"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?"

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) - set bath her and Shuatz If he went. 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- ous Right—" "And you jumped at the idea of the wonderful adventure!" said Powell.
