THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1929 "The GOLDEN GIRL INSTALMENT TWENTY-EIGHT Jerry Corbett, pilot, and Fred France, navigator of the Golden Girl, face disaster just as their flight from Mineola, L. L, to Rio de Janeiro is near- ing its end. Fred whose heart is ailing, has fainted. But aboard the plane is a stow- away, Solange Harper, whom everyone knows as So-so. She has been taught the rudiments of airplane navigation by Fred and has hidden aboard the plane after she learned of Fred's condition. She is in love with Jerry, but hag con- sented to marry Fred in an ef- fort to have him abandon the flight. Jerry {is engaged to Constance Terry, who has ad- mitted to her friend, Clayton Bobbins, that she and Jerry are not really in love with one another. So-so Navigator So-s0 tried again. "Jerry," she alled more loudly. Still he did not hear her, but con- tinued to operate the Golden Girl with one hand while he shook Fred desperately with the other. She dared mot touch him for fear of startling him into losing control of the plane, which was now flying low. Stooping, close to his ear she shouted, "Climb." He obeyed her automatically, thinking, he told her afterward, that Fred had spoken So-s0 took Fred by the shoulders, her hand toucheq Jerry's and for one crazy moment they looked at each other. Jerry's mouth opened. "It's So-so--I1 stowed away--T'll drag Fred back. Don't move. Keep her going, I'll manage." 'With shaking hands Jerry obeyed while So-so summoning all her strength dragged Fred from his seat to the floor of the fuselage. Disposing him there she leaned weakly against the side of the cab- in to gather strength for her next move. Some how she managed to get a, discarded flying suit under his head and to force some coffee between his lips. She could feel his pulse beating weakly and knew that shortly he would recover con- sciousness. Believed at this and thinking only of the safety of the Golden Girl now she shifted herself into Fred's place before the instruments. Jerry did not look at her. "We're off our course," he cried. "Can you get us hack?" Concentrating grimly on the task before her she read the Instruments consulted the charts, gave Jerry the directions, turning occasionally to make sure that Fred was still breathing. "Are you gare?" Jerry called By BARBARA WEBB She nodded. His lips formed the words, "Tell me." 80-80 could not speak. Seizing a pencil she wrote, "Fred--heart trouble--I knew about it. He wouldn't tell you. Tried to make him, Failed. Came along--stowed away last night--sorry--"' Jerry read the note. With his right hand he answered. "Take controls? Keep her straight?" So-so nodded again and changed places wth hm. He looked at the course she had set, compared it with the map, read the instruments again, "Carry on," he shouted. "Going to look at Fred." He scrambled back to fuselage where So-so knew he was working over the still unconscious man. He found the little emergency flask of brandy and made Fred swallow some. Gasping, struggling for con- 1 ss, Fred d hig eyes. "Damned sorry--" he muttered. "Shut up. Don't talk. So-so's here. Stowed away last night. Ac- counts for difficult take-off. Keep quiet and rest We'll manage." Fred gave a long sigh. "Good girl, So-s0," he said drowsily; all his faculties lulling him to sleep after the terrific strain. "So-so-- loves--you--Jerry--knew it all the time--" his eyes closed again and Jerry, watching him closely, decid- ed that he had fallen into a sleep of natural exhaustion and was in no danger for the present. back to instruments. Check course again. Give me directions." So-s0 moved over and obeyed. "Land soon," she said after consult- ing the map. "Eat something," "Food behind you." Gratefully So-so reached for an orange, felt its juice trickle down her dry throat. She did not feel hungry now, but it seemed to her that she would have given anything for a glass of water, Jerry grinned at her when she finished the orange. "Crazy," he said, "Crazy girl--why?" So-so shook her head, "I don't know." But Jerry persisted. Write it!" So-s0 took the pencil and tried to concentrate on what she was writing, "Hunch--worry. Didn't matter ubout me, no one to care. Felt foolish after you started --won- dered what you'd do with me in Rio. Just a hunch." Jerry frowned after reading her answer. "Fred?" he questioned. So-s0 tried to now her head. But the motion would not come. Lying seemed so useless here in the air, away from the earth, alone with Jerry. "Tell me." Jerry called. "Why? Jerry was urging her when ghe had given him the course. again, He touched So-so's shoulder, "Go "Can't. Hunch," she answered him stubbornly. Jerry turned back to his con- trols. He was pewildered and yet it seemed quite natural for So-so to be here, helping him pilot the Gold- en Girl, ePrhaps it was a dream and he would wake presently to find that they hadn't even started, that he was asleep, dreaming this fantastic thing, But the noise of the Golden Girl was real enough, and So-so was certainly solid flesh, So-sd and the man who lay sleeping on the floor of the fuselage. Fred's broken words, spoken when fatigue and exhaustion had removed every inhibition--*'So-s0 loves you." It couldn't be. There was Connie. Connie, queer that he should think of her now for the first time, She was the dream. Did she know what So-so had done? So-so was the reality in this crazy quilt of a flight. He would try again to get an explanation from So-s0. "Why -- did--you -- come?" he paused between each word, hoping to read the truth from the averted face. But she shook her head and re- mained silent. Jerry gave it up. When they landed perhaps he could untangle it all. Suppose what Fred said was true. With half of his fa- culties on the management of the Golden Girl, the other half wrestled with this problem. Memories of So-s0 overwhelmed him. He re- membered her first as a long-legged girl of 16, helping her father start the Chrownsnest, giggling at jokes of the pilots at the then rather straggling flying field. He had seen her grow Into a graceful young woman, gradually taking over the entire work of the lunchroom, shielding her father from those who did not believe in his work. He had taught her to fly, had introduced her to Connie. had teased her, told her his trou- blues, sympathized with Fred when she failed to.return Fred's love, had taken her for granted through five years of intimacy, and here she was beside him in the supreme ad- venture of h'; life so far. She was eorking at the instru- ments now. Thank heaven Fred had taught her to read them, train- ed her in navigation until he had boasted she was as "good a man as he was' at it. 'Her crazy, mad hunch will probably save the flight," Jerry thought, Then he snapped to attention, a cylinder was missing, an engine was complaining, So-so was saying something to him, "fuel nearly gone --must be a leak somewhere." To Jerry's experienced ears the complaining of the engines grew more serious, Something was wrong, very wrong--and the end of the flight not yet in sight. (To Be Continued Tomorrow) EX-LEPER IS FREE MAN AGAIN Victoria, B.C., June 14.--Smil- ing and happy after nine yeurs isolation on a small island off the Vancouver coast with only a few other sufferers for company, Lum Mah Hing, ex-leper, walked up the gang-plank of the Liner President McKinley, a free man again, and bound home for China.

