CONNELL PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Phone 19. fy Beulafi Monty Wallace has just arrived in ©alifornia, having broken the East- West ctoss 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 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-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 Jim­ my, Monty again declares bis 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 Isvv for hep if she refuses Monty. - ''Natalie induces Monty id §61 OUt wiriUter-inan’.airplane search fof two - 11-aylatots>__A* dusk Monty:; ’'lafftls the.J?Janin 6dunri-y>- where he aiid Nataiie'must spend the - wight. -Resuming "the1* search in the .morning, they finally locate the fliers.

Monty piloting the new jriane, "Sunny Marion.” Monty’s ;>lan is to have ten refuelling sta­ tions along the route, where pilots are to go aloft to refuel his plane.

"Call the Mayor, in a couple of hours, That’ll give, me a little time, to relax—-and we still won’t be late for the party." “You’re on, Mont!” Natalie called back watching the foursome disap­ pear into an elevator. She turned. Her eyes fell on the strangely silent Mrs. Wallace. “Are you going to stand by and see him get away like that?" Natalie ask­ ed the woman. “Why not,” was the offhand an­ swer. “He’ll be safe there, and. when he steps out of the cell, I’ll be wait­ ing to put him right back in!” Natalie turned to Sunny and Jim­ my, She knew not what to" think. Evidently Monty’s sudden adventure with the police would not provide any permanent escape from the designs of the woman who stood as her ac­ cuser. Quickly taking leave of the three, Natalie jumped into her car, bent on seeing Mack Hanlon. Only a few hours had passed since she had talk­ ed with Mack about Monty’s prepar­ ations for landing. So much had hap­ pened. She sped along, refreshed by a cooling breeze. It was yet early af­ ternoon. And in more ways than one the day had scarcely begun. Meanwhile, back at Natalie apart­ ment, a different scene was taking place. Jimmy was not long in follow­ ing Natalie, believing his greatest ; “My dear, you are going to help me.•Let us understand; .each other. Let us be frank. We have—let ms say some experience in common, have we not? And this young aviator, who I must admit is quite handsome, work's for your father, I know you have no­ thing, so I’m willing to make a bar­ gain. Help me touch your young av­ iator friend for a few thousand and we’ll call our own little deal square. And if you don't—’’ Sunny broke in: “If I don’t, you’ll drag this scan­ dal into’the papers and: ruin not only Monty, but my father as well!” “Not so fast,” cautioned the other. “It's easy to see you’ve never handled these things before. But you’ll learn -—I hope.” “What do you mean?” Sunny’s tone betrayed a growing fear. "I’ll simply go to your father. Of course, he’ll see my point and admit it—in cash.” Sunny was. furious, yet she knew that an angry display would, do no good. Her mood changed to one of remorse. She almost sobbed. “Oh, why did I ever go to New York. Why did I—” Her voice trail­ ed off into a bitter wail. The other woman was unmoved. “Don’t be a kid. I know you couldn’t help what you did. You were just a sightseer, making the rounds, slumming with a gang of gay Park Another newcomer to Hollywood’s foreign stars’ colony is Germaine Aussey of France. Her first picture shortly will be released. followed by Jimmy and before the flight, Monty declares his love to Nat« ♦ ♦ ♦ “You’re wanted for assault and bat­ tery and you’re cornin’ wit’ us, see?” a taller limb of the law explained, none too gently. "Assault and battery?” Monty ask­ ed, dazed. “AVho ever said I assault­ ed her—even though I can’t deny I thought of it!” “Who’s talkin’ about a darnel” the stubby one protested.. “All I want to know is did youse, •r did youse not, sock a coupla guys at the airport this mornin’?” >The room burst into a roar of lau­ ghter. Monty stepped to the side of the spokesman of the law. “All right, boys, let’s go.” “You mean—you ain’t gonna put up a fight?” one of them asked, in­ credulously. “Nary a fight!” Monty assured, solemnly. “Gee — and me wearin’ this pair of brass knuckles all the way from the station'” was the disgusted reply. As he walked to the door, .Monty turned to Natalie. y 4 V Natalie Listened intently as she faced Monty. Thursday, January 20, 1935 • situation would be rend- field, as it were. Sunny in the in the him go. She returned to the help ered saw room where Vivian Morgan was cas­ ually thumbing through the leaves of a magazine. Without looking around, the throaty voice of the woman address­ ed Sunny: “I’ll never forget your face when I walked in this room,” the woman began. ’“You really didn’t think I’d come, did you?” “Of course not, you fool," was Sun­ ny's angry retort. “I told you that I needed money, and I still do.” “And' you think you can get it out of me?” inquired Sunny, viciously. The woman had turned by this time. She seated herself and proceed­ ed to light a cigarette, proffering the pack to Sunny. Sunny made no move and the pack was withdrawn with a shrug. The woman continued: Avenue swells. You weren’t like you didn’t belong there. But you’re in it as much as.I am as far as the public would care!” Sunny knew only too well the truth in these words. Yet what irony to have her persecutor candidly avow her innocence. Could there be no es­ cape? Must her own hurt be multi­ plied by hurting others? The woman rose to go. Evidently content with one day’s mischief, her mind sought relief in other surround­ ings. Needless to say, Sunny was glad she was leaving. A moment later, the click of the front door told Sunny she was at last alone. She fell to the couch, sobbing.. She was still sobbing a half hour later when Monty buzzed at the out­ er door. Sunny rose hurriedly, dabbed at her eyes and ran her fingers over her hair. But she was more joyful than surprised to meet Monty so un­ expectedly. me, now “Hello, kid!%was Monty's breezy greeting. Inside he looked intently at Sunny, ?then added: “See here—are those tears?” Sunny smiled, weakly. She nodded negatively, but Monty tilted, her face toward the light. • “What’s the matter?” he asked ten­ derly. “I can’t believe you're feeling that badly over me—-it must be just a case of nerves after all this excite­ ment.” Sunny half turned to take Monty’s arm. They walked together toward a large arm chair. Monty talked on. “Sure —« that’s the trouble, too much excitement. It almost got me too for a while. But don’t, worry. — nothing’s going to happen — I hope." Sunny had recovered herself. "I thought you were jn jail,” she began, “did Nat fix things?" “That’s just it," Monty confided; “I don’t really know who did. Fact is, those phony cops didn’t even take me to the station. They drove me across town, stopped and incited me to go my way. Naturally, I couldn't refuse.”^ ■ The explanation- puzzled Sunny. Surely, in this chain of strange hap­ penings, Monty’s adventure was the strangest of all. Then in a flash Sunny saw it all. "Why, Mont!” she “Don't you. remember? The phone call from Mack Hanlon? I wonder if he didn’t send those plug-uglys ar­ ound to get you away from here?” “Why not?” agreed Monty. “I’m perfectly willing to hand tlie bouquets to Mack until a more deserving can­ didate pops up!" Sunny’s thoughts had already pass­ ed on to other things. Here, alone with Monty, she could certainly find a way to extricate herself from a pre­ carious position. At first she consid­ ered telling Monty the whole story, exclaimed. FIRST MAN-TO-MONKEY LONG DISTANCE CALL IS HOWLING SUCCESS REUBEN CASTANG WOOS JOSEPHINE * • ♦' monkey language.

