THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1929 GOLDEN GIRL INSTALMENT FIVE sour people have been | drawn toegther at the Mineola | Flying Field, The first of these is Solange Harper, who runs the Crowsnest a lunch- room across the road from the landing area. Next comes Jerry Corbett, a pilot whom So-s0 has adored for years. Hig pal, Fred France, fs in jove with So-so. To complete the quartet, there is Constance Terry, a society girl who has taken up flying. She has just bought a plane for herself and christened it the Icemaiden. Jerry is teaching her to fly. The Ehgagement Jerry had a queer dream the night after the christening of the Icemaiden, He usually slept so soundly that he found himself con- gidering this one when he woke just before sunrise. He had dream- ed that he was with Constance. In his dream he took her in his arms and kissed her, but when she look- ed up at him, it was with So-so's face. "They are a little alike, both tall and plond," he thought now, "but where So-so's hair has a sort of yellow color, Connie's is more of an ash blond. And then she's got the latest Parisian bob, while So- so just lets hers grow." He lay considering the two girls, Both of them good sports, and, what was extremely important to Jerry, air-minded. He dismissed So-go and thought exclusively of Constance. "I might fall fn love with her. She's rotten with money 1 suppose, but then that's no parti- cular drawback, she's good sport enough to give that up if she care for me. Wonder what Fred would think." He looked across the room he shared with Fred to where the lat- ter was still sound asleep on his narrow bed. "Wake up, Fred," Jerry called, No answer. Jérry heaved a pillow at him. Fred turn- ed over and groaned, 'Opens the peepers, laddie--the birds are twittering--merry sunshine"s all about." "Oh, go to hell!" Fred muttered. "Now, now. That's no way to talk. Open "em up kid, I want to ask you a question." "Whatsit?"" " 'Whatsit?* Is that a way to answer when I want to ask you how to tell when I'm in love?" Fred opened nis eyes. "Who By BARBARA WEBB A second pillow hit him, "You answer me, you lousy mechanic--" "I'm sure she likes you, Jerry. Cultivate her. Good luck. God bless you and so on. Now let me go back to sleep and I'll give you an acre of nonskid atmosphere for a wedding present." Jerry allowed Fred to go back to sleep. Connie wag a peach, no doubt of it. And he was seeing her later in the morning. She was nearly ready to fly the Icemaiden solo. She was fine and generous, everything a flier could ask of a wife, - He mulled the matter over while he shaved. By 9 o'clock he had convinced himself that he was in love with Constance and that she needed only a little necessary at- tention to return his feeling. _ When he met her at the field and went through the final instructions on a practice plane he watched for the smile in her eyes. He liked the quick, capable way she had of tak- ing hold of things. By the time they got into her sport roadster to drive back to the Terry farm he was speculating on his opportunity to let her know something of his feelings. They Icemaiden, trols. "Goo" girl," he said approvingly when they landed. "You'll do. A little more confidence on the banks is all you need." "Will you lunch with me?" Con- stance dnvited, "I'm alone. Tath- er's gone into the city for the day." Jerry accepted and after lunch they went out into the late fall sunshine and sat in some chairs to survey the green and red and gold of the trees on the estate. 'Clark would say this 1s a 'top- ping' view'. Jerry mused. | "Englishmen are funny. aren't they?" Constance answered idly. "Amusing--youwouldn't want to marry one, would vou, Connie?" Constance looked at him in sur- prise, "Heavens, no! Why do you ask?" "I just wondered. What kind of man are you going to marry?" "One who does things, I hate 1d- lers. I like men that work. Most of the men I know have inherited a lot of money and they just fit in somewhere in the family business and never strike out for themselves at all." "Would vou or?" "1 would, Jerry." went up together in the Constance at the con- consider an aviat- "a2 with?" he asked inelegantly, "I've counted all my lovely lady friends up, subtracted 340 and the |Ang the funny part is, so far as I special reason why we should.

