PAGE TEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1929 The GOLDEN GIRL INSTALMENT SIXTEEN Important papers have been stolen from Solange Harper. They were the life work of her father, now dead, and contain plans for an invention to fur- ther aviation. Her two friends, Jerry Harper and Fred France both pilots, have gone to try to recover: them for her. Sol- ange, who is generally known 'as So-so, supports herself by running a lunchroom. across the road from the Mineola flying field. For a long time 'ghe has been in love with Jerry, who is now engaged to Constance Terry. 1t is Con-. stance's father who is backing . a nonstop flight to South Am- erica which Jerry and Fred France, Jerry's pal, are plan- ning to make. Fred is hope- lessly in love with So-so. } Recovery : It was a very determined pair of friends that got off the train in the Pennsylvania station that after- noon and started for the office of Mr. Clifford Horton. "I only nope he hasn't given us a fake address," Fred said. "1 doubt it. My hunch is that he got ahold of those papers mosly to see if théy really were valuable. He's probably planning to get some expert to look them over. He counts on So-so's not finding out they were stolen until he has time to do that... He can have them cop- jed and give her back the originals for that matter. Now when we get there you let me do the talk- ing. I have a plan to smoke that baby out in the: oper and all you need to do is to sepak when you're spoken to." Fred agreed. He nodded to Jer- ry when they reached the address and were told by the office girl that Mr. Horton weuld see them in a few minutes. "You win the first said. 3 'When they went into the office of the promoter, Jerry's usually confident and staight-forward man- ner dropped from his shoulders and he assumed a meek and rather mournful air, ! "We're two fliers out of a job, Mr. Horton," he said. "We saw your ad saying you were interested in flying and we thought maybe you could help us to a job. Mr. Horton laughed jovially. "That's a good one. I couldn't give a job to a trained flea. But let's hear your story, maybe I'll know of somebody else that could 'help you. I've got lots of friends in the flying game." "Well, we've been flying for Curtiss, but we got the can last week trouble with the hoss out there, and we hate to give it up, we've besn flying for a long time. Trouble is when you get in wrong with Curtiss you haven't © much chance any nlace else. They freeze you out cold." Horton cogitated, leaning back in his swivel chair and blowing cigar smoke at the ceiling. "Can't think of a thing Just now," he said. "Now if you were mechanics--" "Say we can take a ship apart and make it talk." Jerry boasted; "can't we, Fred?" "You bet." "You can?" Horton them. 'Well, say now, guess," he stared at there is By BARBARA WEBB something you might do for me. I got a lot of cranks in know; fellas that think stand the world on its their inventions. I got ome old pird that's brought me in a of stuff that he claims is going to turn aviation upside down. Might be something in it, and might not. Do you suppose you could tell any thing about this idea of his?" "We might, but what'll you pay us for a job like this?" i Jerry kicked Fred, who had started forward eagerly at the men- tion of plans: "Oh, you ought to give me a re- port inside of a week. I'll give you $25 for the job." "Nothing doing," Jerry 'rose to "We . couldn't eat on that much." "Not so fast, how much would you want?" "A hundred dollars, at the very least." "1'nn give you fifty." Jerry shook his head, "Couldn't do it. But say, I'll tell you what, You show us this stuff now. Then if it looks like it5s worth anything you pay us the hundred. If we can see that it's no good, we'll tell you so and charge you nothing for our advice. That suit you Fred?" Fred nodded, "Yep. We ought to be able to tell in a once-over whether there's anything to it or not." Horton hesitated, then greed got the better of him. 'Done. But mind now, you give me an honest answer." '"Absolutely," Jerry agreed. Horton left the room and they could see * him through the half open door working at the combina- tion of the safe. Presently he re- turned with a mass of papers which Jerry and Fred had examined only a few evenings before in So-so's house. Horton spread them out on his desk and watched while Fred and Jerry bent over them. 'Is this everything?" Jerry ask- they can tail with ed. "There seems to be something missing right in here--see?"" Fred indicated two dates, far. apart and on plans dealing with two different subjects. "He starts the design here and then doesn't give us the details working up to the later plan." Horton chuckled. "I see you know your business, young fellow," he said. "I held out some of the stuff just to see if you'd catch on. I'll get it." He went back to the safe and re- turned in a few minutes with the rest of the plans. Jerry added them to the papers already spread out on the desk, studied them for a moment, then gathered them into a neat bundle. '"Are you sure this is every- thing?" he asked pleasantly, rising and facing Horton across the desk. "That's everything he brought me." "Then I think," said Jerry slow- ly, "then I think that we shall just take these back to Miss Solange Harper who, oddly enough, had them stolen from her home in Mineola last night." Horton's face grew an ugly red. "No you don't," he shouted, "you dirty--"" Jerry calmly snapped a rubber band around the plans. "Don't get excited. It's bad business for the complexion--terribly red, isn't he, Fred." Fred grinned, "Most unbecom- here you} TH ing color," he agreed. Mr. Horton turned purple, shout- ed a stream of bad language and came round his desk at Fred and Jefry. Fred caught him neatly by one arm while Jerry made for the door with the plans. A*Not go fast.' ' Fred advised. "And another bellow out of you and we'll ask the police in--here, stbp that." Horton was attempting some slanderous . remarks about S0-so's double crossing him. , "Get him down and sit:én him while T muss hig face up," Jerry suggested. | Fred threw the man to the floor where he lay begging them not to Hurt him. "Wash your hands, freddy dear." Jerry said from the oorway. 'Mother has told you so many times not to play in the dirt." | Fred joined Jerry and together they bowed to the office girl who as standing frightened behind her esk, not daring to go to the aid of her employer. "Help him up, sister, he won't bite now," Fred said jauntily, then the doar closed behind the two friends who chuckled together as they went down in the elevator. "That was a swell plan." Fred said admiringly. "Funny the old fool didn't smell a rat though." "That kind always gets so greedy when a good thing is in sight that they overreach themselves. Well, let's phone the good news to So- 50." 4 They called her from the sta- tion and promised to tell her the whole story as son ag they got back to Mineola. "Drive my car into the station," Fred told her. "We expect a brass band and a welcoming committee, too." ' So-so met them, overjoyed at their success, full of admiration for their cleverness in outwitting Hor- ton. "It almost scares me to carry this stuff with me down to Flor- ida," she said. "You won't need to worry for the next few days anyway." Jerry assured her. 'Horton may try later to get some one to do some more dirty work--I'm ' not even sure now that he actually tool: the stuff himself, put he'll keep quiet for a few days and, you can get away tomorrow." Chloe insisted on sleeping with a gun, borrowed from Fred, at her side that night. Twice So-so heard her prowling around and fu the morning Chloe boasted of how she had been ready to "ict the day- lights" into any one who attempted to enter the Harper home that night. It was non when So-so shooi hands with Jerry, fasténed on he: helmet and took off with Freq fo. Washingtan. "Don't come buck without a for tune," Jerry shtouted afer het. So-sp waved her hand ang tool with her that plcture of Jerry hands cupped to carry his voice shouting good wishes io her. A her side Fred was congratulating himself on having Zc-sn alone fron noon until her train !2f! for Miam that night. "Mighty happy?' he sald, turn: ing to look at her. "Mighty happy," So-s0 answerec smiling, ' : But each of them was happy fo a very different reason.
