love for her is not sincere, Natalie
admits that she loves him, She is as

comes Natalie’s co-worker.
Natalie interviews Jake Marion, a
wealthy airplane builder, who decides
to 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 §unny and Jim
my, 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 Mbnty 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.

“Mont?' she said quietly, with none
of her former manner, “I know what
you are thinking—and fearing. But to
put you at ease, let me tell you this.
Jimmy and I love each Other. We
.plan to be married. I never really
loved you, as you know. I tricked
you into the engagement only to
please a foolish vanity. I’m sorry, but
perhaps the future will help you to
forgive me. In the meanwhile, I hope
you and Natalie are very happy. Can
you say the same for me?”
Monty paused for a moment, then
sprang ro his feet.
“Sunny, darling,” he exclaimed, “of
course I forgive you—and wish you
happiness!” ■

“Does Natalie know about—about

“She does,” replied Sunny. “She

“This makes it perfect!”,
Monty could say. He started
another drink, then turned

“Have another whiskey and soda--
this time for Natl" he said, gayly
reaching for the glasses. In a trice
the bubbling drinks were raised-
“A toast!” demanded Jimmy.
“To Natalie,” add Sunny,

At that moment the door buzzer
interrupted them. Their glasses aloft,
they slowly lowered them. Said Jim

woman, simply. “Vivian Wallace, nee
Morgan,”
A bombshell in the room could
have done no more to astonish the
three. But the woman who called her
self Vivian Wallace remained strange
ly cool.
“This is .an outrage!” protested the
flier, recovering himself .quickly.
“Scarcely that now," the woman re
plied in an even tone, “The outrage
was committed long ago—-ihis is 'but
the sequel!”
And as these words hung poised in
the tense atmosphere, Natalie burst
into the room.
“Did I hear the door buzzer?”
queried Natalie, looking about the
room. Her eyeswidened at the sight
of the strange woman.'
She turned to Monty. ‘
“Won’t you introduce us?”
“Why—” Monty faltered, “This is

and Sunny came a Voice, low, throaty
—intensely feminine.
"Is this Miss Wade’s residence?"
the voice inquired.
"Why, yes,” Jimmy was heard to
say.
“And is Mr, Wallace here at the
moment?” the Voice inquired again.
"You’re right, but” Jimmy’s reply
was broken by the Voice’s' third
query.
“May I come in?”
Double footfalls could be heard in
the foyer. Ah instant later Jimmy re
turned to the room accompanied by
a tall, dark woman in silver fox cape
whose face was indistinct behind a
light veil. Her rich, • contralto voice
filled the room although she did
speak loud. She had not waited
Jimnly to speak first.
"You are Mont Wallace?” she
manded.
“I am,” replied Monty, “but who
are you-?”

