THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1929 EE E-A hE "The GOLDEN GIRL , INSTALMENT FIFTEEN Several months after her father's death, Solange Harper has a visit from stranger, Clif- ford Horton, He tells her that plans for an invention to furth- er aviation, over which Mr. Harper had worked for years, are valuable. Solange refuses to give him the plans, but calls in her two friends, Jerry Cor- 'bett and Fred France, aviators. S0-50, as she is known to the Mineola flying field personnel, Tune a lunchroom called the Crowsnest across the road from the landing field. She is in love with Jerry, who is en- gaged to Constance Terry. Constance's father is backing a nonstop flight to South Amer- jca with Jerry as pilot and Fred as navigator, Fred is in love with So-so and is teaching « her to navigate a plane. The Fruit of Years With Chloe's help, So-so sorted and dusted the contents of the wooden box and had the plans neat- ly arranged by the time Jerry and Fred arrilbved. They came in full of interest in what had happened, So- so told them briefly. "You should have seen Chloe pushing him out of the door," she concluded. "He was mad enough to commit murder, and I can't say that I plame him. I have an idea he will be back, that is, if he really believes these plans are worth something. Of course that may just have been a dodge to try to get me to pay him for promoting the in- vention, put it didn't sound that way." "If he's the same fellow the boys chased off the flying field, So-so, he's an ugly customer. Have you got a gun?" So-so laughed. 'No, and I would- n't use 'it if I had one. I'd just let Wolfang bite him, It was a good thing Wolfang was shut up in the kitchen. I think he'd have taken a good-sized bite out of our friend." "I'd let him come in if that fel- low Horton comes around again," Fred said uneasily. "I don't like the idea of this bird running in here with only you and Chloe here in the house." So-so laughed again. 'You need- n't worry about us, Chloe's a regul- ar army." 'Let's go over these plans, So- 80," Jerry suggested. They turned their attention to what had been Mr. Harper's life work. So-so had arranged the papers in order, from the first dates in 1910 up until within a few days of her father's death, Jerry and Fred bent over them. "I used to wish your father would Jet me seew hat he was working on." Fred said, "He was so much in earnest and he really did know a lot about aviation, that I always had an idea he'd get hold of some- thing practical some day." "He didn't like to be questioned, though," Jerry answered. "I tried to get him to give me an idea of what he was doing once, but he shut me up quickly." "Poor father, he would mever talk anything but generalities to any one about his invention, though I think these papers show he was definite enough in what he was try- ing to do. And that is another rea- son why I can't understand his telling this man Horton all about it." So-so studied the plan of an airplane instrument board, beauti- fully drawn and gcaled. Presently Jerry struck the taple By BARBARA WEBB with his fist, "By the Lord Harry, the old man did have an idea, look at this, Fred." He spread out a drawing of an airplane engine and went off into technicalities that be- wildered So-so, "And," he con- cluded," whether he has worked out the details properly nor not, he's got the right principle. I'm inclined to think that with only a little more work this invention could be made a big thing." "There isn't any doubt about it --only who's going to do the work?" Fred asked. "If it weren't for this flight I'd take a crack at it myself." . Jerry frowned. "That's right. We can't do anything about fit right now." J "It can wait," So-so said smil- Ing. "There's no hurry about it. I'll turn it over to you boys and we'll go shares on the profits if it ever pays anything." "I know what I'm going to do." Jerry declared. "I'm going to write to Mr, Terry and tell him about it. He's keen as mustard about aviation and if'there's anything to this the will know how to push it." "I don't like to do that," So-so protested. "Constance has done 80 much for me already." "Then here's your chance to do something for her," Jerry answe- ed. "I think Jerry is right, So-so," Fred told her. "If it really is a big thing Mr. Terry deserves at least the refusal of it." "I'm going to write to him to- night," Jerry went on. 'Maybe you'll get a trip to Florida out of this So-so. No kidding--I think it's important enough for you to take the papers down there if he's willing to look at them." "What a hurry you are In!" So- 80 laughed at his enthusiasm. . But in her heart she was pleased and happy, not only at the prospect of the vindication of her father's years of effort but also at Jerry's warm Interest. When they left she packed the paper back in the box and carried it up to her room. When several days had passed in which she heard nothing further from the man Hor- ton she dismissed him from her mind. She went up several times with Fred, studying the effect of the wind, learning to estimate drift and distance, growing more accur- ate In her reading of the instru- ments with each trip. Coming home late one afternoon she found a long telegram from Constance. "Wonderful about your father's invention. Bring the papers and cote down. here to Miami at once. Father has time to look at them and has a friend here who knows heaps about aviation. Please come right away. The trip will do you good and sométhing wonderful may come of it. I'm terribly bored.' Wire me when to expect you. Love, Constance." She showed the wire to Fred that night when he came in to see her for a few moments. "Of course you're going," he said. "I suppose I could. Chloe says she can run the Crowsnest. We're not very busy now. I hate to spend the money for the trip, and yet if it means a big chance for this invention to succeed, I suppose I should go." : "I think you should So-so. I wouldn't advise it, but Jerry and I have talked it over and we both think there's a hig idea there just waiting to be developed. Listen, I'll fly you down to Washington and you can take the train from there, how would you like that." ' "Fine, Fred." "I tried to get Jerry to fly you all the way down to Miami, but he says he can't take the time now. Constance would want him to stay a week at least--what was that?" There was a low moan from the kitchen, So-so rose and went to the door, "It's Wolfang. He hasn't been well for two or three days, he sleeps most of the time and every s0 often he gives a terrible groan as though he were in pain. I'm going to have a veterinary see him tomorrow." "Poor fellow. You ought to take care of him. right away, So- 50, They talked a little longer of their plans and So-so decided to leave in two days for Miami, tak- ing the papers with her. The fol- lowing day was a flurry of pack- ing giving Chloe final directions about the Crowsnest, and getting every thing shipshape for leaving. When night came So-s0 was almost too tired to drag herself to bed. She had taken Wolfang to the doc- tor who suggested that she leave him there for a few days' obser- vation. Chloe was snoring loudly in her downstairs bédroom and So- so dropped off to sleep almost im- mediately. In the night it seemed to her that some one was moving about in her room. ' She sat up to listen, heard nothing, then sank back to sleep again. In the morning Fred telephoned to say they would take off for Washington just after lunch. "That will get us there in time for dinner, then you can get the night train on down south." Fred came back from the Crows- nest at noon with her. "I'm already except for packing the plans. Do you think I should take every- thing?" ta "Every scrap." So0-s0 went to get them. Pres- ently Fred hearq her call his name. Something in her voice took him upstairs on a run. So-50 wag standing at the head of the stairway leading to her room. "They're gone, Fred, box and all!" Frantically they searched the house. The box had vanished. No trace of it was to be found. "It's been stolen," So-so said finally. "You see Wolfang had been sick and last night he wasn't here. In the night I. thought I heard some one in my room, but when I woke up and listened I didn't hear anything and thought I had been dreaming, so I went back to sleep. That man must have come in the night and taken them." . She shuddered. "We were a bunch of idiots to think a man of his ilk would let a thing like that rest," Fred said. '"He was just smart enough not to do anything more and let us for- get about him. I'm going to call Jerry and see what can be done. Horton can't be very far off. His offices are in New York and that's where he would operate from. 1 have an idea he counts on your not missing them for a while--he could not have known you were going away, Don't worry, So-so. I think we're going to get them back." Half an hour later Fred and Jerry, very determined, were on their way to New York in seach of the thief.
