around the village below, but tne altimeter still registered 3,500 feet. He was looking for something, & goif course, or a base ball diamond or—— “That will serve,” he thought as his eyes unexpectedly came to a wide, open field. “Rough, probably, but with luck a fair take-off.” The nose of the plane was dropping, steadily. No longer was the town Visi= ble to Ann. She swung around. “I know you think I'm being awtully silly, but you can’'t begin to under- stand how like home that place 1s. It's uncanny, Lee!” Twice she saw the scattered houses slip by at a distance and each time they seemed larger ana even more famillar. “You're not going to land . . 7" It was a hope and a plea. “Why not? We're In no hurry.” | “The needle of the altimeter moved slowly to the left. He had deliberately “We're in luck,” Lee told her.

Curious, how he enjoyed watching her, Curious be- cause he could not understand his own feeling toward her. There had been many girls in his life, there would be many more. But tnere nad never been another quite like this un- spoiled child, and he doubted there would ever be another . .. Ana yet, reasonably, he could not be seriousiy interested in her. He was quite sure of this, and while the plane came around in a final bank and suddenly leveled off, he reflected that they, he and Ann, had nothing in common but youth and love of life and that most unusual meeting in Mollle Win- slow’s living room. She was tun be- cause she was different; but it was not a distinction that carried beyond the movement. In a few days he would fly back to the coast and little Ann Rogers would be an episode—a rather pleasant, but quite unimpor- tant episode—of the past. He was glad, she was not the sort who would misinterpret his intentions. “Lee, look! The whole town’s turn- ing out. You'd think they never saw a plane before.” She laughed de- lightedly. Lee bent a little forward, eyes searching the fleld ahead. “Watch it now,” he warned, quietly, “this may be a bit rough.” And while Ann sat rigid, too startled to speak, the plane nosed down, came up level and a moment later was bouncing along on two wheels. Then the tail- skid struck and Lee kicked the brake pedal. Having turned off the switch, the flyer leaned across Ann and unfast- ened the door. “All right,” he said, “let's get out and see what the place looks like.” But Ann neither moved nor spoke. She was gazing out at the gathering crowd, struggling with the sense of unreality that came over her as she understood that these people were not the strangers she had expected, but men, women and children she had known all her life. Ann told her mother in the kitchen after dinner: “I thought we were fly- ing in a circle around Washington and I hadn't any idea that clock in the plane was right . . . I'm afraid I'll never be able to convince myself this isn't & dream.” Ann's mother was only slightly larger than her daughter, a frail little woman whose hair was as dazk as it had been 20 years ago, but there were tiny lines under her eyes which, un- New Styles Nurses Uniforms $4 $5 Two new uniforms that deftly combine professional dig- nity with becoming details.

I won't sleep until I know you're on the ground again.” “Of course——" Ann lifted a hand, grinning. “Listen—father’s letting more come in. They must be piled up three deep by now.” But her mother’s alert ears had caught the sound of familiar voices. “It’s Mr. and Mrs. Manley,” she whispered. “They've come to ask about Rita.” Ann’s father came to the kitchen. “Rita’s folks are here,” he said. “You two can't stick back here by your- selves. The whole town’s in the front room.” Ann smiled up at her father, think- ing how much he and Bill Hudson were alike in height and build. “We're coming, dad. But can’t we have just a tiny little family reunion before it's too late?” She held out & hand to him and in & moment he had stepped forward and caught both Ann and her mother in his arms. “My, but it's nice to see you,” Ann said softly. “I feel as if I'd been away for years.” She ran her finger down her father's vest buttons. It was an old trick and he grinned. “Mother’s uneasy about my going back in Lee's WOODWARD 10™IMF a0 G Sreeers D. €., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1933, plane, dad,” she told him then. “It's perfectly safe, isn't it?” “Of course, it's safe” He put a finger under his wife's chin and made her look at him. “Tell you what I'll do. You keep Ann here and I'll go back with Lee Monday. How's that?” Ann’s question was out before she knew it. “Do you like him, dad?” “Lee Monday? Say, he’s my idea | — He was suddenly silent, staring into Ann'’s eyes. “Look here, Ann—" But Ann checked him. “Don’t get silly notions in your head. He’s simply being nice and I'm letting him.” They heard Lee's voice raised in laughter in the front room. “We've simply got to rescue him from that mob,” she said, quickly. “He said he wanted to leave by 7.” It was almost 8 o'clock before the plane roared down the narrow lane marked by three lanterns on either side and suddenly zoomed up into the night. Once that first sharp surprise of almost vertical climbing had passed, Ann settled back comfortably. BShe was happy—incredibly happy. Only her mother’s parting whisper had marred the moment of good-bys: “Tell Mr. Monday to be careful, Ann. I'm so terribly afraid something will happen.” “As if,” Ann thought now, smiling, “anything could possibly happen with Lee Monday at the controls.” The rising wind they faced as they made their way to the plane had meant nothing to Ann.
