At dusk Mon- ty lands the 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 £hies 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 efuelling stations along the route, where pilots are to go aloft to refuel his plane. •Monty flies with Natitlie 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, -- This time the flight is eminently successful although a false report makes Natalie, Jinnny and Mack un- easy for a few hours. With thg news that Monty is flying straight for Van couver without stopping at Nome, pre- parations are rushed for, a welcome re cerition when Monty lands at the air- port. Natalie tushes home to rest a few hours before meeting Mont. Sunny and Jimmy call to drive her to the airport. Before they leave Natalie's apartment, Natalie discovers Sunny and Jimmy in each other's arms. They announce their intention to wed. Dashing to the airport, Natalie is waiting when Monty lands but they are engaged ht a tussle with auto- graph seekers. "Monty," began 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 further side of the room to be farther away from the man, who must hear her strange confession. "Go on," prompted Monty, seating himself opposite the girl. Sunny seemed loathe to tell all, i Fier mind raced as her actions play -I ed for time. With true feminine in- stinct she decided on one last gamble. She must preserve her secret at all cost. Instantly her manner changed.' The old seriousness, gave any to something softer. Her next, words' held a world of meaning, it "Don't you think you care for me -a little,• even after all that's hap -1 "Bat hardly a nman's," came Mon- ty'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 before her, His eyes met her gaze, faltered, dropped. "Of course, I do care for you Sun- ny—but-" Monty., could not find words to betray Natiilie. "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 far long.- She would force Monty to her will but it would be harder than she thought. She seated herself on the arra 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 - miser Monty was caught off guard. It would be hard to cast the girl aside and in all his being he. couldn't find the will to do it even though his mind might so direct. Sunny lowered her cheek against his hair. She was close to him now. Something inside told her she would have her way. Her hand rested a- gainst 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. De you want to talk to her?" "Of course!" said Monty, taring the instrument fromher hand,.. , "Hello Nat! What's that?.—you're at the office?—and just found out that I was loose? When are you coating here we have a elate with the Mayor, you know. I'll be waiting( I'm running 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 hotu would elapse before they would be riding in the mayor's limousine to the testimonial patty in his honour, The flight, the landing, the tussle at the airport— all seamed like a thousand years ago.

"A woman's privilege", returned "Oh, I might as well tell yon now Sunny lightly. -it's too late to cover 'anything upi," Monty stared at her for a moment, then asked: Historic Victoria Bridge Gets New Permanent Floor II Montreal; April 14—Montreal's fa- mous old Victoria Jubilee Bridge is getting a new floor. The existing roadway deck, installed in 1927 and constructed of British 'Columbia ced- ar timber with an asphalt wearing surface, isbeing dismantled. The. permanent construction which will re- place it consists of steel rail grid ccu- cre e -filled slabs. Each slab is ap- proximately 16 feet 10 inches long, five feet wide and three inches thiels and weighs about 5,000 pounds. Twenty-four of the bridge's 25 spans ase involved and there will be ap- proximately 54 slabs to each span, a total' of 1,298; In weight it conies to 6,480,000 pounds or 3,240 tons. The big job is being handled by men of the Canadian National Railways, which operates Victoria Bridge. Work is being done at nights so as to interfere with week -ends as Mille as possible. The first stage Will take about eight days. Work on the se- cond section will begin about May 2. Sunny was sobbing. Monty led her back to a chair,. There, seated to- gether, he held her tightly as she sought to speak, Finding her voice, she continued:. "I know this girl — and she's a fake. She never married you and she said as much to me -right here this afternoon. 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's always held it over me. She knew I'd give anything to keep Father from knowing. Now she wanted me to get you to pay her seine money to hush up a scandal. If I didn't she threat- ened 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 a- round the bush with all this 'I Love You Truly stuff?" sorry," was all Sunny could say. Monty knew she was. Absorbed by their situation, nef- 'ther Monty nor Sunny had heard the door buzzer, nor its opening and dos- ing. They became conscious of an- other's presence only when Natalie walked to the centro of the room. Mont's arms still held the girl in close embrace. They both Iooked up into Natalie's surprised and horror- stricken countenance, "Mont—Sunny!" was all Natalie could say. Her eyes welled with tears.. Motility lifted Sunny to her feet and both ran to Natalie. "Nat!" Monty called, "You mus- n't, you can think that-" But Natalie hacl 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!" Jimmy exclaimed, "What's the matter —. why the weeps?„ "It's-they're—in there," Natalie- sobbed, ataliesobbed, and pushing Jimmy to one side started for the elevator. Jimmy ran into the next, room. One glance at Monty and Sunny aitd the awful suspicion clutched at his brain. His fists tightened in anger but the thought that Natalie liad been rout and was now even fleeing, he knew not where, prompted him to waste no time. "You cadl-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 dumbfounded at the untoward turn of events. Monty found hiinself first. Catch- ing Sonny's hand he urged her for- ward. "We must find them: and tell them the truth." But Sunny sank to the couch, lost in a torrent of tears. "Why bother?" site sobbed, 'They'd never believe us, ever!' "But they must!" Monty itrsisted, "They simply must!" Sunny turned her face, eyes brim- ming. "I guess we have to take each oth- er. now," she said, smiling weakly. Monty sat down beside her, he took her hand, then pressed his arm around her. "Maybe we 'aren't SO unlucky after aIl," was all he could say. The door buzzer again. Monty iia patiently rose to see who the unwel- come intruder could be. It was the Mayor's chat -lifer.. The ear was downstairs. "I'll he—we'll be with you in five minutest" Monty promised. Thenho ran back to Sunny. "Come on, little girl", he shouted, gaily, "we're going »daces and do things. We're going to the Mayor's own party—and you'llbe the queen bee of the evening!" 'Sunny looked at Monty increduous- !y, She could hardly believe her ears. Then slowly the realization came that Monty . had made the all important decision. Happiness seemed to burst in her heart but there were no wends to give it expression.
