Natalie Wade, mistaken by him for a newspaper reporter, writes the ex­ clusive 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. Although she discovers Monty’s love for her is not sincere, Natalie admits that she loves him. She is as­ signed by her paper to report Monty's activities for publication. Jimmy Hale the newspaper’s photographer, be­ comes Natalie’s, co-worker, Natalie interviews Jake Marion, a wealthy airplane builder, who decides to build a record-brfeaking ’round the world plane for Monty. Marion’s daughter, Sunny, exquisitely beauti­ ful, is attracted to Monty. She invites Natalie to dine with her, when they meet the aviator unexpectedly. * * * She did manage to get a thermos jug of water from the field office and she sent all this to be loaded into the cabin plane which Mont was now us­ ing. The got off with no one the wiser. Sunny and Jimmy Hale paid no at­ tention to the boys who put the sand­ wiches and drinks aboard. Mont did a neat bit of pretending when he bad­ gered Natalie to ride with him. With apparent reluctance she went aboard, sitting close the narrow forward plane. The rear seat space for auxiliary fuel-supply so that there was no great comfort for two persons in the craft but it did not matter on so short a flight. Natalie had never been aloft before but she gave the matter little thought. Mont Wallace, she knew, was an ex­ pert pilot. That was enough for her. During the take-off she was watch­ ing as best she could to see wheth­ er Jimmy Hale suspected her purpose and at the last instant was sure he did. Reverberations of the motor made xonversation difficult even in the lit­ tle cabin, and Natalie was content to be quiet. She had time now to note that they were rising slowly as Mont sfct his course for the peninsula ac­ ross the Border. She had a strange feeling that they two were in a small planet of their own winging through space; that they were the only inhabitants and that nothing mattered but themselv­ es. There was a thrill in the very thought. A world with Mont Wallace was world enough for her. She settled herself beside him and he smiled across at her but said noth­ ing. Hour after hour they winged over the brown California countryside. It was a glorious, golden afternoon. The roar of the motor lulled the girl into deeper contentment. She gave herself ■up to the ecstacy of each moment and was sure that success must some­ how be theirs on this sudden journey. When she moved a little, hunting for a more comfortable position after an hour or two, he shifted so that his arm went about her and he drew her toward him. It seemed the natural thing in their flying little world and she let herself lean pleasantly against his shoulder. It was some hours before they be­ gan their search in earnest. “Keep an eye out on your side,” Mont shouted at her, “If you see anything, signal and I’ll circle. Watch for smoke in unusual places or for’ any sign of a wrecked plane.” She nodded but when she found that there were mountains and sandy wastes alternately below, she sudden­ ly realized how futile was their quest, of the dark valleys two men and use,” she motor to their cried reply. “I got 'm for almost any might hide the small jilane. “I’m .afraid it once and he cut “There’s a chance,” he said, into trouble down here once and I’: headed for the same place. There arc down currents in some of these val­ leys that you don’t expect. We may not be able to do much tonight but in the morning there’s a possibility.’,' on he set it down in a careful land­ ing as near as he could to a patch of low woods that indicated the pre­ sence of water. They had not for some time seen one of the small coast villages or any other human habitation. When they had climbed out and stretched cramped limbs, Mont’s first thought was for the safety of his own plane and from a tool compart­ ment he took iron stakes and rope with which he fastened it securely. “Let the wind blow now,” he said when he had finished. “The ship will be here in the morning and that’s the main thing,” Nathlie set out what food they needed and they ate sparingly. “It’s going to be a little cold to­ night,” Mont said. “I think we’d bet­ ter have a little fire to warm us be­ fore we turn in,” He gathered some sticks from the nearby underbrush and built a gen­ erous fire in you yon she into and the shelter of a dune at Business and Professional Directory11 J Hour after hour they winged over the brown California countryside. The girl had known that they must some distance from the. plane, spend the night somexyhere on the “You may .have to sleep in the. peninsula but she had given it little plane to keep warm,” he told her, “but thought. Her reputation might suffer it will be better here if we can keep but it was a matter of life and death for the two pilots and she could not think of herself in their extermity. It was true, of course, that there had been no need for her to make the trip but it was a chance to help the lost pilots and do a good job for the paper as well. She offered a little prayer for their success and scanned the distant earth more eagerly than before, But there was still no sign of the men and the impression grew on her that only sheer luck could bring them to the rescue in time to be of any service. Once they passed another plane and veered toward it till they discov­ ered that it was another searcher. For an hour or more, however, they had been beyond the territory of the rest of the hunt, and Mont still flew with that serene confidence that gave her hope. When the shadows below grew so long as to be grotesque and they knew that the quick night would pre­ sently close them in. Wallace headed the plane for the open country and just as the sun sank over the horiz- EDEN OFF FOR BRUSSELS PARLEY Anthony Eden; Great Britain’s for­ eign minister, is shown