flushed hotly.

to crying aver spilt milk," said
Masters, queeloiy. "We had a nasty
sipill, and the least said about it
'tile better for all concerned."
"That is a matter of opinion,"
remarked Powell, solely. "1 saw 110
signs of a sprained wrist yesterday,
and YOU seemed normal to -day."
"It got worse last night," said
Leonie, and her confusion was; in-
creased by the sneering laugh
which greeted her words,
"It must have bean caused by the
excitement of meeting our friends 1
here," her husband remarked, in-
dieating Berle with what should
have been a friendly smile, but was
a sneer.
And Leonie realised Powell had
asked the pilot as his guest for the
express purpose of covertly insult-
ing
nsulting him,
The light eyes .taa.velled from one
face to the other and then, as
neither the man or the girl smoke,
Powell added smilingly—
"And how she manages to use her
arm tier rigiht one, too—so well is
a matter of wonderment."
"I don't see any point in discus-
sing this, Powell!" cried Leonie,
desperately. "I may have exagger-
ated my hurt, but it is not very nice
for Captain Masters to dlisten to this
argument is it?"
"Personally I think Mrs. Carr

"The experience was enough to
make ally woman ill, She wants
a long holiday miles away from an
aerolpfane."
"Reailly?" Powell nodded thought-
fully, "That is a pity, because I
am anxious for her to watch them,
Shultz will pilot her on those 0e-
casious,
"1 thought you had dismissed
Shultz?" asked Master quickly,
"And In any case he doesn't Iteow

"Shultz can keep his mouth
shut," retorted Powell, "I know
enough about him to have hien km-

He is down at the bungalow now
and never leaves the hangar at
night.
Leonie shivered. 'IIow long ago
it seemed to her now that she had
feet joy in the thought of being the
first woman to attempt such a trip
alone! How long ago had she
talked with Powell about the great
day!
And now she was shuddering as
she remembered the surly mecbanic
who, with her husband, would be
her sole companions+ on the first
part of that trip!
For only last night Powell had
told her that come what may he
would be in his machine when she
left the aerodrome.
In vain had she argued that he
was not fit to risk the excitement,
in vain she told him he would 1(4) -

as far as Paris with her!
Bat Powell was adamant, and the
girl, knowing she had given her
word to Bessie that she would not
go up, was content to let it pass,
Little, indeed, had Powell guess-
ed, however, and her speech at
Waterloo had been her first intima-
tion that she must change the plans
so long made between then!.
And he had' ignored that etate-
ment.
He talked now of taking her to
the lonely bungalow with its secret
shed and hangar that guarded the
'plane until she went to the aero-
drome on the day before she took
off for her world trip,
I wanted to go to town for Bee's
wedding, Powell," she said, and her
voice was casual, "I proanuseel her
I would, It takes place next week,
and I hate breaking my promise,"
Was it her fancy or did Eerie
glance over the flower -decked table
towards her?
''I hate broken promises," agreed
her husband, "anl that is one thing
of which you are never guilty,
Leonie, are you, my dear? So, that
when you promised me you would I
pilot the Golden Bird, I knew you
weals do it, oto matter what hap- i
paned!"
"I don't believe I dirt promise—On
so many words, did I?" asked the
girl, and her face was a mask. "Yoe
were very ill at the time, and like
the child' who cried for the moon,
You asked me to go when the doctor
said you were on: no account to
think of attempting such a danger-

"And you jumped at the idea of
the wonderful adventure!" said
Powell. "Yousaid you would take
