Ee e ——————————— TR - er Bathers Da {44 by Clinabeth Yarsell The thus fer: Johnny Mulveney lays aside his science story degree when his invalid father Mike's company, Mulvensy Ma- chines, Inc., is wrested from him By unezplained stock manipuls- tions, and he and their former chauffeur Steve Mike salvages from thé of the only property over opération ndncigl wrock, & gas station. In love with Sheila Morgan, daughter of Mike's Mbl‘- dealing lawyer, Johnny is crushed when she transfers her afections to his friend, Vic Shawbdridge, and when Vic practically exnounces their engagement defore he leavés for the Army Air Corps, Johnny s Droken hearted. Sheils’s house guest, Patty Grayson, gives Johnny information that might indicate Owen Morgan’'s guilt in the stock deal, dut it {aw't conclusive. When Vie's father, & prominent Rastern lewyer, visits the Morgans, even Sheila dearing seems annoyed by his over- CHAPTER XII On Thursday of that week the Morgans and Rand vbrldfi Patty were having dinner when a long-distance call 2‘1’:. for Mr. Shaw- ummnmnnmmumuurno phone, bridge. He left the table and when was white faced and visibly ahaken. “It’'s Vie,” he said, his voicé quavering. “An Amy training plane erashed and he was in it. His mother is prostrated. That—that was the butler on the phone.” The man’s whole physique mmod 40 have un- flmped and his lonl muscular legs ssemed ready to fold under him. Even his face, ruddy and glowing & few moments before, was pale and drawn and his eyes were dull with an unnatural, stricken expression in them. Owen Morgan got to his feet awk- wardly and put a heavy hand on Randolph's shoulder. “This is— terrible,” he said, searching for words. “The boy hasnt been—I mean, there still is—hope? “They've sighted the wreckage on the side of & monnuln—lnwoudhle they say. A ground party’s been sent to search for the—the bodies!” The last word fell from his lips with @ leaden heaviness tull of despair. “Oh, my God!” The exclamation cames from Clarissa, who went limp in her chair as if she were going to | faint, her face deathly pale. Patty got up quickly, glancing at | Bheila. She held a glass of water to Mrs. Morgan’s lips, and as the older woman took a faltering sip Patty looked again at Sheila. She could read no expression in her friend’s classically beautiful face ex- eept stunned ineredulity. There was | no terror, no sign of hysteria; only & deep, unbelieving frown. A Man of Action. ‘When Sheila saw Patty looking at her she came suddenly to life and quickly got up from her chair. She was hesitant, going to Vic's father; she went as if she knew it was the thing to do and was determined to do it. She laid her hand on his arm and gave it s gentle pressure. “Vie ‘was 50—e0 alive. It just can't be. I don't belleve it. He couldnt be— dead.” Randolph Shawbridge looked down her vacantly and nodded. “No.” he said, as if he couldn't quite compre- hend the thought. “No, of course. Vic couldn’t be— he couldn’t be—" HMis lips were still fumbling with the words when he suddenly took a deep breath and looked around quickly, from one face to another, s if he had just come into the room. Then he rubbed his big hands to- gether briskly, hunched his shoul- ders and darted his eyes to Owen "Bn man bring the car around, om I've got :o';:t out to the airport. I'll go out there my- self and handle that search. God, I won't leave a thing undone to bring that boy back safe. He's all right. I know he is. I have & huneh. Where's your phone, Owen? =—ANR, yes, I know.” He spun on his heel and strode across the living room to the study. Clarisss got up from her chair. Patty holding her arm, and they all trooped after the man, grouping around the library door as he put| "2 through his call. Belatedly Owen went to the house phone and ”‘di the chauffeur to hurry around wi the car. Then, he, too, joined t.he ‘women at the door of the study. “Hello, hello!” Randolph was bel- lowing. “Is this the manager? . .. When's your next plane for the coast? . .. When does it get there? o o whn about chartering one? Would that be quicker? ... All right, all right, the cost doesn’t matter. Randolph Shawbridge speaking. Have