holding a last* minute conference with Baron de Cartier de Marchionne, Belgian atn- bassador to Great Britain, as Eden left recently for Brussels and the nine power far eastern parley. you comfortable.” He scooped out a little hollow and heaped a sandy pillow for her head in the most sheltered spot and kept the fire going till Natalie drowsed in the grateful warmth. “I wish we’d thought to bring some blankets,” he said presently. “We may need them before morning. The nights get pretty cool sometimes.” The girl slept then while he sat be­ side her to reassure her. When^he waked, the fire had buriied low she moved to draw her light more closely about her. Then reached out her” hand to touch and found that he had gone. For an instant she knew terror. She swept the circle of the fire’s dim light with her eyes for sight of him but he was nowhere to be found. Natalie sat up shivering. She glanced toward where the plane had been and caught the out­ line of its dark wings against the sky. She tried to assure herself tljat ev­ erything was all right. But she, knew that without Mont she faced death. It was a strange fact but somehow it wasn’t new. Somew’here in her consciousness that feeling had exist­ ed before. She wondered about that and then she knew why it seemed so. Subconsciously her whole life was an­ chored to this man. Her love made him necessary to her everywherevas he was to her here on the bald desert. She must hold him somehow. She must find him here®in the dark and grapple him to herself with every bond she could discover. But just then a sudden crash in the darkness sent her screaming to her feet. Something alive was there in the shadow of the line of brush, something that moved through the dark. And then she knew what it was. Monty’s voice hailed her in to her cry. “Here I am,” he called, out getting some more wood fire. Are you all right?” Instantly her terror died, world righted itself. Yes, she him, everything was all right . had been alarmed to fihd him and then that crashing had startled a scream “It was a small dead tree,” he Said. "I swung my weight on it to bring it down and It came with a crack. There’ll be all the wood we need.” He appeared now dragging the tree with him. When lie drew near he saw her teeth were chattering and with* out a word he took her Into his arms. “Be quiet how,” he told hen “You are mostly scared. I’m sorry. I didn't think you’d wake while I Was gone. You seemed to Be sleeping; soundly.” When he had reassured her, he out of her. and coat she him answer “I was for the The told , she gone you are he kiss- into the tossed wood, on the fire till it blamed high. Then he made her sit beside him and held her close once more till she was warm. , “You won't go away again,” she said presently. “Stay where I can touch you.” He told her he would. “I’m afraid you’ve not been getting any sleep,” she said a little later. “You lie down there in the place made for me. I’ll Jean against for warmth and watch the fire.” When he luid slept a little, moved to thrust the log farther the coals, But he waked quickly took the task from her hands. “This is no good,” she said. “You will be sleepy when you're flying to­ morrow. We’ll let the fire go and bundle together. Then we can both get some sleep,” And when she had gone into his arms she slept again and knew that he held her tightly while he slept. In the morning she waked warm and happy. The rising sun had crept over the desert rim. A' soft, xvarm breeze heralded the day. She knew that his cheek touched her hair and for long minutes she lay still so as not to disturb his rythmic breathing. The sun waked him in a little while and he found her smiling down at him. “You were very sweet to me,” she said. “It makes up for some of the things I’ve held .again you.” Sh? bent to kiss his rough cheek. “There’s a time and a place for ev­ erything,” he laughed as he sat up. “This i£ the time and place for hunt­ ing lost pilots. We’d better be getting aloft.” , He lifted her up and kissed her. “I love you to death when like this,” she told him. And ed her again. While Natalie delved again box of provisions and brought out enough for a meager breakfast, |Mont Wallace was busy loosing the ropes that held the plane. They were presently aloft again and this time she’went into the crook of his arm as naturally as though the place belonged to her. “We're right about where they are likely to be,” he told the girl and bade her keep close watch of the rough country below. At noon they were still hunting from one canyon to another and they munched' sandwiches as they llew. It was while they still ate that the girl started suddenly up and peered out the window at her side. “There’s something down . there!” she cried, . over the motor’s roar. Monty nodded and swung the plane in a steep bank about the spot so that they could both look down. “It’s a plane.” he bellowed, and circled cautiously downward. They could see presently that the wreck of a biplane lay in a small can­ yon. As they came about on one of the arcs of the circle their own ship whipped suddenly over and Natlaie saw that Mont made a quick move­ ment He then, erous landing difficult. “Wait,” she cried. “Don’t land yet. If they were alive and around the wreck they would be up and waving at us now, wouldn’t they? Either they’re dead or they’ve started out somewhere. Let’s hunt around to see if we can find some sign of life. He nodded at the suggestion and began widening the circles in which they flew. Now and then he swoop­ ed low over some moving object but found usually that it was a shadow or some movement of tree or bush. They were about to give up after half an hour' of this when suddenly below them two pigmy figures rush­ ed in to a clearing ‘and danced mad­ ly, waving their arms at first and then ripping off their coats and helmets.

