(C'outiuurd on l'nge G, Col. 4) AURFORCE-C CHAPTER IX Jane, a fashion artist, shares an apart ment In London with Stella, a free lance Journalist. Jane joins the WAAF. The night before entering service she walks through dim streets and collides with a flight lieutenant of the RAF. Stopping to break her engagement with Stella she discovers that the lieutenant, Timothy Poel Sanders nicknamed "Tips" 5s Stella's divorced husband. Jane hears that Tips' squadron flies at 10 o'clock and that they are searching for him. She pedals to the home of Mrs. Stanton, where she finds the flier. He leaves at once. Mrs. Stanton accuses Jane of sending Tips to his death. Tips misses the flight from which Flight Lieutenant Stanton and Jimmie Stafford fail to re turn. Stafford's sweetheart accuses Jane of warning Tips so he would miss the flight. While walking to a railroad sta tion Jane meets Tips in a car and he gives her a lift. He kisses her and Jane gets out of the car, saying she prefers to walk. Tips drives off and calls on Mrs. Stanton. That's all right Don't if you don't want to." "It's not that But . . .", "Oh, why can't you be honest?" she flared bitterly. "You don't want to come in. You're sick to death of me. You have been for some time. I've never meant anything to you. The fact that you made me fall in love with you doesn't concern you. You don't care that now I'm so utterly miserable I could kill my self." "Oh, my God," groaned Tips. "Here! No, don't get out of the car. Shut that door and sit right where you are for a minute. I didn't mean to make you fall in love with me, and I don't for a moment believe that you really are. As a point of interest I'm not worth it So be sensible. You and I can be friends . . ."he broke off. She was out of the car now, dragging her suitcase from the back seat. He got , out and took it from her and set it be side the gate. They stood silently together for a moment He didn't know quite how to leave her. "I suppose I'm just a fool," she said miserably, her anger suddenly vanishing. "I wish I weren't so terribly in love with you. I'll try to be sensible, Tips. If only you'll promise not to stop seeing me sud denly or anything so drastic. I couldn't get along at all if you dropped me." Her arms reached up to him. "Kiss me good night Tips darling." , Tips kissed her. He hadn t the heart to refuse. "I'll ring you in the morning," he said as he re leased her. "Do, Tips." She watched him go. Then slowly she turned and walked up the garden path leading to the house. As her hand touched the VionHio nf the door it opened from within. She stood stock still, the color draining from her cneeKs. "Guy!" ' ' Guy was there before her, bulk ier noainst the lieht from the hall. The glitter in his eyes sent an icy shiver of fear through her. The ovnrC5inT1 DTI her face . . . i "Guy, is it really you? I thought " "That I was dead?" He laughed shortly. "I gathered from the touch ing little scene I've just witnessed that you and Tips Sanders were darned glad to be rid of me. I'm snrrv to disanooint you both, but these things happen in war time. I returned this afternoon. Alice told mf vnn'd been awav for the nient I must confess that I didn't suspect that, quite so soon after my sup posed death, it would have been jitVi Tina Trw1-Kanders." Iris stared at Guy. She was glad for his sake, of course, that he was ctni nlivp. but she certainly wasn't glad for her own sake. For her this sudden and unexpected re appearance was a bitter disappoint ment It meant that she was no longer free to marry Tips. Rut did this really make any dif ? Heaven knew she could no longer deceive herself into imagining that Tips wanted to mar Iris went slowly into the hall and Guy closed the door. She knew the linp shp would take now. She could tell Guy the truth as to where she had been for the last two days, but it ne man i cnoose 10 Deueve n . jupir she wouldn't worry. He followed her into the drawing room. She saw that the whisky de ranter, which had been full before she'd gone to London, was now nearly empty, ana knew tnat ne must have been drinkine heavily. She drew a sharp breath. "I'm sorry, Guy. I don't quite know what you expect me to do or say." Hp lauehed shortly. All throueh this last terrible fortnight he'd thought about her and prayed that o mirarlp mieht harmen and in some way he might get back to her. When his plane had been snot down in the sea on the night ol the raid, Vio'H thonffht all was us with him. ' When a German submarine picked him up and took him prisoner he'd hnnPht acain that that would be the end. For thirteen days which had been sheer hell he'd been kept .v,rH huddlpfl in an inrlpss. con fined space, barely existing on the meacer bad food, until the subma- i r ... "Can you deny that you're in love with Foci-Sanders? rine had in her turn been captured by the British. The commander and crew had been given five min utes to take to their boats. He himself had been found and res cued together with three other air men. Immediately he'd got in touch with the station and told them he was all right. He'd said he was coming back right away. Then when he'd reported at the airdrome and come to his home', he'd found that the house was empty; Alice, when questioned, had said that the mis tress had gone off the previous day to London. But she would be back that evening. At first he'd been unsuspicious., Then, as he'd sat there brooding before the fire, he'd remembered that he'd learned up at the station that Tips Poel-Sanders was also away for twentfour hours' . leave. Then he'd put two and two together. And now ... he turned on tier bitterly. "Some wives might show a little pleasure when their hus bands return from the dead. You, I see, are clearly disappointed." "That's quite untrue," she said evenly. "Just as it's untrue to sug gest that Tips and I have been away together. I've been in town staying with Mary Leighton. If you doubt my word, you can ring her up and