In the introductions that followed Natalie learned that this was the stunning daughter of the house, Sun- ny Marion. "Her naive is Sonia," Marion ex- plained, "but she turned out not to be the Sonia type and so we call her bun- ny „ Natalie saw' at once that the girl had, eyes only far Mont Wallace, though she said little and treated the others with quiet courtesy. She was so splendid a creature that Natalie felt quick jealousy' of her, as though an instinct had warned her the flier could not resist her charms. The story was much as Jimmy had guessed. Marion's company had seen the possibility of. capitalizing Mont's gift. Marion had taken the matter in hand for himself and had rushed a- greement through. By good hick and Jimmy's uncanny hunch, the two had another exclusive story but it was not a big smash. The business office would see publicity in it and held back the editorial depart- ment. But it meant big stuff later and they were in on the ground floor, he pointed out. The two were hurrying back to the office in Jimmy's car. "Boy, did von see that little blond go for Wallace?" Jimmy rambled on "She'll let, him walk over her any minute now. What is there about these avvy-ators?" Natalie laughed inshite of herself. The boy was uncanny. He had mis- sed nothing in that brief interview. "I saw," she said. "She's only one a a couple of million women that will be dreaming about Mont Wallace for the next few weeks. It's really to bad for him. Nothing spoils a man so." "You kind of go for him a little yourself, don't you, kid?" Natalie colored helplessly. There seemed nothing this amazing youth are signing your stuff there are no rules. But whenit comes to writing straight news ',there are plenty of then. Throw the yarn at them in the first paragraph and then clean up around the edges." It was goodadvice and she was quick to see it. Though het cheeks flamed a little, she went back to :her typewriter, patterned the story she was about to write on those that ap- peared in other copies of the paper, scattered about her and finisbed it quickly. "That's better the suspendered little editor told her and she knew a triumph out of all proportions to the importance of the matter. He slashed the copy a couple. ,of times with quick pencil, thrust it in- to a basket and turned to her as she was- about to leave for the night. "Here's another little tiri," he said, putting the flame , of a match to the email straight pipe he smoked, "You- ve got this guy Wallace eating out of' your hand. Keep him that way. He's the kind of an egg that is likely to make news any time. 'You'll go a long way if you can string him along e- nough to keep the edge on his stuff." The girl sat for a moment on the corner of a. desk and listened to what he had to say. He was friend- ly and unsentimental, at least as far as she was concerned. She sensed somehow that he wanted her to do well, perhaps because it was he'who had given her a trial. "Dad used to tell me a lot of things about this business," she 'said, "but I. wasn't interested then. Now I'm beginning to find out how fascinating it is. I'll be glad if you give me all the help you can." "I'11 do that. But watch out for this game," he, cautioned. "It's n fool business. You get so after a while you can't quit and you can't afford to go- on. But maybe it won't get you the way it does a man." He turned back then to his desk, this soiled suspenders, conspicuous across his lean shoulders. Vaguely she was sorry for the little man. Now she went out into the dingy hall. She glanced at Jimmy's office "That was .e good job you did last night, Miss Wade." could not guess. She felt a surge of anger at him, but realized that an- ger was foolish. "One of the two million," she par- ried. "Let it go at that." • That afternoon on another assign. Ment they passed Mont Wallace in the Marion girl's handsome car.' Natalie was surprised at the quick slash of main her jealousy struck her. It was not possible that this one man in all the world held so terrifying a power to hurt her by casual' action. And yet the very sight of him, whom she had never seen until the day before, was enough to stir her, I and to see him in the innocent com-! pany of the little blond beauty was exquisite torture. Turning quickly to Jimmy Hale, Natalie covered her emotions with a scornful laugh at her own vulner- ability. "Now, nowi" Jimmy chuckled.! "Don't get catty. It won't do - any good tocut the girl's' throat." For once the photographer had mis-, understood, but his guess was close enough. She' had laughed again but this time in, better spirit and Jimmy. seemed satisfied. But the girl realized she had a bat- tle to fight with herself even yet. She hadn't counted on the lash of jealousy, hadn't believed the hateful emotion possible to .her. , She went about her work with Jim- my and .bullied, back to the office. Mack Hanlon •was again on duty.' but it was empty. He was probably in the dark room unless he had left his prints to dry and gone home. She walked clown. -the single flight of stairs and out into the