White, county air raid warden. 5 -—V During 1941 approximately 700, 000 motorists eithei lost their keys or locked them inside the car and bad to call for special assistance. CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT As Tibby entered Wayne’s office ’ in response to" his summons, she recalled the first time she had gone there, and how frightened she had been, not only of losing her position because of the trick Steena had pulled in helping her self to Tibby’s uniform, but frightened of Wayne himself. She had heard so many rumors about him He had loomed such an im portant and forbidding figure. Nov; she was going to marry him, this man who was, in a way, still a stranger, an employer, for she did not know Wayne very well in com parison with the way she had known Tommy all her life. Cer tainly she felt like a humble em ploye as she came into his big, impressive office to find him seat ed as she had that first time, be hind his enormous mahogany des'k. He looked as frightening, too, his jaw set in a stem line, his eyes steel gray, his mind absorbed in the stacks of papers 6n his desk, as he gave curt instructions to a stenographer, who stood at atten tion, notebook in hand. It was several moments before he finished, to glance up and dis cover Tibby in the background, to dismiss the stenographer and mo tion Tibby to come on in. The steel of his eyes vanished instantly, but it had been there; the humorous, fond smile softened his handsome mouth. He took a long stride around the big desk to welcome her, but because of the stenogra pher still gathering papers an d notes, he gave her only a formal handshake. It seemed to Tibby that his man ner was the same as that other time, brusk, impatient, but maybe that was only how he appeared in these surroundings, or it might have come from not having seen him for a few days. He motioned her into a chair, seated himself near by. Not until the stenographer had left the room, closing the door carefully behind her, did he speak. Then he said, “Well, my dear, it’s good to see you. I’m glad you got my mes sage before you left on your flight. How are you feeling? You’re look ing as lovely as usual, but rather tired You’re not ill?” Tibby said she was feeling very well. She supposed she did look tired; she had not been sleeping well, as a matter of fact. Then there had been the shock she had just had this morning. She said, “Was it something important?” There must be some reason that he wished to see her. besides the desire just for that, after a lover’s absence. His lips twitched in a slight smile. “It’s important to me how you are,” he reminded he r. “Everything concerning you is im portant. The reason I sent for you was to prevent your going out on your schedule. That won’t be nec essary any more. Under the cir cumstances, I think it best for you to resign as one of the com pany’s hostesses.” “Resign!” Tibby could not keep the dismay out of her voice. “I don’t want to dismiss you!” His smile told her that he was re calling her first visit to this of fice as well as she. “It will look better for you to resign ” But she did not want to do that; she loved her work. Her face must have spoken for her—or again his uncanny way of reading her thoughts. He said, "I know how you feel, but, as my fiancee, you cannot continue as you are—you can see that, can’t you, my dear? There will be a good deal of gossip— you know how that is—and a good deal of curiosity. It will be much better for you simply to resign.” As his fiancee . . . yes, of course. That was what she wa s now, not an employe. She still felt much more like the latter, es pecially here in this big, formal room, with Wayne assuming again the place of a figurehead of the company She had not thought that she would have to give up h e r work the minute she became en gaged to him. That had been what Tommy bad wanted her to do, too, to give it up—this flying business, as he called it—to go home and wait for him, like a little lady. She supposed Wayne wanted her to wait now, like a lady, too. He did not want her to give up flying, however. “There is still the silver ship,” he reminded, "so you need not feel so badly. You may take it up any time you wish, al though, for a while, I prefer to be with you. Or at least to know when you are taking it up.” He pursed his lips now in a thoughtful line, drawing his dark brows together “The government may step in and have something to say about that, too. I’ve been in Washington on business too, in a way. Things took bad," he added seriously. Tibby knew he referred to the probability for war for America. If he had been to Washington on business that had to do with that, it might mean, as she had fore seen, that Wayne would go back into the Army, or at least offer his services in aviation in some capacity. He had been a flyer in the First World war. He said now, not giving her time to offer any comment, “You’re not wearing your ring!” She had been afraid he would notice that almost right away. She was glad she had tried it on and that she had that legitimate ex cuse to offer “It’s too large,” she explained He allowed her time to answer this. Too large and too magnificent, she might have added. His keen eyes searched her face. “That’s easily remedied. We’ll have it fitted right away. Did you like it, my dear?” bhe should have said right on that she did, but he hadn’t given her time for that. She could say truthfully that it was a. beautiful ring. “A magnificent ring,” she added, as that was the way she thought of it. Wayne appeared satisfied with that. "I thought only a pearl, the finest pearl I could buy, would do Eor you.” His eyes met hers, smil ing into them with the gentle amusement he reserved fof such a moment. Someone knocked im peratively at the door Wayne call ed a curt, “Sorry—cannot be dis turbed just now,” but that made Tibby see why he maintained his official, impersonal attitude. This interview, although of a personal nature, was taking place in his of fices, subject to numerous inter ruptions. The telephone jangled now—there were four on his desk —but Wayne did not take up a re ceiver. He must have instructed the switchboard operator not to ring it for a while. Tibby felt, as she had that first day, that she was taking up too much of his time. After having been away, if matters were bad in Washington, his time was val uable. She said, as she had that first day also, “I shouldn’t take up any more of your time, Wayne.” She would have risen to leave. He stopped her with almost the same words he had used before, too. “Not so fast, my dear! I AM busy; things have piled up, as they do if you take a minute out of town, but I certainly can spare YOU a few’ more minutes.” His eyes smiled into hers again, in the way only his eyes could when he undertook to be his most charm ing self, so that she relaxed and waited. “I told you I went home—on business, too,” he said. “I wanted to break the news to my family About us, I mean.. They took it very well. They want me to bring you up very soon. Next week-end if I can manage. That’s another reason, my dear, why we must attend to the ring immediately and why you must resign right off. You will most probably want to make a few preparations, too. . .some clothes, a new hat. . .the sort of things women always seem to think they need upon any provo cation.” He waved a vague hand to include , such feminine activities, but he got up now to go back to sit behind his desk Tibby saw that he draw a large book toward him, taking up a pen from a bronze elephant holder. | “I’m going to write you a check,” he said, writing even as he spoke, “to cover any such small neces sities.” “No, please!” Tibby protested. "I can’t let you do that!” 4 -V CHINESE FORCES HOLDING GRIMLY Defenders Are Desperately Resisting Japanese Be fore Kinhwa, Lanchi CHUNGKING, China, Saturday. May 30.— (JP) —Chinese soldiers desperately resisting repeated Japanese onslaughts are holding grimly to the important Chekiang province cities of Kinwha and Lan j chi, central news dispatches from j the front reported early today.

A central news dispatch filed at 8 p. m. last night claimed Kinhwa and Lanchi remained in Chinese hands after bloody fight ing in heavy rain all day yester day. 2. The Chinese high command announced the capture of more than 10 points on the outskirts of Ichang, Japanese-held stronghold on the Yangtze river above Han kow in Central China. 3.