voice filled the room.
“Mr. Wallace has neglected to

Unruffled, undismayed, his self-ad

"Still the same old Mont?’ she
countered,. “When yon have nothing
to say, you just make a npise and
try to bluff.” ,
Monty clinched his fist. He lung
ed at the woman savagely,
“If you weren’t wearing skirts —
I’d—”
Jimmy caught Monty by the arm.
“Take it easy,7 he cautioned.
"We’ll never find out what slip’s up
to that way?' ,
In the midst of the din, a telephone
had tinkled in the far corner. Natalie
picked up the receiver.
“Hello?” she asked, “Oh, hejlo,
Mack. Yes—yes—”
Her face was toward Monty as she
listened intently. Without further ex
planation she hung up. She motion
ed to Monty as she left the room.
Monty quickly followed into' the
small kitchen. Natalie closed, the
door. »
“That" was Mack on the wire —•’
down at the news room,” she said.
“He just told me this Vivian Sopie-
body was over to see him an hour
ago. She handed him a sealed packet
of papers with instructions to read
them before the morning edition in
case he didn’t hear from her other
wise.”
“What’s Mack going to do?” Mont
askecl.
“Not a thing, of course," Natalie
reassured him.
“Flow’d 'he.know it was about me?”
Monty queried.
“Mack didn’t say — she probably
told him," Natalie reasoned.
Monty offered a cigarette. As they
both inhaled, he looked intently at
the girl he loved. It was their first
real moment alone since the brief kiss
of early morning,
“Sounds like old-tipie hheller-dram-
mer? doesn’t it?” Monty commented
with a trace of a Smile. Fie became
more serious.^
“You don’t believe any of this stuff
—do you, Nat?” His tone,'was more
anxious now.
; “Of -course not, Mont!” Natalie as
sured him. Catching him by the hand.,
she continued.
“It’s such W obvious fake!”
Monty caught her in h^s arms.
They embraced. He kissed her hung
rily. It was ‘SO good to know she,
trusted hmi.\ -
“Darling/’ he whispered, "every
minute you’re more wonderful .than I
could ever have hoped to deserve. I
thought sure you’d at least demand
an explanation.”,
“Poor boy,” iaughed Natalie, “scar
ed of me—or of her?”
“Well—not exactly.”
“What then?”
“You can’t expect people to listen
to such a yarn and not get ev.fin a bit
curious, can you?”
"You can if the story is.self-ex
planatory.” ■ ■
“What did you mean by that re
mark?” '
Natalie gave a knowing glance.
"Any girl with all those stock props
couldn’t be anything but a very am
ateur blackmailer. Mont—she’s just a
rank beginner!”
Monty whistled softly.
“What if I told h(ir to go ahead—
pull all the stops — see how far she
gets?” B .. ’ .
“She’ll,just get herself into a bad
mess — and givei you a lot of free
publicity,” was Natalie’s quick reply.
At that moment Jimmy strode in
to the room. He addressed Monty.
“If you’ll step .inside,” Jimmy ex
plained in a Slightly comic manner,
“there’s a delegation from the sher
iff’s office ensconced in the ante-room
—and I. think they’re waiting to see
you!”
“Looks like your amateur is rap
idly becoming a professional,” was
Monty’s dry remark to Natalie as. the
three started back.
“Don't worry, dear,” Natalie reas
sured him, “this is just another part
of the game.”*
Monty faced a trio of men, obvi
ously not intent on social formalities.
The stubbier of the three addressed
him from the corner of his 'mouth not
occupied by a cigar.
“Is youse, or ain’t youse, Monty
Wallace?” was the terse interrogation.
“I’m Wallace,” Monty admitted.
“Okay, boys, take him outside.”
“Wait a minutel” Monty command
ed, drawing back. “What’s the idea?
You can’t take me without & war
rant!”

forward and taking her hand, “this is
a puzzle to me as much as to. you.
The woman claims to be my wife.”
“Your wife! — !”. Natalie cried,
“but that’s impossible!” Her whole
being fought against the thought.
“I couldn’t have married her,”
Monty asserted, then looking at the
women he added, half-humorously, “I
could never have been that drunk!”
Up to now Jimmy had done little
but watch. This ‘latest sally from
Monty seemed to relieve the tense

woman.

draughts. A draught is a
air which, striking one part of the
body, cools or ‘chills that part, while
the rest of the body , remains warm.
We/5)n stand out of doors in a good
st^^reeze and feel stimulated by the
rush of. air. We can go in bathing
and have the whole body wet and yet
experience nothing but good out of
the plunge,, If, however, we have a
perceptible breeze strike only one
part of the body, or if our feet be
come chilled after haying been wet,
such an expedience is apt to be fol
lowed by discomfort in the part chill
ed by the draught, or a cold in the
head may follow. There is no ques
tion but that some people arc more
sensitive to draughts than are others.
Fear of draughts should not lead
to our living a .life shut off front
fresh air. Living in over-heated
rooms, with the air absolutely still,
is to be avoided, for it has a defin
ite ill-effect on the body. It is quite
practical to keep the air in a room in
the gentle motion which comfort and
good health demand, without having
draughts. The motion .of air-which
does not strike and chill one part of
the body is an 'essential -of good air
and makes a most desirable atmos
phere in which to live and work.
Draughts may be avoided by open
ing the window an inch instead of a
foot, or by the using of window
Boards to direct the incoming air up
ward and so prevent a direct draught.
In offices and school a good practice
?is to open the windows wide a reg
ular irt'tervals while everyone .moves
about^ -y takes some simple exercises.
Those who are sensitive td draughts
can frequently overcome the condi-,
tion by the use of cold baths or by
douching the chest with cold water.
In this way they tone up their bodies
to adapt theifiselves to changes in
temperature. Clothing according to.
the thermometer is -also necessary.
