Paratroopcrs Maneuver
Parachutes to Landing
O
Highly trained and skilled are
the marine paratroopers. Their
exit from fast-moving ships must
follow lightning precision to avoid
"scattering" a unit.
While descending, the men not
only "steer" their chutes but also
control to a degree the speed of
their fall. By this manipulation a
unit can land within a small area,
and can often prevent landing in
water or in dangerous spots.

I THE STORY THUS FAR: Mary Suth
> rrland, an eastern girl. Is lured to Arl
! tona by the advertisement! ol the Wagon
j Wheel dude ranch, operated by Ma and
i Pa Burdan. She Is met at the station by
I I.en Henley, rodeo rider, who tells her
| that the Wagon Wheel has cone out ol
business. Leg takes her to Phoenix,
[ where she meets Leu's Aunt Marsaret
Maxwell. Hearing that the Wagon Wheel
| Ranch Is broke. Ham Henley Sr., I.en'i
' dad, purchased the Burdan notes Irom
the bank. He wants complete control,
j While at Phoenix Len enters the rodeo,
drawing a broncho known as Mad Hatter,
! toughest horse In the West. Ham Henley
| bets his son Len three to one that Len
! won't be able to stay on Mad Hatter.
CHAPTER V
I "You hear that, you scallawag,"
j the old man almost yelled. "Even
i strangers realize you been a dis
grace to the family." He smiled at
Mary with great appreciation of her
1 Bupport and held out his glass to
! clink with hers. "I'm not surprised.
Red-heads is always smart."
Mary thought Len Henley consid
| erably less exuberant than his fa
ther, who went on, his voice raised
, an octave under the stress of his
emotion. "The son of a gun breeds
back to my old man, Miss Suther
• land, and my pappy was the most
i contrary man that ever helped Ari
zona to statehood. If you asked
| nim nice to do something he'd bust
a hamestrap to do it, but if you
i give him an order he'd get rebel
lious right off.
The ladies donned their wraps
presently and the party motored out
I to the Phoenix country club in Ham
Henley's car. The orchestra was
playing as they entered the dining
' room, so Len appropriated Mary for
a dance while his father led Mrs.
, Maxwell to the table.
| "Well," he announced, as they
circled the small dance floor, "that's
i my old man, dinner clothes, cow
| man's fine boots, black sombrero
1 and his own tobacco and cigarette
J papers. I hope you'll like him."
i "I hope I shall. He requires know
\ Ing, however, although I have half
| ■ suspicion his bark is very much
; worse than his bite. I gathered that
j you haven't seen each other for a
1 long time."
"We don't travel the same roads,
Miss Sutherland."
"It's nice to think you'll meet fre
quently, now that you have decided
to buy the Wagon Wheel ranch." She
added, after a long pause, "Why not
| leave the Wade brothers to some
body else? I have a suspicion your
1 father is in a mood tonight to give
I you half his kingdom."
"But first he'll make me demon
strate I can manage it capably and
I profitably. So I think I'll glean
my experience on a job that I'll
boss; then, if there should arise
necessity for a good job of criticism
or scolding, I'll do it."
"I could wish you hadn't made
that bet with him, Don Leonardo."
"I could, too, but he asked for it
and I gave it to him, because there
was a certain malice behind his de
sire . . . Well, not malice, really,
but that hateful 'this-hurts-me-more
than-it-does-you' formula of father
hood in the woodshed. He thinks I'm
: conceited about my rough riding and
that it's his duty, as my father, to
take a modicum of that conceit out
: of me. Also, he'd like to wreck me
financially, because he thinks that
the older I grow and the poorer I
j become the easier it will be to break
j down my resolve never to enter his
! employ. Happiness means more to
| me than money greatly in excess of
| reasonable needs, so Pappy isn't go
i ing to slip the burden of his assets to
! me."
"I can't quarrel with that philoso
phy, Len."
I Her thoughts shifted abruptly. "I
I imagine had you been inspired this
| morning to buy the Wagon Wheel
ranch instead of this evening you
would not have risked a couple of
thousand dollars to gamble on your
self."
"That's the principal reason why
I decided to buy the ranch!"
"If one handicaps that horse on
his past performances, three to one
on him are fair odds. And he has al
ready won over you three times."
