Natalie Wade, mistaken by him for a newspaper reporter, writes the exclus- ive 'account of Monty's arrival, and succeeds in securing a trial job with a paper in exchange for the story. Na- talie becomes attached to Monty. Although she discovers . Monty' ;love for her is not sincere, Natalie admits that she loves him. She is assigned by hell paper to report Mon- ,ty's activities for publication. Jiinnty .Bale, the newspaper's photographer, ,becomes Natalie's co-worker. ; FOURTH INSTALIVIL+fNT Mont cracked, his palm, across that pink and white cheek. The noise of it made a little echo from somewhere and'when,the others had rushed onto the balcony there was deep silence while .Sunny slipped limplyinto Mont's arms and Jimmy Hale came quickly to stand beside Natalie. I "Crapes, Nat," the photographer; said in an awed' voice, "that kid is wild. A. few drinks and she's half nuts. We better get her out of here.", "Now, Jimmy," Natalie said slow- ly, "she was just hysterical , . : that's all. She sure came out of it when Monty hit her." "Yes, 'and what a mistake that was. She'll never leave, him alone now. Lea given her the biggest thrill she's had since she was a little b punk in rompers. She'll throw her- self at his feet from now on.' "Pm m. afraid you're right, Jimmy," 1 Natalie laughed, She tried to take Sunny's arm.. as she began to lead her hack into the house but Sunny shook her off. I "You better keep away from her," Jimmy advised. "You only stir her up. Come on out here with inc." t ':She tamed back with him to the balcony and stood with him looking across the parapet. Her mired now wds a tumult at thought of the trap-' edy. so narrowly averted,. The chasm was a great howl of darkness. It seethed impossible that death lay surely there only a hand's-breadth ti- way fi;oin the security of the place where she stood. 'That the bright -haired girl had been a • witness o1 the sentiinental passage between herself and Mont Wallace, there could be no doubt. It must have Leen this that had set her to the temporary madness of that climb to the parapet. How much of that act had been true emotion and how much the prompting of her mild intoxication. Natalie could not say, but she knew 1 there must be some instinet of des- peration in what Sunny had come near doing. It was not likely, she finally decided that •Sunny actually contemplated throwing herself from the balcony. More probably she in- tended merely to frighten the two. She said as much to Jinuny. "Tbe blonde is dizzy," he rasped out in his husky voice, "I suppose you were kissing that bifid of prey. Or he was kissing you, which amount- ed to the same thing. She's nuts anyway and a little liquor makes her more so. She took one look and shrieked. Then she had to start her, 1 dive to cover up. Anything to get his mind off you, probably." Natalie sighed, "It was a close IChing. I'm •seared yet," I e 'all right now." Her eyes went back to the flyer's face. "But, boy,. what a wallop you Carry in that good 'fight hand. Aren't you ashamed of yourself—striking a ' helpless. wo-J man?" Mont stammered apologies with. a glance at Natalie. "1t was my fault," Natalie explain- ed.

Mont insisted that Na- talie do the driving down the moun- tain road. But the girl declared she was still trembling too much to make it safe. "`We're all right now," she said. "If we take it easy, I'd rather you drove. You're used to that sort• of thing." Mont Wallace seemed entirely Ont - self as he tooled the ear carefully along the' fearsome mountain road. And Natalie, taking her place beside him, found that, for the first time since their first evening together, his presence did not bring that helpless hurt that had coarse to be so constant- ly a part of her consciousness. Her heart seemed to,remember that Jimmy Hale was waiting to bind up its wound if the hurt proved too much to bear. After that night, the' foursomes were dropped as though by mutual consent. Natalie saw a' great deal of Mont Wallace. Sunny made it a point to keep an eye on her as numb 'out of instinctive liking for the girt reporter as because of her recurrent suspicions. Jimmy went on as 'Natalie's guide and mentor with little to say about the secret he had divulged that night Indeed, Natalie might•have taken it as a bit of unsober pretense if it had not been for his remarks of the next "And no wonder.

In this eonnnuttity 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 thrifty 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 alining -room furniture -- it may not be for a twelve month. One man is thinking of buying himself a watch. Oise woman shopping bag; another an umbrella.
