Natalie Wade, mistaken by him for a jaewspaper' reporter, writes the ex­ clusive account of Monty's arrival and succeeds In securing a trial job with a paper iif exchange for the story. Natalie becomes attached to Monty. Although she discovers Monty’s love for her is not sincere, Natalie admits that she loves him. She is as­ signed by lijsr paper to report Monty’s activities for publication. Jimmy Hale the newspaper’s photographer, be­ comes Natalie’s co-worker. Natalie ifijterviews Jake Marioli, a wealthy airplane builder, who decides to build a ite^ord-breaking ’round the world plaid^; for Monty. Marion’s daughter, S^nny, exquisitely beauti- iul, is attracted to Monty. She invites Natalie to dfpe with her, when they meet the aviator unexpectedly. Natalie 'discovers that Sunny is jealous of hfer friendship with Monty, and that she; is trying to prevent them from being alone. After driving to a ^mountain resort with Sunny and Jim­ my, Monty ^gain declares his loves for Natalie.; Sunny attempts to drive Natalie •from Monty’s attention by climbing a high wall; She almost loses her balance and,is pulled back by Monty. Jimmy later asks Natalie to consider his love for her if she refuses Monty. Natalie induces Monty to set out with her in an airplane search for two .missing aviators. At dusk Monty • lands the’plane in the open country,, where he and Natalie must spend the night. Resuming the search in the morning, they finally locate the fliers.

Tor nothing else could have sent him to them in such mad haste. “Mont’s safe,” Natalie cried out. “Is that it, Jimmy?” He nodded his head, gasping.

There was no sign that she could find during that evening that Jimmy remembered at all his love for Natalie Wade. It was an evening she was to recall afterward, an evening she often won­ dered about. There was a delay of two days be­ fore Mont resumed his flight. He clicked if off then in amazing fash­ ion. Station after station reported him. Each time the refueling was a success.

When it was clear that he would finish easily, Natalie and Jimmy start­ ed East with the Marions to meet him. The girl reporter felt as though her heart would burst when she saw him again. But she hung to her self­ control as well as she could and man­ aged to make the trip without reveal­ ing the tumult within her. Sunny Marion had a new bearing now. That-’Seeming triumph was gone but in its stead had come a quiet de­ termination. Their own pilot had miscalculated the speed Mont would make, It was a race’at the last to see who would get in first at Mineola and scarcely had their tri-motor stopped rolling when the black ship, a little battered and..worse forwear, swept downward. It was. then that Natalie’s knees al­ most buckled under her. Jimmy and Sunny raced pn ahead to gather' him' into their arms. Natalie came after with Jabe Marion. To her aniazement, ■ Sunny faced her with Mont, her atm about him and his thrown across her shoulder. “Congratulate us, people,” she was saying. “Mont apd I are going to. be married.” ' ■ Mont turned quickly and 'looked down into Sunny’s face. Clearly lie had not expected so . early an an-, nounceinent but he grinned when he looked * up again and gripped • Jabe Marion’s hand as the older man came forward. ■ , ' ’ . Natalie was surprised at her own reaction. She thought she knew now what Sunny meant when she spoke of cheating. The girl, no doubt, .had taken Mont’s words, as an offer of marriage .on their night together. He. had been caught -in the trap of her apartment naivete. • Suddenly then' Nat realized, that she too, had been caught. Nothing she could say or do .v?ould make any dif­ ference, Mont was equally helpless.. And if what she suspected was true, there might be desperation behind Suiiny’s haste. ’ Natalie caught Mont’s hand in hers and clung to it. But her eyes avoided, his face, fearing what they might find there. Maybe it was all true. Maybe ,Mont had meant only that he. could not marry . Natalie,' Maybe he had willingly beeii drawn into this en­ gagement with Sunny Marion. Such - was their greeting. Such \yas Natalie’s meeting with the man she. loved after the agony of those weeks.. . But the joy of seeing him, of hav­ ing hint near, kept her from being cast down. It' was not till she was ialone that night that she gave way to a torrent of tears. They had gone, to the Renssalaer Hotel in New York Natalie had done her had listened while Mont talked with the other' newspaper reporters. She had no time alone with him. Jabe and Sunny Marion had borne him off with them. And even Jimmy Hale was nowhere about.