! "True, but I learned the secret of
his fighting style. Since then I've
t watched him unload fifty good men
j and I've noticed he never changes
J his technique. But tomorrow I'll
j ride that old champion to a squeal-
I ing finish. I'll not even permit the
pick-up men to take me off. I'm
going to ride Mad Hatter until his
heart breaks and he stands still and
says: 'Boy, you win.' "
"It must be very comforting," she
mused, "to possess that sort of self
confidence, to do all one's own think
ing and make all one's own plans.
My life runs in a groove, like the
ivory ball on a roulette wheel."
"But in the end," he reminded
her, "the ball always pops out of
the groove."
"I wish I had a job, Don Leo
nardo. I'd like to make some mon
ey for the fun of making it, to work
at a task because it is not an easy
one, to get it down and throttle it."
"Perhaps we have a small touch
of atavism here, Miss Sutherland."
"My great-grandmother walked
beside a covered wagon and punched
oxen from Springfield, Missouri, to
Sacramento, California. And she
bore my grandfather en route and
got herself two Indians with her
brother's Kentucky rifle after the In
dians had put so many arrows in
him he looked like a porcupine."
"You've been around a great deal
—I mean, you've seen more of what
people call life than I have, Miss
Sutherland—"
"Call me Mary, Len?"
"Thanks. I've been wanting to
but remembered the old adage that
familiarity breeds contempt and I
couldn't risk contempt from you.
Have you ever seen a case of love at
first sight?"
"I have seen what turned out to
be infatuation at first sight."
"Do you believe it's possible for
one to fall in love at first sight of
the love object?" Len asked.
"In diagnosing a disease doctors
often make the mistake of confusing
the symptoms; hence it's not sur
prising that the 6ymptoms of true
love and infatuation always confuse
the patient who will insist on being
his own doctor. Love is a profound
emotion and Infatuation is a halluci
nation."
"Well, when one feels all hippity
ho inside, when his feeling is one of
worshipfulness and admiration for
quality, when he'd swim a river full
of hungry crocodiles to fight three
world's champions on the farther
bank because they were in his way,
and if he was unhappy about it be
cause his circumstances indicated
he should keep his mouth shut—"
"Why, you old Pollyanna! Didn't
you know that true love like that is
only found in Victorian novels—that
"Call me Mary, Len?"
something sloppy and synthetic has
taken its place in the modern
world?"
"Not one hundred per cent. For
instance you could not possibly in
duce in any man anything sloppy
or synthetic. What worries me is
tliat—"
"The thing to do is ascertain what
•Jiis girl thinks of you, Don Leonar
do, and that's usually discovered
by asking."
"Who's talking about me? I'm dis
cussing a hypothetical case."
"I'm talking about you and you're
not a hypothetical case. Did the
girl fall in love with you at first
I sight?"
"I don't know and I don't dare
ask—for sundry sound reasons."
"I can appreciate them. Well,
I'll set your mind at ease. The girl
did fall in love with you at first
sight."
"How do you know?"
"She couldn't help it. The girl
who could help it would be a mon
strosity."
At that instant, somewhere in the
club house the fuse controlling the
light circuit in the dining room and
lounge blew out and they stood in
inky darkness. Of course the danc
ing ceased, although the trumpet
player, being a wag, immediately
played "Dancing In The Dark." Ami,
fully aware that he should not do
it; aware that he was getting him
self into deep water close to the
shore; aware only that he was no
longer responsible for his actions
which now appeared to be controlled
by an imp, Len Henley drew Mary
close to him, miraculously found her
face uplifted to his and kissed her
three times—breathlessly.
"Tell me," she whispered. "Ask
me."
"It isn't synthetic or sloppy," he
whispered back. "I'm a broken
man. I'll never be the same. I
love you. How about you?"
"Oh, darling, I'm so glad!"
Her lips came up again and met
his and he held her and she felt the
hard regular beat of his heart
against her breast. "Promise me
you'll never grow up," she whis
pered, "and I'll always love you and
never leave you."
"The Spirit of the Hnssyampn," he
said, "makes strong medicine,
doesn't he? Write your own ticket."
The lights came on and the music
started but in their hedrts was the
niusic of the spheres, the melody of
a love that had had a quick birth |
and might be destined to die as j
quickly, but with that contingency |
they were, happily, not concerned, j
for Time, the tomb-builder, also |
builds Castles in Spain!