ask her. Tips merely picked me up at her flat and we dined togeth er and came straight bacK alter. Guy came nearer and stood look ing down at her. Should he tell her that of course he wanted to believe it? That the trouble was that he couldn't? "Can you deny that you re in love with Poel-Sanders?" . j "No." .... "Well, then?" " " "I've been m love with him for a long while, ever since I met him, in fact. But I've always been faithful to you, Guy." His breath came unevenly. He was tenpted for a moment to ao cept her word. Somehow there had been a ring of truth in her voice. Then he asked himself scornfully what was that to go by. She could lie as well as any woman a good deal better than most he supposed. "That's not true." Her lips compressed. She picked up her coat and held it over her arm, her hat and bag in her hand. Isn't it rather late for a scene of this kind? I'm very tired. I'm go ing to bed." She moved toward the door as she spoke, but he barred her way. "I'll divorce you," he thundered, "and I'll name Poel-Sanders as corespondent." "Do," she returned coolly. "There's nothing I would like bet ter. Though I'm afraid you're go ing to find it a little difficult to get your evidence." He met her eyes. For a moment they stood facing each other, fury raging between them. Then sua denly his expression changed. A little of the anger died in his eyes and in his heart, too. There was now only a dreadful, aching misery. "Iris." The word had been wrung from him. It came again. His hand was on her arm. But she brushed it aside and swept through the door and ran swiftly up the stairs. Jane's twenty-four hours' leave was postponed. Brett asked if she'd mind changing with her. Jane said she didn't mind at all. One week was the same as another to her. She was therefore at the airdrome when the news came through that Guy Stanton had returned. Hunter's gossiping tongue seemed now even longer than ever, though all her malice was directed against Iris Stanton. It was Hunter who told them all, a couple of days lat er, that Guy Stanton was going to divorce his wife and tnat lips foel Sanders would be the corespond ent. The next day Jane started for her twenty-four hours' leave. The car was full. Jane moved into the corridor. At least it was quiet and there was some air. She looked out of the window, seeing that now already they were pass ing through the -outlying suburbs She saw all the neat little gar dens. She saw that nearly each one had an air raid shelter. The dreadfulness of war swept over her. To think that this peaceful country should be in such danger! "Jane!" ; She turned. A tall officer with red tabs on his shoulder was looking down at her. "Clive!" It was Clive Forbes to whom she had once been briefly en gaged. ,?'Dq I salute you or do we shake hands?" Clive laughed. "If we weren't in , a train surrounded by people, I'd probably kiss you." The color crept into her cheeks. "The same Clive!" she mocked him gently. His eyes showed her how glad he was to see her. "The same Jane! Gosh, it's good to see you, , dar ling! I've thought about you' so much since last we met" v - . j "What are you doing these days, ; Clive?" she asked. ; "I'm at the War Office. And you? I can see what you're doing, but where are you stationed?" . She told him. She said, "It's nice to be so near to London. I can get up and see Stella when I have any time off. I've got twenty-four hours' leave." i His eyes brightened. "1 say, ; that's grand! Listen, darling, what , are you intending to do with it?. Are you terribly booked up?" She told him honestly that she wasn't booked up at all, except that she wanted to put in a certain amount of time with Stella. "Could we perhaps have tonight , out together?" he urged. "Let's do that, darling, just for old times' . sake." He certainly seemed glad to see her. And she yes of course she was glad to see him. Perhaps it would do her good to have a gay evening. She knew Stella wouldn't mind. Now he was making plans. They'd dine at the Savoy. They'd see a show if Jane liked, and then gc on and dance somewhere after ward. I suggest we dress and make a real night of it. After all when one meets the only girl one's ever 1 loved after an interval of years. . ." Jane smiled. "You ve not altered much, have you? Which reminds me I haven t altered, either." "Haven't you?" he said regret fully. "That's a pity. I was rath er hoping you might have done so." ' She said good-bye to him at Vic toria, promising to meet him at the Savoy at seven o clock that eve ning. She wouldn't let him call for her. She jumped on a bus and made her way to Duke Street. Jane followed Stella into the flat. She stopped short on the threshold of the sitting room. It was in a state of wild confusion. Stella" was obviously turning out Books and papers were littered about. It was all very different from the comfort able happy home they had shared together. Jane sat down heavily on the divan that had always been her bed. "Oh, Stella! What's happened? Have you let the flat?" "No. But the landlord has agreed to let me off my lease. I owe three months rent but they've obligingly promised to wait for that I'm send ing all the furniture to an auction room. I'm sorry about that, Jane. I'll send you your share of what it brings in. I hate doing it, but I'm so darned broke." Jane took off her things, found a smock and said that she'd help. It seemed that she'd arrived at the right moment After all, who should help Stella move but herself? Hadn't they come here together?" Jane looked at her sympathetically, thinking how tired she looked. "Is work sticky?" she asked. Stella looked at her eloquently. "Work is just nonexistent Oh, Jane, Jane! you're so much better off than I am! I wish to goodness I could get into one of the wom en's services. I think very likely I'll try." "I should. Why not become a Waaf? It's all frightfully interest ing. And you could easily say you were under thirty." (TO BE CONTINUED).
