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 □Yarned him in her own case, but he •^Ahiad not let it rule him. Surely lie 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 fy Baufaft Eahte 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* she realized that exercise of jeal< within herself. “This is silly, beautiful. She is I can ever hope to that, she is wise in knows men. If she Mont Wallace at give everything I've tact and. inspiration, be enough.” 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 must be. Which was very queer, for this was >usy she the foolish cried out Marion isSunny more beautiful than be. More than her beauty and is not *r feet, got in And it to have •I must love and may not many nights for dancing, They That was the first of they made a foursome dinner or some other outing, paired off variously but circumstances 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. They had driven to a famous moun­ tain resort for the occasion and Jim­ my, as was often the case, had taken you and was She fought to get herself in one,” she said with a little No one will ever Business and Professional Directory suddenly found in the deeper re­she cesses of her heart an honest liking 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. “You must know someone. I'm fed the people I’ve been going out Please find another handsome Natalie was not to be caught up on with, boy.” But entirely napping. “I know someone you’ll adore. He’s grand company and I’ve just discov­ ered him. You know him, Mont. See If you can get Jimmy Hale.” 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 the dark waves of Natalie’s soft black J he is about,” she said laughingly There was a touch of the artificial! “He’s a seventh son or something, in the darkness of Sunny’s eyebrows, i He can guess more than most peo- ,----------------------------------------- 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 she knew then that her weakness from some cause other than 'her own spirit hand. But her lips betrayed her “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 age. Even in those day$.. there was only a handful of men who could take a mate against her will, Sometimes they used a stone axe but if the wo­ man didn’t care for that she used the stone axe first or very shortly after­ 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 son for their madness." “What reason?” “They have a streak of that in Wellington Mutual Fire Insurance Co. Established 1840.

What kind of love would you choose?” Natalie laughed lightly, “That,” she said, -"is better. After all,. it is the woman who chooses. Hold me nicely and don’t try to bite me and I will shoyz you what kisses really can mean.” She waited then and very gently Mont. Wallace’s arms went about her and she turned her lips to his with a smile that seemed to brighten the starry night. Her fingers crept up to. caress his cheek. And at that instant a terrifying scream frightened them apart. There was another shriek and. the flash of a white dress across the bal­ cony. A ghostly figure rose against the stars from the top of the parapet and then .Mont Wallace leaped. Sunny was hysterical with fear when they dragged her back from that wall. Monty just in time. Apparently she than she intended, give them a scare and then had found herself swaying unsteadily over lip of the abyss. Her .screams echoed, across canyon as Monty caught her drew her back to the balcony floor. Natalie clung to her and tried to quiet “Get away from me,” Sunny shriek­ ed, “Leave me alone. I never want to see either of you .again.” She went off into another paroxysm of screams that brought a rush of footsteps from the ballroom. “Quick,” hissed Natalie. “Hit her. Slap her hard.