When they returned to the table
Hamilton Henley gave them both
sharp looks, in which pride and curi
osity were mingled. He said to Ma- j
ry, "What business is your father j
in, young lady?" and murmured, I
"Tck! Tck! Tck!" when informed j
that her father had no occupation, '
unless that of killing time could be \
considered one.
He pondered this. "I should hava j
retired long ago myself," he an- j
nounced, "only I been afraid to. I i
wouldn't know what to do with my j
time. It takes a smarter man than \
I be to make his pile an' retire an' !
chuck the habit o' work. The art j
o' pluyin' has got to be learnt when
a feller's young, like Len."
"My father started learning it in I
his crib."
"I see. Your grandfather done it I
all, eh?"
"No, the drone strain in our fam
ily sprang from my great-grandfa- 1
ther, who went to California in
1841). He was a smart Yankee and
quickly discovered that gold was
something miners slaved and
starved to acquire in order that
they might enjoy brief periods of
riotous living. So my ancestor decid
ed to supply the riotous living and
engaged in the business of retailing
squirrel whisky. The price of a drink
was a pinch of gold-dust from a min
er's poke and great-grandfather
had an unusually large thumb and
forefinger. Eventually he employed
both hands and grabbed everything
in sight."
That tale drew a hearty laugh
from Hamilton Henley. "Well, you
ain't a stuck-up dude at any rate,"
he complimented her. "Len's great
grandfather was one o' the first set
tlers in Arizona an' while the grab
bin' was good an' he had the grab
bin' instinct the Indians didn't leave
him no time to grab. All he col
lected was the scelps o' Apaches—
twenty-eight of 'em, an' then got
himself killed resentin' an insult to
his jedgment o' scelps. A feller put
a piece in the paper claimin' three
o" the old man's scelps was Mexi
can."
It was Mary's turn to laugh. "It
would appear," she said, "that the
old Grecian spirit isn't frozen in
the Henley veins."
Hamilton Henley said to his son;
"This dude is good company, son,
smart as a fox and easy to look at,
but she won't do for you." He spoke
in Spanish—Mary was to discover
that a great many native Arizonans
are bi-lingual. "Be careful, son. I'd
have kissed her, too—at your age.
Remember, a man has to put on
some age before he gets boss sense.
You're just somethin' for her to
amuse herself with. I know because
you got a speck o' her war paint on
the corner of your mouth."
His son thanked him for this in
formation and casually wiped his
mouth.
Hamilton Henley spoke again to
his son in Spanish. "Not that I
blame you, son. It ain't often a
fuse blows out and leaves you in
the dark for half a minute with a
dashin' young woman like this one.
A feller's got to smother his oppor
tunities."
"I suggest you start getting ac
customed to her now, father, be
cause I'm liable to marry her in
spite of hell and high water."
"You would," Ham Henley re
plied. "Trust you to make a fool of
yourself. And after she's lived with
you about a year she'll tell you East
is East and West is West, an' leave
you fiat, takin' the baby with her."
"What I have I hold. If she leaves
me it will be my fault and I'll take
it on the chin. I'll not be embit
tered—like you."
Ham Henley turned to Mary.
I "What brought you boundin' out to
Arizona?"
"1 thought a change would do me
good. Mother's in Europe and fa
ther's b:g game shooting in British
East Africa."
Hamilton Henley thought; "She
wants a change o' scene an' a
ciiange o* men admirers. I knew
she was dangerous. Of course she
kissed my son when the lights went
out. Her kind ain't got no reserve.
They help themselves to whatever
they want." Aloud he asked, "Can
you cook?"
"Certainly not."
"Suppose you married a feller
j that couldn't alford to hire a cook
i for you?"
| Margaret Maxwell noticed that
I Len appeared to be having difficulty
' subduing some slight internal dis
turbance. She did not speak Span
ish and she did not know how this,
j which her woman's intuition warned
' her was an undeclared war, had
started. However, she decided to
find out, so to that end said, "Len,
I'm not so old and still in the knees
I wouldn't enjoy another dance with
you." Then she added. "Suppose we
leave these two to get better ac
quainted."
Out on the dance floor with Len
she said: "I'm not color-blind, dear,
and neither is your father. That
adorable girl kissed you."
"Half a dozen times," he con
fessed with huge satislaction. "I
slipped out and gave the colored bar
tender an honorarium to pull the
electric switch for thirty seconds.''