"Then--then ,"* Constance broke the embarrassed silence that fell petween them, "then I suppose | we're engaged." "I reckon we are." Jerry pulled | her to her feet. "And I reckon I might like to kiss you." f He bent his face to hers. She met his kiss firmly and willingly but it was a slightly puzzled Jerry that looked down at her after the caress. To himself he was saying. "Now T ought to get some king of a kick out of this. She's a mighty kissable girl. © Knows how, too." They occupied the chairs again. "You're got a rotten lot of money, haven't you Connie?" She nodded. 'It's mostly fath- er"s but I'm an only child and I have some investments of my own. Does it worry you, Jerry?" "Some. Would you be willing to live on my salary?" "I'd like to keep my own money, It isn't so much, But I wouldn't want father to keep handing out funds all the time for us." "That sounds fair enough. Will he think I'm a fortune hunter?" "Hardly. He likes you and he thinks there's a big future in avia- tion. He's puts some money into it, and he has no more use than I have for idlers." They sat in companionable sil- ence for a little while, Jerry won- dered if he was really happy. He was contented. He was proud of Constance. He knew he would be | regarded as an unusually lucky | chap. This something that was missing, this thrill people engaged to be married were supposed to feel, it probably wasn't very important. Involuntarily he thought of So- so. There was a.girl who would fall head aver heels some day. He turned to Constance thrusting the gtrangely unwelcome thought of So0-s0 back in his mind. "Do you want me to talk to your father?" he asked. "Yes. I think you should. He probably won't be very surprised. He's asked me a lot of questions about you." "Do you want to keep it quiet | awhile?"

The heat came from a leaky steam pipe in the basement room, Deputy Wardens Max Gross and P. T. Ferrie, who made an investiga- tion, reported. It was the story of Bofferty Bogg, a plumber, who was sent to repair the pipe, which led to the investigation and the deci- sion that the heat caused the flames which liberated clouds of poinson- ous gases and overcame many of the 300 occupants of the building. As reports were received regu- larly of additional deaths due to the insidious action of the fumes, the total mounted toward the 130 mark, with indications that the number would be increased before today. The latest list contained the names o 124 dead. Found Door Open Bogg told the authorities he found the fireproof door to the vault open and the place where the films were kept full of steam, pre- sumably from a leaky pipe, He was unable to find the leak, how- ever, and finally noticed a brown sticky substance on the ceiling, from which steam seemed to be issuing. He used a fire extinguisher with no effect and was overcome a few minutes later by the gas. As ho was attempting to crawl out of the room, Bogg said, an explosion lift- ed him through the door, and he eventually reached the outside, seemingly none the worse for the experience. The blistered vault door, which was supposed to close automatie- ally when the heat reached a sufii- ciently high degree to melt a link of metal, held the attention of some of the investigators. ' Had it been closed, authorities agreed, the tragedy would have been averted. Bogg was held in technical custody until further investigations have been completed. Alternative Theories In addition to the steam -pipe thecry, authorities began their in- vestigation with two other ideas in mind as to how the films might have been ignited. Crossed Wives on the X-ray machines might have provided the spark, they believed, or some one might have been burn- ing rubbish in the near-by furnace and a spark have blown in, After the films began to burn, it ig believed, the entire stock explod- ed, and sent clouds of fumes rolling upward through the stairways ana ventilators. With the space bpv- tween the roof and the ceiling of the upper rooms, and the ventila- tors, full of the sickening yellow- jsh brown gas, the second and heaviest explosion oecurred. Men and women, suffocated dy the gas, dropped in the hallways, while others dragged themselvus oward windows and doors as the flames licked the woodwork and shot toward the top floor. Many reached the *stairways safely only to be crushed by the weight o1L falling bodies from behind. Dr. A. J. Pearse, county Coron- er, announced that blood tests he made from the three bodies indicat- ed that death was caused by inhala- tion of hydrocyanic acid gas and bromine gas, the blood showing heavy traces of both. Eight Doctors Die Eight doctors lost their lives, the last being Dr. John Phillips, native of Welland, Ont. internationally known specialist, and one of the founders of the Cleveland Clinic. He was in the building when tne catastrophe occurred, but walked home believing he had not been affected by the gas. He was taken ill toward evening and was rushed to a hospital, where a futile blood transfusion was made. The men and women who were in the building at the time of the explosion, in addition to the doc- tors and nurses, were there for es- amination. . Many of them were in waiting rooms, others were on examination tables, and still others were ais robing preparatory to entering ex- amination rooms. The clinic was Announcing ..
