~ Novelized From The Paramount Picture
of The Same Name
Jack Gordon, crack western division air pilot, comes to New York to
fly a ship from Salt Lake City to San Francisco. He balks but changes
his mind when he sees pretty Felice
He tries hard to win the attentions

of Felice but she treats him coldly.
from a menacing foreigner, Count
Stephani. His suspicions that Felice is a jewel thief are dissipated when
she tells him that she is a society heiress.
; CHAPTER IV.
Jack had an awful job shooing the blonde away and explaining to Felice
that she was just a “chance acquaintance” who really meant nothing in his
young life. He had only partially succeeded when Ruth, the new stewardess for
the westward flight, rushed up to report that Master Waldemar Pitt, III had
disappeared. The pilot started a desperate last-minute search and finally located
the boy stuffing his pockets with chocolate bars as he fed nickels by the hands-
ful into an automatic vending machine.
The two reached the plane just as
“Gimme some bananas and cream
it was ready to take off and found and some hot cakes and some waffles
that the stewardess had already tucked |
the other passengers under their blan-
kets in order that they might obtain a
few hours more sleep.
“Who's the new customer?” he ask-
ed, nodding toward a seat which pre-
viously had been unoccupied.
“He's for San Francisco,” ensien]
Ruth. “He’s got a funyy name—wait al
minute.” She ran her finger down the
passenger list. “It’s Count Gregorie
Stephani.” As she spoke the Count,
who had muffled his face in the blan-
ket, sat up and grinned sardonically |
at Jack. {
“How did he get here?” exploded
the pilo. !
“A new way,” yawned the steward-
ess. “He just sat down and we built
the plane round him.”
“The cannon.” Jack twiddled his fin-
gers suggestively, then, as Stephani
feigned surprise, continued. “Yeah, the
cannon—cap pistol—gun. I want it. If
I don’t get it, you'll ride as far as
Omaha and no farther.”
Sourly the Count handed over his
automatic. Jack took it and discovered !
with a frown that it was loaded once|
more.
“Say, what is this, a game?’ he
growled as he opened the door of the
plane a crack and tossed the weapon
into the night.
“Maybe it’s none of my business,”
whispered Palmer as Jack resumed his
seat, “but who is that guy that got on |
at Chicago.”
‘His name’s Stephani.” The
pulled a blanket over himself.
“How come he had a gun?” Palmer's
hard face grew harder.
“On account they told bim there
were Indians at Omaha,” yawned Jack.
Then, a grin of self-satisfaction on his
face, he glanced at Felice. She was
cuddled under her blankets, fast asleep.
Soon her admirer drifted off to plea-
sant dreams also,
The sun was up when he awoke.
Again his first thought was of Felice.
pilot
| She was awake and, her beauty case
on her makeup. She glanced at Jack
on her makelp. She glanced at Jack
thoughtfully, then at Stephani. It
might be well, she was thinking, to
have the pilot on her side. She turned
back to Jack and smiled.
“Have a nice nap?’ she inquired.
“Yeah—sure.” He was pleased as
Punch.
“I don’t have to ask
weather—it looks lovely.”
“While we're on the subject of look-
ing lovely,” Jack said as he stared at
her greedily. “How do you do it—so
early and at such an altitude?”
It was breakfast time when they
landed at Omaha. Wialdemar, of course,
was first at the lunch counter.

As Jack started. to order, Palmer
sat down on the stool beside him.
“Your Indian-killer over there,” he
inquired,” nodding toward Stephani:
“He's not a Dick, is he?” :
“Nope, he’s not a Dick.” The pilot
studied the other thoughtfully.
“I imagine most of the pessengers
are usually old customers.” Palmer was
trying his best to seem off-hand. “That

so at ease in a plane. Has he ever tak-
en this trip before?”
“He might have.” Jack was enjoying
the game. “I've never seen him.”
“Well, I'll have some coffee and
doughnuts,” laughed his neighbor.
“Anything, I guess to break the mon-
otony of the trip.”
“What a big nose you have, grand-
mother,” Jack muttered to himself.
“May I speak to you a minute,” Fe-
lice said as they left the lunchroon. “I
—I hate to bother you, but—well, I
need a little help.” She drew a deep
breath like some one preparing for a
ten dollar touch, then rushed on. “I
want to find out for sure if a certain

toward the telegraph office almost at
ta run, “What's the girl’s name?”
“I don’t know”
“You don’t know?’ He stopped dead
in his tracks.
“I mean I don’t what name she's
traveling under. I'm sure she isn’t us-
ing her.own.”
“Well, you know what she looks like.
‘We'll make it all right.”
At the telegrahp office they concoct-
ed a message which read:

“Pop is brother Mason, Elk Eagle or
Moose to every brakeman on the Salt
Lake Division,” Jack explained. “He'll
find her. That scar cinches it. You
didn’t eat a bite of breakfast,” he con-
tinued. “How about snatching some
toast and coffee before we leave?’
“Absolutely,” Felice smiled.
“But last night you said you didn’t
drink coffee.” -
“That was last night.”
- “Hello, dearie,” beamed the waitress
archly when they returned to the
lunchroom. “You stayin’ over tonight?”
Jack ignored her, so she slopped his
coffee over and burned his toast.
“All right—what’s her real name?”
snapped the pilot when he caught
Felice smiling at his exchange.
“Don’t you know?” She glanced after
the waitress in astonishment.
“No, no,” he growled. “I mean the
lady on the train.” .
“It isn’t any of your business,” she
surveyed him, her eyes suddenly cool.
“But her name is Katherine Rollins.
She’s my sister.”
“Of course, it’s none of my business,
but he—that Sephani—doesn’t seem
like a very—well—like a—very—"
“He isn't.” )
“But why should a nice girl like you

“It still isn’t any of your business,”
she réplied pleasantly as she sipped
her coffee.
