Monty Wallace has Just arrived in
California, having broken the East-
West cross country airplane record..
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.
Natalie wires the story to her paper.

plan is to •h?iy<( ten refuelling sta

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. And
then the two seized him and pummel-
ed him until he actually could not get
the words out.
“Just like Jimmy Mattern,” he sob

most twelve days before he could get

When it was clear that he would

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.
Next day the newspapers all carried
the announcement Sunny M.arion for
whom his plane had been ‘ named,
would become the bride of the world
flier, Mont Wallace. Jimmy’s pic
tures of her appeared everywhere and
that evening there'- were. pictures of
