After all, this was the tri umphant ending of a world flight. The airport was jammed with an ad- miring throng. Natalie turned her gaze quickly to Monty,- and witu a fluttering smile to cover her ember- rassment bade Monty receive the 1✓ plaudits due him. "I'lI only take a minute, Dear," as- sured Monty, giving Natalie an af- fectionate ;rat on the ehvulder. He turned to face a. battery of news sameras and reporters, pencils pois- ed, eager to catch a first-hand ac- count from "the beta of the hour. Monty inured to interviews spoke briefly, answered routine: questions tepidly. In a few moments he was back to Natalie's side. A throng of news -hawks followed, unwilling to leave their prey. Monty turned ang- tily. "Can't you fellows leave us alone?"1 he roared. "Can't you see I want a little privacy? You've got your story—beat it and run it!" "Careful, .Dear," cautioned Natal- ie. "They're 'only trying to do their job. Remember, the papers can make you -and they can break you, toe!" "All right," said Monty reluctant- ly, "but why can't they leave a fel- 'ow alone -especially at a time like this! 1 want to be with you," he adcleci, smiling into Natalie's upturn- ed face. They kissed, "Where's Sunny?", queried Monty suddenly. The jarring note made Natalie wince. "They' came tothe field with me," explained Natalie, "now that you mention it, it does seemstrange they haven't 'been on 'hand." "I can't believe that, they stay a- way at a time like this!" insisted Natalie. "Let's get out of here anyhow," Monty said, catching her arnn in his. The crowd followed the two as they slowly pushed toward where Jintmy's car had been parked when Natalie, Sunny :and Jimmy had arrived. at the airport. When they came to the spot the car was gone. "The mystery deepens," exclaimed Natalie with a little laugh. "Looks like we'll have to walk," Monty added' with mock seriousness. "I just carie off a round -the -world flight, but I haven't cab fare : in my pocket. Cracked my Iast quarter for cigarettes in Vladivostok!" Natalie's thoughts were not of a comic turn, but .the incongruity of Monty's remarks struck her. She joined him in laughter while ner- vously aware of the press of onloolc- ers around them. At last a squad of small boys broke through the strain- ing police cordon.
