Although she discovers Monty's dove for her is not sincere, Natalie admits that she loves him. She is assigned by her paper to report Mon- ty's activities for publication. Jimmy !hale, the newspaper's photographer, 'becomes Natalie's co-worker. Natalie interviews Jabe Marion, 'a •wealthy airline builder, who decides to build a record-breaking 'round the 'world plane for Monty. ' Marion's daughter, Sunny, exquisitely beautiful, pis attracted to Monty. She invites 'Natalie to dine with her, when they meet the aviator unexpectedly.

After driv ang to a mountain resort with Sunny and Jimmy, Monty again declares his love for 'Natalie. Sunny attempts to drive Natalie Franz Mont's attention by climbing a ,thigh -wall.

At dusk Mon- ty landsthe plane in the open. Coun- try, where he and Natalie must spend the night. Resuming the search in the morn- ing, they finally locate the fliers. Na- talie fires 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 refuel- ling stations 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 before the flight, Monty once more declares his love to Na- talie. In spite of adverse weather re- ports, Monty takes off. Natalie re- turns by plane to California, where she hears that Monty has reached Moscow, and is continuing on to Siberia. I. is a puzzle to me as much .as to you. The woman claims that she is, my wife." "Your wife!-!" Natalie cried, "but that's impossible!" Her whole being fought against the thought. "I couldn't have married her," Monty asserted, then cooking at the woman he added, half -humorously, "I could never have been that drunk!" Up to now Jimmy had donee little but watch. This latest sally from Monty seemed to relieve the tense- ness all around. Jimmy turned to the 'woman. "You're sure that I'm not the fel- low?" he asked sarcastically. "I'm in no mood to jest!" wasthe sharp retort. The woman drew to the farther end of the roam, lit a cigarette, exhaled slowly. It was a dramatic moment, silent, deadly. The woman spoke first. Her tac- tics had the advantage lof putting the others on the defensive. ' "I suppose you all wonder why 1 don't shriek and tear my hair," she began evenly. "There's no need for histrionics," FIFTEENTH INSTALMEeTT she continued without a pause. "Mont," she turned to face him, "Mont," she said quietly, with none "youi want to throttle me, but it of her former manner, "I know what would do you no good. Being nasty you are thinking -and fearing. But won't settle anything. I have good to put you at ease, let me tell you reasons for corning here. You know this. Jimmy and I love each other.' who I am -you must know what I We plan to be married. I never really came for." loved you, as you know. I tricked Before other voices could break in the woman faced Natalie and contin- ued. "We have something in common- we love the same man -or do you?" "What do you mean?" Natalie broke in suddenly. But her words were not enough to still the other woman. "I loved him once - I still love him. And as far you -- Give you three weeks with another public hero with a good copy slant and you'd fall all over again!" Sunny dashed her cigarette vicious- ly to the floor. "Let's not beat around the bush!" she fairly shouted. "Don't tell us what we're thinking and doing. What about you?" "Yes -what's your explanation of this?" demanded Jimmy. Monty took charge of the situa- tionand faced his accuser, "Out with it!" he roared. "What's your game -what's your racket? 1 never saw you before in my life and you know it. If you don't start talking fast VII turn you over to the police!" Unruffled, undismayed, his self -ad- mitted wife merely smiled. "Still the same old Mont," she you into the engagement only to please a foolish vanity. I'm sorry, but perhaps the future will help you to forgive me. In the meanwhile,. I hope you and Natalie are very bappy. Can you say the same for me?" Monty paused for a moment, then sprang to his feet, "Sunny, Darling," he exclaimed, "of course I forgive you -and wish you happiness!" He looked at her again, again at Ji "Does Natalie know about -about you?" he asked. "She does," replied Jimmy. "She knew it this morning before we left for the airport." "This makes it perfect!" was all Monty could say. He started to pour another drink, then turned 'to the seated pair. "Have another whiskey and soda -this time for Nati", he said, gayly reaching for the glasses. In a trice the bubbling drinks were raised. "A toast!'", demanded Jimmy. "To Natalie," added Sunny. "To all of us!" corrected Monty. At that moment the door buzzer interrupted them. Their glasses a- loft, they slowly lowered then. Said Jimmy, "I'11 go see who it is -wait!" Jimmy disappeared toward the foyer. His footsteps were heard to stop, followed by the click of the door being unlatched: To the ears of Monty and Surrey came a Voice, low, throaty, intensely feminine. "Is this Miss Wades residence?" the Voice inquired. D. H. McINNES CHIROPRACTOR Electro Therapist, Massage e lee: Almon 'Street.