In the vast ma­ jority of cases the stimulus which or­ iginates the cough is situated in some region of the respiratory passages be­ tween the vocal chords and the tiny little terminal air cells in the lungs Which ate found at the end of the branches coming off the windpipe. This is called the bronchial tree. * The cause of the irritation in the respiratory passages is in the major­ ity of cases, either,an inflamed or con­ gested condition of the mucous mem­ brane lining the passage or an exces­ sive quantity of mucous secretion brought about by invading enemies called germs, Less frequent causes gland situated like a horse shoe ar­ ound the air passage in the neck, or foreign bodies in the throat or wind­ pipe such as dust or particles of food. The character of the cough varies with the cause and to some extent with the general state of health. The most obvious distinction in the qual­ ity of the cough is that between the moist or loose cough and the .dry or hard cough. The loose cough indi­ cates the successful removal, of muc­ ous from the air passages which in adults results in expectoration. Child­ ren usually swallow secretions which they cough up. The dry cougl? indi­ cates the presence of an irritant which the cough is unable to remove from the air passage. The hard cough of the early stages of bronchial cat­ arrh is usually followed by a loose cough consequent upon the produc­ tion of mucous which is secreted by the inflamed membrane. It is most important that persons suffering from a dry hard cough be kept warm and free from chills or exposure in order that the inflammation which is'pres­ ent may not be permitted to progress to the point of invading the lung tis­ sue and thus produce pneumonia. A short, weak, frequently repeated dry cough is known as a hacking cough. It is due to a mild irritation in the -upper air passages, a condition which is untreated may become chronic. Inflammation of the larnyx and vocal chords causes a barking cough which is usually inaffectual in remov­ ing any mucous. Coughing is much more prevalent in winter than in summer because dis­ ease germs which are so frequently present in thp mouth and nose flour­ ish when the body is subjected to lower temperatures. It is, therefore, most important that in winter every effort be made to keep the body free from undlue exposure to cold and wet. When a. cough does develop stay in­ doors if at all possible until all dang­ er* of developing a serious infection has passed. A neglected cough or cold accounts for a great many ser­ ious illnesses and a deaths, It doesn’t pay troublesome cough/ Questions concerning dressed to the Canadian Medical As­ sociation, 134 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. »»*»• But the woman who prepares her sandwiches as carefully as she bakes a cake will be repaid amply in respect and compliments. Sandwiches should be dainty—whether for the school or factory lunch box; a picnic; a .bridge lunch or a buffet lunch.' Combination sandwich fillings are worth cultivating. Instead of using plain cheese use a combination, of cheese and mustard pickles’. As a mat­ ter of fact, the pickle shelf can be us­ ed the whole year round to build up attractive sandwiches for the lunch box. When you do not desire to in­ clude pickles of some kind in the ac­ tual filling, two or three pickles in waxed paper may be thrust into a corner of the lunch box and you may rest assured that they will seldom, if ever, come back to you at night—or for a buffet lunch, various kinds of picldes may be placed near the sand­ wich tray.
