' With All My love

(By Virginia Bower) (Continued)

Betty Crowell had been sobbing vhlently and now she struck out in a new burst of violence. claw, ing viciously at Steve Calridge's neck, throwing herself upon him in a frenzy. Steve turned. shielding his face with one arm while he held her off with the other.

"Betty, please." he said calmly. "Don't carry on like that." He forced an arm around her and pulled her close to him, not affec- tionately but only for the purpose of restraining her. His loathing of the girl could not have been more evident. "You and Hanley played a. dangerous and a terrible- game --and you lost. Try to show the same indifference to human life now than you showed before."

Clare's eyes turned to Eddie Franklin as Steve was speaking and an understanding passed be- tween them that needed no words for its expression. It Eddie had ever had suspici of Steve Cal- ridge, he didn't. have them now.

Burrows. the Calridge chauffeur, came in then. He had driven Steve and Betty out to the airport, ar- riving there almost at the instant that the crash had occurred. He'd been helping the firemen and the emergency squad from the hospit- al in extricating Clay Hanley's remains from the wreck that lay there on the concrete runway. He supported Clare on one side and Steve on the other as they walked to the car. Eddie Franklin stead- fastly refused to leave Just then. but he finally promised that he would call at the Cairidge place that evening. Steve beckoned to one of the hospital attendants out- side and told him to take Betty Crowell back to the hospital with

ythem, by force if necessary. and to

have Dr. Martin, the head of the staff, take care of her. "I imagine she ought to be kept under seda- tives for quite some time." he said. ”But you tell Doc that I'm putting her in his hand."

Clare herself, at Steve's insis- tence. took a sleeping powder when she got home and it was nearly 8 o'clock when she finally awoke. Colby brought her dinner upstairs and Steve sat with her while she ate.-Then he went down- stairs while she dressed, and when she came down a little later Eddie Franklin and Steve were together. "I was just telling Mr. Franklin." Steve said ”that he must get over the notion that the accident was his fault. I could feel just as guilty as he if I tried; but actually no one was at fault but Hanley himself. '1 took the plans Henley had sent to the bank and showed them to the Crandon outfit in New York and one of the experts said flatly that they were out of the question and he proved to me that the very first test of such plans would mean death for the pilot. That's why I came in on the early train instead of the evening one; i wanted Hanley to know about this at the first possible moment. or course I had no idea he was going 'to test the plane today.

"Incidentally, when I got to the office, I called home to talk to you, Clare. and tell you not to go any further with your flying lessons from Hanley. The Crandon people showed me pretty conclusive evi- dence that he and someon in my office-Betty crowell, of course- were responsible for that fatal crash at the Billet plant a year lago. Crandon is voluntarily divid- jing the contract with Billet, as a matter of fact, Just on that ac- count."

1-le hesitated a moment. then. staring at the fat cigar that he rolled between his fingers. Then ,he looked up at Clare. "Perhaps lyou and I could talk to Mrs. Cas- ywell about these plans that Roger drew up. Mr. Franklin tells me that she gave them to you. i thought when Ilanley came here that I might put up a plane fac- tory near the airport some day, and now I think we both have the design for an outstanding plane and an. outstanding man to oper- ate it." He turned then and won- dered out. of the room.

Eddie got up. a smile distorting his swollen face. ”l-lello. Clare." he said. .

"Hello. Eddie." The End. '

Beginning tomorrow: "The A!- fair at Thorpe -Lodge." a thrilling murder mystery.
