THIRD INSTALMENT j
Monty Wallace has just arrived in j
California, having broken the East-j
West cross country airplane record, j
Natalie Wade, mistaken by him for a j
newspaper reporter, writes the ex- j
elusive account of Monty’s arrival and
succeeds in securing a trial job with
a paper in exchange for the story.
Natalie becomes attached to Monty.
* * *
Mont was predatory; there was no
denying that. If he loved at all it
was with a man’s love that lived on
ly for instants, for episodes of the
sort he had sought the night before.
Even now, Natalie had no doubt, he
was weighing first his chances of suc
cess with one girl and then with the
other.
And honestly as she could, she
tried to estimate those chances for
herself. For her own part, she knew
she was playing with fire. She 'was
fighting the age-old woman’s fight
without the alliance of her own heart.
There would be times, she knew,
when something within would trick
her. Always there would be some
part of her that would hold out arms
•of surrender to Mont Wallace.
But at the last, she was sure of her
own victory. Reason and breeding
were strong anchors and in them she
had full confidence so long as she did
not try them too far.
As for Sunny Marion, Natalie was
i. not sure. There was force in the girl
hut in a measure it was the force ol
the spoiled darling. Against the
yearnings of her own heart, she felt,
Sunny would not be strong, 'lhere
was not in her the power to bring
up, reason as an ally, if Natalie read
the girl aright.
And with this decision she found
a new fear within herself. For if she
could see these things, as she thought
she could, might not the same be ap
parent to Mont Wallace?
He might not be clever at reading
■character, but some man instinct in
him must ' surely tell him that the
blond character was a possible will
ing victim. That instinct had slyly

would not hold back in dealing with
the younger girl,
.There was, she thought, only the
Single hope that Sunny’s ego would
.stand proof against her love. If she
•were sufficiently spoiled and self
centered, she might stand out against
. the ardent Mont. But that would
mean she did not love him deeply,
aiid this, on account of her own ad
oration for him, seemed utterly im
possible. ,>
This was as far as reason would
let her go. Suddenly her love surged
up within her so strongly that jeal
ousy would not be held back. After
all, the other girl was not perfection.
Her hair had been so bleached by
the sun that there were shadows in
it of darker texture. The wave in it
was sufficient for beauty but it was
not the equal of her own. Sunny took
advantage of the lack by drawing the
ash-blond hair rather severely back.
It was becoming, but no more so than

she thought, and there was‘at least, pie ever know,"
the chance that her beauty would
fade early,
One by one she went over Sunny’s
features in search of flaws but when*

This much at least, was honest, she
thought. Moreover It was intelligent
to recognize the strength of the en
emy.
It was to be a battle between these
two at best. Perhaps there were
many others to take part in the en
gagement. But foes, she and 'Sunny

finally left Natalie for the most part
with Jimmy and Sunny twosing with
Mont Wallace.
Natalie had beaten down "her jeal
ousy so that she was now well satis
fied with the aiTangement most of
the time, for her live intelligence told
her that Monty could not easily for
get her even in the flattering com
pany of Sunny Marion.
Jimmy treated her, generally, on
these evenings as he did during the
day when they were much together
at their work. It was not till one ev
ening when dinner was delayed and
there were too many rounds of cock
tails that a new element entered the
situation.

suddenly found in the deeper reshe

for the girl.
And now suddenly the first test
came between them, for Mont was
speaking*.
"Let’s all go to the lighthouse place
and dance. Can’t we find a fourth?”
Very quickly the quick-witted Sun
ny turned to Natalie.

“I know someone you’ll adore. He’s

It was the first time she had used
Wallace’s first name but surely kisses
carried title to its familiar use.
Sunny accepted the suggestion.
“You mean your photographer? Of
course. I think he’s adorable.”
Natalie was a little uncertain how
she had come off in the brief ex
change.
.“Be careful of your secrets when

,-----------------------------------------
one or two stiff drinks before setting
out, Monty had heen delayed by a
business conference where highballs
tended to speed negotiations and, for
the first time, Natalie saw that he was
pot quite himself,
It was a mad drive along the moun
tain roads with Monty at the wheel
of Sunny's car. But they arrived safe
ly and both girls, slightly shaken by
the perils of the trip, were persuaded
to steady their nerves with cocktails.
They had missed their reservations
and were forced to wait until a table
was cleared so that the huge shaker
was filled and emptied more than
once before they took their places.
Jimmy held his drink easily, becom
ing even more talkative than usual
but steady of hand and clear of eye.
Mont Wallace, on the '-other hand,
grew moody and intense. Chiefly the
drink had served merely to lighten
the dull hurt in Natalie’s heart so
that she felt relaxed and content, but
Sunny was very gay and noisy,
With dinner and the liquers follow
ing, Jimmy grew sentimental and
Monty a little quarrelsome, so that
there was an edge to his banter,
which was directed mostly at Sunny.
At each sally the girl screamed with
laughter, apparently delighted at his
abuse.
“Leave me alone, pest,” he told her
finally, “Come on, Nat, Let’s dance."
He caught Natalie by the hand and
drew her onto the* dance floor. The
girl realized at once that there was
something imminent between them.
He held her a little more tightly than
usual and with the exertion of the
dancing she presently found- herself
trembling so that she could hardly
follow the music. •J
“I’m sorry,” she whispered when
she missed a change in his step.
“Never mind,” he told her bursque-
ly. “What do we care how we dance?
I’m still mad about you. I wish
could really care about me,”
Tears came into the girl’s eyes

“No
catch in her voice,
love you more than I do. Some day
—some day I think you will forget
your madness and bring me love in
stead.”
“What do you want?” he flared.
“The love of some house-broken ape
or the love of a man? Man’s love is
a different thing from this warmed-
over passion .that women seem to
crave. There was no woman ever
made that could love like a man bur
I think you could come close if you
ever really cared about anyone.”
He whirled her suddenly onto a
balcopy that overlooked a mountain
chasm. There.he caught her up and
carried her to the parapet.
“Kiss me,” he whispered huskily.
“Kiss me before I throw you a
thousand feet- straight down.”
The girl laughed. For an instant
she seemed to dare him to make good
his burlesque threat. And then wifh
sudden abandon that she could not
check, she gave him thd kisses he
asked.
He clasped her more tightly in his
arms and rained answering caresses
upon her lips.
They were the first of his' kisses
that she had allowed since that, first
evening with him, and suddenly she
was afraid. But it was not fdar of
the man or his'love. It was fear of
her own heart,, for something had
gone wrong within her. Some gov
ernor upon her heart had failed.
“I’m sorry,” she said quickly. “Buf
I don’t care for the caveman, stuff.”
He Was angry then and caught her
roughly trying to kiss her again. But
she laughed at him aiid fended him
easily. t
“I ought to drag you out of here;”
he declared furiously. “I ought' to
take you the way men used to take
their women. Why should I play the
game of the tame apes? You would
love me in a minute if I took you and
made you like it,”
“Don’t be silly,” she taunted. “All
that stuff went out with the stone

only a handful of men who could take
a mate against her will, Sometimes
they used a stone axe but if the wo

Ward.”
"Bah. A man’s love is dynamic.”
She stood from his arms'quickly.
“A man’s love,” she said coolly, “is
what a woman chooses it to be. If
she wants to be kicked around, she
picks the man who can do it. But
you, may be assured that even those
who choosMo be kicked have a rea
