The Wingham Advance-Times, 1938-01-27, Page 6WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES Thursday, January ZT, 1938 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 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 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. The day once more alie . confession. "Go on,” prompted Monty, seating himself opposite the girl. Sunny seemed loathe to tell all. Her mind raced as her actions played for time. With true feminine instinct she decided on one last gamble. She must preserve her secret at all cost. In­ stantly her manner changed. The old seriousness gave way to something softer. Her next words held a world of meaning, "Don’t you think you care for me —a little, even after all that’s hap­ pened?” Monty was caught off guard. "Why—why, yes—why not?” faltered. he before the flight, Monty declares his love to Nat-. ♦ Sunny, slowly, “there is something I must tell you.” Her serious manner brought Mon­ ty’s eyes peering down at her. She walked to a chair at the fruther side of the room to be farther away from the man who must hear her strange “Monty,” * ♦ began too for triumph could not be far away. But victory was not to be won so hast­ ily, Monty had had time to recover from his first surprise, Now he was fencing. He made no move, “Isn’t this rather a face-about us both?" he questioned. "A woman’s privilege” returned Sunny, lightly. “But hardly a man’s” came Monty’s swift reply, “You’re going through with it — even if you care for me more?” Sunny betrayed her own vanity and she knew it. She sought to cover it by forcing an affirmation. "You admit you still care for me!” Sunny leaned toward Monty seated 4 wo- the has “But she’ll tell about me!” Sunny shrieked. Sunny followed up her advantage’ before her. His eyes met without hesitation. "You know, Mont, I really let you out of that engagement because I felt generous—I mean about Natalie.” Sunny’s strategy was well mapped by now. She continued: ■ ' “But somehow I’m wishing now I had never been such a fool!” The note of flattery was not lost on Monty. Ever mindful of a certain masculine charm that could not be denied even by his enemies, Monty knew that many women had been at­ tracted to him. Sunny’s approach was a masterful stroke of psychology. She knew his Achilles’ heel—and now she aimed directly for it. "Mont!” Her exclamation came as she slowly rose to her feet. ‘"Why couldn’t we start all over again?” she was crossing to him now. She was before him. She knew that when Monty reached out his hand her h,er gaze, faltered, dropped. “Of course, I ‘do care for ny—but—” Monty could words to betray Natalie. “If you care for me, why don’t you show it?” Sunny demanded. "What would you want me to do?” Sunny was baffled, but not for long. She wo-uld force Monty to her will but it would be harder than she ex­ pected. She seated herself on the arm of Monty’s chair. "Mont,” she said, "I didn’t really realize until this moment how much I’ve wanted you. I can’t give you up so easily—I don’t care if I did pro­ mise!” Monty was caught off guard. It would be hard to cast the girl aside and in all his being he couldn’ft find the will to do it even though his mind might so direct. Sunny lowered her cheek against you not Sun­ find MAHARAJAH SEES GUESTS OFF ■■■ El Splendor and magnificence marked the celebration of the "silver jubilee of the'feign of H.H, Liettt-Gcn. Ma­ harajah Bhir&ja Sir Gjtnga Singh of Bikaner )RIGHT). The viceroy him- self visited the state with leading princes of the Indian empire. The jubilee program lasted for weeks. At its conclusion, his guests left from his private railway station. Here he Isb-poses with H.H. Maharoa Raja wari Sitigh Bababur of Bundi (GEN* THE), and H.H. Maharoa of Kotali (LEFT) brioc to. bidding them fare* well. his hair. She was close to him now. Something inside told her that she’d have her way. Her hand rested on his and then closing fingers gave her the answer she had wanted- The jangle of a telephone broke their moment, of silence. Sunny gave a start. The jangle continued and she rose to pick up the receiver., "Hello?—Nat?—where are you?” Sunny listened, then covered the mouthpiece as she whispered, “It’s for you', Mont, Natalie, Do you want to talk to her?” "Of course!” said Monty, taking the instrument from her hand, "Hello,1 Nat! What’s that?—you’re at the office?