James mentioned something about going to Hollywood. He said he thought
he could find work there for me in minor parts."

"And you turned that down?" gasped Sue.

"I certainly did. I'm no actress and I know it. Perhaps I could get by
for a time on my ability to do aviation scenes, but that wouldn't last
long and then I'd be looking for a job."

"But think of all the romance of going to Hollywood," Sue insisted.

"There wouldn't be much romance in going hungry," replied Jane. "I'm
satisfied."

"I think you're smart," put in Grace. "In Chicago the last trip, I
heard that with business picking up, the line was going to put on more
girls. That means Miss Comstock will need an assistant and I wouldn't
be a bit surprised if you were appointed."

"I'd like that if I could keep on flying," said Jane, "but why do you
think I have a chance?"

"Easy," smiled Grace. "For one thing, you're the best-known stewardess
on the line. You've got a pleasing personality, all of the girls like
you, and you certainly know your work. What more is needed?"

"Nothing," confessed Jane, "but your specifications don't fit me."

"Just wait and see," predicted Grace.

The motion picture company remained at Cheyenne the rest of the week,

members of the company at the airport.

"There go my hopes of a film career," smiled Sue a little ruefully, as
she watched the director, and the leading man and lady board a
westbound plane Sunday morning. "Guess I wasn't cut out for an actress
after all."

"But you're in the picture as an extra, like the rest of us," Alice
consoled her.

"We'll be lucky if they don't decide to eliminate the scenes we're in,"
said Grace cheerfully. "Of course I've written my folks all about the
picture and they'll need a microscope to find me."

During the next week word came out from Chicago that six more girls
were being recruited and would be sent to Cheyenne to take the training
course. Soon after that, Miss Comstock summoned Jane to her office.

"You've heard the service is to be enlarged?" she asked and Jane
nodded.

"It will mean considerable additional work in training these girls,
while I am supervising the regular routine," she went on. "I have asked
the company for an assistant and they have given me permission to
select one of the girls in the ranks." She paused and Jane's heart
leaped hopefully.

"I should like to have you help me," w