FAMOUS TRACK STAR ONCE AN INVALID Athletic Exercise Brought Him Back To Health Columbus, Ohio, June 13.--George Sidney Simpson, Ohio State's dark- haired flash of the cinder path, was almost an invalid and under a nurse's care for several years when a youngster. Today he's the greatest track star his school has known, and he may become one of the world's matching records with Paddock, Locke, Borah and other famous sprinters, He can thank Papa Simpson for his fleet feet. He realized the worth of exercise in the fresh air for his sick boy and bought George every kind of athletic apparatus he could find--baseball equipment, tennis rac. quets, golf clubs, basket balls--and made him use them. George won back his health and with that victory came an unflagging interest in athletics, "When you'd think he'd be all tired out, playing all day, George would be out playing basket ball in the evenings with his chums," re- calls his father, G. M. Simpson, a wholesale milliner here, "But now he always is careful to get plenty of rest before a big race and for two or three nights before he is to run he goes to bed at 9.30," he chuckled, remembering, perhaps, his youthful reluctance to desert play for slumber, "He's what I could ' call a good trainer, He observes all the rules without any supervision, "Sometimes our table looks rather slim at home, because his mother and I eat the same things he does while he is training.

FOND OF THEIR BATHTUBS Millions of Feet of Timber Go From British Col- umbia Yearly Vancouver, B.C, June 14, -- Mil- lions of feet of British Columbia lumber are being used each year in Japan in the manufacture of bath- tubs, according to a Vancouver man who recently visited the Orient with a view to the disposal of Canadian lumber. "The Japanese," he stated, "are de- voted to bathing as a sort of past- time. The Japanese who does not take a bath once or twice daily is a rare individual. Every house, even the smallest cottage, possesses a bath of some sort. They use 156, expanse of Lake Superior, the largest body of fresh water in the world. You can take it as a trip in itself or you can take it as a break in your rail journey across the continent. It carries you from Port McNicoll to the Head of the Lakes at the Twin Cities. The great white ships of the Canadian Pacific speed along with all the swift grace of gulls that circle and dip at the mast heads or perch and flutter above the deck rails. Perfection of service adds a last pleasing touch to the meals, the comfort of the staterooms and the social affairs on deck and below. Since the level of Lake Superior is 21 feet higher than that of Lake Huron the Sault Ste. Marie lock has been constructed and the Canadian Ship Canal to join up the two lakes. This remarkable engineering work is one of the sights of the voyage, Three fine ships make the trip weekly for the Canadian Pacific, the '"Keewatin,"' "Assiniboia," and "Manitoba," two from Port McNicol and one from Owen Sound, with the same number of eastward sailings from the Twin Cities.

Speaking of his expedition's most .| recent meteorological observations on the Asiatic plateau, Dr. Hedin an- nounced that seven fixed meteoro- logical stations had been established in Sin-kiang, where observations are made every hour with the object of gathering climatic data. Hundreds of pilot balloons filled with hydro- genic gas had been sent up approxi- mately twelve miles in the air, the idea being to study distribution of air on the surface of the hemisphere. The Trans-Himalayas, a parallel range of mountains with the Hima- layas of India, was discovered and named by Dr. Hedin. The scientific expedition of which Dr. Hedin is the head, left Peking in May, 1927, and unlike Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews; the United States explorer who used automobiles, Dr. | Hedin's party relied on camels en- tirely.