-—and just found out I was loose? When "are you coming here—we have a date with the Mayor -—you know. I’ll be waiting! I’m run­ ning over to my place to get a change of clothes, I’ve worn these all the way from Siberia and .they’re getting out of press. Okay, see you soon!” The phone in place, Monty sprang into action. There was no time to lose, Barely an hour would elapse be­ fore they would be riding in the May­ or’s limousine to the testimonial par­ ty in his honor. The flight, the land­ ing, the tussle at the airport — all seemed like a thousand years ago. Much had happened in the few hours since. Monty threw on his coat and was about to go when Sunny ran to him and threw her arms about him. “Don’t go,” she pleaded, “that man will be there—she will use occasion to expose you!” "What makes you think she anything to expose?” parried Monty. “I know—I know it’s all some ter ’rible plot",” cried Sunny, "but don’t you see — she’ll take advantage to force ypu to pay her off! This would ’be playing right into her hands!” "You don’t think she’d try to make a public scene before I had a chance to pay off quietly, do you?” Monty reasoned. “You don’t understand — she’ll be there, if only to be able to threaten you!” Monty thought little of Sunny’s ar­ gument. He turned again to go. Sun­ ny ‘fastened herself on his arm, at­ tempting to drag him back. Her in­ sistence made Monty wonder. . ’"Why shouldn’t I let her make a scene?” he exclaimed. “She won’t get anywhere. I could ’have her thrown .in jail in five minutes because I know she hasn’t any proof—phoney or oth­ erwise—of what she’s trying to sayj” "But she’ll tell about me!” Sunny shrieked. And in that' instant she knew ’her secret was out. Monty stared at her for a moment, then asked: “Tell about — about what?” he de manded. r"Oh, I might as well tell you now —it’s too late to cover anything up!” Sunny was sobbing. Monty led her back to a chair. There, seated toge­ ther, he held her tightly as she sought to speak. Finding her voice, she con­ tinued: "I know this girl—and she’s a fake. She never married you and she said as much to me right here this after­ noon. But she does know me. .She was in a gambling house in New York when I went slumming with a party of friends. We were hardly in the place when it was raided. She always held it over me. She knew I’d give anything to.keep father from know­ ing. Now she wanted me to get you to pay her some money to hush up a scandal. If I didn’t, she threatened to tell father and get all three of us mixed up in a dreadful mess!” It was probably the most straight­ forward speech Sunny had ever made in her life. The simple; direct man­ ner of her confession brought Monty quickly to her aid. , "You poor kid!” were Monty’s words as he sought to comfort her. “Why didn’t you tell me all this in the first place instead of beating around, the bush with all this 'I Love You Truly* ’stuff!” ■ “I’m — sorry,” was all Sunny could say. Monty knew she was. Absorbed by their own situation, neither Monty nor Sunny had heard the door buzzer, nor its opening and closing. They became conscious of another’s presence only when Natalie walked to the centre of the room. Mont’s arms still held the girl in close embrace. They both looked up into Natalie’s surprised and horror-strick­ en countenance. “Mohtf—Sunny!” was all Natalie could say. Her eyes welled with tears. ,Monty lifted Sunny to her feet feet aiid they both ran to Natalie, “Nat!” Monty called, "You mustn’t you can’t think that—-” But Natalie had groped her way out to the front entrance. She open­ ed the door only to find it barred by Jimmy who had just returned from a picture assignment far uptown. “Why Natalie?” Jimmie exclaimed, “What’s the niatlef-—why the weep?” “It’s—they*s*-In there,” Natalie sobbed, and pushing Jimmy to one side started for tbe elevator, jimmy ran into the next room. One glance at Monty and Sunny and the awful suspicion clutched at his brain. His Wellington Mutual Fire Insurance Co, Established 1840.

Hours, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., fists tightened in anger but the very thought that Natalie had been hurt and was even now fleeing,, he knew not where, prompted him .to waste no time. “You cad!—and you—you said you loved me!” he hissed. He looked at them both, then strode from, the room. Monty and Sunny were again alone, slightly bewildered for they had both been dumfounded at the un­ toward turn of events. Monty found himself first. Catch­ ing Sunny’s hand he urged her for­ ward. “We must find them and tell them the truth!” “Why bother?” she sobbed, "they’d never believe us, ever!” "But they must!” Monty insisted., "They simply must!” Sunny turned her face, eyes brim­ ming. "I .guess we’ll have to take each other now,” she said smiling weakly. MOnty sat down beside her, he took her hand, then passed -his arm around her. "Maybe we aren’t so unlucky after all”, was all he could say. The door buzzer again. Monty im­ patiently rose to see who the unwel­ come intruder could be. It was the Mayor’s chauffeur. The car was ’downstairs. • "I’ll be—we’ll be with you in five minutes!” Monty promised. Then he ran back to Sunny. "Come on, little girl,” he shouted, gaily, "we’re going places and do things. We’re going to the Mayor’s own party-—and you’ll be the queen bee of the evening!” , Sunny ’ looked at Monty incredu­ lously. She could hardly believe her ears. Then slowly the realization came that Monty had made the all- important decision. Happiness seem- ed to burst in her heart but there Were no words to give it expression.

Kincardine Housewife Fooled By Fire Bell When the fire bell rang last week at the early, hour of 2.30, o’clock in the morning, one Kincardine house­ wife mistook its persistent ringing for that of the alarm clock at her bed­ side and arose to begin the day.
