one who wanted a two-day lift to the fork in the road could come along. "And make it snappy," he added. Carolyn looked at the girls, at Johnny, at Lin Wei — and shrugged her shoulders. "I guess we'd better go along," she said, quietly. As they all piled in, there were sudden tears in the eyes of old Tai Shen, the farmer's wife. She had fallen in love with Donald Duck. They were taking her daughter Tan Ying. Couldn't they leave Donald to her and her husband? Carolyn looked dubious. "Do you think it's safe — with the Japs coming?" Tai Shen looked astonished. "Who but wild animals would hurt such a small one?" she asked. Johnny spoke quietly. "Maybe it's better, Miss Brent. If we take Donald, we've got to take the cow." So it was decided, and among tears and farewells they were off. Jones and Carolyn rode in front, the others in back. As they started climbing the mountainous road, Carolyn leaned back, very tired. Several hours later she awoke. Reaching for her bag, she examined herself in the mirror. "Heavens! I look awful!" she cried, as she started applying lipstick. Jones stared at her. "You using lipstick is like a traffic cop powdering his nose!" "Oh, is that so!" Carolyn bristled. "Well, now that I think of it, I had a parrot like you once. The most obstinate, stubborn, bad-tempered bird I've ever seen. I tried everything sweet, but to no avail. However, I finally managed to cure him." "Yeah? How?" "I wrung his neck!" Carolyn looked at Jones slyly. He gave her a baleful glance. Suddenly she started to giggle. In spite of himself, Jones did the same, until soon they were laughing uproariously. As Carolyn caught Jones's eye, something in his expression made her turn away quickly. It made her feel warm and tingly inside. A strange feeling, she thought, for someone you — hate. IN the back of the truck, nineteen girls ' were trying to reason with Tan Ying. For hours she had been fighting something within herself. Now she was determined to fight it no longer. She was going home! The thought of her aged parents alone with only Donald Duck for companionship and comfort was too much. The girls saw the condition of the farm, didn't they? It was run down for want of strong, young hands. They had no son — only her! She had to go back. And the girls weren't to tell Miss Brent. She didn't want her disturbed. Before anyone could stop her, Tan Ying jumped off the truck. With tears in their eyes, the girls waved until the pathetic picture of Tan walking in the dusty road was out of sight. Up front Jones was saying, "Well, don't try to recruit me! The Japs have always been good business and you can't expect me to hate them for that. Matter of fact, I've got some pretty good Jap friends in Tokyo." Carolyn just looked at him as Johnny stuck his head through the canvas flap. "Hey, boss! There's a Jap plane in back of us — down the road a way." Carolyn cried urgently, "Stop the truck!" And to the occupants in the ; ^ar, "Everyone out! Get off the road! Scatter and lie down!" She turned to Jones. "You, too!" They threw themselves against the available rocks, which seemed to vibrate under the terrific impact of the roaring, screaming plane.