"You're right, but -"Jimmy's reply was broken' by the Voice's third query. "May I come in?" Double footfalls could be heard in the foyer. An instant later Jimmy returned to the room accompanied by a tall, dark woman in silver fox cape whose face was indistinct be- hind a light veil. Her rich, contral- to voice filled the roost rethough she did not speak loud. She had not waited for Jimmy to speak first. "You are Mont Wallace?", she de- manded, "1 am," replied Monty, "but whe, are you?" e "I am your wife," announced the woman, simply, "Vivian Wallace, nee Morgan," A bombshell in the room could have done no more to astonish the three, But the woman who called herself Vivian remained strangely cool.. "This is an outrage!" protested Monty, recovering himself quickly, "Scarcely that now," the . woman replied in an even tone. "The out- ragewas committed; Iong ago -this is but the sequel!" And as these words hung poised in the tense atmosphere, Natalie burst into the room. "Did S' hear the door buzzer?" queried Natalie, looking about the room. Her eyes widened at the sight of the strange.'. woman. She turned to Monty. "Won't you introduce -us?" "Why-", Monty faltered, "This is Nliss-er -Morgan , Misr- Morgan meet Miss Wade." The dark woman held aloof, her brows arched. : Again the throaty voice frilled the room. "Mir. Wallace has neglected to mention that I am also his wife!" Natalie recoiled. Her lips strove to form words but there was no sound. She fastened her gaze an the other woman ,then turned. "What is this -this trick!" she de- manded of Monty. "Tell me, -what is it?,r "Honey," began Monty, stepping forward and taking her hand, "thiel Officers: 'President, Thomas Moylan, Sea - forth; Vices President, William Knox, Londesboro; Secretaryerreasueer, M.1 A.

"When you have nothing to say, you just make a noise and try to bluff." Monty clinched his fist. He lung- ed at the woman savagely. "If you weren't wearing skirts - 1''d-" Jimmy 'caught Monty by the arm. "Take it easy," he cautioned. "We'll never find out what she's up to that way." In the midst of the din, a tele- phone had tinkled in the far corner Natalie picked up the receiver. "Hello?" she .asked, "Oh, hello, Mack. Yes -yes--" Her face was toward Monty as she listened intently. Without further explanation she hung up. She me- tioned to Monty as she left the room. Monty quickly followed intothe small kitchen.. Natalie closed the door. "That was Mack on the Wire - down at the news room," she said. "He just told pre this Vivian, Some- body, was : over to see him an hour ago. She handed him a sealed pac- ket of papers with instructions to read them before the morning, edition In case he didn't hear from her other- wise." "What's Mack going to do?" Monty asked. "Not a thing, of course," Natalie reassured him. "How'd he know it was about me?" Monty queried. "Mack didn't say - she probably told him," Natalie. reasoned. Monty offered a cigarette. As they both inhaled, he looked intently at the girl he loved. It was their first real moment alone since the brief kiss of early morning. "Sounds like old,time melodram- mer,' doesn't it?" Monty commented with 'a trace of a smile. He became more serious. "You don't believe any of this stuff, do you Nat?" His tone was more anxious now. "Of course not, Monti" Natalie as- sured him. Catching him by the hand she continued. "It's such an obvious. fake!" Monty caught her in his arms. They embraced. He kissedher hungrily. It was so good to know she trusted him. "Darling," he whispered, "every minute you're more wonderful than I could have ever hoped to deserve. I thought sure you'd at least demand an explanation: "Poor bay," laughed Natalie, "scar- ed of me -or of her?"