street. It. was well on to dinner time, The glow of the sunset on the harbour and distant ocean had turned the town for a few minutes into an enchanted land. Natalie turned with a curious ex- hilarationto walk toward her hotel. Surprisingly, though she had worked , hard, she was not tired. She had been much too deeply interested in her work to suffer weariness. Now she walked briskly and it was not till the musical chime ofan auto- mobile sounded twice that she looked up to find the blond Sunny Marion beckoning to her from the big ma- chine she drove. They sat across from each other in the town's one exotic restaurant. Sunny Marion and Natalie Wade. And they made a picture• of contrasts. The daughter of the airplane maker', had hair like white ash. She wore no hat, yet the vivid color of her fair complexion was unmarked by the sun. A light -weight white motor coat seem- ed to emphasize the rounded slimness of her figure. Natalie had slipped her ownsmall hatfrom her lustrous dark hair.' For that first day at her work she had worn a linen suit of cream and brown. It. set offwith velvety ivory of her skin and seemed to deepen the color of her large, dark eyes. She was vastly curious at this sud- den attention fromSunny Marian. For the girl had offered her not only a lift in, her car but had pressed upon her an invitation to dinner. "I'm mad about writing." she was saying now. • I'd give anything to do newspaper work. Won't you tell me about it?" Natalie laughed. She glanced at her small wrist watch, which the loan a- gent had • refused to take from her for only a fifty -cent piece. He paid little or no attention to her. when site came in to write her late story, but when she had turned it in and was wondering if she might then, leave the, office for her, own devices, he called her to the desk. That was a good. job you .did last night, Miss Wade," he said, "and you turned out another one for the after- noon paper. But this thing is a mess Of tripe. Don't worry about it, but do it over again and remember that a newspaper story is one thing. and a signed article is another. When you DOINGS -IN THE SCOUT WORLD A Telescope For B. C.

But there was something more than this behind the dinner invitation and talk. "I wonder," site heard the girl ask finally, "if I might go with you some- times on assignments. 1 would love 't and we could use my car." "Why, of course. Any time. That would be very grand for a reporter." As she spoke, Natalie saw a min- gl relook of delight and annoyance cross the other girl's face. Something happened which was both pleasing and displeasing to Sunny Marion and she had not been able to keep from revealing it. • A moment more and she knew what that something was, for Mont Wal- lace stood beside the table. He was smiling down at them. He was speak- ing to them both, asking if he night join them. . Natalie smiled' ,in response but there' was a secret meaning- in her smile for she knew now why she had been given an invitation to dinner. This gleaming child was jealous of her. She had feared that Monty in- tended spending the evening with Na- talie. She had planned to circumvent the invitation and she had made sure of success as far as she, could. Now Sunny was delighted to see the flier once more but chagrined to find that she must share him. with this dark girl. Natalie left most of the ,conversa- tion at first to Monty and Sunny. :The girl was • quietly eager for talk and Natalie's heart was too full for the effort at light badinage. Mon.'ts eyes came to hers at intervals in a manner that seemed more eloquent than. his words. But they were mostly on this . blooming blond girl with the ashy hair, and she- knew that Sunny would . find fuel there for the fire of her adoration. As calmly as' she could in the tur- moil of her heart, Natalie tried to study the two. In fact, she included herself in, the lesson and made valiant effort to cast up the values that each of the three represented.

In this community are hundreds of individuals and families on the watch for an advertisement which will offer them what they want at an advantageous price. Call them bargain -hunters if you will, but tluifty shoppers would be the better designation. Thrift is a commendable trait and merchants should cater to it. One family wants a new carpet --the• need is not urgent.. An- other family is looking forward to buying dining -room furniture - it may not be for a twelve month. . One man is thinking of buying himself a watch. One woman a shopping bag; another an umbrella, All can be made to buyearlier-by advertising. Advertising can make the desire so keen that the bargain is forgotten in the ,fever for immediate possession. A NOTE TO MERCHANTS Stimulate business by the offer of some slow-moving lines of special prices. Brighten up business by advertising some desirable goods at reduced prices. Make advertising banish dull business. Often you can tempt the buyer who is biding his or her time, to buy from you -at a time of your naming. Shop Where You are Invited to Shop TheClintoll owsR 000rd
