HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1937-12-09, Page 6THE WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES Monty Wallace has just arrived in ’California, having broken the East- West cross country airplane record. 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 Idve 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 JThe newspaper’s photographer, be­ comes Natalie’s co-worker. Natalie interviews Jake Marion, a wealthy airplane builder,, who decides io build a record-breaking ’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. Natalie discovers that Sunny is jealous of her friendship with Monty, and that she is trying to prevent them from being alone. After driving to a ..mountain resort with Sunny and J.im- ' 'miy, Monty again declares his loves for Natalie. Sunny attempts to drive Natalie from Monty’s attention by climbing a. high wall. She almost loses her balance and is pulled back by Monty. Jimmy later asks Natalie to consider his love for her if she refuses Monty. * Natalie induces Monty to set out with her in an airplane search for two missing aviators. At dusk Monty lands the plane in the open country, where he and Natalie must spend the night. Resuming the search in the morning, they finally locate the fliers. Natalie wires the story to her paper That night, at dinner, Marion an­ nounces a non-stop, ’round the world flight, with Monty piloting the new plane, "Sunny Marion.” Monty’s plan is to have ten refuelling sta­ tions along the route, where pilots are to go aloft to refuel his plane. Monty flies with Natalie to New York, where he will begin the flight - eastward. They are followed by Jimmy and Sunny. ing to destruction and she wished that she might go with him. But Jabe Marion laughed at her fears when .she said something of the sort. 0“Mont knows what he’s doing,” he declared. "It’s a daring thing but he is using that storm to cut his flying time on the first leg. It means a tail wind for him most of the way.” Their own ship mounted higher and higher to escape the fury of the wind, Both pilots stuck to the forward cabT in, Now and then she was sure that they were anxious^ about the fate of their own plane. But at last she knew that the dang­ er was past. Moonlight shone on a rolling sea of clouds beneath at last and when they made morning stop even these disappeared. It was still early to from Mont.

When a storm struck their ship ov­ er the Alleghenies as they headed for the southern route of flight, her last hope of Mont’s safety fled. That storm would overtake him in mid-At- lantic. It would hurl him down into the angry ocean. Her imagination pictured him go- Thursday, December 9, 1937 moved J. W. BUSHFIELDDR. R, L. STEWART PHYSICIAN can Telephone 29.

Father and daughter now together toward the tri-motor and Jimmy Hale stood for an instant at Natalie’s side. "Reep a stiff upper lip, kid,” he said huskily. "Plenty worse fliers than him have made it easy across the At­ lantic.” She thanked him for the courage that word gave her and climbed with him into the cabin of their ship. Another stretch of dreary hours, another and another and at last they were dropping dwon on the home port. Natalie wanted to. leap and race to the flight office for word of Mont. But she managed to sit still till the plane grounded. Then she walked with the rest to the company hangar. A couple of young men from the office came out to meet them. “Any word?” she cried out when she could not keep silent any longer. She faltered, when they shook their heads, But when they came closer and -said quietly that Mont was overdue at licked yet” "I know,” Natalie said softly, "but it frightens me to think of him alone out there.” Mack Hanlon burst into the place then. He seemed as much concerned as Jimmy. "What’s the matter,. Nat? They told me you passed out" * "Just scared, I guess,” she told him, "And tired. Let me get at a type-’ writer and I’ll give you a yarn.” "Forget it,” Mack bade her. "Take the day off till you get into shape.” But Natalie insisted on Writing’ what she could, and as she wrote her courage came back. For she found herself writing the story of the lions who waited for word of world flier, And the story was of prayed and confidence, "If the lift of human hearts keep his plane aloft,” she wrote, "then Mont Wallace is safe,” It seemed as she wrote that must be true, that Mont could fail and she finished with a Wellington Mutual Fire Insurance Co.

The night had been madness and now the day flight over the desert stretched before her like a terrifying sentence of imprisonment. Jimmy had paid her little heed. But he had hung over Sunny Marion all through the night and even now.was clinging to her arm as they moved about the Jiangar grounds after break­ fast. Jabe Marion had been kindly but there had been little -understanding in him. He wondered apparentljr that a mere newspaper writer could be so much concerned at the outcome of the first control station, she gave little cry and slumped to the ground. Blackness engulfed her and she knew no more till they brought her to in the small office. Her eyes, opening, lighted first on Jimmy Hale’s white face. Sunny stood beside him face showed genuine alarm, glance of ’triumph was still seemed, as Natalie struggled to sit up. “Gosh, kid, you gave us a scare,” cried Jimmy.. “Don’t take it so hard. You know Mont Wallace. He isn’t!

