She gave him a sharp glance.
Her eyes widened, Swiftly she

$abs, I wag at Halebridge just
four weeks ago, It takes about.
e o
that long for a letter to get ut to
Saskatchewan so the last word
Clarry's mother had about him
(apart from the casualty signal)
was that he was visiting your
people, as she always hoped he'd
do. Remember, your parents have-
n't the slightest idea what he
looked like, They will never know
he didn't come unless you tell
them."
Barbara murmured something
that Jack did not catch. He had
come to a sudden decision.
"I won't be able to come to the
Island with you tomorrow. I'd Net-
ter not, anyway, .And—I'm posted
back on operations. I'm going to
the Canadian Bomber Group in
Yorkshire."
Once more the ticking of the
clock was all that 'broke the sil-
ence. It was an age before he
heard her whisper, "It means we
shan't see one another again,
Johnnie. Do you realize that?"
"I don't see why not," he ar-
gued. 'Not at Halebridge — no.
But I'll get leave every six weeks
or so. You care always get up to
town. We might take in another
show."
"That would be nice," she
murmured, without enthusiasm.
She turned from the window
and walked, to the centre table,
Idly, as if only to keep her hands
occupied she began to sort out the
papers on it. ' Graydon watching
her covertly, saw that she hesitat-
ed . momentarily as she picked up
the illustrated periodical which
contained his photograph. S h e
placed it on top of the stack,
smoothed out the pile. Jack drew
a fresh cigarette from his case and
fumbled with his lighter. When he
spoke it was with studied careless-
ness.
"Have you heard from Bill
Brandham lately?"
"No, I haven't. He's on the
northern convoy route now. He'll
hardly be in Portsmouth again for
a long time."
"Decent chap, I thought."
"Yes, he is. I'm very fond of
Bill,"
Of course she's fond of
Bill (Graydon told himself). It's
Brandham. It always has been
Brandham. Lucky you didn't make
a fool of yourself over her! You
may see her in London the odd
time. Don't go to the Island and
spoil it all. The DP gave you a
choice of postings. Take him at
his word. Get back flying with
Mac and Frenchy and you'll soon
forget her . .
And, as he snapped his lighter
again, wondering why the spark
would not ignite, he was almost
convinced. While Barbara, in turn,
was thinking:
Keep your head, you silly
little fool! Of course he doesn't
care! That pretty little blonde is
the only girl he's interested in.
Shop trembling! Don't let him see
it sticking out all over you .. .
The long silence was broken by
a crackle on the tannoy. A voice
announced that it was black -out
time. As he reached over to draw
the curtains Jack saw a group .of
girls 'coming up the walk; half a
dozen were turning in toward the
mess building. The outer door
opened and a bable of voices was
heard from the corridor. In a
moment this little room would be
swarming with excited pupils, all
talking of their coming leaves and
their postings.
"Perhaps I'd better go now,"

he suggested. 'Before that mob
comes in. You'll want to be
alone."
"Thanks, Johnnie. I'll walk to
the corner with you. My hut's
down that way."
Slowly they strolled down the
hedge -bordered lane, They walked
as if on parade, their footsteps
beating out the slow cadence of
the requiem march. They avoided
each other's eyes, Only the crunch
of their boot -heels on the gravel
and the tinkle of faroff sheep -bells
broke the silence.
Dusk had fallen. Meadow and
sky were murging into one dark
mass and only the nearer objects
were visible. A cloud hovering
near the waning moon; heavier
clouds blanketed the evening sky.
Only in the west was there a
clear patch and there the stars of
Orion shone dimly against an az-
ure field.
A snatch of verse ran through
Graydon's mind. He murmured
softly:
"'High above Betelguise, they
say
, Beyond Orion's questing
ekes . ' "
It was Barbara who added:
"'There lies a pilot's paradise'.
Yes, Johnnie. Let's hope he made
a happy landing." •
They had reached a bend in the
lane and halted beside a stile
which agave on to a path that
wound across the meadow. Barb-
ara was standing in the shade of
a great oak, her figure almost lost
to view as the khaki uniform
blended into the background of
the hedge. Only her face was vis-
ible as a moonbeam flitted across
it. Graydon's arm stole about her
waist. His disengaged hand up-
tilted her chin.
"I don't want to rob the Navy,"
he whispered. "But—may I kiss
you, just once?"
It was a long, long time before
the dark lashes raised. A pair of
deep blue eyes, brimming with
tears, looked full into his. Jack
did not know that his own were
moist as they. He saw only that
the girl's lips were quivering.
Suddenly their arms were about
each other, straining, fiercely
clutching.
"Barbara—darling!" he mutter-
ed brokenly.
"Oh, Johnnie boy!" she sobbed.
"You dear—damned fool!"
It Was noon next day when they
boarded a'the Portsmouth - bound
train at Waterloo. Graydon had
ample time during the morning to
call on the Director of Personnel
and tell him that he was ready to
take the Beaulieu posting after all.

TNECalvert SPORTS COLUMN
&Ncvc
?e4%
This column has been, since its origin,
dedicated to good sportsmanship. And al-
thongh horse -,acing is an extremely practical
business, we can't find a more truly fair and
sporting event in 1952 than the mulling of
the $50,00Q, international in Maryland. •
That an English -bred horse, flown across
the Atlantic won the race, is beside the point.
'The sporting spirit in which the race was conditioned is the
thing that intrigues, and•wins admiration,
American horses race on dirt tracks.. Flat races on the
turf are extremely rare on this continent. But in Britain and
Europe, the great percentage of races are staged on turf
courses. And so, to give the foreign horses a fair chance the
Maryland race was held on the turf instead of a dirt track,
And the start was of a walk-up type, as used principally over-
seas, instead of from the electrical starting -gate commonly
used in America.
How different from the other races of a similar type, 111
other years, in which great horses were brought from England
and Frazee, to race against the cream of, American thorough-
breds, but were defeated under conditions: strictly American;
which gave the invaders little chance, particularly as in, these
days, the foreign horses were shipped by boat. For the Mary-
land race, they were flown across.
When in 1923, Papyrus, winner of the Epsom Derby that,
year, was beaten by Zev, the Kentucky Derby victor, in a
match race at Belmont, there was some American cheering
over what was rated the superiority of United States horse-
flesh to that bred on the other side of the ocean. But experts
grudgingly admitted that in rhe mud which happened to prevail
that day, a track condition entirely strange to the British
"'horse, Papyrus wasn't shod properly to combat the track con-
dition..Even if he had been, it's doubtful if he could have wbn.
Papyrus had never before set his dainty hoofs into mud, and
that he was improperly shod in the bargain gave him no
chance in what was by no means a real test of quality.
Then -there was the case of "Spinach" the French racing
star Epinard, brought across in 1924, and pitted against Ameri-
ca's best horses at a variety of distances under American rac-
ing conditions. He ran three times against two or more Am-
erican horses that represented America's tops at the various
distances, and all the races were under American racing con-
ditions.
With the International of 1952, more fair and sporting
rules prevailed, designed to place no horse at a disadvantage,
nor to give an edge to any. The horses met on exactly equal
terms, and that, we believe rates the event as one conducted
in the spirit of true sportsmanship not excelled in any event
of the year, anywhere.