it on the fleld and waiting in an hour. . . . Don't you worry about that, my mln ‘You just have that plane ready when I get there!” He turned from the phone as he glammed it back on its hook and | headed right through the group at the door as he made his way to the stairs. “I'l pack my bag and be down in & minute. No need of you com- ing along now, Owen. You'd better stay and take care of that girl of | yours, poor child.” Seek Out Johnny. “Let's go for & ride,” Sheila said a little while after Mr. Shawbridge had left. “I'm too nervous to sit around here. I know dad and mother will be mooning over me and bringing me hot tea and broth and | everything else they can think of to cheer me up. I couldn't stand it.” “Sure,” said Patty. “You get my Jacket nnd I go around and get Four car.” A few minutes later the two girls pulled out of the driveway and onto the street. Patty was driving and hadn't any particular destination in mind, but they'd driven only a block when Sheila provided one for them. “We ought to let Johnny Mul- vaney know, don't you thlnk, in?" “Why I—I suppose we should” Patty said. She turned at the next corner and headed down toward the gas station. Johnny was leaning against one of the pumps, smoking a cigarette and talking to Steve when they drove in. “You're going to lose your license,” Patty said, pulling up alongside them. “Smoking a cigarette 10 inches away from a nozzle on that hose!"” “We believe in living dangerous- tv.” Johnny said, grinning. “How are you, Patty—and Sheila?” “We thought maybe you'd like to go for & ride,” Patty said, pretend- ing not to notice Sheila's start of surprise. “How about jumping out of that jumper and turning the place over to Steve?” Johnny looked from one girl to the other, but he apparently didn't ue mythln. discouraging in either’s "Ony “You don't mind, do you, Bteve?” “Go ahead, lad” :' Steve said |1 tioned Vic. She told Johnny about the phone call for Mr. Shawbridge and repeatéd the uninformative message he had gotten from his butler in New York. “Gosh, 8heila,” Johnny said when she had finished. “I'm awfully sorry. I hope it isn’t as bad as it sounds.” “I wish to heavens people would blazed unexpectedly. “It's Vie that's been hurt.” ‘The words were like & blow to Johnny, knocking him ‘way back to the summers that seemed to have been gone forever—the summers ‘when the old Sheila with the tightly braided black hair and the utterly unveneered and independent per- else in their place the moment they made & blunder. Through, the het surge of embarrassmen being called down in that tone, he felt & thrill of satisfaction. Patty broke the silence with- a surprised laugh. “I swear, Sheils, Maude Claybourne must bé turning | gottén that ladylike coating of sugar | they gave you already?” came out was to get away from the sobbing sympathy dad and mother ‘were preparing to pour all over me. And now he has to start.” Johnny laughed. “I take it all back, Sheila. Forget I ever said any- thing. But I do hope Vie is all rigl “80 do 1,” Sheila said quietly. “And so0 do 1” Patty said, and she wondered if the other two wers thinking, as she was, that this was & strange tableau to be enacting in what was practically the presence of death. For a girl who was supposed to be in love with Vie Shawbridge, Shella’s attitude was certainly pecu- liar. For one who liked him it would be bad enough; only for someone, like herself and Johnny, who had reason enough to detest him, did it seem even remotely appropriste. Geed News. When the girls got back home Owen was waiting for them, grin ning around Sheila’s shoulders. “Mrs. Shawbridge called just 4 few minor injuries. The plane was com- pletely wrecked, but the two lads had jumped out In their parachutes when they saw it was going to erash, and it took them nearly 12 hours ta reach habitation.

What did she think I might do, bump myself off?” Does my family think I'm that erasy?” Patty shook her head but said nothing. She would have liked to contribute & few remarks of her own, but she didn't think it would be proper. And anyway she might g0 too far and disclose her deeper | and more serious antipathy toward Owen Morgan.