Wingham 1 confessing her part in the tangled web. But something within her for­ bade such candor. In a moment she had decided and launched her cam­ paign. « “Mont,” she began evenly, “what are you going to do about this wo- man?” Monty thought for a moment, then replied', "Nothing.” “If I fight back, she’ll have some­ thing on which to hang her claims,” Monty reasoned, "if I play possum, she’ll soon get tired of flailing the wind and either qliit or malje a of herself.” Sunny’s mind was speeding to an effective argument against strategy which could only spell aster for her. ' "How do you know,” she asked, “that she hasn’t something up her sleeve — something more tangible; that might be used to make trouble?" “I never saw the woman before in my life,” Monty repeated," and even if she docs have something that can be twisted around as fake evidence, I think I can, take care of myself in' the clinches.” ■ Sunny pondered a moment. It was quite obvious that any campaign to' talk Md'ftty into capitulation . was bound to lose. She tried a last re­ sort. “Why not settle with her, just to avoid annoyance?” Sunny’s evidtent eagerness betrayed her. * ■ “Why are you so anxious to'sec me give this girl hush-money?" Monty demanded, bis teyes narrowing as he looked at her. Sunny winced. The shot had hit too close. "Well,” she began slowly, "I sim­ ply thought that if you could keep fool find this dis- out of trouble — without paying too much, of course — you’d not be risk­ ing a nasty’scandal, hot only for your own account, but for Dad as well.

If he agrees with my policy, vve’ll lay low and see ^vhat happens. But if he’s inclined to feel the way—J” Sunny had suddenly turned pale. Here was an dnexpected! twist to her plan, if Monty went to her father it would surely mean an eventual meet­ ing between the elder Marion and the woman. That the woman would not hesitate to Use her knowledge of .Sun^ ny*s affair as a club to force Marion into line was a foregone conclusion. Sunny was desperate. There was no alternative now than to tell Monty the truth. . (Continued Next week) Barrister, Solicitor, Notary, Etc. Money to Loan. Office — Meyer Block, Wingham THOMAS FELLS AUCTIONEER REAL.
