ent on Miss Comstock and Jane
felt her face flushing. "Your salary will be advanced to $140 a month,
but at present I would prefer that none of the other girls know about
this salary arrangement. What do you think about it?"

"I'm delighted," said Jane. "Of course I'll be glad to do anything that
I can, but I don't want to go out of active flying altogether."

"You won't," promised the chief stewardess. "After these girls are
trained, you'll go back on the _Coast to Coast_. I'm going to take you
off regular assignment next Sunday for the girls will arrive early
Monday morning. I shall plan to turn over most of the work in the
classroom and the commissary to you."

When Jane told her companions of the good news, they were almost as

"I wonder who is going to get your place on the _Coast to Coast?_"

troublemakers, for after the departure of Mattie Clark, the routine had
been pleasant and they wanted to keep things that way. None of the new
girls appeared to be inclined toward a "know-it-all" attitude, for
which Jane was grateful.

Miss Comstock introduced her and turned over the routine of helping the
girls find rooms. Jane knew Cheyenne so well by now, that she was in an
excellent position to advise them, and immediately after lunch they
plunged into the routine of classes, which was to prepare the newcomers
for permanent positions in the service.

The girls were eager and alert and Jane found the class work pleasant.
There was nothing of the nervousness and drudgery about it that she had
feared.

When it came time for Miss Comstock to put the girls through the final
examinations, they passed with flying colors, much to the credit of
their young instructor.

Some weeks later big news sped along the line. New planes were being
made in the company's plant at