Mr. McInnes will be heard from Toronto Tuesday, Ap- 11 5, 4.45 to 5.00 n.m., EST and on that date will deet vibe this 'attrac- tive portrait; painted in 1748 and another, ' "Landscape with. Wagon", by the English ]andscape painter, Richard Parks Banington, who was born just six years after Ramsayes death. Both canvasses are owned in Canada. Ramsay's portrait, which is very beautiful with its cool tonalities and silvery grey background, hangs in the Vancouver Art Gallery. Bon- ington's landscape, which • hangs in the National Gallery of Canada, at Ottawa, is characteristic of the bril- liant work achieved by this gifted young artist. He died in his twen- ty-eighth year and yet won a place among the half dozen immortals in the history of English painting. In fact, `the great Renoir said of him that he was the only- Eimeish paint- er for whom he cared a whit, only Renoir expressed himself in less ole - want language in paying the tri- bute. Third "Dancing Strings" Programme At New Friday Time. "Dancing Strings", violin and pi- ano ensemble under the direction of Samuel Hersenhoren, with Allan Wil- son, tenor, as soloist, will be heard Friday, April 8, between 6.30 and 7.00 p.m. EST, in the third program at this new time. Three popular songs will be rens dered by Allan Wilson, the tenor so- loist: "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise", by Ernest Seitz; O'Hara's "Give a Man a Horse He Can Ride", and "Your Eyes Have Told Me So", the popular song by the NBC staff conductor in Chicago, Waiter Blau - fuss. Beavers On Diet. The idea of the Canadian beaver counting his callories is a little unu- sual and would hardly occur to the staunchest devotee of a balanced diet. But the beaver and, all the other intereslting members of the animal kingdom who make their homes in Canada, or in any other part of the world, for that matter, proceed very much as the human race does in an enlightened civiliza- tion when it comes to the daily menu. Professor A. P. Coventry will explain how this branch of animal economics works out, how food in abundance and variety is secured from the streams, the forest and the soil; how jaded palates are enlivened and how supply keeps pace with de- mand, when he presents his next talk on "Conservation" to the nation- al network audience of the CBC. This discussions continuing the ser- ies on the balance in nature, will be heard Wednesday, April 6, '7.45 to 8.00 p.m., EST.

"You can if the story is self-ex- planatory." Monty looked squarely into Nita lie's eyes. He searched them for an answer but was compelled to ask. "What did you mean by that re- mark?" Natalie gave a knowing. glance. "Amy girl with .all those stock props couldn't be anything but a very amateur blackmailer. Monty-- she's' just a rank beginner!" "What if I tell her to go ahead- pull allthe stops -see how far she gets?" "She'll just get herself into a bad mess -and give you a lot of free publicity," was Natalie's quick reply. At that moment Jimmy strode into the room. He addressed Monty. "If you'll step inside," Jimmy ex- plained in a slightily comic manner, there's a delegation from the sheriff's office ensconced in the anteroom. And I think they're waiting to see you." "Looks like your amateur is rap- idly becoming a professional," was Monty's dry remark to Natalie as the three started back. "Don't worry, dear," Natalie re- assured him, "this is just another part of the game." Monty faced a trio of men, ob- viously not intent on social formali- ties. The stubbier of the three ad- dressed him from the corner of his mouth not occupied by a cigar. "Is youse, or ain't pause, Monty Wallace?" was the terse interroga• tion.% "I'm Wallace," Monty admitted. "Okay, boys, take him outside." "Wait a minute!" Monty command- ed, drawing back.

BIRTH STONES The four most precious species of gem stones are ,diamonds, rubies emeralds and sapphires, but there are many others which have a strong ap- peal to people. Birthstones are popular. The story which occurs in the Book of Revela- tions, where the order inwhich the twelve foundation stones of the Holy City of Jerusalem is recorded, is sup- posed to have determined the order of birthstones. The names of these birth- stones differ slightly but the earliest ones were based upon the foundation stones or upon the gems of high priest Aaron's breastplate. The breastplate was set with twelve gems, each engraved with the sign of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Superstitions concerning these twelve stones have. persisted to the peesent day, especially in the wearing of birthstones. •Josephus mentions the connection between Aaron's breast- plate and the months of the year. The following are the birthstones commonly used in this country: Jan- uary, garnet; February, amethyst; March, bloodstone or aquamarine; April, diamond; May, emerald; June pearl or moonstone; July, ruby; Aug- ust, Sardonyx or peridot; September, sapphire; October, opal or tourmaline; November, topaz; December, tur- quoise. The pearl is not really a stone but it is in the front rank of gems.