Jimmy had gone, on to the office. Sunny and Jabe Marion had gone home to rest, leaving behind instruc­ tions that the first word should be relayed to them. But Natalie could not rest. She could not leave the side of the little radio operator who hud­ dled over his short-wave set. > It was dark outside the small of­ fice, when at last the operator stiff­ ened suddenly to intense listening. “Great Scott,, what a flight!” the operator shrieked, rattling his key like mad. “Moscow? The second control. Boy, oh’boy!” Natalie was on her feet, shrieking. The grabbed the office telephone and yelled the news to Mack Hanlon who had taken the late watch, while the little operator poured the details into her ears. “He passed up the first control. Broke all records across the Atlantic. Had gas enough for Moscow. Went straight through riding the tail-wind.” Mack was yelling in turn at the other end of the line. Someone was using another line to notify Jabe Mar­ ion and Sunny. “Refuelling O. K. at Moscow,” Nat shrieked on. “He’s off for No. 5 tak­ ing the northern route. That’s Sib­ eria. They can't stop him now.” She banged out another story for the early extras and then raced for home and bed. Jimmy got her on the line j-ust be- , fore she turned in and his enthusiasm nearly matched her own. After ■ that .she slept. The flight for her was as good as over. She Wanted to be ready to write the story of his success, It was late when she waked .but she did not lose heart when she found that Mont was again unreport­ ed. That day she wrote another story and even when nothing had been heard of him that night she went home in serene confidence, that suc­ cess was his. Morning, however, sent her into a panic again.. She had left word that she was to be called when the report came but there had been no call. The telephone told her that nothing more had been heard. She knew that he carried gasoline enough to cover two legs of thd flight at once if he chose. But now he should have been ready for the flight to Nome, and he could hot make that without refueling. Another day passed and another and then it was certain that he was down somewhere. No possible hope could be held out. He „was down somewhere in Siberia as Jimmy Mat­ tern had been. Mattern had come through after tremendous hardships. Natalie knew that if Mont still lived he faced ’the same difficulties. Somewhere in the awful wilderness of Russia’s old pris­ on colony he was dead or fighting for his life. The girl went under, then. She could fiots hold\ up longer. She could not battle through her daily story Of the search for him. Mack Hanlon saw it and told her she must take a rest, “You’ve nerve,” he quit for a here when told me this morning, got to get yourself iii shape. It’s tio good trying to go on.” ; But idleness was almost as bad, it seemed, as work. For days she stay­ ed in bed but it seemed that she- could not rest, When exhaustion finally claimed her, she would go into a dim consciousness that passed Jot sleep but she would wake as tired as before -—as little able to think of to fight. Jimmy Hale called up now and then and told her he would let her know the instant anything; Was heard but he would not. come to see her. "I can’t do it, Nat,” he said, "while Mont ’is missing, If he’s all right, I’ll be up, and if they find him dead, i’ll stick with you till the end of time. But I can’t come up now, kid. Don’t ask me,” ' At last she understood what was the matter with Jimmy. Me was put- It Will Pay Yop to Have An EXPERT AUCTIONEER to conduct your sale. See T. R. BENNETT At The Royal Service Station.

He had denied his love for her and had fought his battle, but he, knew he would have it all to do over again if he saw her. AndZ besides, there was some strange honor in him that would ’not let him come to her while there was a chance that Mont would be back. Perhaps, it was not quite that eith­ er. It was too much like waiting for that he might Jimmy could there was no Mont dead, he might come back with hope. But not to know was too much for Jimmy Hale. .. Her heart went out to the boy. And then one day when she was sit­ ting on the ocean- shore trying to get back her strength to meet the dread news she was surd would one day come, she saw that Jimmy walked with Sunny above. The girl of herself, first time it occurred to her that Sun­ ny might be as hard hit as she. Sure­ ly the tragedy of uncertainty ought to have brought them together before this. Sunrfy was spreading a blanket on the rocks and Jimmy left her there presently without seeing that the girl below was Natalie Wade. .When the boy was gone, Natalie climbed, up to where the golden girl- sat staring at the sea. Sunny sprang up at sight of her as though she had seen a vision. "Natalie,” she cried. “Please, Nat­ ale, don't come up here. Don’t look at me like that.” "Don’t be silly 1” Natalie’ tried to laugh.'“You and I ought to get to­ gether. 'If we’re going to go crazy over the same man, we might a? well get it off our chests by -talking to each other. ,, Sungy stood helplessly while Ka­ talie climbed the rock to, her side. When the dark girl took her into her arms, Sunny burst into tears. "Oh, Nat,” she cried, with sobs. "I cheated. I loved him So. I was de­ termined yoii shouldn’t have him. You know,' I think. I was out with him that night.” "Let's forget about all that,” Na­ talie begged. "Let’s just talk about him.” , . And so, clinging to each other, they sat together beside the sea until a madman raced his ear along . the beacii and' ran screaming U they sat.
